nipples which she plucked at. Kieran grabbed ahold of her head, lacing his hands into her silky cap of hair while she moved. Before long, his hips were moving to her rhythm, which pushed him farther into her throat. She didn’t seem to have any limits as to what she could take.
Kieran felt the first tingling of his climax at the base of his spine and tried to hold it off as long as he could. He wanted this moment to go on forever. But then Annika reached down and gently grabbed his balls, massaging them while she continued to suck. Kieran couldn’t hold it and he let out a shout of relief as his orgasm triggered, gripping Annika’s head tightly. His hips kept pumping while he poured himself down her throat. Annika’s ministrations turned gentle as she continued to gently suck and lick at him, working him through his entire release. She finally pulled away and he slipped out of her mouth.
Kieran’s first plan of attack, once he regained feeling from the waist down, was to pick her up and return the favor. But right now, he had stars winking at the edges of his vision. He looked down at Annika and she was grinning like a cat that just finished a big bowl of cream.
“Thank you,” she said.
Kieran snickered. “You’re thanking me for that?”
Annika shot him a mischievous grin. “No, I’m thanking you in advance for what you are getting ready to do to me.”
Kieran let out a bark of laughter and then shot to his feet. He grabbed Annika and lifted her up over his shoulder. Taking her to the bed, he leaned over and dropped her there. Lying on her back, she propped herself up on her elbows to watch him.
“Oh, Annika, baby. You are going to owe me a lot more than thanks when I get done with you.”

Annika woke before the sun had risen. Not having any idea what time the man’s shift started at the palace, they had planned to be at the mark’s house early so they wouldn’t miss him. Annika realized that she was beside Kieran, laying half on top of him. Her head was resting on his chest, her arm wrapped around his waist, and her leg was twined with his. He was sleeping soundly.
A moment of panic fired through her over the fact that she was snuggling next to him, but she pushed it back. Taking deep breaths, she let her mind open up and feel all the sensations she had always denied herself. Kieran’s body was warm, permeating her skin. His chest was hard, but smooth, providing a nice pillow for her cheek. He smelled wonderfully spicy…a scent that was only Kieran.
Tilting her head to look at his face, he bore the look of sweet innocence as he slept. Glancing down, she saw his cock nesting in his blond curls and literally had to dig her nails into her palm to keep from reaching out for it. They didn’t have time this morning.
Yes, these were all wonderful feelings. Strange, but wonderful. And she was proud of herself for not going into full blown panic mode. Still, she couldn’t have this, not forever with Kieran. She didn’t deserve it. A fact he would soon find out.
Pulling back from Kieran, she gently shook his shoulder. “Time to get up, sleepy head. We got to get to work.”
Kieran rolled toward her and grabbed her body. He pulled her into his arms and buried his head in her neck. “Just a few more minutes, mom.”
Annika chuckled and reached up to push her fingers through his hair. After a few minutes of gently massaging his scalp, she kissed his forehead and then slapped him hard on his ass. “Get up, lazy bones.”
She jumped from bed before he could retaliate.
“You’ll pay for that.” The mischievous look on his face told her that she would probably enjoy paying for it.
CHAPTER 19
Annika and Kieran quickly dressed and grabbed some food on the way out of the hotel. They made their way to the mark’s house and Keiran waited across the street, hidden in an alleyway. Annika stood a block down on the route the man would take toward the palace.
About a half an hour before sunrise, the door to the man’s house opened and he walked out. He turned down the street and headed straight for Annika. Kieran fell in step behind him, keeping careful distance so he wouldn’t be noticed. It was still dark enough
