The Nanny is Off Limits

by Q.B. Tyler

“You’ve had to be strong for people your entire life. Who’s strong for you?”

“Sunshine.” “Why do you call me that?” He hesitates for a second and gives me a sweet smile. “Because you have become one of the bright spots in what has felt like a very dark year,”

“Elianna, forget about all of that. Forget who I am for a minute. Forget why you’re here and who we are to each other. Tell me what you want.” His voice is low and husky and a shiver moves through me at his words. Not to mention, I can’t remember the last time someone asked me what I wanted. “You said you haven’t always been able to take what you want because you’re always worried about everyone else. I’m asking you to take what you want. Don’t worry about anyone else but you.”

“I asked you once who was strong for you while you were being strong for everyone else and…I want to be that person. I love you and I’ll be strong for you. Forever, if you let me.”
