Estelle quirked an eyebrow. “What’s up?”

Lambert’s gaze suddenly softened, his deep brown eyes reflecting a beautiful

light as he stared at her unwaveringly. Then, a slow smile spread across his

face. “You’re every bit as stunning as I imagined.”

Estelle pressed again, “You looking for a bodyguard?”

“Absolutely.” The man grinned broadly, his pearly whites on full display. “I’m in

the market for a bodyguard who’s as beautiful as you.”

Estelle replied, “If you want me for a bodyguard, it’s gonna cost you a pretty

penny.”

He leaned in, his voice low. “Name your price. How much are you worth?”

“Maybe,” Estelle’s eyes were ice-cold, “it’ll cost you your life.”

Lambert burst into laughter, a joyful, infectious sound that made his eyes

sparkle. “My life, huh? It’s yours for the taking tonight.”

Estelle turned away, knowing he wasn’t serious, and didn’t bite.

“Seriously, though, name your price.” Lambert’s tone was almost pleading.
