Willow went home twenty minutes ago, so it’s only the two of us now. I just finished giving him the full tour of the house–showing him where the security room is, the placement of all the cameras, and how he has screens in his room aswell.
He stayed quiet while filling out his paperwork and signing all of the non-disclosures. I thought maybe he’d open up when she left, but he’s still giving me the coldshoulder.
He’s more intense than his brother. With Dallas, I immediately felt comfortable. He cracked jokes, shared stories about his family, and was an open book. Hudson is distant, glowering, and humorless. He’s locked up with what seems like nokey.
“Shoot,” I answer. It’s about damn time he seemed interested insomething.
He runs his hand through his hair. “I should’ve asked this earlier.” He pauses and looks around. “What exactly are my duties here? What do I do allday?”
“Like Willow said, be prepared to spend time with me,a lotof time with me. You’ll accompany me everywhere I go. You’ll also travel with me and stay here when I’mhome.”
His face shifts into a more guarded expression with my last statement. I can tell Dallas failed to inform him on that tidbit ofinformation.
I shrug. “I like to feelsafe.”
“I’ll do my best to keep you that way.” He leans against the doorframe and crosses his arms. “Have you ever had anysituations?”
“Stalkerwise?”
Henods.
“Yeah, a few. Most of them were with my old bodyguard. It became less frequent when I hired your brother. He did a good job of scaring the creeps off. Luckily, they never made it close enough to do anydamage.”
I’m not sure if his brother told him everything about what this job entails. I’ve been stalked, harassed, and even sent death threats. I do what I love, but that doesn’t mean it’s alwayssafe.
Chapter 4
Hudson
“What the fuck,Dallas? I’m living with this chick?” I hiss as soon as he answers mycall.
I want to shove my foot up his ass. It was stupid of me not to ask more questions before hopping my dumbass on a plane to some unknownjob.
He chuckles. “I see you made it safe and sound. How was yourflight?”
“Shitty. I gave away my first class ticket to some pregnant gal who needed it more than I did. Now answer my question. What the fuck did you get meinto?”
I figured I’d be crashing at a hotel, not herhouse.
“Of course, you stay there. That’s what I did when Lucy moved backhome.”
The only reason Dallas took this job was because Lucy wanted to spread her wings and get a taste of life out of Blue Beech. Life wasn’t what she imagined here, so she moved back after getting pregnant with Maven. They somehow managed to keep a long distance relationship sincethen.
No, Ididn’t.
Shows how much Iknew.
“Lucy was cool withthat?”
“I hope you’re not asking what I think you are. I never fucked around with Stella. I’m a married man. I had the love of my life, so there was no need for anyone else. Strictly platonic between the two ofus.”
“How beautiful,” Imutter.
“I got you a kickass job with great pay. A thank you would benice.”
“Thanks,” I grumble. “So what exactly am I supposed to do here? Hang out with this chick all day and night? I’ll go fuckingnuts.”
“It’s not all day and night. If you need time off to do something, ask her. You’ll be spending the next week attending promotional events and screenings for her new movie. Your lucky ass gets to travel and stay in the nicest hotels for free. Quit bitching and enjoyit.”
