John held his hands up in mock fear. "Oh, please don't hurt me. I've never been hit before, I don't think I'd live through it!" As teasing went, it wasn't his best work, but then again, he wasn't really trying that hard. Besides, it didn't take a whole lot for him to annoy Sophie, which was a blessing in itself really.
Putting his hands down, the bodyguard gave Sophie something that suspiciously looked like puppy dog eyes. Not that he would ever admit to it. "Come on now Soph, you wouldn't really hurt me would you?" They both knew she would, especially if he deserved it, but this was John's way of asking for a truce. Coming right out and asking for one just wasn't his way.
