Sean Sparrow has one more
job to pull: break into the bank, steal what he was hired to take, and get
out. He plans everything to the very last detail, sure of success... until he
sees Tessa.
Tessa Martin lives a
humdrum life. With a boring job and a crappy roommate, she's sure there must
be more to life than this. She's not prepared for the muscle-bound bearded
man who walks into her life, offering her everything she's ever wanted.
When Sean breaks down all
of Tessa's walls, she has no choice but to fall hard and fast.
But when the truth comes
out, and Sean is fully revealed to her, will their instalove be enough to
hold them together?
Chapter 1
*Sean*
Stuck
in the back of a strip club, waiting for the boss to show up, is not my idea of
a good time. I took this job for one reason: a diversion. I need these guys,
and I’m on a time crunch. Time that is ticking away and being wasted at this
very moment. I normally like to work alone, but this job is paying me enough
that I can finally retire. I’ll be set for life if everything goes according to
plan. If being the operative word.
These
guys think we’re just robbing a bank, which we are, but I’m after something
else. A bank job isn’t enough to have me hanging up my gun, but my real reason
for breaking into the bank will give me the good life. There’s a very important
deposit box inside that vault, and that’s my moneymaker. That box is the real
reason I’ve hooked up with these clowns, and they’re the only way I can get
into it with the time I’ve got left.
No
one needs to know I was ever in there, which is why I need a robbery to go
down. I need chaos to help create a diversion while I get what I’m really
after.
“You’ll
stay until Heavy gets here,” Nick says, like he can make me stay.
“You
forget who asked who to do this job.” I start to rise from my chair, like I
don’t give a shit about the job one way or another. They asked me for my help,
but only because I’d planted seeds for them to do so. I don’t want them to know
how much this job means to me. It’s better if they think I don’t give a shit.
Just
then, Heavy walks in.
“Out!”
he snaps, and the girls who have been roaming around scurry from the room.
Lazily,
I drop back down into my chair and wait. Heavy pours himself a drink before
making his way over to where Nick and I are sitting, a few more of his crew
coming in behind him and joining us.
Heavy
is anything but heavy. He’s barely five foot, balding, and wears the most
God-awful suits I’ve ever seen. The only reason he’s got himself this little
makeshift gang is because it used to be his father’s until he passed a few
years back.
What
was once a decent crew turned into a bunch of lazy fucks who clearly aren’t
making ends meet. Seeing as they all latched on to the stupid idea of robbing a
Federal bank, these idiots are dumber than I thought.
Or
maybe Heavy’s as crazy as I’ve heard he is, and he just doesn’t care. Crazy is
dangerous and makes for sloppy work. Crazy is hard to understand and not easy
to predict. I feel like I’ve bitten off more than I can chew with this crew,
and I’m starting to have second thoughts. My doubts are bubbling to the
surface, and I think maybe it’s time to call this whole operation off.
Right
until Heavy drops a stack of pictures and papers on to the table, making my
heart jump into my throat.
I
sit perfectly still, trying to appear completely unfazed by what I see. The
real reason I want to call off the job. I don’t make a single move to indicate
I know who the woman is. Her pictures are scattered across the table for all
these men to leer at, and I’m cool and calm on the outside. On the inside,
though, I’m losing my shit.
I’ve
always been known for my control, and for the first time in my life, I feel a
crack split in my facade. The mask I so carefully wear starts to slip, and I
have to rein myself in.
“Tessa
Morgan.” Heavy says her name like he bought himself a winning lottery ticket. I
should have seen this coming, and maybe I did but I ignored it. I don’t even
like her name on his lips. She’s too sweet and pure for a man like Heavy to
even say her name.
When
I knew what bank was my target weeks ago, I started digging up every piece of
information I could get my hands on. Tessa stood out to me right away but
probably not for the same reasons she stood out to Heavy.
I
hate her name on his lips; it makes my stomach clench. I’ve been watching her
for weeks already, and I told myself it’s because she’s a part of the job.
That’s a lie, because I haven’t watched anyone else at the bank. Just her. I
want to watch her now.
Each
day my little obsession for her seems to grow. Now I’m so deep there’s no
turning back. I have to have her, and I will, by any means necessary.
She’s
the reason I keep picking up my phone every ten minutes. I’ve been checking her
location. Checking on her.
“What
about her?” I manage to ask the question with as much indifference I can
muster, but my blood feels like it's ice, moving through my veins as everyone
in the room stares down at the pictures of her. She looks like a fucking angel.
My angel. That’s what I thought the first time I’d laid eyes on her, and I
still think it every time I see her.
Her
reddish-brown hair falls in waves around her face down to the middle of her
back. She has honey-colored eyes like I’ve never seen before. I didn’t even
know eyes could look like liquid gold. When I first saw her, I was sure they
were contacts. After I planted the camera in her apartment, I learned it was
her true color. Those gorgeous eyes hypnotize me.
She’s
curvy, almost plump, and her short stature makes her seem compact. It’s like I
could carry her soft little body around with me, and she’d mold against me
perfectly. But what drives me wild about her are the little freckles that
pepper her cheeks and her little button nose. It makes her look sexy and
innocent, all rolled into this fucking package I can’t get off my mind.
It
started with how she looked, but as the days went on, the more I watched her,
it became so much more. She truly was a sweet little angel. Not a mean bone in
her body. Always has a smile for everyone, but a lot of the time the smile
doesn't reach her eyes. I want to make that smile reach her eyes. Have it directed
at me.
Now
all these fucks are standing around, staring at her, and I’m trying not to lose
my shit.
I
know what Heavy’s going to suggest, because I’d thought it myself.
“We’re
going to use her to glean information on the bank and get our hands on her
access keys. She looks easy enough to seduce.”
“I’m
not into chubby chasing,” Nick says, picking up one of the pictures of my
angel. I feel my fingers twitch, wanting to grab the blade at my side and slam
it through his hand.
“You’ll
do what you’re told,” Heavy reminds him, but no way could Nick seduce her. He
isn’t charming enough. She’d run from his sleazy advances the first time he
tried to come on to her. He’s used to paying women to fuck him.
Heavy’s
eyes are on me, but I don’t want to seem eager. If I try to jump in, the
situation could blow up in my face and ruin everything.
“Sparrow
should do it. The ladies always seem to be after him.” I have no clue what
Heavy means by that. Maybe it’s because the whores in his club are always
trying to latch on to me, but that’s probably because I don’t look like I’d
beat the shit out of them. Like his whole fucking crew does.
“I’m
here to make sure the cops don’t show up. I’m cutting the lines and hacking the
systems. Those are my skills sets,” I remind him, as if I want no business
seducing the girl. I’ll be the one to do it if it’s something he’s going to
push. “We don’t need her. I got you the floor plans, schedules, and I can take
their system down easy. We don’t need to drag a woman into this, one who can
end up identifying us when it’s all finished.”
“Trust me, she won’t be identifying anyone when we’re done
with her.” Heavy’s intent is clear. But that’s something I would never allow to
happen. “I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page. Let’s not
forget she has keys, too. Access to the main vault.”
“And
what if shit goes wrong? She could ID me if she slips through our fingers,” I
try again, going at him from another angle.
“Why
do you care? I hear this is your last job anyways.”
I
regret giving him that piece of information, but I had to give him something. I
was known for working alone, doing random jobs for crews. Normally, when I did
pick up a job with another crew, I still did those jobs alone. Got them what
they needed, then stepped out. I had to have a reason why this time I was
willing to go in with a whole group, and I used this being my final score as
that reason. I told Heavy I wanted to walk away with a lot of money so I could
be done. But I have a feeling with all this talk about the girl not walking
away and wanting me to get close to her that Heavy doesn’t plan on me walking
away either.
I'm
Alexa Riley! Mom, wife, and business woman by day and smut writer by night. I
specialize in the Dirty Date Night reading. I wrote my first book, Owning Her
Innocence, because well, I just couldn't find any daddy books to my liking. So
I sat down and just started writing, bringing the fantasies I find myself often
dancing to in the dark of night to life, one page at a time.
Alexa
Riley is my alter ego. I can't let the other soccer moms know what I'm up to or
the guys at work for that matter. Little do they know that they've got nothing
on my dirty talk.
I'm
here to give you a quick fix of filthy dirty smut. Got a few hours to kill?
Then I'm what you're looking for.
THANK
YOU!
