Keep You Safe
by C.R. Moss
in the Down and Dirty anthology
Genre: anthology, romance, erotic romance, blue collar
I’m Professor Arianna Perez, and I’ve been asked if I’ll ever
trust,
trust,
let alone love, another man again.
After dumping an abusive boyfriend, I doubted I
would. At least, that’s how I felt until fate had sexy wrangler,
Kian Bishop, reappearing in my life in a way I never expected.
would. At least, that’s how I felt until fate had sexy wrangler,
Kian Bishop, reappearing in my life in a way I never expected.
Against my better judgement, I fell hard for the cowboy,
believing everything
believing everything
he said, including how he wanted to treat me like a queen and
keep me safe.
Little did I know, though, that the circumstances that’d brought us
together could also tear us apart…and possibly claim my life.

Hi everyone, my name is Casey, and I write under the names C.R. Moss for
erotic and mainstream romance and Casey Moss for mainstream dark
fiction (horror, suspense, urban fantasy) and sometimes the stories
have an erotic flare to them. My professional bio for C.R.: An
eccentric and eclectic writer, C.R. Moss pens stories for the
mainstream and erotic romance markets, giving readers a choice of
sweet, savory or spicy reads, usually within a sub-genre or two —
paranormal, sci-fi/fantasy, time travel, or western flare. The bio
for my other persona: Casey Moss delves into the darker aspects of
life in her writing, sometimes basing the stories on reality,
sometimes on myth. No matter the path, her stories will take you on a
journey from the light-hearted paranormal to dark things unspeakable.
What waits around the corner? Come explore…

PG-13 Excerpt
Kian sat back and rubbed his chin. “He’s still bothering you?”
Nodding, I continued to breathe deep to allay my anxiety. “Kind of.”
“He sounds like a jerk. If you were mine, I’d treat you like a queen. I’d do anything I
could to keep you safe and free from harm.”
“If I were yours?” God, how I wanted to believe that a man would do that. Be a true
gentleman, someone who would treat me right, someone I could trust not turn into a pig. Even if
Kian spoke the truth, there were other factors to consider. “You do remember there’s an age gap
between us, right? That I’m older than you?”
He lifted a shoulder again. “So? We’re both adults. Consenting adults. I hated that my
family moved, and I couldn’t see you anymore. That I only had you in my fantasies.”
“Wait. What?” This time I couldn’t hide the surprise on my face. “You fantasized about
me?”
“All the time.” He chuckled, and pink tinged his cheeks. “I thought you were the prettiest
woman I’d ever seen, and I was a hormonal teen. I wasn’t joking before when I said you’re
beautiful.”
Compliments. Wants. Desires. The claims coming from him made my breath catch on
such an intense wave of yearning it almost hurt.
Oh, Lord, what kind of spell is this man weaving over me?
“I appreciate the sentiment, but like I’d said, you could have your pick. Why would you
want an older lady with ten to twenty extra pounds on her frame?” Under my breath, I couldn’t
stop myself from adding, “Chad used to say no man wanted a chubby-wubby.”
Kian pursed his lips. “We’ve already established that Chad’s a tool. Me? I think you’re
perfect the way you are. You don’t need to lose a pound.” He smiled. His gaze softened. “God, I
really want to kiss you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
Before I knew it, he leaned across the table, gently palmed my cheek and placed his lips
on mine. Hungry desire flooded me. I couldn’t deny my body’s response or the fact that I was
seriously attracted to Kian. I wanted the kiss to deepen, but luckily, I had enough wits about me
to not go crazy with the public display of affection.
Then, as quick as it started, it ended. He sat back, taking any decisions I might have had
to make out of my hands.
“Thank you,” he said. “I’ve wanted to do that for ages.”
More heat blossomed in my face. I couldn’t believe how much I’d been blushing. His
attentions and presence made me feel like a silly, teenager in the throes of my first crush.
