PROLOGUE
Getting out of the military was the best, and the worst day of my life. The best because of all the plans I had made to finally move back to Wyoming, where my heart belonged, were finally coming true. And the worst because it was the day, I had to say goodbye to my brothers I served with in the Army Ranger’s. We may have not been blood, but blood didn't mean shit when you had the tight bond we had with each other.
Vance had asked me to join them in their venture of starting Black Spade Securities in Texas, but for me the time for violence and killing in my life was over. I just wanted to get home to the ranch I had bought on my last leave, and back to my roots. Little did I know what fate had in store for my ass instead.
It all started with a call from Frank Rosenburge one day while I was packing up the apartment, I had rented while stationed in D.C. He had told me that he had a job for me, and the money was too good to pass up. I listened to him as he gave me the job description about protecting Senator Watson's daughter, Keira. When he got to the part about how much the Senator was willing to pay me for the next four months, I would have to had been a fucking idiot to say no.
But I should have.
I never meant to fall in love with her, but that's just what I did.
That was my second mistake.
The first one; taking the job in the first place.
She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on in my life. She was a real beauty, inside and out. Long blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, tan skin, and curves for miles. That girl could fill out a dress so good it should have been illegal for her to wear one. Then again, seeing her in nothing but her beautiful soft skin was always my favorite outfit. We fell beyond head over heels in love with one another. She was so much more than just your typical rich Senator's daughter. She knew just how to have a good time and we had the best of times together.
In and out of the bedroom.
Then it happened.
Her father found out about us from that snivelling kiss ass, Justin Peterson, and he fired me on the spot that same day. He couldn't have his daughter sleeping with the help. But she told me that she loved me and needed me to stay, so I did. I stayed just long enough for her to rip my heart in two.
My third mistake; giving it to her in the first fucking place.
After I saw her kissing Justin in her home, where I was waiting to surprise her after the charity ball, telling him that she loved him. It was a punch to the gut to say the least.
That night I left her house, left D.C. and moved on.
A few months later I found her on my doorstep when I came home one day, trying to explain to me why she did it, but I just couldn't go down that road with her again. So I shut the door, and shut her out of my heart for good.
Now, seeing her after all this time, here in Mexico with Presley, it had me feeling that possessive need to protect her that I always felt for her all over again. I still couldn't look past being pissed about the damage she had done to me all those years ago. But after my talk with Hudson on the plane ride back, I knew it was time to get some closure between us. He was right, no matter how much time had passed since we’d seen each other, all it took was one look at her and I knew we weren't over yet.
