“Are you able to take care of her while being involved with her like that?”

“There’s nothing to take care of. So far, nothing’s happened.” I didn’t mention the incident on the beach. It had no place here. “Nobody follows her. She hasn’t been contacted. Nothing.”

Jake leaned forward, his eyes holding mine. “I don’t think you’d do anything that would intentionally endanger anybody, but sex has a way of clouding things,” he said softly.

Shit. He didn’t have to tellmethat.

A sex-hazed fog seemed to surround my thoughts most days, and when I wasn’t thinking about getting Mila naked, I was counting down the time until it was appropriate to get her naked. Otherwise, I was busy getting her naked.

“What are you going to do when this job is over? Keep on seeing her?”

I glanced at my cousin and shook my head. “I can’t even say we’reseeingeach other now. We’re sleeping together. That’s it.” I pondered his question for a moment, then exhaled a long breath. “And hell, I have no idea what’s going to happen once I’m no longer needed as her bodyguard.”

It wasn’t something I wanted to think about either.
