throw all inhibition to the wind, yank off the towel, and get on with it. They were two very tall, large men standing in her quaint, little bedroom eyeing her like a meal, and she was beginning to imagine being their meal.
Would Gustave’s taut lips, the ones he held in such a firm line the entire time, feel hard or tender against her breast? Johnny with his big, brown eyes and authoritative expression made her toes curl and her mind imagine things she shouldn’t be imagining. Suddenly feeling sexy and feminine but also gullible to their interested expressions, she froze and let her apprehension lead her.
“Go on and get. You’re embarrassing me,” she barely got out before Johnny eyed the set of undergarments Gustave had chosen for her to wear. He looked at them and then back at her, letting his eyes roam over her body. Despite the fact that the large, thick towel covered most of her, she felt exposed by his intense look. Oh yeah, the man definitely knew how to look at a woman and make her feel desirable.
“You’re a beautiful woman, Illeanna, there’s no need to feel embarrassed. We’ll be right outside that door,” Johnny stated, pointing at her as if he could open the door back up at any sign that she was in need of their assistance. Great. How was she supposed to get dressed now? What did he think, that she was going to escape out the sliders and stumble down the flight of stairs to the woods surrounding her home? Flustered, she squinted her eyes at him and tilted her chin toward the door, indicating once again silently for him to get out. With a look of reluctance both he and Gustave left the room.
Illeanna sighed then fell back onto the bed. She raised a hand to cover her eyes and hit the cut on her forehead and temple. She cringed but silently, thank goodness, or her bodyguards would surely storm through the door. She felt another wave of moisture hit her pussy, and her belly tightened with the thought of such sexy, strapping, hot men guarding her body. Damn, she needed to get them out of her house, or she was going to make a fool of herself.
Chapter 3
Angelina arrived at the house just in time to assist with Illeanna’s argument that she didn’t need the men to hover over her. Angelina was bringing over another floral arrangement from one of the neighbors. Mrs. Lively had also made some cookies for Illeanna as well.
“See. I’m fine and now my sister is here so there’s no need to worry,” Illeanna stated.
Angelina smiled. “I’ll take good care of her, plus Angelique, Ellena, and Mikayla are stopping by. They should be here any minute,” Angelina informed them. She could tell by her sister Illeanna’s expression that she needed some space.
“Fine. But you call me, Angelina, immediately if she needs anything and when you leave. I don’t want her here alone,” Johnny stated firmly.
“I promise,” Angelina responded, making an imaginary X across her heart. He gave her a firm look and she swallowed hard. He and his brothers were intimidating to say the least.
Johnny kissed Illeanna on the cheek and then Angelina before he left.
“My God, woman, he is in such a huff. He must really care about you,” Angelina stated as Illeanna exhaled then leaned back into the couch cushion she was sitting on. Angelina walked closer.
“So you should see how good the construction is coming along for Secret Pleasures. It looks great and Armand and Remi said they’re making great progress.”
Illeanna sat up and smiled. That seemed to put some happiness back into her sister’s demeanor.
“Really? I’d love to go see it. It would be great to take a visit into town and see the others. Are they really coming over tonight because I’m kind of feeling tired?”
“No, they’re not coming over unless you want me to call them. I figured it looked like you needed a break from your bodyguard.”
“Bodyguards! They are all relentless. Maybe tomorrow you can come pick me up and we can go into town
