I put my hands on my hips, taking a step closer and glaring up at him. It’s then I realize how tall he is—six foot two, maybe six foot three—and he towers over my five feet two inches in five-inch heels.
He’s the kind of handsome man who definitely knows he’s hot but doesn’t care about it.
“You know, I could be someone very important, and you’re just pushing me aside.”
“You’re not,”

“He keeps looking over his shoulder, sneaking glimpses of you.”
“Are we talking about how our big ol’ Jaime has a hard-on for the princess?”
“See ya later, big guy,” I say as I teeter on my tall heels in front of him and pat his chest. “You know, you’d be a lot hotter if you were just a smidge.” I hold up my pointer finger and thumb, pinching them so there’s a tiny gap between my fingers. “Less grumpy.”
“Noted,” he says, and even though he fights it, I can see it: the tiniest hint of a smile, the whisper of it on the edges of his lips. “Get home safe, princess.”

You won’t just be following around some pageant queen and be bored out of your mind. In the past month, she’s filed three police reports due to the messages she’s received.”

“Bodyguard? Why do I need a bodyguard?”
“You,”
“Princess,”
I know God has to be a woman because no man has a sense of humor this good.
“My rules,”
“You listen to what I say. You do what I say. You do not deviate. We put safety first, and we’ll get through the next three months without too much of a headache.”
My job is to keep you safe. I am not a babysitter. Don’t act like a fucking idiot, and I’m not planning to report your every move to her.”

“Are you done?”
