“Hey, don’t worry about it, I’m looking after you,” he said.
“I wasn’t alone, was I?”
“When the girls left, hell no, we got brothers doing drive-bys constantly. I’m so close, it’s simple enough. We also have surveillance cameras.” He wanted to be up front about it.
She stopped in mid-step.
“Hey, it’s on the outside only, okay?”
“Yeah, okay. So um, what would you normally be doing?” she asked.
“Over at the clubhouse.”
“So do that,” she said.
“You know I can’t go anywhere and leave you solo.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Rocky laughed. “When you and the girls are there, a lot of watering down goes on. You head there now on a weekday and it’s going to be raw and raunchy. Not exactly your scene.”
“But it’s yours?”
Rocky shrugged. “After all that work, a man wants to relax.” And get blowjobs and sex, none of which will happen now, since I’m playing bodyguard.
“You think I can’t handle it?” Her jaw tensed and she crossed her arms under her breasts.
Her actions brought his attention to the melon-sized beauties displayed in her V-neck t-shirt. He licked his lips. “I’m not saying shit. I just didn’t see the point of making you sit through it. You want to go, we’ll go.” One thing I know how to do is keep a woman from being pissed at me.
“So…we’ll go?”
“Sure, if you want.” He rubbed his hand over his mouth. “You might want to, uh, change though. You’re wearing—a lot.” He gestured toward her clothes.
Evonne gazed down at herself. “It’s jeans and a t-shirt.”
“Yeah.” He nodded.
She rolled her eyes. “Give me ten.”
Rocky released a deep breath. This is either going to go very well or bad as fuck.
She returned in less than five minutes in a black leather mini that hugged her curves.
His jaw dropped. “Shit, mama, where’d you get that from?”
“The back of my closet.” She lifted her legs to show off her knee-length boots. “Same place I dug this from. I wasn’t always a number-crunching, cautious, quiet accountant.” She smirked, clearly pleased she’d surprised him.
“What happened?” he asked.
“Life.”
The shuttered look on her face t
old him that was all he’d be getting. “Fair enough. There’s one rule you have to follow though.”
“Okay?”
“What happens in the club stays there. No running and telling anyone anything and that includes your gaggle of besties,” he said, staring her down.
