She slammed the phone down on her dressing table.“Miss Lambert, is everything okay?”A light came on and Marissa turned to face Beau. She was ready to blast him for the scare he’d given her. And now that she knew he was her bodyguard, then fire him on the spot. But all that changed the moment she saw looked into his intense I want to fuck you right now eyes. He was incredibly handsome.

Knowing the highly sexual attraction that had been between them, and recognizing the look in his smoky eyes that said he still liked what he saw. Marissa tried to swallow. Not usually nervous by nature but this Texas cowboy was nothing like any man she’d known. And the way he was looking her over now caused a flood of liquid desire to pool between her legs.
