Page 67 of Her Daddies' Everything

“Sir, can you step to the side?”

She turned to find one of the TSA officers speaking to Tobias. The others had already gone through the screening process and were collecting their carry-on. So it was just her and Tobias left.

“Why does he have to step to the side?” she asked as Tobias looked at the officer coldly.

“Because he does, ma’am,” the TSA officer said sternly. “Now, you can wait over there or you can come back for a chat too.”

“Is there a problem here?”

Relief filled her as she heard Jenner’s voice. Immy hated flying. Not because she was scared of planes or thought something might happen to her. It was all the stress in the airport that got to her.

TSA officers could be scary.

“No problem, Mr. Knight. We just need to speak to Mr. Smith.” He said Tobias’s name like it was dirty.

“That’s all good. But you should know that Tobias is one of my bodyguards, so I hope this won’t take long.”

Jenner was smiling as he spoke, but there was an unmistakable thread of steel in his voice. He was making it clear that Tobias meant something to him. And relief filled her.

“Right. Come this way, Mr. Smith.” There was less derision in the officer’s voice this time.

“Immy, stay with Jenner and Sampson,” Tobias told her.

She nodded as Jenner took her hand and led her back toward where Lauren and their escort through the airport waited. The rest of the band were flying out that evening.

“What’s going on?” Lauren asked. “What’s the hold-up?”

“They need to speak to Tobias for a moment,” Immy explained.

“Oh. Is that all? Well, he can catch up to us. Let’s go to the private room and I’m sure he’ll find us.”

“We can’t do that,” Immy protested.

“Jenner needs to get away from this crowd,” Lauren stated, looking impatient.

“We’ll wait for Tobias,” Jenner told Lauren. “I don’t like the way that officer was looking at him. I want him to know he has our support.”

“But, Jenner,” Lauren said with a smile that was completely fake. “You really don’t want to get accosted by people, do you?”

“I don’t really think that people wanting an autograph or photo with me is the same as being accosted,” Jenner told Lauren.

Wow. The other woman didn’t look happy. But Immy was glad they were waiting for Tobias.

Although she did get Lauren’s point.

“I can wait here for him while you all go on,” Immy offered.

Both men shot her dark looks.

“Not happening,” Sampson said.

“No way,” Jenner said at the same time.

Okay. She was actually kind of relieved. She really did hate airports and she still couldn’t shake that weird feeling.

“I’m sure that Immy is capable of waiting for Tobias on her own,” Lauren said. “And we’re getting close to boarding. After all, it’s not like anyone knows who Immy is, right? Why would they bother her?”

Now both men turned to glare at Lauren.
