Her Bodyguard: A BBW Billionairess Romance Read Online Free

letting heat fill his eyes for a second. “…firmer hand, shall we say?”
    Steeling his expression, he reached out and plucked the magazine from her hand, turning it to show her the contents.
    “Rubber bullets, sweetheart.” He kept his voice hard, his expression moreso. She needed to know just how much danger she was in. “One man took your building, took you , with nothing more than smoke grenades and rubber bullets. No casualties apart from some bruises and wounded pride.”
    Her eyes widened as she looked at the bullets, but the sassy expression was still there. He resisted the urge to smile. Stubborn woman. He had to break her, or someone was going to take her.
    “Tom brought me in to test your security, and, well, to say it failed is an understatement, isn’t it?”
    He flicked a glance at Tom, who looked a little shamefaced. As he should.
    “In fact, it was fucking balls-up from beginning to end. I shouldn’t have gotten past the lobby. I certainly shouldn’t have gotten up six floors, onto the primary level, and been able to take you without some form of challenge other than a couple of rent-a-cops who couldn’t find their own arses if you drew them a fucking map .”
    He paused, aware that his voice had risen. The men around Tom refused to meet his gaze.
    “You’re Tom’s Special Ops guy,” she breathed, looking from Tom back to him. “The one he wanted me to meet. He said you were top-of-the-line.”
    As he watched, she marshalled her defenses and glared at him. “Which means that only someone like you could get in. Our security is good.”
    Drew blinked, surprise rolling through him, quickly followed by irritation. “You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me, lady.”
    He threw an is-she-serious? look at Tom, then looked back at her.
    “Yeah. I’m good. I’m the fucking dogs. But get this…”
    He crowded her personal space, almost hoping she did take a shot at him. Since he’d yanked her against him to march her across the car park, his body had been itching for the feel of hers against him again.
    “I. Can. Be. Bought.” He paused to let that sink in. “So can others. And you can be damn fucking sure they aren’t gonna hit this place with rubber bullets or stop before they get you out of here.”
    He shoved his face closer to hers, knowing he was scaring her and well past caring.
    “And just in case you think we’re talking about normal people here. We’re not. They won’t care about you. You’re a paycheck. As long as you get returned breathing, everything else is secondary.” He added a leer. “I sure hope you like cock, sweetheart, because if you get taken, they’ll fuck you in every hole you’ve got.”
    Tom stepped forward. “Dav, that’s a bit str—”
    “Shut the fuck up, Tom.” Drew turned his head to snap. “She needs to hear this. She needs to know what these people will do to her. And…” He turned his head to glare down at her. “While we’re at it, just think about the men who’ll die to protect you, when you’re being a selfish bitch and insisting you don’t need my advice. Men with families who won’t go home again, because you think you’re fucking superwoman.”
    “You...asshole.” Tears filled her eyes. She obviously hadn’t thought about that. “That was low, even for a jerk.”
    His lips compressed. “No sweetheart, I’m a bastard. There’s a difference. And believe me, I’ll go lower if it gets the message through to you.”
    “Well, what the hell do you suggest I do then?” She turned to glare at Tom. “You brought him in to help? Was scaring the shit out of me part of the process, or does he only do that for fun?”
    “Scaring you, sweetheart, was necessary.” He eased away, gave her some space to breathe. “From what I hear, Tom’s been telling you this could happen. Better it happens with me than someone who wants to take you for real. Or perhaps you’d have preferred me to be the real deal?”
    He reached in his pocket for his
