cell. “If so, give me a moment, and I’m sure I can find a buyer for the CEO of a…” He looked at Tom. “Fortune 100 company?”
    She gasped as Tom nodded. “You really are a bastard! And how do you propose to help me? So far all you’ve done is piss me off.”
    He left his cell in his pocket. “Pissed off is better than taken or dead, sweetheart. As in help you? Let’s get one thing clear from the outset. I’m not helping you. I don’t work for you. I’m doing this for a mate.”
    He folded his arms and looked down at her. “So this is the plan. We’re going to go up there. You, Tom, and I are going to go through every step of my actions this morning, and he’s going to arrange to fix the fucking big security holes you’ve got here. Which will take time. Until then, you just got a new shadow. I hope you don’t snore.”
    “Snore? You’re not seriously proposing...” She stared at him wide-eyed. Her gaze raked down his body in a swift caress. She cleared her throat and turned to Tom again. “He’s kidding right?”
    Tom shrugged. “He’s British. He doesn’t have a sense of humor.”

    “This is really not the way I expected to spend my day, Tom,” she grumbled.
    “I told you he was the best.”
    Yes, he had. So far she’d found out a few things about Drew. Jerk even had a nice name. Andrew Davidson. He really knew what he was doing when it came to security. Thanks to his sexy accent and habit of looking directly into her eyes as he spoke, she’d been lost in his explanations within thirty seconds, mainly because her mind kept straying from the conversation to play images of him stripping for her. It was not the time for that. She needed to focus on what he wanted to do with the overall safety. He had some great ideas on how to amp up security in her building without calling the damn SWAT team. Why the hell did he have to be such a bastard and hot too?
    Tom held Drew’s bag while they waited for him to change to discuss his new employment. She would have preferred to send him to hell and give Tom another tongue-lashing for hiring a bodyguard against her wishes, but dammit he was right. She did need him. She wasn’t stupid.
    “Was he seriously saying he’ll be with me all the time?” She gulped, thinking of her very girly bedroom. That would not be fun at all.
    “He takes his job seriously,” was all Tom said.
    After a few quiet moments of her daydreaming of Drew getting up close and personal with his guard duties, the door to the bathroom attached to her office opened.
    “Holy shit!” She didn’t realize she said that out loud until Tom tried to cough to hide his laughter.
    Drew was...hot. No, not hot. Panty-dropping gorgeous. What the hell had he done in her bathroom? He’d clearly showered, changed, and shaved, but with all that came a man so sexy she had a hard time keeping her jaw from dropping open.
    He wore a suit like he’d been born in it. And though she’d found the scruffy look sexy, the clean-shaven face allowed her to see his features with a lot more detail. Heck, even his hair moved out of the way to show off piercing eyes. Yeah, wow. To make matters worse, he smiled.
    Could she get away with hiring him for sex? God. When had she stooped so low?
    “Well, I’ve been called both in my time. Not usually at the same time.” He strode toward her, and it was like Tom wasn’t even in the room. Drew stopped a pace away, close enough that she could practically feel the heat of his body, and spread his arms. “So, do I pass muster? Or would you like me to do a twirl as well?”
    She bit down her tongue before she told him to turn so she could check out his butt. Not a good way to start any employee on the job. “You’ll do.” She tried and failed to stop staring him up and down. “So now what? You’re the expert here.” She lifted a brow and licked her lips. “School me.”
    He shot a look at Tom. “She always like this?”
    Tom didn’t say anything, just
