“But you really can’t guarantee my safety, can you?” Sara said.

“That’s right. It’s dangerous, so you can say no,” Levi said.

Sara fiddled with the blanket on her lap and then looked at him. Levi held her eyes, willing her to say no.

“I’ll do it, but I honestly think Kevin isn’t aware of what’s going on. And I’ve never seen a second set of books.”

“I’m going in,” Levi informed King.

His boss nodded with a small smirk working at the corner of his mouth.

“No!” Sara hissed.

“I’m going and that’s not up for debate,” Levi growled right back at her.

“Okay,” King said. “You’ll go in as her bodyguard.”

“Oh, hell no!” Sara glared daggers at him.

“You don’t have a say,” Levi said calmly.

Sara glared at them all before she spat words at him. “Don’t get any ideas. At best, you’ll be a temporary bodyguard.”

“Whatever you need to tell yourself, Princess,” Levi drawled, and her hand came flying out again.

He caught it for the second time and brought it to his lips. She gasped and jerked it away.

“Ass!” she spat.

“That’s enough.” Ana frowned at him, and Levi relented.

It would be effortless to justify being Sara’s bodyguard. Kevin Miller knew that Sara came from money, so spinning a story of how her parents were concerned after her attack would be easy.

But right then, she was pissed and rather than aggravate her further, he stood and took several steps away from Sara.

He needed to keep busy to avoid doing something drastic.

Like yank her from her spot between the girls and kiss her senseless.

King recommended sharing a suite of rooms.

In fact, the man forced the issue so much so that both Sara and Ana finally caved. Carla didn’t seem to mind the move, and Ana had had their suitcases brought over from their previous room.

Finally, Sara was able to escape the sitting room and get behind a closed door.

The room she was sharing with Ana and Carla had two queen beds. The guys would make do with the other room and the fold-out sofa.

They all took turns showering and changing into sleepwear.

Sliding between the covers, Sara sat cross-legged on the bed with the comforter around her waist.

Ana came over to sit on the other side and positioned pillows behind her own back.

“So, what happened when you and Levi talked?” Ana asked.

Carla came over and sat at the foot of the bed, gazing at her.

“Rebecca’s baby is not his and they aren’t together.”
