I glanced at the clock again as the engine continued to rev. It was coming from my new neighbor’s side.
I stormed through the house, shoving my feet into a pair of shoes, and grabbed a dressing gown from the back of my door before I yanked open the front door.
The motorbike revved again, and I clenched my teeth as I stared at the group of men in his driveway, all with different bikes.
I stomped towards his driveway and when the stupid British ass saw me coming his eyes lit up with mischief.
One of the guys next to him nudged him in that way only men do around a woman, which just pissed me off more.
“Well, hello there, Prickles. You look so ravishing this morning.” He said with a grin.
“Are you fucking insane? It’s barely six in the morning on a Saturday. Why are you making so much noise?” I said and he slid his hands into his pockets as he rocked back on his heels.
“Did we wake you? My apologies, Love. The guys and I have a big day today, so we wanted to get on the road early.” He said before turning back to his own bike.
“Then get on the fucking road. Why are you revving the engines in the driveway?” I snapped and he shrugged.
“Just a few maintenance issues we had to sort out before we head off.” He said dismissively and I could feel my eye twitch.
He revved the engine again then grinned at me and that was when I knew I was going to kill him. I was going to cut him up into tiny little pieces and bury him under my roses.
I clenched my fists, ready to punch this douchebag in the face when a warm hand touched the middle of my back.
I glanced over my shoulder to see Leo standing there with a polite smile on his face as he offered his hand to my neighbor.
“I’m Leo.” He said and the neighbor switched off the bike, looking at Leo with interest as he took his hand.
“Hamish.”

Leo
“Hamish.” The man said as he gripped my hand. He squeezed it just a little too firmly and that was when I knew without a doubt that he saw me as competition.
Katerina glared between us, her hair a crazy halo of blonde around her face, her jaw tense as she stared at Hamish.
She looked adorable, not that I was going to tell her that because she also looked a little stabby, and knowing what I did about her now, I knew she had it in her to kill the guy.
“Nice to meet you, Hamish. Nice bike.” I said and he grinned.
“Thanks. Are you the boyfriend?” He asked and I had to give it to the guy, he was bold as hell and straight to the point.
“I’m the bodyguard,” I said, earning myself a wide-eyed glance from Katerina.
She didn’t know it yet, but I was determined to become exactly that. I lost my sister to the crime that happened in IndustrialPark and the second I had seen Katerina, every memory of her came flooding back to me.
I wasn’t about to let this woman walk alone and I got the impression she didn’t have anyone she could trust at her back right now.
“Hmm. Well with an attitude like Prickles here, I don’t think she needs a bodyguard. Though I can see the appeal.” He added, his eyes roaming over the entire length of her body.
I bristled at that, not liking that he saw her as something to fuck.
She smiled sweetly, leaning towards him. Her dressing gown slipped from her shoulder and his eyes caught on her bare skin.
“You will be the one who needs a bodyguard, asshole.” She said before turning away.
Hamish laughed as she walked off, waving at me and grinning at her.
