Emilie pulls into the parking garage. “Great job, Ems.”

Her smile reaches into my soul and coats it in light. “I did not mess up one time. No wipers.”

“Yes. I think we should take the freeway back to your house.”

Her eyes grow wide. She nods. “If you think I am ready, I will do it.” She rubs her palms together.

We walk together toward the small room that houses the elevator from the garage level. I didn’t ask if she wanted me to escort her. I’m her bodyguard, it’s my job. Yeah, as if she’s just my client. Who am I kidding? My need to protect my Angel stems from deep inside—at such a depth, it scares me. To cover up my turmoil, I press the call button. “Now, are you ready to talk with Price? Do you know what he is going to say?”

Her smile dims. “Well, I lost another contract to Geonna, so I presume he will be sending me out on more red carpets to raise my profile.” She pauses. “Your parents’ anniversary party is Saturday, right? I will need to tell him to block out that date. And this time, no matter the circumstances, I will not be missing this important personal obligation.”

“You can skip it. I certainly could.” I allow her to precede me into the elevator. She’s going to an important business meeting. Keep your distance, buddy.

“No. We are going. He needs to listen to my request.”

I place my palm on her cheek and bring our foreheads together. So much for staying away. “I know missing Rose’s shower was really hard for you. You need to tell Price. Stand up for yourself with him.”

In a small voice, she says, “I will try.”

How can this super-sexy, confident woman be so timid with her career? She certainly was not timid in pursuing me. “Hey. In your personal life, you set your sights on something and go for it. Take me, for example. I didn’t respond to your earlier texts, but did that stop you from calling me?”

Kissable lips form a smile. “Hell no. I wanted to get together with you. I knew we had unfinished business.”

“That we did. And look where that landed you.” I take her cold hand in mine and kiss each finger.

She giggles. “Under you, where I wanted to be.”

I nip the tip of her index finger. “I fail to see how I’m a prize in this scenario.”

“You are to me.”

I almost allow myself to believe her. But I’m trying to build up her confidence, not mine. “Now, think about your secret Instagram account. You grew it from nothing. I bet you hit snags along the way, but now you’re helping thousands of people. Do you consider that a failure?”

“What? No way.”

“So, let me get this straight. You’ve conquered both me and Instagram.”

She leans over and kisses me. “I conquered you?”

My cock twitches at how it would like to conquer her right now. “I’ll let you think what you want on that score. Just take your feelings of success and hold your head up high to Price.
