Bear lay beside Mia afraid to move lest he reach out and pull her into his arms. She’d asked him to stay, not to make love to her. For the love of God, the woman was his client not his lover!

Then why the hell was he even having thoughts of holding her? He should have told her flat out he wasn’t interested in staying in her room for any amount of time. Being this close to Mia only made him want to drag her up against his body and bury himself deep inside her.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the look in her eyes when he’d walked away had been anything but telling him to get lost. She’d appeared vulnerable and maybe a little afraid of sleeping in the house by herself.

A proper bodyguard would sit in a chair outside her door, or inside the room, but far enough away the client wouldn’t have to worry that she would be accosted by the very man sworn to protect her.

And with Mia’s background of having been raped as a teen, she was bound to have residual trauma involved when a man touched her.

Holy hell. He’d set himself up for a long night of frustration.

“Would you rather I sat in a chair outside your door?” he asked, his whisper sounding like a shout in the silent room.

She touched his arm, her fingers digging into his skin. “No. Please stay.” Mia rolled onto her side, facing him. “I’ll try not to snore.”

Bear chuckled and turned to face her. “It wouldn’t bother me if you did. Several of my Delta Force brothers snored like freight trains.” He smiled. “I kind of miss it.”

She stared at him for a while. “You were close to your teammates?”

“Very.” His smile faded. Many of them were dead. Some were still at Bethesda recovering from wounds that had ended their careers.

“What about your family?”

“My mother died a couple years ago. I never knew my father.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. My mother did the best she could. I think I turned out okay.”

“I think you did, too.” Her lips curled softly.

Bear fought the urge to bend closer and taste them.

“It’s hard coming home to an empty house,” she whispered.

“Tell me about it.” He brushed a strand of her hair back behind her ear. “In my case, it was coming home to an empty apartment.”

Mia cupped his face, her eyes darkening in the pale light from the nightstand. “It doesn’t have to be that way.”

“In my line of work, it was easier than dragging someone else through the many deployments, not knowing if I would return in a body bag.”

Mia shivered. “I’m glad you didn’t.”

“It doesn’t matter anymore. The Army won’t have me back. I’ve been medically discharged.”

“I’m sorry.” She brushed her thumb across his cheek. “And yet, I’m not sorry. Their loss is my gain.” She leaned forward and touched her lips to his. “I’m glad you’re here.”

Electricity shot through him, sizzling a path through his veins then dropping south to his groin. His cock stiffened, swelling at the feather-soft touch of her lips against his.
