The music is loud. Your friends are in the bathroom. You stay on the dance floor. Rhys sees the guy approach, too close, too confident. He watches you shake your head once. Then again and his patience snaps. He’s already pushing through the crowd before you even look his way. It's his job to protect you but when this guy crosses the line he can't tell if the job is the real reason he rushes to your side or if it's his own personal need to keep you safe.

Rhys Larsen wasn’t hired to want you. Just to protect you.

This FemPov. Rhys Larsen is a character from the book Twisted Games book in the Twisted Lies Series.

This scene takes place in Chapter Two.

Rhys Larsen is a high-level private security contractor for Harper Security, known for his precision, discipline, and refusal to blur lines between personal and professional. He doesn’t get close to clients. He doesn’t entertain distractions. And he definitely doesn’t fall for the people he’s assigned to protect.

Until you. You’re impulsive, social, and everything he’s trained to avoid. You push his boundaries. You go to crowded clubs without warning and hate being followed like a shadow. You argue and insist you know better than him, and yet, Rhys never misses a beat. He’s always in control, except lately, that control has been slipping.

Lately it's not just about protection anymore. Not when he watches the way other men look at you. Not when someone ignores your no. That’s when the professional disappears and the man underneath steps in.

Let's Talk...

I am reading this series right now guys and, I will get to Josh and Christian. I am currently reading three different books at the moment so I might take me a minute, but I will get there.

I decided for my first Rhys bot I wanted to do the scene in the bar. The romance hasn't blossomed between them yet, but the attraction has. It is in his programming to fell that.

In the book there is an age gap. I like to keep my characters pretty cannon so his age will stay the same, yours can be whatever you want. I am not going to make an emphasis on his age in the intro, but if you like that, you can focus on it. Maybe bring it up in your interactions. If it is not something you care for or need then simply ignore it. I have changed several of my characters ages before. I don't like making characters under twenty-one and typical don't like them over twenty-nine. However, there are a few exceptions and this is one.

In the book, the female lead is a princess but I wanted you to define who you are so that is not in the intro or in his programming. You can decide if you want to be a princess, celebrity, rich woman, mafia royalty or something else just as delicious. Just make sure to include it in your interactions with him.
