HER BODYGUARD

He took her hand in his and squeezed her fingers. “Kimberly, are you telling the truth? Do you really love me? Because if you don’t, I can’t make it. You are my world. This is killing me”

She leaned forward and pulled him close. Then he was on the bed and they were kissing as if they had a lifetime to make up for.

“Of course I love you” she whispered as she pressed her mouth against his lips, his cheeks, his chin. “I have been calling every week, trying to tell you”

“I know. James recorded the calls and forwarded them to me. I couldn’t stand listening to them and I couldn’t stop playing them over and over. I needed it all to me true, even as I told myself it couldn’t be”

“Stubborn man” she said contentedly. “Do you believe me now?”Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“I have to. I need to be with you” he touched her face. “I believe you. I love you, Kimberly. I don’t deserve you and you can do a hell of a lot better than me, but I still love you. Marry me. I will spend the rest of my life taking care of you. I love you with every part of myself. For always”

The happiness filling her was as tangible as the blood in her body. “How do you feel about children?” she asked.

He blinked at her. “I like kids,” he said. “I want to have kids with you”

“Good” she said

She took his hand and slid it under the thick comforter to her stomach. He moved over the roundness of her belly, then stared at her.

“You are pregnant?” he asked.

She nodded. “I wanted to tell you before, but you weren’t taking my calls,” she said.

He swore under his breath. “That’s what you had to tell me a few weeks ago. The thing you said was important”

“Exactly. I didn’t want to have that first emotional exchange with James. I mean I like the guy and all, but he’s not my type. I seem to be a one man woman. You are stuck with me, big guy. Guess you are going to have to get used to it.

Asher didn’t know what combination of events had brought him to this moment or why Kimberly cared about him. But here he was with her, with a baby on the way and a future filled with promise.

He began to laugh. She joined in and they clung to each other.

“I’m so happy about the baby,” he said.

She grinned. “I got that. I’m happy too. Now we just need a dog” she said.

“And a house”

“Good idea”

“I need a less dangerous job” he said.

“I agree”

He kissed her, then smiled. “I proposed,” he said.

“Yes, you did”

“You didn’t answer”

“Oh. Sorry. I meant to” she pulled him close. “Yes, I will marry you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you”

“Living happily ever after”

“Do you think that’s likely” she asked.

He stared into her eyes and saw all the happy days ahead. “Absolutely,” he said.
