I shook my head. “Makes you a little criminal, huh?”
“Well, I wouldn’t say that. I only wanted your schedule, not your… other stuff.”
“But it’s an invasion of privacy.”
She let out an exasperated breath. “So was your tongue down my throat when you met me, but you don’t see me complaining.”
I smiled. “My world is criminal.”
“What are you getting at?”
“You could never be a part of it.”
“Test me.”
She walked right into my trap, and for a moment, I paused. Except I needed to prove a point and show her that this world wasn’t something she wanted. That I wasn’t what she wanted. Not really.
“Hack into Perez Cortes’s bank account.”
“Who’s that?” Fuck, talk about clueless. “Is that a bad guy?”
“Very bad.”
Sienna was the type of girl who didn’t like to get in trouble. She would flat-out refuse me, or potentially do her homework on Perez and then finally be scared of me.
“Okay, then he deserves it. Consider it done.” Just like that.
I stared at her with disbelief. She couldn’t be serious, could she?
“Give me a day or two, and I’ll wipe him clean,” she added, smiling proudly.
“Okay,” I said slowly. Was she really that good at hacking? Yes, she got into my schedule on my phone, but that wasn’t that difficult, considering it wasn’t my encrypted device.
“Now it’s your turn to do something for me.”
I scoffed. “Quick with your demands, huh?”
She shrugged. “I’m living in the moment and all that.”
“Okay, tell me what you want.”
The sooner I send her out of my office, the better. The temptation and that scent of apples was getting me drunk.
“Kiss me,” she breathed, her eyes hazing over with desire as they locked on my lips. She licked them and added, “Please, Ty. Kiss me like that first time.” She looked at me mischievously. “Who knows, it might be our last kiss.”
“I’m trying so hard to do right by you,” I murmured, bending my head and brushing my lips against hers. “It’s a first for me, you know.”
She scanned my face, trying to understand. “First what? Surely you don’t mean it’s your first time having sex.”
“Hell no.” I let out a sardonic breath. “It’s a first for me—trying to do the right thing for a stranger.”
She tentatively brushed her tongue against my lips before pressing her mouth to mine. “I don’t qualify as a stranger.”
I arched my eyebrow. “Is that so?”
“Yes, we skipped that stage the moment you kissed me.”
Something snapped in me.
