Around the World in 80 Men Series: Boxed Set 21-30 by Brandi Ratliff, Rebecca Ratliff Page B

be fine. The old
girl took a fall, Sean says she tripped over a box of sheep that she
was tryin' to find a proper place for. I've been at the hospital
with him, and tryin' te work from there.” Morgan's eyes flew
open, and she stood again then began to pace.
    “When?
When did she fall?” Finlay explained that it was nearly two
weeks prior, but she had to endure two surgeries over that time. He
also told Morgan that Sean had been so worried about her, that he
hadn't left the old woman's side one time since she was admitted.
“Two weeks ago?” It was all she needed to cross one more
man off the list, because Sean certainly didn't take time from
worrying about his mom to play games with a ring for Morgan.
    They
spoke for a few more moments, and Morgan wrote down the information
that Finlay gave her so that she could send Sean's mom something
during her recovery. Her heart broke for the old woman, but she was
relieved that Sean hadn't been involved. When they ended their call,
Morgan was left with only one thought that didn't hit her until
several moments after she put her phone away. “Shit! Fin! It
had to have been Fin!” She had been so caught up with learning
about Sean, that she had stopped digging for a way to get information
from the large Scot.
    “Pizza,
is served!” Ian pushed the door open with his foot, and
quickly carried in two large boxes and placed them on the counter.
Morgan was still on the patio, and she blinked through the tears that
had silently fallen without her realizing it. Drama, that thing that
she was beginning to hate with all of her being, was taking over her
day once again.
    Morgan
sniffed and wiped her cheeks one last time, then stuck her chin in
the air. The damn ring can't keep doing this to her, that was her
only thought, and she put one foot in front of the other as she
forced a smile on her face. By the time she was in front of Ian, and
smelling the fabulous food that he'd brought for her, the smile
wasn't so fake.
    “I
don't even know what looks more delicious right now, the pizza or
you!” Morgan had to come up with something to get her mind off
of the information that had been dumped on her. Thanks to Angel,
she'd narrowed down the possibilities, but there would be no thinking
of that right then. Both of them laughed at her comparison of the man
and the colorful pizza, then Morgan reached for her first slice.
Instead of reaching the piece though, Ian grabbed her hand and pulled
her close for a spontaneous kiss. It caught her off guard, but she
recovered quickly and gave into the mind numbing pleasure of his full
lips against her own.
    She
was glad he was so carefree and even more grateful that he wasn't as
intuitive as some of her other clients. Some of the men wanted to
know her whole life story and some were able to practically read her
mind. Yes, a few others would have had her telling them the whole
story by then, knowing something was bothering her. As their kiss
broke, Morgan smiled at the thought of Ian being oblivious to the
drama in her life and the fact she wouldn't have to explain it to
him.
    Morgan
giggled and reached past him, pretending to be more interested in the
pizza, and he gave in and moved aside, laughing as well. “Oh,
yes, the pizza is much more delicious!” She nearly snorted when
she saw the look of shock on Ian's face.
    “Is
that so?” he asked and Morgan nodded slowly. Ian took a step
forward and she stood her ground, then took another bite and moaned
with fake pleasure as she sat the pizza back inside the box. “Hmm,”
he looked her up and down as if he were contemplating the challenge.
    Ian didn't say anything else. He took another step forward and
wrapped an arm around her waist, then turned her around in a swift
motion so her ass was against his hips. He held her waist against
himself and his free hand slowly slid down the front of her shorts.
Morgan's head fell back against his chest and a soft, real moan
vibrated across her lips. He moved
