I look down sheepishly. “I know. But I just wanted to have some fun.”
He furrows his brows, “Fun without a guard cannot be on your agenda, Sidney. Who was on duty, by the way?”
“Ummm.”
“Tell me. Just to confirm. I’ve already checked the roster, so you know.”
I sigh. “It’s not his fault.”
“A name.”
“Ben.”
“Thank you.”
“Please don’t fire him,” I mumble.
“That’s not your shot to call, baby. Now, tell me what happened. Was it Spike?”
I take a deep breath and lay my head on his chest again. I close my eyes.
“Sidney? Talk to me, sweetheart. Was it Spike? What did he do?”
“It was. He had a gun this time. He alluded to taking his payment in ‘other ways’.”
“Did he touch you inappropriately?”
“Yes.”
“What did he do?”
“He kissed me. And he-he pressed himself against me.”
I hear him take a deep breath and exhale above my head. He shifts and places one arm behind his head as he looks up at the ceiling again. I reach up to stroke his cheek and he looks at me.
“I’m sorry, Archer. I understand now why you have me guarded around the clock. I never thought that being unguarded this one time would put me in danger,” I apologize.
“Guys like Spike don’t give up, Sidney. I had security as tight as it was because I’ve tangled with him before and know what he’s capable of, and without remorse too.”
“I’m sorry.”
He strokes my arm. “That’s okay. We’re going to fix it. You’re moving in with me.”
I sit up and look at him. “I’m what?”
He strokes the side of my breast. “You’re moving in with me.”
“The hell I am. Archer, do you know how that would look?” I frown.
“How would that look to whom?”
“Everyone.”
“Everyone who?”
“Everyone at work is going to know we’re living together.”
“And why would that matter?”
