Page 10 of My Bodyguard Neighbor
His mouth moved to her throat, finding that sensitive spot just below her ear that made her whimper.Holly's head fell back, her hands sliding up to tangle in his hair.
"This is such a bad idea," Jonah murmured against her skin, his tone rough with need.“But I can’t help myself.”
"Funny," Holly managed to gasp as he nibbled her neck."I was thinking the same thing about you."
Then a groan from across the room reminded them both that she had an intruder incapacitated in her house.
Jonah stepped back so abruptly Holly nearly stumbled.But she could see the effort it cost him, could see the way his hands shook slightly as he ran them through his hair.
"We need to get the police back here," he said.
Holly stared at him, her mind reeling from everything that had just happened.
"Yeah.”She sighed. And she needed to keep Jonah at arms’ length.
Chapter Four
The second police interviewwas shorter but no less frustrating.Detective Siegman took one look at the intruder and immediately started making calls to federal agencies.Within an hour, he had been taken into custody Holly had been "strongly encouraged" to find somewhere else to stay.
"I don’t even know where to go," Holly muttered as she threw clothes into an overnight bag.
The police had barely left when her phone rang.
"It's my father."
"You should answer it."
Her father would want explanations, would demand that she come home where he could protect her properly.He'd use this threat as leverage to pull her back into his world, back under his control.But she also knew that ignoring him wasn't an option anymore.Not when people were breaking into her apartment and slashing her tires.
"What are you involved in now?"she answered, proud that her tone came out steady.
“Are you hurt?”
Holly's gaze snapped to Jonah, who had the grace to look slightly guilty."I’m fine. Thanks to the bodyguard you hired."
"I need you to listen to me very carefully.You're in serious danger.I'm sending a car to bring you home."
