It’s really hard to save a guy’s life when he keeps running
from you.
from you.
You might be asking yourself why I’m waving an inflatable
penis in the air and screaming at the top of my lungs. If I took
time to explain, Declan Moss would get hit by a bus.

time to explain, Declan Moss would get hit by a bus.
Let me back up. I didn’t ask for this. I was perfectly happy—
and perfectly sane—before I was tasked with keeping Declan
Moss alive. It was a thankless job until the moment that my
panties dropped and his delicious smirk found his way in
between my thighs.

Hello, toe-curling ecstasy. Goodbye, professional boundaries.
And suddenly, there’s a new danger to avoid: the falling of
my heart.

my heart.
Oh my god what a wonderfully crazy story. It is completely
well written and thought through. It just moved me. There
was just so much emotion in it, you could literally feel it.
It was a an emotional ride, especially near the end. So
have the tissues handy you will need them.
This is Declan and Autumn’s story. She feels she is his
Guardian angel. And it is her job to protect him. She has
been following him for months making sure he is safe. Till
she slips up and finds out who she is. And when they run I to
each other and he saves her and her him. It is so fun once
they finally get together. And her unusual pet. They become
close and just when all is well something terrible happens.
Then it is him that is looking out for her. It brought tears to my
eyes. It was so emotional. But you will have to read to see
how it all turns out.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book,
please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it
when you do; they value your opinions too.
A minivan with a duct-taped front bumper slowed to a
stop next to me, the hot pink logo glowing at me. I heaved to my feet and
pulled open the back door. The woman behind the wheel nodded at me. “Just crawl
over the carseat.”
I followed her instructions, finding a spot by the
window on a cloth backseat that smelled slightly of baby wipes. She pulled
away, turning up the volume on the radio. “I’m in the middle of an audiobook,”
she called out. “Sorry.”
“That’s fine.” I pulled the seatbelt across my
shoulder and settled into the seat. Finding my phone, I confirmed the pickup,
then texted Ansley.
Nevermind. Found ride. Thank God I didn’t die.
I added a wide-eyed emoji for emphasis, then a gif of
a psychopathic clown with a knife, stabbing the air.
Loud moaning caught my attention and I lifted my head,
tuning in to the audiobook, which was diving into what appeared to be a very explicit
sex scene between Joel the plumber and Bethany the lonely divorcee. The male
voice spoke, deep and rough, his voice cracking as he urged the woman to open
her legs wider and take his—I flushed, sinking deeper in my seat and resisted
the urge to plug my ears with my finger.
A detailed accounting began, so raw and unfiltered
that I felt I was there, in bed with the couple, watching the man’s
thick erection myself. I pulled at the neck of my dress and pinned my knees
together, willing the woman to drive faster and get me home already.
“Ummm….” I said tentatively. “Could you—”
“Shhh!” the woman said excitedly, her hands gripping
the wheel, shoulders hunched forward, as if she was about to crawl into the
speakers and join in. “It’s getting to the good part!”
Getting to
the good part? Oh no. Talk about sustained erotic torture. I bet this is what
Sergey Tuganov’s two women felt like. The twenty-eight-year-old mechanic bet
them $4300 that he could have nonstop sex with them for twelve hours. TWELVE HOURS.
And he did. Got his $4300 in winnings, which was such a
specifically random number, then had a heart attack and died. Doctors deduced
his heart attack was due to the entire bottle of Viagra that he popped just
before his twelve-hour session.
I can do this, I decided. If they could last twelve
hours, I could surely last the ten minutes or so that this painfully sexual
ride would entail. I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on something other
than the sordid description of her pleasure, which really did sound quite
enviable. I tried to remember if I ever plugged in and recharged my vibrator. I
hoped so. There was nothing worse than approaching the peak only to have it
sputter to a stop.
My phone, which had been cradled between my thighs,
started to ring, a sound paired with a delightful vibration that only added to
my torture. I groaned and picked up the phone. “What?”
“Jeez. Just making sure you had made it home. I just
woke up to pee and saw your texts.” She hesitated, the pause coming at a terrible
moment, the woman beginning to cry out the announcement of her orgasm. “Ummm…
where are you?”
“In a Lyft, sitting next to a car seat and in the
middle of some finger-banging. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you about it
tomorrow.”
She was silent, and I wondered how many explicit
details of the man’s cunnilingus were audible through the phone. “Riiiight. I’m
going to let you get back to that.”
“Thanks,” I said flatly. “Such a dear.”
She laughed, then hung up the phone. I closed my eyes
and, for the next four minutes, tried to block out the image of Joel the
Plumber’s thick, pulsating member. It was hard. Literally and figuratively
speaking.
The ravenous sex scene ended just as the minivan
rolled to a stop at the end of my cul-de-sac. “Whew!” The driver said. “Good
timing, right?”
I didn’t respond. I couldn’t. I had a blinding need to
get inside, strip naked, and satisfy every craving that Bethany and Joel had
just unleashed. I squirmed my way over the car seat, tossed her a tip, and
practically shimmied my way across the lawn and up the front steps. I had my
hand in my purse, swiping around for the keys, when a dark shape moved off my
swing and toward me.
