 My oversleeping is funny? The moment the words left his mouth, Luke got the feeling he shouldn t
have asked.
 Yup, it s quite a coincidence, because for the first time in all the years I ve known Annie, she was
late getting to the arena. Funny, isn t it? Mustang knocked his hat back a bit and glanced past Luke s
shoulder.  Oh, look. Here s our little Annie now. Hey there, darlin . You re looking mighty pretty this
morning. All bright eyed and bushy-tailed.
Luke spun to see her approach. She looked as if she d like to turn tail and run, but it was too late.
Annie s eyes cut from Luke to Mustang as her face pinked.  Uh, thanks, Mustang. Good morning,
Luke.
Between how adorable she looked when she blushed and the memories of the night before that
assaulted him, Luke couldn t hide his smile. He didn t even care if Mustang saw it.

 Morning, Annie. Luke nodded to her and tried not to smirk too big as he remembered how he d
actually said good morning to her. He was sure she was thinking of the same thing when her face turned a
deeper shade of red.
 All right, then. I ll leave you two to discuss& something. See ya ll later. Mustang tipped his hat in
Annie s direction, shot Luke an I-know-what-you-did look and then was gone.
He watched the door slam behind Mustang, leaving them alone in the hall. With no reason not to since
there was no one there to see, Luke reached out and ran a finger down Annie s arm. He watched her
shudder from his touch. That reaction, combined with the look of lust in her eyes, nearly had him backing
her into a broom closet somewhere for a quickie. He swallowed hard and tried to get a rein on his libido.
 Hey.
She drew in a deep breath.  Hey.
 I had a really good time last night. Damn, he wanted her again already and they d only parted ways
a few hours ago.
Annie nodded.  Me too. But, Luke& 
Uh oh. But was never a good beginning to a sentence.
Annie glanced around.  Here at work, I m afraid 
 That people will talk. I didn t tell Mustang anything about us or last night. I swear. He wouldn t
have his stupid, immature friend s teasing him and Annie ruin this thing between them.
 I know. It s okay. I m not worried about Mustang. Besides that him suspecting that s probably
my own fault. She shook her head even though Luke couldn t figure out how she could blame herself for
Mustang s suspicious and nosy nature.  But other people. It s hard enough in this business for a woman. I
have to be professional.
Luke nodded.  You are professional. And you re damn good at what you do. Better than any man or
woman. I would never do anything to endanger your career. I swear. Please, please don t say we can t be
together again.
 We have to be really careful and discreet. Okay? Though she kept her voice low, Annie s tone
pleaded with him.
 Of course. He felt suitably reprimanded. He d have to be more careful. No more secret touches or
glances at the arena. Definitely no quickies in the broom closet.
 Good. She nodded once firmly and with resolve.  And don t forget you need to buy more
condoms.
A smile tugged at the corners of Luke s mouth.  Yes, ma am. I ll get on that right away. I promise.
Oh yeah.
 Okay. I gotta go get ready. Annie hooked a thumb in the direction of the door Mustang had
disappeared through.

 All right.
 See you later? She was seriously asking him if he d see her later? Hell, she should try and stop him.
With one more glance around them to ensure they weren t being observed, Luke grabbed both her
arms and dropped an incredibly fast and far-too-risky kiss on her lips, and then released her.  Definitely.
Looking a little off-kilter and as if she didn t know whether to lecture him again or jump him after
that kiss, Annie left him alone in the hall, but not without Luke fully enjoying the view as she walked away.
 Wow. His cock stirred in his pants. Boy, was he in trouble.
Luke made sure his excitement wasn t visible, then made his way through the door. He arrived in the
dressing room to find it already filled with riders in various stages of preparation. After spotting Aaron and [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
