Chapter 5- On a Date

He went and sat on the bed next to her, taking her chin in his hand and turning her face to him. "You are one hell of a sexy woman, any man would jump at the chance to be in your bed. But I'm not one of them. I never mix pleasure with business. If you want to fuck you better find someone else then if you want to get me fired then fo it now. I won't put up with any of your bullshit, you can twist me around your finger. I'm hired to guard you so you will do as I say when I say, not the other way round."

"I see you aren't going to be easy to break, but I will Mr. Jake,I always get what I want. Now if you'll excuse me I think I'll take a nap before dinner," she said, jerking her chin from his grip.

When she left he checked out his room and put his clothes away, checking his gun to make sure he had bullets in it, you never knew when you needed it. He then took a long shower, his thought going to the woman he was hired to look after. She was having an effect on him, he would be lying if he said he wasn't sexually attracted to her. What he liked was she wore no make-up, but then she didn't need to as she was beautiful without it.

Stepping out of the shower he dried off, tying the towel up he entered the bedroom, not bothering covering his body with clothes, and why would he? He was the only one occupying the room. He turned when he heard a knock and the door opened and Anastasia walked in, he quickly stood up from the bed.

"Fuck," he swore. "Don't you wait until someone tells you to enter."

"Relax Jake, I hope you don't mind me calling you by that name. It's not like I can see you standing there tying a towel around your waist so there is no need for the rush."

He tried looking into her eyes. "Are you sure you can't see anything?" He asked been vigorous.

" I'm sure," she answered and shot the door behind her.

"Then how did you know I'm tying a towel?" He asked her, fixing his gaze towards her eyes.

"I don't hear the rustling of clothes and I also can tell you've just had shower from your scent and I heard a slight movement of your hands going down to your towel. You can let go of yourself now, I won't peek," she said, laughing. "Get dressed and we'll walk down together."

His face turned red and he went over to the dresser, taking out a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. He was still pissed at her for walking in and was going to make sure it never happens again, even if he had to lock the door. "Next time do not enter until I tell you to."

"Oh, someone is grumpy," she said, trying to hide her smile.

Pulling on his briefs and pants he barked at her. "I'm glad you find this funny but we are going to have to set some ground rules down."

"Like what?" She asked.

"First I like my privacy and you will respect that. Second, you go nowhere without telling me and you will do what I tell you without question. Another thing, you will stop trying to seduce me, I'm here to protect you and not to sleep with you."

"Oh my, you get me all sad when you talk this way."

Going over he grabbed her arms and pulled her off the bed. "This isn't a game, it might be to you but it's a job to me, which I will take seriously. Besides, if I were to do anything with you your father would have me killed and I rather like living. Shall we go down to dinner now?"

She smiled wickedly. "Don't worry Mr. Jake."

"Christ," he swore under his breath and wiped his forehead, he knew she wasn't going to make things easy for him.

"Sorry princess, your plans won't work on me. Now, do you need help going downstairs? I'm not sure what is expected of me, so do I take your arm and lead you?"

She grabs her white cane and goes over to the door. "I can manage on my own and you are never to touch me unless I tell you to," she said as she opened the door and started walking away. "Are you coming?" She asked when she didn't hear footsteps following her.

"Right behind you princess."

"Don't let my father hear you calling me that, it's reserved only for him."

They made their way down to the dining room where her father was already there, waiting for them. He stands up and pulls out her chair, kissing her cheek before sitting back down.

"I hope you find your room satisfactorily?" He asked, turning his attention to Jake.

"It's very nice sir, thank you."

"Dad, I have a date tonight and I don't need Mr. Jake to come with us."

"Sorry princess but you know the rules, you go nowhere without your bodyguard. Whoever you're going out with, call him and tell him where to meet you. Mr. Jake will drive you and he will go in with you. Now don't pout, he will sit far enough not to interfere in your date unless the man get out of hand."

"Don't worry sir, I will make sure the guy doesn't lay a hand on her and please call me just Jake from now on, not Mr. Jake." He looked over at her and smiled, he could tell she was angry by the way her breathing got faster and how the red crept up her neck to her face.

She may not be able to see him but she could feel Jake's eyes on her and knew he was smiling.
