My Protective Boss
HIL
When I pulled into Snowy Falls, there was nothing about it that made me want to stay. It’s a beautiful small town, but if you stop running, your problems have a way of catching up with you.
I have a lot of problems. But that doesn’t mean that when tragedy strikes, I’m not going to stay and help.
…And my staying now has nothing to do with the person needing help being a chiseled football player with brooding eyes, dimples and an endless desire to protect me… and that one of the purposes of my trip is to rid this way too curvy girl of her v-card.
‘Sigh.’
Maybe he’ll be the one. And if I get his rippling, jock body wrapped around me, it will totally be worth the heart break that will follow when he finds out who I am and what I’ve done. Right?
CALI
You know how some people are rays of sunshine that light up a room? That’s Hil. Man, it’s annoying. Annoying or not, it’s not like I can refuse her offer of help if I want to stay in university, or on the football team.
It’s not that she’s hard to look at. That curvy girl makes me think dirty thoughts.
And, it's not like she isn’t the sweetest, kindest girl I’ve ever met…
Wait, am I falling for the stranger who showed up out of nowhere wanting to fix my life?
There’s a reason I like to keep to myself. And as hot as Hil is, I’m not sure my heart can take being hurt again.
Reaching down, she took my hand. Her warm flesh against mine sent a tingle that rippled through me. I wanted her. I'd never been more turned on in my life. But I also wanted to respect her. I didn't want to do anything that she wasn't ready for.
Because of that, I reeled in my desire. It nearly broke me, but I did. Still holding her hand, we entered the room. It was weird seeing Hil’s stuff scattered around my familiar space. I liked it. I couldn't have guessed how much.
“Do you have to head back to campus in the morning?” Hil asked as she hovered around her travel bag.
“Yeah. But I’ll be back early to help Mama settle in.”
“I'll make waffles.”
“I would like that. I think Mama would enjoy that too,” I said, starting to relax. “We should probably head to bed. I'm thinking it's going to be a long day tomorrow.”
“Of course,” she said nervously.
Seeing how nervous she was only made me want her more. I wanted to hold and take care of her. I wanted to protect her. And whether or not I admitted it, I wanted to slowly push into her, listening to her light moans as I did.
I turned away when I began to throb. I didn't know how I was going to do this. It was taking everything in me not to race across the room, scoop her into my arms, and throw her onto the bed.
“What's the matter?” she asked, lightly wrapping her fingers around my bicep from behind.
I could feel her body heat. My heart thumped needing her. Did she know what she was doing to me? She couldn't consider what it might unleash.
