Keep Her From Harm (The Denton Family Legacy 4)

She leaned back and groaned, gripping her shoulders. “I’ve gone all stiff.”

You’re not the only one, princess.

“Here, let me help.” He moved behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders, and began to massage them. Hearing her moan was reward enough. One day soon, you’re going to be moaning like that around my dick. Begging me to keep on fucking you as I spank your ass.

Damian was once a kinky bastard, but that was just a phase he was going through. There was nothing kinky about his little brother. Gideon rubbed her shoulders, and loved the peace that washed over him from touching her.

“That fe

els so good, Damian. You’re always so nice to me.”

“What are your plans for this evening?”

“Oh, shoot, I’m supposed to be going on a date,” she said, pulling out her cell phone, and showing him. “Brian, one of the guards asked me out on a date.”

He was aware of who had asked her out seeing as he’d been the one to ask Brian to do it. Everything had been going to shit, and even though he didn’t like the thought of Emma being with anyone else, he couldn’t make her wait for him. She would be his soon enough, and Brian was a good little soldier. He would give Emma the time of her life, but also make sure that she understood it was friendship only. “You’re not wanting to go?”

“Not really. I feel bad though. I really should go, right?”

“You can do whatever you want to do. Nothing is holding you to anything, and if you don’t want to go, then I’ll take you home.”

She flopped back, and he held his hands on her shoulders even as he was at the perfect angle to see her beautiful, plump breasts. Emma was a curvy woman, and she handled her curves well. If someone told her to go on a diet, she told them to fuck off. He loved her spirit, and she never seemed to need to please everyone else. She took pleasure as much as she gave it. She was hard working, and there wasn’t a thing he didn’t like about her. She was everything, and one day soon she would totally belong to him in every single way.

“I’ll go. It’s rude not to. I was looking forward to it, and then I started to freak out.”

“Why would you freak out?”

“What if he wants something? This is just a date, you know. This isn’t like coffee and sex afterward. I’ve not been on a real date before, and I wanted to. Then of course Wyatt, Owen, and even Gabriel were here earlier, and they were giving me all these warnings that included coffee meant sex. Dancing meant something dirty, and ugh, they’ve filled my brain with crap.”

Her brothers were his best friends right now. Even though he’d arranged everything, he liked that her brothers cared about her. She wouldn’t be alone on her date tonight either. He was going to follow, and keep a safe distance to make sure she was happy and to beat the shit out of Brian if she wasn’t.

Touching her cheek, he smiled her, loving the way she seemed to gasp at his touch. She wasn’t frightened of him, and for that he was thankful.

“I think your brothers worry about you. They want you to be safe and happy, as do I.”

“Thank you, Gideon. Really, for everything.”

“Also, if you kick a guy in the nuts, they tend to fall down, moaning a lot.” He reluctantly pulled away. “I need to go and finish a few things. Don’t work too hard.”

“I won’t. Thank you, Gideon. I love it when you come to visit.”

He left the office, and made his way down to changing room where he found Brian all alone.

The other man froze. “I’m just heading up to see her now.”

“If for a second tonight that woman is not having a good time, I will hold you responsible. You do not kiss her, or hug her, or touch her in any way that will have her worried about what your intentions are, do I make myself clear?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Well go, and have a good time.”

Gideon knew he scared Brian, and he didn’t give a fuck either. All that mattered was Emma, and right now he was okay with her seeing the world, and meeting people. One day soon though, she was going to be his, and when that happened, no one stood a chance.

Rick looked at the rundown apartment building, and whistled at how low Westbrook had sunk. He’d known where the sniveling little shit had been all this time, but he’d wanted to break the bastard. To prove to the man that no matter how much he thought he had the Dentons, there was no way he would ever take what was theirs.

“I miss you, Rick,” Mandy said. “So I booked a flight, and I want to be there with you.”
