can’t let it happen again. I refuse to let it happen.” Emily started filling drinks as she cursed her reaction. The smile on Dorothy’s face slipped.
    “Em, are you attracted to Guy?”
    Biting her lip, she returned her gaze to the man with his tongue down another woman’s throat. Yes, she was attracted to him, but there was no way she was going to act on it.
    “Yeah, I’m attracted to him. Nothing is going to happen about it. I can keep myself in check, and watching him with the redhead right over there is all the cure I need.” Emily shrugged. After Nathan she was not ready to start falling for another bad boy.
    “Honey, please, don’t fall for him. Guy is great for his friends, and he’s been nice to us, but we all know he’s not the man you’re going to keep.” Dorothy leaned over taking hold of her hand.
    Tucking some hair behind her ear that had fallen from her ponytail Emily nodded.
    “Don’t worry about me. I’m not going to fall for him. I’m male-free for a long time. Nathan is too, erm, he’s too fresh.”
    “Good. Get over Nathan and then start dating the right guys.” Dorothy smiled at her, taking the drinks. “We’ll be keeping an eye on you. Don’t worry. We’ve got your back, so you don’t do anything you regret. However, I’ve got nothing against you wanting Guy. Maybe he can set you on the path to Mister Right.”
    “Not going to happen.”
    “Okay, we’re all here for you anyway.”
    Nodding, Emily watched her friend go. The bar was buzzing, and she didn’t get a chance to stop and think about her inner feelings.
    In no time at all last orders were called, and Tony started pushing people out of the door. Her friends left the bar but promised to wait for her outside. She quickly cleaned everything away. When Tony offered to see her home she declined, telling him about her friends waiting for her.
    Once she got outside, she pulled her bag closer to her and found the parking lot clear, apart from Guy who was stood against a lamppost waiting for her.
    “What are you doing here?” she asked, walking toward him.
    “Your friends were more than happy to wait for you, but I promised to be a good boy and wait for you instead. They’ve got work tomorrow, and I can be at my place any time.” He stood tall. The jacket he wore didn’t cover his muscles but seemed to highlight them, showcasing his strength.
    “Great. So you’re my security walk home?”
    “I’m more than willing in my duties, madam,” he said, bowing down before her.
    Emily laughed feeling a glow start to build inside her. “Come on. Take me home.” She hooked her arm through his, and together they walked in the direction of her home.
    “Wow, Tony’s place,” he said. “How did that happen?”
    She stopped, turned and looked at him. “Are you trying to be derogatory?”
    “Nope. I’m just curious why you’re working at a bar when you could be doing a hell of a lot more interesting stuff.”
    He didn’t sound drunk. They started walking again.
    “I’ve had a crazy few years, and this job is all I’ve got left,” she said. There was no need to lie about her past.
    “How crazy?”
    “If I didn’t know any better, Guy Jensen, I’d start to think you were trying to get to know me.”
    He laughed. “Maybe I am.”
    A gentle hum unfurled inside her. She liked the thought of him wanting to know her.
    Not going to happen.
    “It was crazy, and we’ll talk about it another time.” Staring at the ground, they both stayed silent for the remainder of the night.
    The silence was nice. There was nothing that needed to be said.

    “I think we should toast Emily for surviving her first week and making it through to the next,” Guy said, raising his beer into the air.
    She rolled her cute little eyes, and his cock tightened even more. “It’s a job, Guy. I can serve drinks, be nice, and have fun.”
    Dorothy whooped. They were no longer in working clothes. It was a Saturday night,
