met before.
    Well, maybe I should do these things more often if they’re this good. Or maybe I should just do him more often…
    She could still feel him inside her. He was the most well-endowed man she’d ever been with. Her pussy had been stretched almost to the point of pain around him. But it hadn’t been a bad pain…more like a really good pain.
    And he was strong. His arms had held her against him as if she was a feather and he didn’t seem to be straining at all.
    The look in his eyes had made her sheath tighten around him, which had made his gaze even hotter.
    Did he think she was a slut? Would he think her even more of a slut if she wanted to do this again soon?
    “Ellie, sweetheart, are you okay?”
    She looked at him and saw no condemnation in his eyes, only desire and concern. It made her want to hold on to this man who’d rescued her.
    Hell yes, she was fine. So fine she wanted to go again.
    But eventually they’d have to get out of bed.
    Her legs were starting to cramp because she’d held them so tightly around his waist. She unlocked her ankles and he slowly pulled out of her then set her on her knees on the bed.

    Antonin rolled down the condom then asked again, “ Are you okay, Ellie?”
    He watched her, his smoky gray eyes narrowed as if he wasn’t sure what she was going to do or how she might react.
    “I’m fine,” she said, coming up with a wobbly smile. She wouldn’t allow her gaze to drop below his chest. She couldn’t… If she did, she was afraid she’d never be able to tear herself away.
    He took a deep breath but when he did, she couldn’t help herself. She watched his hard chest rise and fall. Oh my.
    Sliding off the bed, Antonin walked over to the chest against the wall and discarded the condom in a trash can next to it. Then he pulled on loose cargo pants, not bothering with underwear. He reached into a drawer for a dark blue t-shirt. When he turned back to her, he held out the shirt.
    Ellie took it, pulling it over her head. Then she sat there looking at him, wondering what to do next.
    This wasn’t your typical morning after. She still had so many questions but she needed to talk to Justin first. Needed to find out what exactly was going on that she needed a bodyguard…a bodyguard she’d just had sex with.
    Antonin’s cell phone rang at that moment, startling her so badly she actually screamed, though not very loudly. Jeez, she had to get a grip.
    Checking the caller ID, Antonin handed her the phone, saying, “I think you should take that.”
    “Justin?”
    He nodded.
    Ellie grabbed the phone and answered. “Justin, thank God. Where are you?”
    “Ellie, what’s wrong? I got your message. Why did you call me with Antonin’s phone? Are you okay? Are you hurt? What’s happened?”

    The hard note in her brother’s tone startled her. Justin was the most easygoing, laid-back guy she knew. As a kid, she’d followed her older brother like a puppy and he’d never sent her packing with a harsh word.
    After their father’s death, Justin had thrown himself into college then work and had turned more of his attention to his research. His very strange research.
    “No, I’m not hurt. I’m curious. I, uh, met,” Yeah, that’s a good word for it , Ellie thought, “your friend Antonin today. Tall, dark hair, gray eyes. What’s going on, Justin? What kind of trouble did you get into that you think I need a bodyguard? You have a little explaining to do.”
    “Shit,” her brother grumbled. “Yeah, I guess I do. But I need to do it in person and I can’t get away right now.”
    “Well, why don’t you give me the condensed version because I gotta tell you, I do not like being told I can’t go home—”
    “Whoa, wait. I thought you said you were okay.” Justin’s voice rose. “What happened? Antonin wasn’t supposed to show himself unless something happened.”
    “Well, something happened this morning on my run…”
