One wild, passionate hookup with my sexy bodyguard before I took on the duty of a lifetime. Was that too much to ask? I didn't think so.
I waded into the pool and bit back a smile when I felt the heat of Daniel's gaze on my skin, but I didn't turn around until I'd reached the far edge of the water. By the time I looked at him, Daniel's head was bent over his sketchbook again, but his shoulders held a tension that hadn't been there before.
I knew I could tempt him, but damn the man had self control!
"Are you sure you don't want to join me?" I cajoled. "The water feels amazing."
"I'm good," he said curtly. I sighed and let it go… for now.
Daniel Carter was a very hard man to cut through, that I knew much.
While he sketched, I swam laps around the pool, reveling in the water against my skin and the sunshine on my back. When I finally came up for a break, it was near sunset, and the warmth of golden hour cast a hazy, dreamlike glow over the surroundings.
