CHAPTER 12

“Mr. Lockwood called,” Kinsley’s father said as Kinsley came down to breakfast the next morning.

Kinsley sucked in a breath, then cursed herself for her reaction. “Yeah?” she forced herself to say cooly. “He sending over someone new?”

“Your bodyguard and fake boyfriend should be here within the hour,” her father continued. His back was to her as he flipped pancakes at the stove, so Kinsley wasn’t able to see the look on his face.

Kinsley shrugged. “I’m sure Harlan will send the right man.”

Her father hmphed, but otherwise didn’t respond.

Anyone who doesn’t leave in the middle of a job is the right man, Kinsley thought to herself. Sometime during the night, she’d gone from broken by Sawyer’s betrayal to angry. She couldn’t believe that Sawyer would walk out on her...on them, after all they’d been through the last couple of weeks.

He’d kissed her until she’d melted into a gooey puddle, and then he had the nerve to leave when she needed him most. How dare he, she thought angrily. How dare he barrel his way into my heart and then turn away as if it meant nothing. He’s nothing but a—”

The doorbell rang, interrupting her angry, mental tirade.

“You mind getting that?” her father asked as he continued to pile pancakes on a plate.

“Sure.” Kinsley forced a peppy tone into her voice even though she felt anything but. Despite her frustrations and heartache, she didn’t want another bodyguard. She wanted the guy who sent her pulse through the roof. She wanted the brooding man who made her feel more alive than she ever had before. She wanted the bodyguard who had saved her life and stolen her heart. She wanted Sawyer.

Doubly angry that she still had feelings for such a jerk, Kinsley stormed to the door and yanked it open, only to nearly fall on her backside when the very face she’d been dreaming about was standing on her doorstep.

It’s probably one of his identical brothers, she reassured herself. No need to be in a panic. It’s not Sawyer. “Hi,” she said with a tight smile.

The man on her doorstep frowned slightly. “Hi?” He phrased the greeting like a question, as if he was unsure of his welcome.

Kinsley's laugh was awkward. “I’m afraid I don’t know which brother you are. I can’t tell you all apart.”

Understanding lit the bodyguard’s eyes and a slow grin crept across his face. “And if I don’t want to tell you?”

Kinsley’s brows furrowed. “Then I’d guess you were Ridge?” She tilted her head to the side, trying to find any type of identifying features. “Sawyer said he was the flirtatious one.”

The triplet rolled his eyes and grumbled something under his breath.

Kinsley studied the man even harder before gasping and backing away from the door. “S-sawyer?” she stammered. “What are you doing here?”

To his credit, Sawyer immediately looked repentant. “How did you know it was me?”

Kinsley bit her tongue. She had no intention of telling him that while they were kissing, she had discovered one of the curls just behind his left ear was wound so tight it was like spring.
