Chapter 20: Protect and Serve

Liam: I want you to pack some things, I'm going to take you to my place for a few days.

Willow: I'm not going to hide Liam!

He looks to me with serious intent.

Liam: it's not about hiding it's about me protecting you.

The corners of his lips curl with breath taking lust.

He tucks my hair behind my ears and leans in to whisper with a gruff.

Liam: and it's about me not being able to keep my hands off of you, or my cock out of you.

He slaps my ass and I let out a nervous laugh.

William: Ok, but You need to cover this up if you expect me to be able to do anything!

I smack his chest playfully as I head back into the closet. He growls and snaps his teeth.

Liam: What did you do with my shirt.

Willow: In the dryer.

I walk out of the closet a few minutes later with a packed suit case and stop dead in my tracks as a surge of heat penetrates my core as the sight of Liam snapping his gun holster in place over his tight white shirt excites me. I bite my bottom lip and take a deep breath.

My cheeks burn hot red when he catches me ogling him like a star struck fan girl. He simply snickers as he pulls over his jacket. Like the flash he is standing I front of with an arm around my waist and lips on mine.

Liam: You have a thing for long hard objects.

His breath whispers over my neck.

Willow: Only if it s attaches to you!

He sucks at my neck before grabbing my suit case and leading me o it to the car.

Willow: I need to stop at the gallery.

Liam: I have guys already there everything will be taken care of.

Willow: Liam I need to talk to Erika let he know what's going on.

He looks at me sternly before staring the car

Liam: It's not safe and you can't tell anyone where we're going.

With an even more stern look of my own I glare at Liam.

Willow: I have no idea where you live so I don't know where we're going.

I touch his forearm and turn my stern look into a pout. He shakes his head with a big grin.

Liam: God there is nothing I wouldn't do for you woman.

I run my fingers up to his biceps giving a victorious smile.

Back at the gallery Liam goes over tactics with his men while I pull Erika into my office.

Erika: Oh Willow.

She grabs me and pulls me into a bear hug.

Erika: Why didn't you tell me your ex was this bad. I mean I knew you had a bad marriage but I had no idea. Are you ok hun?

Willow: I'm fine. Are you going to be ok running things while I'm gone?

Erika: Of course. Besides I'll be surrounded by handsome fully locked and loaded men. But seriously are you ok after last night?

Even through the seriousness of everything I can not hide my flushed cheeks and wide smile.

Willow: I am more than ok.

Erika: OMG you and body god!!!

I can't stop from blushing. As I nod my head.

Erika: Well talk about PROTECT AND SERVE.

We both burst out laughing when there's a knock. Liam walks in eyeing us both with curiosity.

Liam: Ladies.

We both giggle like school girls and Liam's cheeks turn slightly red as he clears his throat.

Liam: You ready.

Willow: yeah.

I hug Erika goodbye. As we both simultaneously say to each other to stay safe.
