Amanda Hilton, Publisher www.SirenPublishing.com www.BookStrand.com HER PERSONAL SECURITY Slick Rock 6 BECCA VAN Copyright © 2012 Chapter One Remy Alcott was sitting in the Slick Rock Hotel sharing a drink with his brothers after a long week. He was watching all the people dancing, eating, talking, and generally having a good time. People watching was one of his favorite pastimes, and tonight was no different. He learned a lot by watching. It was amazing what body language told him about a person. He and his brothers were in the security business and ran their own company. Since they had retired from the police force, he made it a habit to watch people. He looked at the door as it swung open and felt his heart stop beating for one moment, and then it began to pound again. He knew in that instant she was the one female he had been waiting for, for what seemed like a lifetime. She was average height at around five foot five. Her short red hair, streaked with blonde highlights, only seemed to enhance the paleness of the creamy white skin of her face. She had a delicate, pointed chin and a small, thin nose. Her eyes were tilted slightly at the ends, making them look almost feline in appearance, and she had the lightest, almost translucent, blue eyes he had ever seen. She was slim, almost boyishly so, with slightly curved hips and small breasts, and she looked scared out of her wits. 8 Becca Van She looked behind her, and then she moved with a graceful, hurried sway of her hips toward the bar. He was so intent on her, even though he heard his brothers, Giles and Brandon, call him. He didn’t answer. He rose from his seat and headed toward the bar. He was just in time to hear her ask for a glass of soda, and she turned to look toward the door again. He slid on the stool next to her and caught a whiff of her exotic scent. Her perfume reminded him of spring just after a storm, a mixture of ozone, plants, and flowers. It was so refreshing and enticing. His cock twitched and hardened as he turned to study her. She was in tight black jeans and a green tank top, and he could see the outline of her nipples against the fabric of her camisole. Remy sat studying her surreptitiously from beneath his lowered lashes and out of the corner of his eye. She tensed up every time the door to the hotel opened. She studied the room and the patrons, but her gaze always ended up back on the entrance. He wanted to talk to her and find out who she was, but he didn’t want her running off scared, so for now he was content to sit, watch, and wait. She finally noticed him, and he felt her eyes run over the length of his body. His cock pulsed against the metal zipper of his pants, and he had to concentrate on not shifting in his seat. He lifted his gaze and looked her square in the face when she tapped him on the shoulder. “Hi, I was just wondering if you could tell me anything about the rooms in this place.” Remy’s balls ached at the soft, husky sound of her voice. Oh man, he had it bad. He had no idea who she was, but he intended to find out. “Sure, darlin’. It’s a nice place to stay. Brand-new, too. If you give me a minute I can ask the bartender, Tyson, if he’s willing to rent the room upstairs to you. I’m Remy Alcott,” he said, offering his hand. “Hi, I’m Kayli,” she replied and took his hand. If Remy hadn’t been watching closely he might have missed her reaction to his touch. Her eyes widened slightly, and her pupils Her Personal Security 9 dilated. She snatched her hand away from his, and he knew she felt the same tingling warmth he had. He had never felt such intense arousal from just a touch of a hand before. He quickly glanced down and saw her nipples were even harder than before. He was thankful she didn’t see him looking at her pert little breasts. She looked back at him and gave him a nervous smile then looked away again. Remy signaled Tyson with a finger, and when he had finished serving, he headed down the bar to him. “What can I get you, Remy?” Tyson Osborne, the owner of the Slick Rock Hotel, asked. “Kayli here needs a place to stay for the night. Do you have any rooms available?” Remy asked and stared at Tyson meaningfully, trying to get the man to see the slender woman at his side was in need. Since Tyson was an ex-Marine, he was more in tune than most men and had obviously picked up on Remy’s tension. He replied without a bat of an eyelid, “We’re not quite ready to open yet, but I can take a look at the rooms. The painters have just come by, but maybe the paint will have dried.” “Thanks, I’d appreciate it,” Kayli said warily. “How much to stay the night?” “Oh, don’t worry about that. You’d be my first customer, after all. I’d give you a discount to tell me how the room works for you,” Tyson replied, and he used his beguiling smile, which always seemed to win women over. Remy was just glad Ty had his own woman and wasn’t interested in Kayli. Tyson and his brothers, Sam and Damon, were in a ménage relationship with Rachel Lamb. And the four people had never been happier. That’s what Remy wanted. He and his brothers wanted to share and love the woman of their dreams, and he knew without a doubt that Kayli was that woman. She just didn’t know it yet. “Hey, bro, what are you doing? I thought you came to get more beer,” Giles asked from behind him. 10 Becca Van Remy turned on his stool to see Giles and Brandon looking from him to Kayli and back again. He knew they were waiting for an introduction, so he complied. “Kayli, these are my brothers, Giles and Brandon. Guys, this is Kayli,” he stated. “Hi, Kayli, pleased to meet you,” Giles said and held out a hand in greeting. “Likewise,” Kayli replied and shook his brother’s hand. “Hey, sweetness,” Brandon said, and Remy had to bite his lip to keep from laughing as his brother nudged Giles out of the way. Kayli giggled and took Brandon’s proffered hand. She gasped, and the smile on her face faded slowly as she continued to hold Brandon’s hand. She gazed at him as though lost in thought, and then she shook herself a little and slipped her hand from his quickly. Remy could tell that she felt attracted to his brothers as well, though now she looked at them warily. “So where do you hail from, Kayli?” Giles asked, dispelling the silence between the four of them. “Um, nowhere really, I’ve been traveling around for a while now,” Kayli answered cautiously. “How long will you be staying, baby?” Brandon asked. “I’m not sure yet. It depends on a few things.” “Like what, darlin’?” Remy asked, hoping to get more information out of the nervous Kayli. She didn’t answer this time, just gave a negligible shrug of her shoulders and picked up her soda to take a sip. She was back to being wary again, and he just wanted to pick her up and hold her, to reassure her that she was safe with him and his brothers, but it was way too early for that yet. He could tell she was as attracted to them as they were to her. She shifted in her seat often and eyed them when she thought they weren’t taking any notice. But Remy was so attuned to her already, he could feel when her eyes touched on him.
