Chapter 10

I made sure I had everything before I walked out of the hotel room. Looking around as I stepped out, I saw a few people that looked like bodyguards down the hallway.
I recognised them instantly. They were Lavinia's men. They were the men that had left me on the side of the road in my previous life.
I heard footsteps behind me before I could try and go the other way. CRAP!
Although might be better to try and take my chances, so I quickly turned around steading myself. There was a man approaching her, but the lights were too bright for me to see him clearly since I just came out of quite a dark room.
I was worried the man could bring attention to me, letting the other bodyguards know I was trying to escape. If that happened, I know I would be in a lot of trouble.
1 against 1 was better odds than 3 against 1 so I made the quick decision to try and disable him and made a run for it. He was in a standard suit I noticed as I got closer so I changed my plan.
I quickly grabbed him and used my body to press him against the wall as I covered his mouth with my hand. I made sure to do it in a way that if the bodyguards turned around, they would think we were making out or something and if he was one of them, I could hit him in the throat and sprint.
The man groaned as his back hit the wall before his eyes lit up with delight.
How in the world! Is he seriously stalking me?
It was Troy!
I couldn’t help but sigh in relief and also annoyance that he seems to turn up everywhere now. I leaned into ear and whispered "Don't make a sound."
He nodded with a raised brow so I lowered her hand.
I gave a quick glace over my shoulder and the bodyguards had moved closer, but didn’t seem to realise I had escaped the room.
Suddenly, Troy whispered, "Carpe Diem." Into my ear before his hands grabbed my ass and pulled me closer to him. He then began to grind his crotch into my stomach making sure I knew what effect I had on him.
Seriously!
I wanted to punch him but I couldn’t as it would give me away to the Bodyguards. All I could do was give him a dirty look and hope that he would stop on his own. Typical male, he didn’t get the message though.
I could hear the Bodyguards getting closer just as Troy crashed his mouth to mine. It wasn’t what I wanted to do but I kissed him back knowing that all the bodyguards would see were a couple that couldn’t get to their room quick enough.
Thankfully they just walked past as I kissed Troy back while wishing I could knee him in the balls or bite his tongue.
Once the bodyguards were gone, I finally myself off him pushed or him off me, either way I stumbled back finally getting air and personal space.
I went to wipe my mouth when he grabbed my hand, pulling me in and started kissing me again! This guy was not getting the message, although I did just kiss him back. But I had to.
I struggled and finally pushed him off again. I really, really wanted to hurt him right now but still couldn’t. Damn it!
This time I did quickly wipe my mouth with my hand.
He went to quickly grab my hand again but this time I moved away quickly. He went for my other hand and this time I had, had enough and went straight for the good old knee to the balls.
Turns out he is quicker than I thought or knew it was coming as he blocked it and grabbed me trying to pull me close.
I went to argue when he quickly whispered, “Shh. Those people haven't gone far. We need to keep up the façade to get you out of here."
Wait! What?
“You knew? How are you the white knight if your taking advantage of the damsel in distress?"
Troy looked deep into my eyes, searching, assessing… but for what?
"Can you blame me for not wanting to enjoy the moment? Don't you think I deserve a reward after saving you how many times now? And besides, I kissed you to save you. If that upsets you, why did you kiss me back? Not that it's a big deal." He shrugged and tried to act like we just played Frisbee casually in the park.
"Kiss you back? Not a big deal? And how many times do you think you have saved me and not been a bit creepy just showing up all the time?"
Troy was about to reply when the bodyguards turned and began to walk back towards us. I was hoping they would continue on as I put my head into the crook of Troys neck to hide my face but within moments, we were surrounded.
Fuck! They must have worked it out.
I know Troy was a cop but this wasn’t his issue. "Go. They’re after me, I don’t want you getting hurt."
Troy just smiled at me. "You expect me to stand aside and watch these goons drag you away. Sorry, that's not my style. Remember, I love being the white knight hero that saves the beautiful damsel in distress. So sorry no can do." He ran his hand down my back.
“Stay back and get ready to run.” He whispered to me as quickly shoved me behind him, squaring up to the Bodyguards.
That had me stunned for a moment.
I couldn’t let him get hurt and tried to move around him. "You don't have to do this. After all, I’m a stranger to you."
