CARTER

Rylee hadn’t fired me, which was honestly what I’d been expecting after she refused to even look at me before practically flying out of the hot tub that night. It might’ve been better if she had, though. I didn’t know how much more of this shit I could take.

It’d been a week of us moving around each other like zombies, and I was just about ready to crack. The fact that it was Christmas Eve day and my parents would be here any minute made it a thousand times worse.

Rylee had today and the next couple of days off from rehearsals. Jules had invited us over to his place for dinner, but she’d told him we couldn’t because my parents would be with us. That was how I’d found out she didn’t plan on changing her mind about their visit—because I’d overheard the conversation with her manager.

Things were that kind of fucked up between us right now. I shoved a shirt over my head when I heard the doorbell, my teeth grinding as I raced down the stairs without knowing what to expect from this impending visit.

It felt like a disaster in the making to me, but I wasn’t feeling overly optimistic these days. My heart hurt like hell every time I saw her, and since it was my job to keep my eyes on her at all fucking times, I was more of a wreck than what Tani had been worried Cash would turn this house into.

Rylee was already downstairs when I got there, looking like every dream and every dirty fantasy I’d ever had all rolled into one. It wasn’t what she was wearing that made her look that way. It was just… her.

Get the fuck over it. Only I couldn’t. I’d tried all week to put what had happened behind me and focus on only being her security detail, but my body and the scorched lump of coal in my chest refused to let me.

My heart leaped into overdrive from its scorched status of being burned in its own hellfire whenever I saw her, and my cock remembered far too well what it felt like to be inside her. Even in her washed-out jeans and a god-awful Christmas sweater, I thought she was the most beautiful woman who’d ever been born.

She smiled when she opened the door, and my parents predictably went gaga over her. I hadn’t told them who she was, but the contract prohibited me from doing it. As I’d known they would, they recognized her instantly, and my mother enveloped her in a hug that she usually reserved for family.

“Rylee Naples, look at you!” my mother exclaimed with her hands on Rylee’s shoulders when she finally released her. “More gorgeous than ever. How are your parents?”

“They’re good.” She smiled even wider. “Sad that I can’t be at home this year, but at least they have Billy with them.”

My father pulled her into a hug next, raising his brows at me in question over her shoulder.
