Caught on Camera (Love Through a Lens, #1)

by Chelsea Curto

I suck in a breath. My eyes prick with tears, and I dip my chin. “You care about me?” I ask. My voice wobbles, and I sniff. “A whole fucking lot?” “Yeah, Lacey girl,” he says softly, and he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear. His thumb traces down my jaw, and my skin feels hot under his touch. “I do. Is that okay with you?” “Yes.” I nod. “That’s okay with me. I care about you, too.” “Good. I promise this guy isn’t looking in your windows or going through your underwear drawer. He just makes sure you get to and from work safely. He goes home at seven on the dot, and he’ll stop the minute I ask him to. Some of the players on the team have security for their other halves, too.” Before I know what I’m doing, my hands are holding his shirt and I’m tugging him toward me. “I’ve never had someone take care of me before. Not really,” I say. “Not like this.” “It’s an honor to be the first,” Shawn says. “I’m sorry for getting worked up and jumping down your throat.” “And I’m sorry for not telling you.”
