“Have you ever thought of Enclave?”
“Enclave? Where the Old Western town is?”
Lilianna suddenly remembered something. She knew that Hunter had looked familiar. He worked at the Old West Town in Enclave. She’d seen a picture of him on the Internet. Catching his gaze in the rearview again, she said, “I thought I recognized you back there. Don’t you have a woodworking shop or something there?”
Hunter nodded. “I do.” Remembering where she’d seen him before made Lilianna relieved to be secure in their protective care. Serial killers didn’t have fan web pages on the Internet, did they?
“So you’re a woodcarver and also a bodyguard? What an interesting life you must lead.”
One corner of Hunter’s mouth lifted in his signature half smirk, then his focus went back to the road.
She put her hand on top of Dylan’s knuckles where they rested near her knee. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed the back of her fingers. The gesture was so unexpected and romantic, she choked up for a moment as she watched his lips caress her skin.
Clearing her throat, she shifted in her seat moving nearer. She rested her head on his wide shoulder and stared out the front window of their vehicle, watching the lonely ribbon of highway speed by as they drove along. Before she realized what happened, she’d managed to doze off.
She woke an undetermined time later when the motion of the vehicle stopped. She shot up in a panic, sucking in a deep breath of surprise and said, “Holy hell! Where am I?”
Dylan smiled and reached out to put a calming hand on her shoulder. “We’re at our home.”
She looked out the front window at the corner of a large, very beautiful stone house. “Did I fall asleep?” There was nothing so panic inducing as realizing one’s folly at falling asleep, and promptly leaving oneself vulnerable to complete strangers for an undetermined length of time.
“You did, but it was just a little nap. And can I just mention that you’re very adorable when you sleep?”
Her brows furrowed. “I’m not going to find any videos on the Internet of me snoring with my mouth wide open, am I?”
Dylan laughed. “Nope. Didn’t think of it. Maybe next time.”
Hunter exited the front and opened her door. He promptly reached in a hand and helped her out of the tall vehicle. He closed the door and crowded her against the back quarter panel. The amused smirk appeared. “Before we go inside. I wanted to alleviate any fears you might have.”
She stared into his luscious eyes. “I’m not afraid of you. I sense that you would take a stake to the chest in order to keep me safe. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting.”
He nodded. The smirk flashed quickly, and he added, “That’s accurate.”
“Not to mention the way you brought down three guys barring our way to your car as we left the tavern. That was very impressive.”
“I want you to know that I don’t knock down threatening guys in bar parking lots for just anyone.” One side of his sensual mouth lifted again. That cocky smirk did her in every single time.
She’d yet to see his teeth when he only barely smiled. But it didn’t matter because he was mysterious and handsome without ever laughing. She expected he’d break hearts in three counties if he grinned. And he was protecting her. Hard not to fall completely head over heels for a guy like this.
Lilianna’s heart took the opportunity of his close proximity and flipped over in her chest. She wanted him. She slung her arm around his neck and pressed her lips to his with a passion she wasn’t often willing to share.
The kiss they’d had just outside of the bar hadn’t lasted long enough. This time she planned to take as much time as she needed for her personal satisfaction. Hunter’s tongue licked between her lips, swirling expertly in her mouth. He tasted like safety or lust or a healthy combination of both.
His hips pressed forward and she felt his cock nudge her belly. She wrapped one leg around the back of his thigh to keep him from getting away. Although, it didn’t seem like he planned to go anywhere soon.
“Let’s get out of the cold,” Dylan said from the other side of the vehicle. “You two can continue this sexy lip-lock inside.”
