EMMALINE

Jaxon sat beside me at the dinner table, but when Mrs. Judy asked him if he wanted something to eat, he only simply shook his head at her. I frowned over at him but kept my mouth shut. He was a very dark and broody kind of man, and it honestly put me on edge. It was hard to do anything with him around.

Sighing, I pulled out my phone and selected James’s contact, sending him a text.

How much longer? Your bodyguard is putting me on edge. He’s very silent and brooding. -Emmaline

I smiled at Mrs. Judy as she set my dinner in front of me with a cup of cranberry juice and two bottles of water. “Strict instructions from James,” she explained when I gave the cup of cranberry juice a funny look. “He said you didn’t have any this morning.”

I sighed but nodded my head. “Thank you, Mrs. Judy.”

She smiled at me before she walked off. My phone vibrated in my hand, and I opened it up to see a text from James.

Few more hours, little one. And he’s not there to be your best friend. He’s there to keep you safe. Remember that. -James.

I sighed and locked my phone, deciding to reply later so I could eat my dinner. I was actually pretty hungry, and the pot roast, mashed potatoes, and green beans smelled really damn good at that moment.

My stomach rumbled in agreement as I picked up my fork. I shoveled a bite of food into my mouth, but the taste instantly made my stomach churn. Gagging, I quickly jumped up from the table and rushed towards the nearest bathroom. Jaxon quickly closed the door, and I imagined he stood outside of it as I emptied my stomach, my appetite now completely gone.

I moaned in discomfort as my stomach lurched again. “Move!” I heard James roar. The door burst open a moment later, but I didn’t have a chance to look up at him before I was getting sick again. His arms came around me, his body curling over mine as he whispered soft, soothing words into my ear.

When I was finally finished emptying my stomach, I reached forward and flushed the toilet, drawing in deep, shaky breaths afterward. James silently held me in his arms, giving me a moment to recollect myself.

“I thought you wouldn’t be done for a few more hours,” I finally managed to get out. But I was fucking ecstatic that he was there because I felt like shit.

He sighed. “Little one, I told you that you are my first priority. Jaxon texted me that you were getting sick. I came immediately.”

I looked at his arms that were wrapped around my waist, noting the blood stains on his black shirt. I slowly looked up at his handsome face, running my eyes over his features. “Sorry,” he apologized, looking truly apologetic, “I didn’t have time to change,” he explained.

I didn’t say anything in response. I just leaned my head on his chest, my eyes closing.
