[Once a SEAL, Always a SEAL 05] • My Protector

**He’ll do anything to protect her

But stealing her away was the easy part

Him:**

I was hired to protect her, but first I had to kidnap her.

I’m a professional; I need to maintain the boundaries,

But keeping my distance is getting harder by the hour.

She doesn’t believe me, and I don’t blame her.

She says I don’t need to restrain her; I can trust her not to run away.

Well thank God for that, cause the image of her in handcuffs is the last thing I need.

I’ll take a bullet for her

But can I resist her?

**Her:**

He tells me I should trust him, that he’s the only thing standing between me and the real bad guys…

Joel Rust,

Ex-Navy SEAL with a delicious body

Are you my captor, or my savior?
