CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Nick raced around the track, taking out his sexual frustration on the field. He still couldn’t believe Shiloh had gotten up and left him in the ice cream parlor with the biggest hard-on in history. He’d had to wait ten minutes before he could leave without calling attention to his condition.

He thought he’d had her in the palm of his hand. Actually he almost had. But she’d slipped away, leaving his pants in a bind. The Ice Princess… colder than ever.

“Hey, Trent,” Hank hollered from across the field.

Nick waved and sprinted around the track to meet his partner. He wiped his face with the towel tucked around the neck of his T-shirt. “What’s up?”

“We’ve been reassigned.”

“Great. What’s the job?”

“To protect the director until further notice.”

Nick inwardly cringed. “You’re kidding, right? Who assigned us and why? We’re the new kids on the block?”

“I was told it came from upstairs. Apparently she hadn’t wanted protection at all, but Danfield himself insisted.”

“Wow, it came from that high up? Why all the special treatment?”

Hank shook his head. “No idea. I guess they don’t want another scandal. You know, like another dead director. Wouldn’t look too good for DNS not to be able to protect their own.”

Nick didn’t know if he should laugh or cry. “Exactly what do we have to do?”

“Stick to her like Velcro. One of us has to be with her at all times until we catch this guy.”

Nick wiped his hands on the towel. “When do we start?”

“Already have. Go shower, then I’ll meet you up in her office.”

Hank took off and Nick cursed under his breath. This was great. Why him, especially after the ice cream debacle?

He wasn’t sure if he could even stand to be in the same room with her again, much less stay by her side 24/7.

He couldn’t help that he felt angry. He’d never been turned down by a woman and that had done nothing for his ego.

To hell with Shiloh Templar and her icy demeanor.

A half hour later, Nick headed down the hall to the director’s office, intent on doing his best to keep her alive, but anything beyond that would be out of the question. She’d had her chance with him. She would have to beg him now if she wanted sex––and then he’d still refuse. Everything would be strictly professional from now on. He’d see to that.

He walked inside the office and found Hank leaning on Sandra’s desk, whispering in her ear. Nick would know something was going on between the two even if he hadn’t been told. Their eyes and body language said it all.

He cleared his throat. “The director catches you two mooning over each other, there could be trouble.”

Hank jumped up. “She’s waiting for us. Remember she’s no happier about this than we are.” That was an understatement. He was sure she hated the idea, especially with Nick, one of the two chosen to protect her.

After knocking, they entered her office. Nick hoped the week of not seeing her would help him cool his ardor.
