Stolen Heart - By Bennett, Sawyer Page 0,12

was something absolutely ethereal about the way Annika looked right now. He had never been one that liked short hair on a woman, but he had never seen a woman look more feminine and tempting than the way she did now. Those light purple eyes were amazing and that tiny eyebrow piercing added just a tiny bit of toughness to her sweet exterior. I wonder where the other piercings are?

Despite her beauty, though, he was pissed she had duped him. They had spent all that time last night having sex. Amazing sex. But they could have been conducting business. What a waste of time. Okay, he wasn’t going to go there. Last night was awesome and he wasn’t going to regret that. But still, why the dishonesty? Yup. He was pissed.

“So why the need to lie to me?”

“Don’t be mad, Kieran. We had a great time last night. I was just having a little fun.”

“Try again. I don’t think you’re not the type of woman that does something just for a little fun. You had an agenda.”

Annika’s eyes took on a devious gleam. “So you think I had an agenda? How about coming back to bed and I’ll fill you in on my plans. And I’ll show you my other piercings.”

Christ, couldn’t he get a straight answer from this woman? She was driving him nuts. Plus, the invitation to come back to bed was all too tempting. And he’d get to see the other piercings. Focus, Kieran.

“Let’s try one more time. What was your reasoning behind last night’s little acting gig?”

Annika pouted her lips, but looked him levelly in the face. “Fine. I’ll tell you. After you feed me. I’m going to take a shower. Order breakfast and then we’ll talk.”

She then slid the sheet down her body and it was just as luscious as he remembered from last night. And look at that. There was one of the other piercings. She had a small one in her belly button. Another silver bar with a silver ball on one end, and a lavender crystal on the other. It matched her eyes.

He felt his dick hardening. Just great. Kieran turned his back on her to pick up his pants from the floor. Putting them on, he heard her get out of bed and pad over to the bathroom. Do not look at her, do not look at her.

“You have a great ass, Kieran."

Whipping his head around, he saw her backside briefly before she closed the bathroom door. She had a great ass too but that woman was trouble with a capital “T”. If he had his way, he’d leave right now and do this job without her. There was something about her that was very unsettling. She was clearly a prankster and loved the fact that she had tricked him last night. But under that, he could sense something a bit darker. She was too evasive for his liking. He would have to be on guard with her from now on.

Picking up the phone, he dialed room service and ordered breakfast. Not knowing what she liked, he got an array of everything. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, fruit, coffee, tea and orange juice. Then he went to find himself fresh clothes and mentally prepare himself to deal with Annika Foss.

Kieran stood looking out the window of the living area of his suite. The New York skyline was dreary with overcast skies and drizzling rain. It soured his mood further.

“Mmmmm…this spread of food looks awesome. Thanks.”

Turning, he saw Annika taking a seat at the dining table that took up the left corner of the living area. She was wearing the tight mini-dress she had on last night, and he knew for a fact that she didn’t have any underwear on. Focus, Kieran. She was barefoot and her hair was still wet from her shower. She looked fresh, young and innocent.

After filling her plate, Annika started eating. When she opened her mouth for the first bite, he got a glimpse of her pink tongue and there was another piercing. He glimpsed the small silver ball briefly before she forked eggs into her mouth. Wonder what that would feel like while she was giving him a blow job?

Fuck! Concentrate Kieran.

After fixing himself a plate, he sat down on the opposite end of the table. “So, you were going to enlighten me on the reason for the sexy librarian act…”

“Works every time.” Her face held an amused grin as she shoveled a huge forkful of pancakes into
