Ashlynn had liked Jase the instant she’d laid eyes on him. She’d seen his picture, reviewed as much information as was provided to her, but none of it had prepared her for the sinfully good-looking man who sat on the obnoxious sofa now. He looked more out of place than she felt when she was in this room.

As for whether or not he could keep her safe, that was yet to be seen. But she wanted someone who wasn’t intimidated by her father, as well as someone who was cocky and sure of himself. Aside from his reaction to the money, he’d been just what she was looking for.

Glancing down at his clothes, she took in the faded black slacks—likely the only pair he owned—and the slightly wrinkled white shirt. It looked more like the uniform for a restaurant employee than for someone who was now moving into a position of such importance.

“We need to go shopping,” she announced, tossing back the rest of her drink.

“Shopping?” he asked, staring back at her as though she’d lost her mind.

“I’m assumin’ you got dressed up for the occasion?”

Jase glanced down at himself as though trying to remember what he was wearing. The smirk he shot her confirmed her suspicions.

“Like I said, shopping.” Without instructing him to follow, she left the room, smiling when she heard his footfalls behind her. He learned quickly.

Grabbing the keys for the Escalade off the hook near the garage, she tossed them toward him.

His blond eyebrows lifted.

“I hope you’re a good driver,” she teased, then grabbed her purse from the table she’d set it on earlier.

When he didn’t immediately make a move to follow, she turned to face him. “Somethin’ wrong?”

He shook his head, but his eyes slipped down to her chest. She liked that he was responsive to her that way. It would make things interesting between them, for sure.

As she led the way to the SUV, she didn’t open her door but was glad to see he was right behind her. He pulled open the door, then allowed her to climb inside before closing it behind her. He hustled around to the driver’s side, hopped in, and stabbed the keys in the ignition.

“Is that bulletproof glass?” he asked, nodding toward the windshield.

Ashlynn nodded. “It’s armored, too. Can’t be too careful.”

She was honestly surprised he didn’t praise the car. Well, nothing more than running his hands along the leather steering wheel as he took it all in.

Ashlynn hit the button for the garage door opener and allowed him to figure out the rest.

Forty-five minutes later, Ashlynn was sitting in a chair in one of her brother’s preferred suit shops, watching the tailor measure Jase.

“Keep that up,” Jase joked, “and you and I are gonna be more than friends.”

She lifted her gaze in time to see the man’s eyes widen as he peered up at Jase.

“You like men?” she asked bluntly.

Those crystal-blue eyes cut her way. “I’m an equal opportunity lover,” he admitted.

She liked him more already.

“That so?”

“Is that a problem?” he asked, though she could tell by the look on his face he knew that it wasn’t.
