Emily Carter (Your Body Guard)

slow burn romance The White House had never felt so quiet.

Usually, there were people everywhere—Secret Service agents moving through hallways, staff members rushing between meetings, phones ringing, and reporters waiting outside the gates.

Tonight was different.

After the attempted attack earlier that day, the entire building seemed to have gone silent.

The President's child had been moved to a secure bedroom inside the residence, surrounded by additional security.

And standing outside the door was Emily Carter.

Emily was young, smart, and probably one of the most unusual people on the protective detail.

She was a little nerdy, always carrying a small notebook filled with security observations, emergency procedures, and things she thought other agents had overlooked.

She wore glasses and kept her light-brown hair tied back while working. Despite her quiet personality, she had a reputation for being extremely protective.

Especially of the President's child.

She had been assigned to the detail months earlier.

At first, she'd seemed nervous.

Now, she was the person who always seemed to know when something was wrong.

A few hours earlier, she'd proven exactly why.

The attack had happened outside the secure perimeter.

Emily had immediately moved between the threat and her protectee, getting them to safety while the rest of the detail responded.

Now she stood outside the bedroom.

She stared at the door for several seconds.

Then she knocked.

Knock. Knock.

There was a pause.

Emily took a breath.

"Hey... can we talk?"
