Could his father really be so cruel as to send the most beautiful man Wyatt had ever seen to guard his body for the next six months? The answer was yes. What a fucking bastard. What the hell was he supposed to do with this guy? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e“You could start by letting me in.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eJesus, had he said that out loud? “Uh, come on in, I guess.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe man frowned at him until Wyatt realized he was blocking his path. He took a hasty step backward, trying to recover his equilibrium. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePull it together, asshole. He’s just another warden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e “So you’re my dad’s latest super soldier, huh? Graciela’s right. The last guy was a moron. Hope you’re a lot smarter, GI Joe.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e“It’s Lincoln, but you can call me Linc.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWyatt wanted to call him a lot of things, but he needed to shut this shit down. “I’m not going to call you anything. In fact, I’m going to pretend you don’t exist. You should do the same. Stay out of my way and I’ll stay out of yours and we’ll just do our best to get through this next six months? Cool?”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe man—Linc—snorted, before closing what little distance there was between them, forcing Wyatt to take a step back or have his nose buried in the taller man’s chest. Even with distance Wyatt could smell the man, could feel the heat of his body and that was very much not okay because he smelled like an old-school manly cologne like Old Spice and Wyatt liked it way too much for a guy wearing only skin tight boxer briefs. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf Linc noticed Wyatt’s predicament he didn‘t say so. He leaned close, his voice a low growl. “Listen, kid. I don’t know how things worked with your last babysitters and I don’t really give a shit. Pay attention. When I speak, you’ll acknowledge me and when I tell you to do something you will do it because I don’t just run my mouth for no reason. I can smell the liquor on your breath and that stops right now. If you’re doing drugs, that stops now too. You’ll get up at a reasonable hour every day, put on some fucking clothes and eat something healthy because you look like you’re wasting away. You’ll do something productive with your time and lights out will be midnight and not a minute after. Do I make myself clear?”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookvault","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover Bundle","offer_id":52798041850172,"sku":"9609254001194","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/0713\/1708\/files\/elitehbdeluxe.jpg?v=1772025840"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.onleyjames.com\/collections\/elite-protection-services-5.oembed","provider":"Onley James","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
