4997 Words
After everyone made it out of the office alive, police arrived and were informed of the situation. The seven young men and Mr. Wilson then discussed what to do next. After this attempt on Mr. Wilson's life, the situation became more dangerous. This new job seemed more like the jobs the boys were used to. Now they had to track down an assassin too. The only difference was that this time they had someone to protect. Ethan convinced Mr. Wilson that it wouldn’t be safe to go home to his house. And for Genevieve the same situation applied. She couldn’t go home to her apartment either. Ethan agreed with the other boys that a hotel might be better for now. But nothing in the city. It would be too risky. Noah researches hotels outside of the central area. The better the hotel, the better the security. The reservation had to be made under a fake name and the rooms would be funded by the government, protecting the protention next president. Noah found a good match and booked the rooms. Zack and Isaac headed down to drive their two SUVs to the back entrance of the building. Everyone got into a car. In Zack's car were Noah, Skyler, Tayden and Genevieve . In Isaac's car were Ethan, Matthew, Mr. Wilson and his bodyguard Mr. Yun. The trip to the hotel was silent in both cars. The sky outside darkened as the sun started to set. Dark clouds rolled in and rain started to fall from the sky. The trip was a little over an hour. Zack couldn’t stop himself from glancing at Genevieve in the rear view mirror. She looked sad. Her face was puffy, eyes watery. Zack guessed that she was in shock. The fact that her father had refused to be in the same car as her, for her safety, didn’t help. She needed comfort and there was no one to give it to her. Zack shook it out of his head and focused on the road ahead. He forced himself not to think of her. They arrived at the hotel around dinner time. Everyone waited in their cars underneath the hotel in the parking garage. The hotel manager had been informed of their arrival and their situations. The government had made him and a few of his employees sign the duty of confidentiality papers. Tayden confirmed the manager was already a Wilson supporter, so the probability of him betraying them would be very low. One of the reasons why they picked this hotel was because of this fact. The manager got out of the staff elevator and everyone stepped out of the cars. The manager handed the key cards to Ethan. “5 rooms on the top floor and 5 rooms on the floor right beneath that. Follow me,” the manager said and everyone followed him into the elevator. As the doors closed, Ethan cleared his throat, readying himself to speak. “Skyler, Isaac, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Yun and myself on the second highest floor. With Mr. Wilson in the middle room. The rest of you are on the top floor with Miss Genevieve,” he paused and looked at Genevieve’s small figure in the corner of the elevator. “Genevieve you are in the middle room and Mr. Wilson, your father, requested that Zack stays in a room next to yours. Is that be okay?,” he asked politely. Everyone looked at her as she felt even smaller with all of their eyes on her. Her eyes fell on Zack, who was the only one not looking at her. He looked completely unbothered by the news. “Y-yes it’s fine. Thank you,” she answered hesitantly. “Good. The rest of you can sort out the rooms between yourself,” Ethan said and handed out the key cards. Genevieve made her way to her dad and hugged him tightly. “Shhh. My brave girl. I’m sorry. It’ll all be okay soon,” he comforted her. Zack couldn’t stop himself from looking at them. Feeling a bit relieved that she got the comfort she needed. They reached the second-highest floor and Mr. Wilson let go of Genevieve. “Try to get some sleep and don’t forget to eat something. Order some room service. I’ll probably be in meetings all evening trying to get a hold of what happened today. I’ll see you in the morning Sweetie. I love you very much,” he said and kissed his daughter on the head. She nodded and stepped back as Isaac, Skyler, Mr. Yun and Ethan stepped out of the elevator with him. “Keep your head high, Kiddo,” Mr. Yun said, trying to make Genevieve feel better before the elevator doors closed. “Mr. Yun seems nice. See... Zack tough bodyguards don't have to be as gloomy as you. Maybe you should try it,” Matthew said to Zack. Zack wasn’t paying attention to what he said. His eyes were on Genevieve. He couldn’t tell what she was thinking. Her facial expression was unreadable. They reached the top floor and the doors opened. Genevieve stepped out. “Zack, are you even listening?,” Noah asked and shook Zack's shoulder. Zack’s attention left Genevieve as he groaned, feeling pain in his rib cage. His injury had gotten worse after today’s events. Zack’s eyes fell on Noah with anger in them. “Are you good bro?,” Tayden asked. Zack looked at Tayden and nodded in response. They stepped out of the elevator. “Is it your ribs? Do you need me to take a look?,” Tayden asked, but Zack was yet again not listening. He looked at Genevieve, who was walking tiredly down the empty hotel hallway. The others followed his gaze and looked at her too. They all froze in their steps and watched her. She reached her room and locked herself in with the key card. She just disappeared into the room without saying a word. “I don’t think she is okay. Maybe one of us should go and talk to her,” Matthew said while Tayden and Noah looked at him confused. They noticed Zack hadn’t moved from his spot, still looking at the door to her room. “Za...,” Matthew started talking but was cut off. “It’s not our job...,” Zack said coldly. He started walking towards her room. The others looked confused after him. “Then where are you going?,” Noah asked, confused. As Zack reached her door he looked at the others. “My job,” he said even more coldly. Still looking at them he knocked on her door. Shortly after she opened it. Zack was still looking at the other three. They all looked very confused. “I need to check if your room is safe Miss Genevieve,” he said, staring the others down. As he said that Tayden, Noah and Matthew nodded in understanding as they now understood what he meant by ‘doing their job’. They turned on their heels and walked to their rooms. Zack finally looked down at Genevieve. His eyes couldn’t help but follow the tear running down her cheek. He decided to stay unfazed by the fact that she was crying. He just walked past her and started checking her room. She followed behind him. She placed herself in the corner of the room hugging herself. She didn’t know what to think or what to do. She was still scared and confused, she knew that much. She finally came to her senses when Zack had a hard time getting up from the floor after checking under the bed. She forgot about her own worries and went to his side to help him up. He held one hand to his rib cage and groaned in pain as Genevieve helped him sit on the bed. “Are you hurt? How can I help?,” she asked worriedly as she looked at his hand on his rib cage. She slowly lifted her own hand up to his and ran her fingertips caressing over his hand. “Is it my fault after I landed on you earlier?,” she panicked a bit and looked up at his eyes. She was shocked to see he was already looking at her. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?,” she asked, blushing a bit. He looked away and cleared his throat. “Nothing... the room is safe,” he just said coldly and tried to stand up but Genevieve stopped him. “No wait you are hurt,” she said softly and looked into his eyes. A little gentle smile appeared on her lips and he couldn’t help but notice. His eyes softened a bit. “You need medical attention Zack,” she said gently as she moved a bit closer to him. “Can I see?,” she asked gently and slowly removed his hand from his hold on his ribs. She held his large hand in her small one, caressing it. “I... I..,” he tried to speak but the words wouldn’t come out. “Shhh it’s okay. I just want to help,” she said with a gentle smile. He was mesmerised by her beautiful face. He laid a bit back on the bed and let her lift up his shirt slowly. From this angle he could tilt his head and get a better look at her body. She was stunning. The tight jeans hugged her legs and ass perfectly. She was not too skinny. The white blouse buttoned down just enough so he could see a bit of cleavage. He bit his lower lip watching her crawl onto the bed to get better access to look at his ribs. He looked at her as she slowly lifted up his shirt. He could feel her fingertips just slightly touching his bare skin on his stomach. Her fingertips were slightly cold making him tighten his muscles in his stomach. His abs became even more visible by doing so. Her touch made his breathing heavier. He could feel his already tight jeans getting tighter as he could feel himself getting turned on. “Oh my... Zack, this looks bad,” she said and he snapped back to reality. He looked up at her expression. She looked horrified, taking her hand back from the hold on his shirt and placing it in front of her mouth in shock. Her eyes wouldn’t leave Zack's rib cage. It was almost dark purple all the way down the right side of his body. From the top of his jeans all the way up to when she had stopped lifting his shirt up. He must be in so much pain. He must have been in so much pain all day. She couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. She knew from the looks of it that this wasn’t her fault. She couldn’t have caused this. But she might have made it worse from laying on top of him earlier. She was startled when he pushed her back and stood up. With his back to her he cleared his throat. “I don’t need your help,” he said in a low husky voice. She looked confused at his back. “But...,” she started. But Zack turned around looking her dead in the eye. “I don’t want your help,” he almost growled at her. She got startled by his tone and crawled further away from him on the bed, as she became a bit scared of him. He looked away as soon as he saw the fear in her eyes. He stormed out of the room as Genevieve yelled after him. “Why do you have to be such a jerk!” A few days passed and things had calmed down a bit. The guys all agreed that it would be best to stay at the hotel for now. Mr. Wilson had been moved to the presidential suite on the top floor with Mr. Yun. The guys used it as headcounters as they tried to figure out who had been behind the assassination attempt on Mr. Wilson. It had been decided that it was okay for Genevieve to go back to school. But under one condition. Zack had to go with her, assigned to be her bodyguard by Mr. Wilson and Ethan. Today was the first day she was going back to law school. Zack and her hadn’t talked much since the first night when he had stormed out of her room. He had been to the doctor and was drained of some of the inflamed blood around his bruised rib. He felt better. It still hurt, but it was way better. Zack was waiting by his car for Genevieve to take her to school and after that, to her apartment to get some of her stuff. These past few days she has had to live with what the boys provided her with. Tayden with little help from Zack, shopped for the things Genevieve would need. Tayden had the most fun picking out underwear for her. It seemed to be the only time on the shopping trip where Zack actually paid attention. The women working in the shop loved having the two young handsome men in their shop. Zack had picked out a black lace set and Tayden, a white one. The whole time Zack had ignored the employees and was lost in thought, imagining how Genevieve with her sexy figure would look in the lace sets. To be honest he would like to see her in the white one. She would look like an angel. He pictured her in it while he remembered her beautiful caring smile. Standing by the car with his hands in his pockets he couldn’t get the imagined picture out of his head. He was confused as to why he was so attracted to her. She was far from what he normally found attractive. Besides he had been with way sexier women before. Models and such. She seemed too innocent yet bossy. Way too independent and clever for her own good. He didn’t like that. It was annoying and yet he couldn’t stop imagining touching her bare skin, stripped of all her clothes. His fantasy had even gone as far as imagining her under him as he kissed her lips, filling her up as their naked bodies pressed together. Why did he want her so bad? He was confused. He never really craved the same woman more than twice. So he had considered, while he was laying in bed in the middle of the night not being able to sleep, just to have s*x with her. That would probably make the fantasy’s stop. But then he would have to deal with the consequences. She was his boss's daughter after all. He was so frustrated. He looked up, hearing the sound of the elevator arriving at the garage, where he was waiting. He watched Genevieve walk out of the elevator in a cute little blue skirt and a white blouse tucked into it. She wore a matching blue blazer and some heeled ankle boots which made her legs look gorgeous. That outfit was not helping him as he battled not to be sexually attracted to her. Damn Tayden for picking an outfit like that. He sighed and opened the car door for her. She looked up and smiled. “Well thank you, good sir, and good morning to you,” she said and smiled at him. She had decided that she wouldn’t let his rude behaviour affect her in any way. She was finally getting out of that hotel room and back to her classes. She was so excited. She couldn’t help but be a bit annoyed by the fact that Zack didn’t say a word and just closed the door after she had gotten inside of the car. He went to the driver seat and started driving. They had over an hour together alone in the car before they would arrive at her school. She refused to sit there silently. “Do you mind if I put on some music for the trip?,” she asked politely with a gentle smile. Zack just ignored her and kept his eyes on the road trying not to pay any attention to her bare legs. “I’ll take that as a no and put on some music. Do you like old classics like SOS by Rihanna or I’m outta love by Anastacia or maybe you are more of a Chase Atlantic kind of guy... Let me see,” she looked through her phone and found the right song. She put on ‘Into it’ but before the singer even started singing Zack snatched her phone out of her hand pausing the song. “Absolutely not. We are not listening to that. That’s only something you play when you are about to get it on or are having s*x. But only if your s*x partner’s moans aren’t sexy tho...,” he said annoyed but ended up smirking at Genevieve by the end of the sentence. She blushed and as he noticed he let out a little chuckle. “Eyes on the road mister. I don’t want to be killed because of your bad s*x experiences. Besides, you have forever ruined Chase Atlantic for me. How am I supposed to listen to any of the songs by them ever again without thinking about what you just said....,'' she said and crossed her arms over her chest pouting jokingly. He laughed and looked at the road again. “I’m honored to be in your sinful fantasies forever more, when you listen to their songs,” he said shamelessly as he turned his head and winked at her. “You wish” She simply said. They both laughed, that being the first time they connected. “Oh... I almost forgot. I bought coffee for both of us,” she suddenly remembered. “Really?,” he simply asked, surprised. She smiled at him as she fished out two to-go cups from a paper bag. “I didn’t know how you liked your coffee so I brought milk and sugar just in case,” she blurred out seeing his surprised face. He thought she hated him, so why would she bring him coffee? “Ummm. Thanks. I would like some sugar in mine. Normally I’m an iced americano kind of guy. But it’s fine,” he said, feeling nervous. Not understanding why he was nervous. Was it because she was being nice like that? He didn’t know. “Sure. I’ll remember that for next time then,” she said gently, surprised by the fact that he actually said thanks. She didn’t expect that. She poured some sugar in his cup and placed it in his cup holder. He gave her phone back to her and took a sip of his coffee. She just looked at him, not being able to look away. As he was sitting there he looked so handsome. His jawline from the side was breathtaking. The rest of the trip they both stole glances of each other. They didn’t talk and just listened to the music playing. They finally arrived at the campus. Zack had to leave his gun in the safety box in his car. The school rules clearly stated that no weapons are allowed on school grounds except for the police. He stood next to Genevieve and pressed the lock button on his car keys, locking the car behind him. “Are you ready?,” she asked with an excited smile. He just sighed and nodded, not really wanting to go back to school again. Especially not with a bunch of law school snubs. She started walking as Zack followed beside her with an annoyed expression on his face. People were looking and talking as Genevieve and the new mysterious guy walked into the school. The girls were all whispering to each other how dangerously sexy Zack looked. Of course both Genevieve and Zack picked up on what was going on around them rather quickly. “I’m sorry about that, Zack. They will probably settle down in a couple of days,” she said and stopped walking. She looked up at him with an apologetic look in her eyes. He looked into her eyes, finding them beautiful as he had done so many times before. He quickly looked away and stuffed his hand in his pockets. “It’s fine,” he said in a low toned voice. “Hey Genevieve. Who’s your new boyfriend? Elliot won’t be happy,” both Zack and Genevieve turned their heads to look at a group of four girls walking up to them. The girls were Genevieve’s classmates. The four of them were sort of the divas of Genevieve’s grade. But they were nice enough and Genevieve didn’t have any problems with them. “Oh hey Sana. This is Zack... he is my… Well, bodyguard,” Genevieve nervously said, looking up at Zack. He just crossed his arms unbothered by the presence of the girls. “Yer, I heard what happened. I’m so sorry. Are you okay?,” Jessie asked. The girls talked for a little while, while Zack backed away not wanting to be a part of the conversation. He leaned back on the wall and closed his eyes to rest for a second. “Where do I get such a handsome bodyguard like you?,” he opened his eyes and saw Sana as she winked at him. He leaned back his head and closed his eyes again, ignoring her. “Wow, so good looking... It must be a blessing,” she continued to speak. She walked closer to him and whispered “I would just love to see what's under all of that fabric on your body,” she was about to run a finger down his chest but she was stopped. Zack suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her hand harshly. He glared at her dangerously. But she just seemed to find his reaction amusing and she smirked. He got even more annoyed to the point where he got angry. But his attention left Sana and landed on Genevieve as a male student walked up to her. He was tall, skinny looking and wearing some unneeded round glasses. He looked like a typical law school snub. That was what Zack thought as he eyed him down. “Hey babe. Welcome back. I missed you,” He said as he was about to hug her. “I need to get to class,” Genevieve said, and walked away. Zack could sense that Genevieve felt uncomfortable around that guy. Zack rolled his eyes in annoyance as the guy watched Genevieve’s sweet little butt as she walked away from him. He assumed that the guy was Elliot. Zack let go of Sana’s wrist and walked after Genevieve. Sana yelled after him to get his attention but it didn’t work. Elliot noticed Zack walking after Genevieve and grew jealous and confused as to who Zack was. Zack caught up to Genevieve. “Boyfriend?,” he asked, not looking at her as they continued walking to her class. She looked awkwardly up at him. “No. Elliot is not my boyfriend. He just likes to flirt, I guess,” she said with an awkward laugh. Zack didn’t say anything after that. He thought she was naive. It was clear Elliot was into her and wasn’t just flirting. The rest of the school day went by. Genevieve sat in the front row of all of her classes as Zack sat in the back. He was a bit amused by the fact that she was a front row kind of girl. Of course she was. A couple of girls had approached Zack throughout the day and he had ignored them all. Genevieve had noticed and found it remarkable how he could do that so easily. How could anyone be so cold? As they sat in the car on their way to Genevieve’s apartment none of them said anything. As Zack parked the car, Genevieve finally said something. “It’ll only take about 10 minutes. Then I’ll be back,” she said as she got out of the car. Zack stepped out too. Genevieve looked confused at him. “What are you doing?,” she asked, confused. He rolled his eyes in annoyance. “Genevieve, I can’t let you go alone,” he simply said. She nodded and they walked into the building and up the stairs to the second floor. She unlocked the door and they both walked in. Zack looked around and followed her to her bedroom. It was a nice apartment. Very nicely decorated. Simple but a bit girly with pink stuff here and there. “Have a seat on the bed. It won’t take long,” she said and he did so. She found her suitcase and opened her closet, starting to pick out some clothes to pack. Zack watched her closely as she took off her jacket. She was so focused. Just like she had looked in her classes all day. That expression really suited her well. She had her back to him as he just sat there and watched her nice features. He smirked a bit to himself as she squirted down to pick out some shoes. She stood up again and walked to the suitcase with the shoes. Zack noticed one of the drawers in the closet. Something there looked like a bra strap was hanging out. He got up from the bed and walked to the drawer. He opened it and a smirk appeared on his face as a bunch of colourful sets of lace underwear were in the drawer. He picked out a red, purple and dark navy blue set. As he turned around, Genevieve noticed. “What are you doing? That’s my underwear you pervert!,” she said, shocked. She walked up to him and took it from him. He just gave her an amused smile. “I don’t see the problem. I already picked out the set you are wearing right now,” he stated, turning around to pick another set from her drawer. But he was stopped as she slapped his hand away and closed the drawer. “That’s not the same and it’s weird. I was going to pack it as the last thing and ask you to leave the room...,” he cut her off. “Why? Why would I have to leave the room? It’s not the first time I’ve seen a woman's underwear,” he stated and put his hand on his hips looking down at her as she was still holding the sets he picked out. She glared at him. He reached out and grabbed the navy blue thong. She widened her eyes at his action. She reached out for it but he held it up over his head so she couldn’t reach it. She stood on her tip toes but wasn’t even close to reaching it. She looked at him and realised how close his face was to hers. He moved closer and let his mouth get by her ear. “Besides, I don't care much for the fabric itself. It looks way better on a beautiful body such as yours,” he whispered shamelessly. He moved his face back to see her reaction and it was exactly what he wanted. Her cheeks had turned bright red and her lips parted. She looked so sexy and innocent at the same time. She managed to take a step back but with no use as he took a step forward following her. He put an arm around her waist pulling her against his body. He tossed the thong to the suitcase and brought the hand up to her face instead. He placed it on her cheek as he looked deeply into her eyes. She was completely mesmerised by him. She couldn’t do anything. She didn’t know if she wanted to. She didn’t know if she wanted him to stop. She was drawn to him. Her heart was beating so fast in her chest. He ran his thumb over her lower lip as he brought his face closer to hers. He brushed his nose against hers. As they both closed their eyes. “I’ve never had to strip a woman of four sets of underwear before,” he whispered against her lips. He smirked as she let out a little whimper struggling under his strong gaze. He connected their lips and kissed her softly. She couldn’t help but respond by kissing him back. They both enjoyed the gentle kiss more than they had expected. The kiss turned more heated as they both started moving their lips together. Zack was so surprised as to how much he wanted her. He bit down on her lower lip and she parted her lips letting him slide his tongue inside. He tilted his head for better access. He moved his tongue around tasting her. “Mmm,'' he hummed against her lips. She wanted so much more but something in the back of her mind told her to stop. She finally came to her senses and could move again. She pushed him back and disconnected their lips. They both gasped for air. He looked at her with a confused expression. “Stop playing with me. It’s not funny, Zack,” she said and looked away with a red face. “What? Don’t tell me you didn't like it. I know you did,” he said in a low husky voice. She looked back up at him as he ran his thumb over his lower lip, staring at her seductively. “Stop it. We shouldn’t be doing this, and you know it,” she said and walked to her suitcase throwing the underwear in turning her back to him.
