“Yikes. Nothing like academic extortion.” She shakes her head. “Did you lose your temper with him physically?”
“Yeah, but luckily for Carl, my fist went through his wall and not his face.”
“Lucky for him indeed, but look at this.” Lana points to the monitor, showing a woman walking by the security guard at the front desk. “That’s her. That’s the woman I saw. That security guard is shitty at his job. I think the entire security staff should be questioned. Why do they just let anyone come and go?”
“Because the more money you have, the more freedom they give you. The parents and guardians complain about annoying security protocols, like showing their ID. The staff should know everyone coming in and out of the building since there’s only two hundred students at the school.”
“Money only goes so far.” She sighs. “Can you get Mr. Drummond to send you that woman’s employee records? And how’s your security at home?”
“It might be better if you see it for yourself.”
“Is there somewhere Jeremy can stay for tonight at least? With one thwarted attempt, they might try again. I want to be sure your car isn’t being tracked and that they’re not hacking into your system at home.”
“I’ll have my mother come get him.” Curiosity pricks at me. “What would you do?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you were Jeremy’s bodyguard and this morning happened. You stopped the kidnap attempt and are now reviewing the footage. What would be your next move if you already had the job?”
“If I’m being honest, Aiden, the way I felt about my last client ... The way Jeremy clung to my arm after I saved him, I’d probably have my team find these people and then handle them myself. No police. No bodies.” She sucks her bottom lip, her gaze narrowing. “I’m not just strong, Aiden. I’m lethal.”

“Lethal is useful,” Aiden says, “but I’m hoping it will never go that far when my son is involved.”
“Of course not. No one ever hopes for death when children are involved. I just wanted you to know I could take care of whatever comes our way. I won’t hesitate.”
He grins. “I know you won’t. You handled yourself and, uh, me very well.”
“That’s not going to interfere with my job, is it?”
Yes. It’s stupid to fuck your potential boss on his desk before the interview’s even over, but Aiden has this charisma about him. He gets what he wants. He gets who he wants. Power like that draws me to him. But how he answers my question will determine if I stay drawn to him.
“No, it won’t.”
“I think I have a better idea.”
He raises that sexy eyebrow of his, those light blue eyes hypnotizing me into a speechless trance. An immediate replay of his cock driving in and out of me has my nipples hardening and walls clenching for another round. Fortunately, I’m able to snap myself out of it.
“I’m listening.” He smirks, the corner of his mouth tipping up.
“Instead of hiring me full-time, what if we make this a contract position?” I suggest, and he leans back into his chair, pressing his fingertips together as he thinks it over. The silence urges me to continue. “Your connections and referral would allow me to do security for anyone, private or corporate.”
“And if you’re only a temporary employee...” He nods that he understands where I’m going.
I finish the statement for him. “Then you can fuck me from here to Belize and back without it affecting my work for you. Once we resolve this kidnapping issue and I get a team in place, we can pick up where we left off. If that’s what you want.”
“That’s what I want. I can’t put my finger on it, Lana—”
“Well, you’ve put your finger in it, Aiden.”
He chuckles. “I’ll do even more if you keep taunting me with that mouth of yours.”
“Promises, promises.” I laugh as his phone rings.
Aiden takes the call and isn’t on the phone long before he hangs up. “That would be my mother coming to get Jeremy. Would you like to meet her?”
My pulse races. “Sure. If I’m going to be handling your new security detail, she should know who I am and expect to see me around.”
“She’s going to do more than just see you around if I have my way,” he says with a wink.
Aiden gets out of his seat, rounding his desk and stopping beside my chair with his hand out. I oblige and let my hand slide into his palm so he could help me out of my seat. For every pound of weight that I can toss around, Aiden’s treating me like it doesn’t matter. Gentle even after the pummeling of my pussy that I’ll replay in my mind while fingering myself to sleep.
Just outside the door, I hear young Jeremy shouting with joy. “Nan, you should have seen her. She ran up and tackled the lady, grabbed me like a football, and saved me like a real superhero. Then Dad showed up, and we’re going to get pizza.”
