“Well, hot girl in my bed, do you blame me?”
“You think I’m hot.” She did that whole melodramatic hand on her heart move. I couldn’t tell whether she was teasing me or not.
“Did we fuck?”
Laughing, she rolled her eyes. “As if.”
I jumped so fast, she didn’t anticipate my move until I straddled her body, bracketing her legs with my bent knees and her upper body with my hands on either side of her arms. She held her breath, staring up at me. I knew she was trouble the second I laid eyes on her—what kind remained to be seen. Barely two days, and she was turning into a beautiful distraction. I no longer cared that she was the nanny. I’d fuck her in a heartbeat. I lowered my head, bringing my lips within kissing distance of hers. “I guarantee you’d enjoy it.”
She merely arched a brow. I was surprised she didn’t move or squirm, nor did she respond like someone intent on getting into my pants. “You chased me around this house last night. Why would I be interested in fucking you?”
“Because I’m probably the hottest man you’d be likely to meet.”
She snorted out a laugh. “Conceited much?”
I grinned. “Yeah, I’m an arrogant bastard. So, sue me.”
“For me to sleep with you, I’d have to be turned on, right?” At my smirk, she continued, “But I’m not.”
“Aww, you break my heart, babe.” I barked out a laugh. “If that is the case, then I think your tits didn’t get the text.” I glanced down at her hard nipples poking through the thin fabric of her teddy, then flicked my eyes back up to hers.
“I’m cold.” She shrugged. Oh, she was flippant, all right, but I didn’t miss the telltale flush that colored her cheeks.
“Care to test that theory?”
“Yeah.”
The shove to my chest caught me by surprise. I landed on the floor, my ass hitting the carpet with a loud smack. I lifted my head, hearing the chuckle as she scooted off the bed. Laughing, I laid back on the floor, laced my fingers behind my head, and stared up at the ceiling. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been this chilled with a woman. Not only was she beautiful, but her sass mixed with a hint of inhibition fascinated me. There was desire but not the normal cocky heat. It was different—an ache so raw, I was tempted to go seek her out.
Over the last two years, my closest relationship with women entailed scouting the local bars with a couple of the guys from the reserve, hooking up for a one night stand that never went past my four am wake up call. Yeah, some of them called me a bastard, but I didn’t care. So, it was surprising that while she’d shared my bed, Sianna gave me the slip. Maybe there was some possibility, after all, that she wasn’t interested in Trent’s money. Jumping up, I squeezed my hard cock and headed for the shower. Nothing a good old hand job couldn’t handle.
Sianna
AS SATURDAY NIGHT ENDED, I was glad Rayden hadn’t put in an appearance since our encounter that morning. He was a cheeky bastard, and while I was glad he hadn’t taken advantage of me or the ploy I’d started, I still wasn’t resistant to his charms. Although I was an okay judge of character, there was just something about that mischief grin. It didn’t go all the way to his eyes. As though he held something back. I could be wrong, but I was sure that those sparkling emeralds contained secrets. Strangely, I wanted to find out what they were. Had someone hurt him, and was he using his blunt personality as a façade? Maybe I should pursue him, give him a dose of his own medicine. If nothing else, it would provide some bold entertainment to lead the guy on, and if that failed, I’d get some good sex on the side.
Laughing at my uncharacteristic thoughts, I tidied up after the kids, stored the board games, and closed the cupboard. I glanced at my watch. It was just after eleven-thirty. The kids were in bed, and I was still too perky to sleep, which meant I had time to myself. Inside my room, I wrinkled my nose. It still stank despite the gardener’s best efforts to remove all traces of the contaminated water. Adam confirmed the industrial carpet cleaners would arrive on Monday to give the room a deep clean, which would end the smell.
