So much potential, not enough pages.
Character Impressions:
Sarah Cross
She doesn’t waste any time with letting Agent Jordan know what she wants. The moment they meet, she’s flirting hard and I don’t hate it at all. She doesn’t seem at all in distress about having to go under protection, so it’s obvious she’s done this before, just not with a hot lesbian bodyguard.
Agent Jennifer Jordan
Hot lady bodyguard. Her character would benefit so much if the story was longer so she can contemplate the professional morality of sleeping with someone she’s supposed to protect but because it’s a short story, any doubts about mixing business with pleasure goes out the window. And hot damn, she loves pinning Sarah against vertical surfaces.

Minor Characters:
There’s a small cast of minor characters who each have their own distinct roles, but none of them have any crucial interactions with the main characters.
Story Impressions:
It’s got a few typos and capitalization errors here and there, but overall, it’s a short story you can finish reading in about an hour, so expect it to be fast paced. The scenes where the two leads are intimate with one another would work so well if the story was longer and had time to build chemistry between them. I would love a longer version of this with more character development, sex, and emotional bonding (though physical bondage is welcomed as well).
There is so much potential and I would love to see more from the author.
