closed starter for EMMA from SIMON COHEN @lupaeus

"baby girl, i can't keep sneaking you in here. your sister caught us already, who knows what kinda blackmail she'll have up her sleeve with that. but if i'm caught with you in my room, even on your property, your dad can fire me and then i'll lose my job entirely."

the last time simon was forced to wear a nice suit and put any amount of time into grooming more than showering and applying deodorant and cologne had been his high school prom. as it happens, new guys drew the short straw this time, and while he knew he'd be working a special security detail he had no idea it would be... this. the other guys on the shift had snickered as he donned the suit and shiny shoes that he already knew would be a bitch to run in if the situation called for it, but he'd ignored their cat-calls and comments in favor of getting out of the office and to the home of the heiress he had recently been assigned to.

usually his job of escorting her from place to place, standing around and making sure no one got too close or touched her, and then returning her safely home had been the extent of his duties, but this would be something new altogether. going to an event while also protecting her was something he had done before, but this was different. it was the only thing that made sense seeing as she couldn't very well have multiple bodyguards standing around her table all night. so against usual protocol, he's going as her date, and the moment she opens the door and he gets his first look at her, he already knows he's screwed. she looks stunning, in a way that tops every look of perfection she's ever gone out in before when he was on duty. he actually feels his chest tighten (and the front of his slacks get a little tight too) just seeing her. he stammers out a reply, trying to keep his jaw from hitting the floor. "i uh — no that's okay. i'll just wait here." he needs a little time to talk his dick down, and he turns from the door and goes to stand a few feet away, hands clasped in front of him to wait her out.
