Sighing, Daniel crashed in the seat next to hers and laid his arm across the back of Holly's chair. "It's not," he offered. Three of his fingers twirled into her hair. He slumped lower. "It's Las Vegas."
Logically, he knew he couldn't be around all the time, but damn. Twice this bodyguard was the only thing between Holly and death or armed robbery. He hated it for her, hated it for himself, and then hated himself period. If there was a dick swinging contest, this guy Rhys had won.
Not the point.
If Holly wanted to live in a city and move around after dark by herself, she had to protect herself. Vampires and humans -- even crossbow-yielding ones -- were fallible.

"But I'd feel better if you carried a weapon."
An arsenal.
