Dying to Run by Cami Checketts Page A

chase after him. I batted my eyelashes. “And my sworn protector would be there to watch over me,” I teased to avoid answering his question.
    A frown marred Jesse’s handsome face. “You shouldn’t joke about Sham’s protection. It’s a sacred thing to him. But I still don’t like him vowing to protect you. That’s my job. If you agree, I’ll watch over you day and night.” He winked.
    I licked my lips. “I’ve got a few applicants for the job, but I’ll get back to you soon.”
    “Nana’s right, you’re a brat.” He pulled me against him and kissed me before I could form a rebuttal. “Will you please give us a chance?” he whispered against my mouth.
    I stared at him for several seconds. Maybe I should take a little trip to Mexico. I could help with the children, make Jesse teach me some self-defense for the next time Ramirez tried to kill us, and best of all kiss him anytime I wanted. “Seeing as you love every part of me so much, I guess you deserve at least a few days’ trial.”
    “Cassidy, would you . . .” The silence stretched on as he grinned and obviously wanted to terrify me that he was popping a question I could no way answer right now. “. . . Go on a date with me?”
    “Hmm.” I arched an eyebrow. “I might consider it.”
    Jesse’s eyes sparkled. “What would you like to do?”
    “Kissing, dinner, romantic hike with more kissing, ice cream then some more kissing. Did I mention I want you to kiss me?”
    “I think I can take care of that.” Jesse pulled me in and kissed me until I stopped caring about anything else on the list. Within seconds I was convinced spending the winter in Mexico was a fabulous plan.
