He's nothing like the boys I went to high school with. Everyone was so proper and stuck up. Everyone was considered well bred, and it only made me yearn for a simple life free from that. I wanted the life I grew up with as a young girl living in Tennessee. Before my dad became governor and then bega
"You all right?" My dad steps over, and I think he's talking to me, but his eyes are on Ford. I glance back to Ford and see why he's asking. The white button-up shirt under his black suit has a blooming red spot on it and is beginning to spread across the material."Oh my god." I move closer to him
We both go back to eating and I decide to not bring up the college thing today. Last time we fought about it and he's about to leave for at least twenty-four hours. I don't want us parting on bad terms.A knock sounds on the door before an agent steps through. "Mr. President?"My dad stands. "I'm co
"July told me you're a Marine," I finally say. I want to hear him talk."I'm a former Marine. We don't retire."He's moved during our walk and is now striding alongside me. He's so much bigger when he's so close."So you're the agent that bosses all the other ones around?" I give him a teasing smile
I make my way to my bedroom and go into the closet. It's far too big for me, but many others wouldn't agree. I stopped fighting the stylist long ago. Normally I wear what I'm told to. It's chosen from a list of approved clothes and laid out for me like I'm a child. I could wear something new every d
If anyone walked in on us right now they'd see how tight he's holding me, how close our bodies are pressed together. No one ever talks to me like he does, but I like that he's not so careful. Everyone is so polite and well-mannered in front of me. I'd take Ford cursing up a storm over programmed rob
"Not anymore." His hand drops away from me and he takes a step back as if realizing what he's doing."So, what is it you do now?""I was asked to watch over you until your dad gets back." He puts his hands in his pockets and I wonder if it's to keep from touching me? I can see the look in his eyes a
I stand by the door and watch her advisor go over her options. I'm trying not to kill him with my stare, but every time Sloan smiles at him I want to choke him with my bare hands. The little shit keeps looking down her shirt. Doesn't he know she's seventeen?Not that it stopped me from rubbing again
Five years later..."How are you not used to this by now?" I take my eyes off the two agents to glance over at Henry. It still feels odd to call him that sometimes after calling him Mr. President for so long."They look at her," I growl. One thing I sure don't miss about the White House is having pe
Six months later...I bounce on the edge of the seat of our SUV about to burst with excitement. "Sweet pea. Calm down." I glance over at Ford, who is driving us home. He's smiling at me. He's let his facial hair grow a touch. I can still feel the reminder on my thighs right now. He's looked so much
July puts a hand on the president's arm and nods. "I like the sound of that. We're all out of here in six months, and I think I'd like nothing more than to raise your brother or sister with you nearby. We've got a lot of time to let this grow and plan the future."She looks up to the president, who
"The president is landing," the voice in my ear says, and I give Sloan one last kiss."We've got to go downstairs. Your dad is about to get here and I want to talk to Chad.""Okay," she says as she straightens her spine. She has more courage than I gave her credit for.Even after everything that's h
The shower shuts off and Ford steps out. He towels off and helps me down from the counter as if it's too high for me to jump from. He holds me as we walk out, and I see the blood on my bedroom floor and wall."I'll get it cleaned up." He kisses the top of my head. "You need more clothes." He smacks
Ford starts wailing on him, hitting him over and over. Two agents run over and try to pull Ford off him, but they can't. One looks over at me and I'm pretty sure it's the same one who busted us having sex. He looks at me and I know he's asking me for some kind of help."Ford," I call out. "I'm scare
I search my closet for a shirt, but I'm so frantic I can't find one even though I'm surrounded by them. I stop what I'm doing and close my eyes. I take a deep breath to calm myself down."Get it together," I tell myself.Too much has just happened. I lost my virginity, Ford told me he loves me, and
"This will only hurt a little bit," I tell her, hoping it's not a lie.I push forward another inch, and she whimpers, but I've never felt anything so fucking good. It's tight and hot and so goddamn sticky sweet."Fuck, let me in, sweet pea," I say as I press my forehead to hers and thrust in a littl
I've thought of our first kiss a thousand times, but every fantasy I came up with was weak compared to what it's like to have my lips on hers. She opens her mouth right away and I groan as my tongue touches her. I always thought the devil was the one calling the shots when he sent her to me. Why els
