Sinful Seduction by Katie Reus Read Free Book Online Page B

proceed but he hasn’t. With Red Stone involved…what do I do now?” she asked and he could see the tension returning to her shoulders.
    “Until and unless Red Stone is officially hired they’re not getting overtly involved for legal reasons, though they’ll continue to work in the background gathering information. But if you’re willing, I’d like to stay with you in an unofficial capacity until your father’s security contacts you or until you make a decision about your security. And I don’t care if you hire a company other than Red Stone, until whoever came after you is found, you need protection.”
    Her eyes narrowed a fraction as she watched him. “And you’re just doing this out of the goodness of your heart?”
    Blue wasn’t sure how to read her tone. “If I walked away and something happened to you I’d never forgive myself.” He’d lost too many friends and even though he hadn’t known Mina long, he wasn’t walking away from this situation. From her. Even if she kicked him out, he was still watching out for her until this threat was eliminated.
    Her expression softened immediately. “Sorry, I’m just so used to questioning motives of people. I know you’re not like that. After a night of sleep I know I can’t just sit and wait around anymore. I think I was just hoping I’d wake up and yesterday would be a bad dream.”
    Blue started to respond but she continued, surprising him. “Um, if I hire Red Stone can I request you as my personal security?” Her cheeks tinged pink as she asked.
    Unsure what the protocol was and not particularly caring because he would be the one protecting her, he nodded. “I’m pretty sure you can request anything you want and get it.” Red Stone’s top priority was the safety and security of their clients and unless a client’s request put them in danger, they went out of their way to keep people happy. Considering his attraction to Mina he should probably step back if she did hire Red Stone though.
    But he was only human and that wasn’t happening.
    “You don’t have to make a decision now. Eat, drink and finish waking up,” he said softly.
    She nodded and that dark green gaze tracked over his chest again, dipping low until she full-on blushed. Seeming to realize what she was doing, she glanced away and turned toward one of the cabinets. “Everything smells good. I don’t even know what I have in my fridge so I can’t imagine what you made.”
    Blue watched her lift up on her toes, grabbing plates. Her shirt pulled up, revealing a few inches of bare, tan skin and her skin-tight yoga-style pants molded to her perfect ass and long legs. His mouth watered at the sight. What he wouldn’t give to taste every single inch of her delectable body. Feeling like a teenager with a crush, he turned around and started pulling the tortillas out of the plastic wrapping. “It’s simple, but you had enough eggs and sausage for breakfast wraps.”
    She made an adorable snorting sound. “Usually I just go for coffee, but I could get used to this.”
    Something foreign and long-buried stirred deep inside him. Yeah, he could enjoy this on a regular basis too. He wasn’t used to company in the morning—or ever. But he liked being around her, liked taking care of her… But that wasn’t something he could dwell on. As he started cutting up the sausage, he said, “In addition to Harrison, I also contacted a couple friends of mine who live here. Carter and Chris Foley. They run a dive shop. Both former military.” Carter had been in the Marines like Blue and Chris had been Delta. “If you’re okay with it, Carter is going to sit on your place today and I’d like to get you away from here for a few hours.” He looked over his shoulder to see her reaction.
    Two plates in hand, she nodded. “I’d planned to paint all day, but I can take some time off. What do you have in mind?”
    “Carter’s going to let us use one of his boats. We can spend some time on the water
