Kimberly shut her eyes tightly and gripped the ends of the table. There was definitely no way she was ever going to get used to Asher Adams following her around. She thought. And she was going to always be aware of his presence. She couldn't just pretend that he wasn't there. She was aware of every part of the man. She spent almost twenty four hours with the man and somehow he found a way into her brain. How was she ever going to get any thing done?
"He's not very nice, Dad. I don't like him" she said when she opened her eyes.
"He's supposed to be your bodyguard, Kim. Not your Bestie. He's not supposed to be 'nice' because being nice is not his job" Hillary

Another reason why he had accepted the job was that he wanted to see her again.The realization had hit him hard. He couldn't deny it. It was definitely just a sexual attraction. He was sure of that much. Why else would he be having those dreams about her. Those thoughts and those explicit vivid imaginations.Her reaction to the news that he was going to be her bodyguard wasn't good... At all. But at least, he expected that. Things hadn't been so good between them those few hours they had spent together. And she was.... Of course... Who she was and he wasn't surprised that she threw a damn tantrum because things weren't going her way. That was the way he expected her to act.It was kinda funny she got pissed when he called her a princess, because that was exactly the way she behaved. Like a spoilt little brat who threw a tantrum when things weren't going her way. And that was another why his attraction to her puzzled him so da

Kimberly frowned. "Yeah I don't want to think about 'what you would do' in this situation because I have an idea and it just doesn't seem right to me".Phoebe giggled."This is real life, Pheebs. Not some damn movie." Kimberly said but she smiled too.Phoebe reached out and cupped the side of her face with a soothing hand. “You really must get past all this. You know that, don’t you?”“I’m trying.” Kimberly said rolling her eyes and Phoebe withdrew her hands.And truly she had been trying for the past few weeks to get the image of the man out of her head. The attraction to him was disturbing... Never in her life had she felt such a pull towards any man. What if she fell in love with him or something? She asked herself. That was super impossible. The man hadn't given her one reason to encourage any feelings towards him. But still she didn'

Asher Adams was in her life to protect her, which made him wrong for all the right reasons. And having these weird feelings towards him definitely not a good idea. She didn't need anyone to tell her that.Cooperate. She told herself. Let him do his thing. It won't be long now and then you’ll get your life back.She shot him a sidelong glance. Asher, despite being on his feet almost throughout the day, didn’t look tired at all. While she, on the contrary, felt like death in a skillet. Something a strong shot of caffeine would cure. And a laugh or two with some good friends would help her relax a little bit. But she knew that as much as she wanted that, she didn't even have the strength for it, and she doubted Mr tough bodyguard here would let her anywhere out of his sight."I'm going to prepare something for us to eat now" she said. "You must be hungry. I know that because I'm starving right now..

"I accepted the job for the money" he said finally, his voice deeper than usual. As for sending another member to my team to do the job, I didn't, because my team members have other jobs to handle and your father requested that I be the one to do this...Not my fault that he has so much faith in me" He said.Kimberly thought he was being cocky, but she didn't say that out loud. She rolled her eyes instead. "I think you are really annoying yourself. You judge before you even get to know me for God knows what reason. You're rude and I think I only thing worse than being kidnapped is being stuck in a house with you." she said.One side of his mouth lifted in a grin. A flirty boyish grin that made her feel all weird inside. Like she amused him. "Do you really think that?" he asked calmly.Kimberly decided to reply that question. So she said instead. "What I think doesn't matter. Obviously, we don't like each other very much, but we

She was very naïve, that’s what she was. But even at that, she had the most dangerous type of beauty. Hell, she was a walking disaster. She didn’t even have any idea what she did to him.And if he had to watch her bite that lower lip of hers one more time, he might not be able to keep his hands off her. Although she was adorable when she got all worked up, the pink stain on her cheeks making her clear beautiful eyes pop.She even smelled like summertime, like a field of untouched wildflowers filled with daisies and lavender. Right now he wished they were surrounded by nature and nothing else. He wished he wasn't here just to protect her.He would lay her down on a blanket hidden by tall grasses and taste her lips. Slide between her thighs. Make love to her for hours. The image made him hot, made the blood flow heavy in his veins. He began to think that taking this job had been a terrible idea.

She had on one of those pajama sets that his mother always bought his cousins for Christmas, but had never seen any of theirs in that shade of pale pink, or that sheer.Her nipples pressed against the fabric in tight little points, and the only way any male wouldn’t have noticed was if he were dead. And Asher wasn’t dead. He definitely wasn't, judging by the way his cock twitched as he stared at her.They were the color of cinnamon, the exact color they had been in his dreams, which made him wonder if everything else about his dreams would be the same, and they were showcased beautifully by the shimmering pastel fabric. Asher blinked past the impulse to take his gaze lower."Hi" she said. She toyed absently with the circular charm of her necklace. The movement drew his eye to her breasts. He might have thought she was teasing him on purpose, except for the genuine confusion in her voice. Her hands dropped."Hi" he r

“Doesn’t matter,” she muttered to her reflection as she brushed her wet hair and pulled it up into a simple bun. “He’s just my bodyguard and nothing more.”She pulled on a matching set of blue lace panties and bra and an off-white, v-neck, capped-sleeve top, and a skirt that swirled around her legs.After she snagged a pair of heels, Kimberly left her bedroom. Today was going to be a good day. She was going to continue with her life and try to forget the unfortunate incident that was her kidnap.She did not expect to walk straight into a solid wall of muscle. She walked right into Asher as he was coming out of his room“Oh, I’m so sorry,” she muttered, trying to disentangle her heels from his jacket, which had snagged on his sleeve.“No, sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you,” Asher said stiffly, gripping her arms gently to set her to the side so he could walk around her. He didn’t speak again, but hi

"You sure could have" Alex said, doing his best to keep his voice from shaking uncontrollably..The boss moved close. "But we did not" he said from only a foot away. His pale gaze locked on Alex's face."I became what I am today because I was determined not to fail. I don't fail... I never fail" the boss said.Alex nodded as fear swelled inside him."I let you head this operation because of your reputation" the boss said, his voice low. "You remember that you owe me too. And I wanted to give you an opportunity to pay me back my doing this for me. Because of who you were and the business I thought we could do together. I trusted you""I appreciate that" Alex Saif quickly. "I want to do what I can to keep that trust""Then where is the god damn money" the boss asked in a roar.Alex flinched and stepped back.

He took her hand in his and squeezed her fingers. "Kimberly, are you telling the truth? Do you really love me? Because if you don't, I can't make it. You are my world. This is killing me"She leaned forward and pulled him close. Then he was on the bed and they were kissing as if they had a lifetime to make up for."Of course I love you" she wispererd as she pressed her mouth against his lips, his cheeks, his chin. "I have been calling every week, trying to tell you""I know. James recorded the calls and forwarded them to me. I couldn't stand listening to them and I couldn't stop playing them over and over. I needed it all to me true, even as I told myself it couldn't be""Stubborn man" she said contentedly. "Do you believe me now?""I have to. I need to be with you" he touched her face. "I believe you. I love, Kimberly. I don't deserve you and you can do a hell of a lot bette
HER BODYGUARD Chapter Eighty Three
It was nearly nine when she picked up her phone to make her weekly call to James. She had gotten in the habit of calling him at night, so that when they finished she could curl up in bed and pretend that Asher had heard every word. That he cared about her and that it was killing him to be so far away from her.At what point did she let go? She wondered. Asher had been concerned that her feelings weren't real, that they were only circumstances. How could she prove otherwise to a man who refused to speak with her or see her? Was he really trying to give her space he thought she needed or did he not care about her? Was her love one sided?Six months, she told herself. She would give him the six months he had offered her. On that date, she would call for the last time. She would also tell James about the baby. She had hoped to tell Asher herself, but if he refused to talk to her, there was little she could do."But that is n

He stepped back and studied her, then rubbed his thumb against her cheek. "My beautiful baby girl. What did he do to you?" he asked.She covered her hand with his. "Not so much as you would think" she replied."But what he did to you. I can't believe that he kidnapped you. Yet it's all true. He is in jail, you know. As are the people who worked for him."Kimberly led the way to the sofa and set next to her father. "It's a lot to take in" she said."Too much. He fooled us all" His mouth twisted. "I'm so sorry you tried to explain to me on the phone and I wasn't listening." He pulled her close. "I will never forgive myself for that""You can't blame yourself, dad" Kimberly said. "He was your close friend, for God knows how long. I understand if you couldn't believe it at first"Her father grimaced. "That's still not enough reason. I just hope you know just how sorry I am a

"Asher, I...." she began.He pressed his fingers to her mouth. "Don't say anything, Kimberly. You don't have to""Yes, I do" Kimberly said. "You saved me... Again. Not just from Christopher. But you showed me that I was tough and capable""You always knew that. You always have been" Asher replied."Maybe, but I never had to prove it before" She shrugged. "I shot you""Good for you. You did what you had to in order to survive.. To save your father""Oh right. I ran straight to the enemy""You didn't know that. The point is you needed to escape from me and you did" he said.His casual acceptance of her actions made her heart sick. "I should have trusted you""We have been over that" he leaned close and kissed her forehead. "The reality of all this is you haven't even known me for long. In a dangerous situation, everything is heightene

"I will get you, you bitch!" Christopher screamed at Kimberly. His face turned red and his eyes seemed to bug out. "This is all your fault. I will get you, and when I do, I will make you wish you were dead. You hear me?"The last of her reserves faded. At that moment, Kimberly couldn't take one more thing. She felt weak. She handed the phone to Asher."Talk to my dad. Maybe you can make him understand. He's not listening to me" she said.Then she grabbed for a chair as her legs gave out and she fainted.------------------------Kimberly finished packing her clothes. She had already put her laptop in it's case and cleared out the bathroom. There wasn't all that much left to do, which meant she had no excuse to linger. But she desperately wanted to see Asher before she left.James had said something about him dropping by, but he hadn't been specific. Kimberly had a feeling that if she

She was living on borrowed time, as well but somehow that mattered less. If he killed her this second, she would have only two regrets. First, that she wouldn't be around to help those adorable kids anymore, and second, that Asher would always believe that she hadn't trusted him or cared for him at all.----------------------------Kimberly rode the elevator in silence, then stepped out in the elegant foyer and asked for Damon Forbes."I'm sorry" the lady they spoke to told her. "Mr Forbes is on vacation. Did you have an appointment?"Kimberly turned to Christopher. "Did you make an appointment?" she asked him.He nodded. "Paul Nelson is handling the transaction""Then Mr Nelson" Kimberly said."Of course. I will tell him you are here" she waited politely for their names.Christopher put his arm around Kimbe

"You bastard" Kimberly said. "He thought you were his friend. He trusted you. Why would you do something like this to him?"He ignored her questions. "I want you to change your clothes" he said as he walked back to the door. "You will have to eat too. No fainting. In fact, nothing out of the ordinary"She waited, knowing he was finally going to tell her what this was all about. And then, before he could speak, she understood."You need money." she breathed. "You were after the ransom money from my kidnap. Only that plan didn't work out so well for you""Smart girl" Christopher said grinning."You could have just asked for help" Kimberly said. "You didn't have to do all this""Shut up" he shouted. "I don't have to explain my actions to you. That's the thing with you and your father. Feeling and acting like gods. Now, I decided to go another way. We

Kimberly drank some water from the faucet and returned to the bed. Asher would probably have recovered from the sedative, but that wasn't going to be much help to her. Sure, he could trace her to the hospital, but then what?Alex was probably going to kill after getting what he wanted from her. She accepted that. If not today, then soon. The thought of death scared her, but that really made her want to pound her hands against the walls and scream was the thought that Asher would never know she was sorry to have misjudged him. He would live the rest of her life aware that in the heat of the moment, she hadn't trusted him."I was a fool" she whispered into the silence. "I should have trusted him. I should have remembered that that Alex would do anything to lure me out. I should have known you were on my side"Worse, she should have listened to her heart. Over the past couple of days, she had been feeling things for A

The shot was quieter than she would have thought. The sedative struck him in the upper left part of his chest, close to his shoulder. Her eyes flickered open then closed. She waited five seconds before shaking him."Asher" she yelled. "Can you hear me?"He didn't budge. She dropped the gun onto the floor and ran for the garage.She was nearly halfway across the cement floor before the computerized voice warned her that she had violated her authorized perimeter. The shrill siren began as she started the car engine. She started to back out before the garage doors had fully opened, and there was an ugly scraping sound, barely audible over the pulsing alarm.Kimberly turned on the lights of the car and drove down the street. Not long now, she told herself over and over again in a litany of prayer. I will be there, daddy. Just hang on for meTears threatened, but she willed them away.
