19. "You're always on my mind".

Daniel looked in the rearview mirror while he drove over the roads that were darkened with the night. You were in the backseat, looking out of the window, however your eyelids were heavy and you closed your eyes every now and then. It was clear that you were tired. One of your partners had been in a difficult case all week and half way you decided to fly over to him and help out. The days were long and the flight had been even longer. You felt exhausted. Daniel, your loyal bodyguard, had been on your side the whole time and he probably slept even less. Nevertheless, he was still behind the wheel and he looked fit, relaxed and in his place. Daniel kept glancing over at you every now and then while he drove you back to your mansion. There hasn't been a day that he wasn't on your side. Previously, he had been the bodyguard of one of your partners. As he passed away after an attack, Daniel and you were close to get over the loss and he wanted to work for you instead.

Daniel seemed to be your soulmate. You didn't know how he did it, but whenever you were nervous, scared, feeling funny or anything, he seemed to notice it. He reassured you he was, right next to you whenever you needed him. He was there to protect you during businesstrips, during lunches and dinners. He had his nightshift in front of your bedroom door if you had a traumatic, bloody evening and you didn't even have to ask for it. Daniel turned the car onto the porch of your house, the gates opening and he halted on the assigned parking spot. Daniel opened the door to get out and he softly opened the door of the backseat. His hand reached out to squeeze your arm. "Hey, love, we're home". He softly said and you opened your eyes again, blinking a few times and you realized you had fallen asleep. "Oh, right". You chuckled, getting out of the car. Your feet in the stiletto's were sore and you were longing for sleep. Daniel followed you inside and he noticed you took your shoes off before moving up the marble stairs.

It was late already and no one of the staff was to be seen in the house. Daniel remained outside of your door while you were probably getting dressed for bed. "You can come in". He heard your voice and he turned around to get into your spacious bedroom. Everything was so structured and neat, reflecting the way you handled everything on your path. Daniel was slightly surprised you were still getting undressed, untying the holster that held a gun, moving the band that included a knife away from your thigh. He swallowed hard. "It's not like you haven't seen me naked before". You added with a cheeky smile and he let out a breathy chuckle. A few years ago you had spend the night together, however your professions kept you apart ever since. You both argeed it was better to prevent any slip ups in front of the other staff and your business partners. If the bodyguard had an emotional relationship with the mafia leader, could make people think you might be distracted by your own bodyguard. Daniel took the robe from its hanger and he held it open.

He looked at the way your naked skin was covered by the satin of the nightgown and he looked down at you when you turned to him. "I'll be outside your door tonight". Daniel had a gentle smile on his lips and he leaned forward to kiss your cheek. "You need to rest too, Daniel". You said. "Stay with me". You muttered in his ear, feeling his arm curling around your waist and pulling you into his chest. "There are guards down at the door, it will be fine". You continued and you felt his lips pressing onto your jaw and your neck. "Just for tonight, darling". Daniel said and you nodded. He let go of you and you got in bed meanwhile. Only a small nightstand lamp was on, but you could clearly make out his figure while he undressed himself. Daniel got under the soft sheets with you and he loved how they smelled like your perfume and the sweet scent that always lingered around you. You turned the light off and you were facing each other meanwhile. You noticed him gazing at your face. "What's on your mind?". You asked. "You". He replied. "You're always on my mind". He added.

You remained silent at his response. "You mean the world to me, Daniel". You eventually said. "You're my world, darling. I'd give my life for you". He said and your hand reached out to caress his face. Daniel felt your hand on his cheek and he held your hand in his, pressing kisses to your fingertips. You moved closer to him, closing the gap between you and you kisses his lips now. Every kind of feeling was poured into the kiss and it tugged heavily on your heart. He pecked your lips a couple times and let go of you, kissing your forehead softly. With Daniel by your side, you always felt safe.
