Falling in Love with my Bodyguard

Chapter 3

“Hello,” he said, his voice smooth as butter.

“Hi…”

A slow smirk spread across his face and, at that instant, I knew he was the finest man I had ever seen. The cockiness lurking under his expression made me suspect he knew precisely the kind of effect he was having on me.

“What’s your name?” he asked.

“Maya.”

He extended his hand to me. "Nice to meet you, Maya. I'm Luke. Can I buy you a drink?"

I offered him my hand and he graciously accepted it into his grasp. He brought it up to his mouth and kissed it with his lips that were wonderfully gentle.

"Sure," I responded, feeling a little out of breath already.

Luke's POV

I had anticipated that the night would be uninteresting and boring; nevertheless, the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew that my expectations would not be met.

The week had been hard and exhausting, and although I didn't particularly enjoy going to clubs, I needed something to take my mind off of things for a while. I thought that a few drinks and a few different women would be enough to help me relax before I headed home, but as soon as I saw her, I knew that she alone was what I needed for the night.

I was pleased to see that she was not accompanied by a male companion; instead, she was at the club with a friend who was a fiery and attractive redhead. I noticed both of them the moment they stepped through the door, and despite the fact that they were both lovely, she was the one that caught my attention right away. I really couldn't help but be drawn in by her mysterious appearance, which was accentuated by her long, wavy, jet-black hair and those dark brown eyes.

On the one hand, I was surprised that she hadn't sensed I was staring at her earlier, but on the other hand, I suppose that was for the best. I didn't want to get the impression that I was some sort of creep. Especially after observing the manner in which she shut down the other guy's advances. I was glad she did. Because otherwise I would have had to intervene, things may have gotten a lot worse, and I didn't feel like getting blood on my hands tonight. I did that enough in my day job.

When she finally did notice me though, I could tell the attraction was mutual.

As she stood beside me at the bar, trying to play nonchalant, I knew it was time to make my move. I offered to buy her a drink, and after a brief pause, she accepted my offer.

"So—are you from this area?" I asked as she was drinking her strawberry daiquiri using a straw. When she noticed that I was looking at her lips, she smiled seductively to draw my attention away from them. Oh man, if only those lips could wrap themselves around my c**k, it would be so much more enjoyable for both of us than that straw.

She shook her head in response. “No. I suppose you could say that I'm here for business, sort of."

"Oh yeah? What type of business are you in?"

The playful grin vanished from her face, and she sipped the last of her beverage in silence.

"I'm sorry," I said. "Forget I asked. I came here to get away from the stress of my own job. I understand what you're going through."

"What sort of pressure are you under?"

"Nothing but business." I wouldn't bother her with details or questions about it. "And how do you enjoy Turkey so far?" I asked her while making reference to the club.

Her grin was absolutely radiant. "I love it. Especially when I'm with a handsome guy like you, it makes everything that much better. I'm having a wonderful time.

Nice. This evening was already fantastic, but it was about to get even better. I let my hand wander over hers, noting the goosebumps that appeared on her skin in response to my touch, and then I leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Well, you're not the first person to say that. I can have an effect on ladies. I smiled broadly and gave her a wink before throwing my panty- dropping smile at her. "You are hot yourself. I couldn't take my eyes off you from the moment I saw you".

Her breathing increased, and it just made my blood boil. She smelled so sweet, and I couldn’t resist the urge to move her hair aside and put my lips on her neck, leaving an open-mouthed kiss right over her soft flesh.

She mumbled something under her breath and angled her head to the side, which gave me greater access to her neck. "Luke," she said.

Damn. That was very sexy.

After noticing that she was still holding on to her empty glass, I took it from her and made sure that our hands came into contact with each other while doing so. I moved closer to her and leaned in. "No more conversation. I leaned down close to her ear and murmured, "Let's dance."

She responded by giving me a sly grin. I led her to the dance floor by sliding my hand down her arm until our hands met.

In the corner of my eye, I saw that her friend had successfully returned to the dance floor without being seen. This most likely occurred at some point during the time that we were conversing at the bar. She winked in our direction.

As soon as we found a spot to occupy, Maya smiled, released my hand, and started swaying her hips to the beat. For a moment, all I could do was watch and try to memorize what I saw. It was at that moment that it finally clicked in my head that her apparent shyness had been an act; this woman was a total tease, and she was quite aware of what she was doing. I was a f*****g champ!

She spun around and leaned her back on me. I couldn't get enough of the way her hips moved to the music, so I grabbed hold of them. The more her a** pressed against me, the harder it became to keep my composure, and I knew that at any moment, she would be able to feel it. I kissed her neck and then nipped at the area that was exposed. She was delicious in every way.

As soon as I thought I couldn't take it any longer, she turned around to face me, and put her arms around my neck to the best of her ability, given the difference in our heights. As we continued to dance together, I wrapped my arms around her waist and we began to settle into an easy sway as the next song began.

She began to wiggle her shoulders, and then she leaned backwards, tightening her grip around me as she dipped. All the while, the playful grin that had been absent from her face returned. I was unable to resist the need to press my face into her neck and inhale the intoxicating aroma of her sweet perfume as I bent over and wrapped my arms more tightly around her. Then, a giggle rose from her throat, she lifted one leg and crossed it over my hip. I took one of my hands off of her waist and placed it on the back of her knee, feeling the smooth skin there while our hips moved in unison to the beat.

When we returned upright, her face was flushed and there was a clear sign of hunger in her eyes that was comparable to what I felt.

"What are you going to be doing after you leave this place, Maya?" I asked, bending down once more to speak softly in her ear.

She flashed a grin. "I can't say for sure. Why? Do you have any plans for me?"
