Indie screeches, cutting him off. “He can’t fire you!”

Miles squeezes her hand as he stops her from what I’m sure would be an even longer rant. Guilt overwhelms me as I realise I’m the reason Miles has lost the job he loves.

His thumb soothes over my cheek before he rubs it along my bottom lip, my breath catching in my throat as I look up at the man who has my heart. “He didn’t fire me.”

“What?” I ask quickly, more confused than before.

Miles chuckles. “We’re calling it a promotion, but it’s really just a shift in duties. I’m still going to be his Head of Security, responsible for hiring and training security staff, but I’m also going to be his second in command. I’ll go to all the important meetings with him and help him run the business.

“In the meantime, we’re going to form a small team who will be responsible for Marcus’ safety on a day-to-day basis. So when the three of us get shot at again, there will be someone therewhose job it is to keep Marcus safe, and he doesn’t have to worry about me saving your arse, Pretty Boy.”

I can’t help but laugh at the twinkle in Miles’ eyes. “I’d prefer if you didn’t get shot at,” Indie grumbles, which only makes us laugh more.

“What if I save you next time?” I ask as I lean towards him, my voice taking on a deeper tone.

“You make a much better damsel in distress than I do,” Miles replies, leaning closer as his smile turns to that smirk of his I love so much.

Indie gasps, her eyes widening as she shuffles on my lap, her gaze flicking over to me. I know exactly what she’s feeling right now.

“What’s the matter, Gorgeous Girl?” Miles asks, though there’s no doubt he already knows.

Indie turns on my lap, shuffling as she spreads her legs wider until she’s straddling my thighs. She turns to Miles, her eyes darkening with lust as she says, “I can feel him getting hard beneath me.”

Miles reaches up and runs his fingers through her long blonde hair, stopping once he reaches the back of her head. He grabs a fist full and tugs her head back, forcing her to arch her back as she presses her tits against my chest.

She groans, no doubt from the sting of him tugging on her hair, and the new position presses her body down on my aching cock. As Miles turns her head towards him, he leans over and kisses her.

Their faces are right beside mine, and I have no choice but to watch as Miles devours her lips with his own. Indie moans into his mouth, rocking her hips against me as she loses herself in the kiss.

I grab hold of her hips, my fingers grasping on so tight it will leave bruises, as I try to stop her from grinding on me too much. The last thing I fucking want is to blow my load in my boxers.

When Miles finally pulls away, he’s got that wicked smirk on his face, and Indie is smiling at him with a blissed out expression. Her eyes are dark, blown with passion, her cheeks are flushed, and her lips are swollen from the abuse he just dished out. She’s never looked fucking sexier.

With his hand still grasping her hair, Miles turns her head until she’s looking down at the bulge straining against his trousers. He then uses his free hand to take hold of hers, forcing her to reach over and grasp him over the top of his trousers.

As she cups his hardening cock, he lets out a low groan. “Now who is more turned on?” he asks.

Indie rocks against me as she strokes her hand over Miles’ length, suddenly looking very fucking wide awake. “Both,” she says, sounding breathy.

“I think after the day we’ve both had, we deserve a bit of a reward. Don’t you?” His voice is so deep and seductive, I’m surprised it’s not making her head spin.

She nods quickly. “You both looked after me in the meeting. And after the shots were fired, I was so scared of losing you.” Indie’s voice catches, her eyes growing wide as thoughts from the day come rushing back.

Letting go of her hips, I place a hand on each of her cheeks, making sure she sees how much I mean the words I’m about to say. “We both live dangerous lives, and neither of us will make you promises we can’t keep. But we can promise to always look after you…and each other. You both mean the world to me, and no matter what life throws our way, I’ll fight for us.”

I capture her lips with mine, kissing her deeply as I let her feel just how much she means to me. As soon as I pull back, Miles replaces my lips with his own.

“We will fight for each other,” Miles tells her when they break apart.

“Now, what’s this reward?” I ask casually, wiggling my brows in an attempt to lighten the mood and get us back to where we were before.

Indie smiles, the haunted look in her eyes fading, and I breathe a sigh of relief. I hate knowing I’m the cause of her sadness or anxiety, but my job is a part of who I am.

It took me a long time to embrace the destiny I was born into, and once I did, after letting go of the reservations and hatred I had over being forced into it, my life became so much simpler.

I actually like my job now that I’m doing it my way, with Marcus by my side. But I never want what I do to cause Indie any stress, so this will definitely need to be a discussion we shelve for another day. One when she’s not grinding against my hard cock whilst palming Miles’ bulge.

She looks over at Miles. “I believe you were the one who mentioned a reward…Sir.” She adds onSirafter a long pause, and I can see Miles preen at the word.
