The Geek Job
with their cards played, fled out the door.
    Anthony appeared dazed and looked around in confusion. ―I—What—How?‖
    ―We‘re safe. Those petty thieves are gone.
    You saved me.‖ And she even managed to keep a straight face as she said it.

    ―I did.‖ The stunned look in his face made her want to smother him in kisses.
    ―Oh, yes, you did,‖ she smiled. ―Come on. Let‘s get out of here and go up to our room so I can properly thank you for being my hero.‖
    ―But shouldn‘t we call the police?‖
    ―What‘s the point? We‘re fine. They‘re gone. Besides wouldn‘t you prefer to spend our last night naked in bed rather than in a boring police station?‖ She coaxed him. When the staff would have stopped them with questions, she pretended to faint. Anthony caught her slumping body and took charge. He swept her up into his arms.
    ―Sir, we need you to give a statement to the police.‖
    ―About what? Your gross incompetence where the safety of your guests is concerned?‖
    Anthony sounded really pissed. ―Thankfully, the miscreants where chased off with no help from this establishment. They didn‘t actually manage to steal anything, so what exactly would you like me to accuse them of? Showing how feeble your security truly is?‖ Lexie bit her tongue so as to not giggle as she imagined her geeky lover facing down the hotel staff. ―Idiots. Get out of my way so I can get my girlfriend back up to our room.‖
    Feigning unconsciousness, Lexie didn‘t know what she found sexier—his domineering manner with the hotel staff or the fact he called her girlfriend. Both made her tingle all over.
    He carried her into the elevator and punched the button in for their floor. Once the doors closed, she nibbled his jawline.
    ―I thought you might be faking it.‖
    She laughed. ―I‘m horny and they were getting annoying. Nice job getting us out of there.‖
    ―Care to tell me what happened?‖ he asked tilting his head to look down at her.
    ―What do you mean?‖
    ―Those guys. They wanted to kidnap me, not rob me.‖
    ―Are you sure?‖

    Anthony sighed with exasperation. ―I‘m not that oblivious. Just like I know you did something to get them to let me go.‖
    Lexie widened her eyes. ―Me? I didn‘t do anything. You saved me.‖
    Anthony narrowed his gaze. ―Don‘t toy with me, Lexie. I might have taken care of the one thug, but you did something to the other one. And how did you know to come around to the front of the hotel to intercept us? Who are you?‖
    ―Nobody.‖
    He snorted.
    Lexie sighed. ―Fine. You caught me.
    Remember how I said I‘m kind of an odd jobs kind of girl? Well, sometimes the things I do can get a little dangerous, so I‘ve had to learn how to protect myself. When I came out of the bathroom and saw those thugs carting you off, I couldn‘t just do nothing. I couldn‘t make it through the crowd in time so I let myself out a side door and ran around to the front. I‘ll admit, I did act a little pretending to not grasp the situation, but I didn‘t want those guys to see me as a threat. When I grabbed the one fellow, I used some pressure points I learned to temporarily incapacitate him.
    But you took care of the other on your own,‖ she reiterated pressing herself against him and slipping a hand down to cup the growing bulge at his groin.
    ―I did, didn‘t I?‖ His smile emerged, banishing his doubts for the moment. Lexie knew she‘d squeaked by with her feeble explanation, and given time, when he‘d thought it over more fully with that fabulous brain of his, he‘d probably have more questions. So, she‘d just have to make sure to keep his focus distracted until the limo showed up to take him away in the morning. She‘d ply him with erotic pleasures to keep him occupied the rest of the night. The things I do for my work—
    numerous orgasms and pleasure. What a way to end the job.
    They arrived at their floor and she took charge. She grabbed him by the tie and
