The things I do for love, veteran trickster and all-around master thief and conman Nicky Spurgeon thought to himself as he looked at the statuesque, fit and sexy blonde-haired beauty standing before him. Grinning maliciously, Jess Barrett looked Nicky up and down, and nodded her approval. The sight of the tall, muscular and drop-dead gorgeous African-American stud lying on her bed thrilled the blonde kleptomaniac to no end.
After ages of going back and forth in their topsy-turvy romance, Jess Barrett, the most beautiful and successful thief in the world, decided to steal one last jewel. A priceless artifact. The heart of Nicky Spurgeon, the man who taught her everything she knew. The man Jess Barrett loved with every fiber of her being. The one and only Nicky Spurgeon.
"Admit it, big man, I'm your dream woman and you know it," Jess Barrett said, and in spite of himself, Nicky Spurgeon found himself nodding in agreement. Damn it, the sexy blonde had him right where she wanted him, and they both knew it. Moving with deliberate slowness, Jess walked up to Nicky, like a panther ready to pounce on her prey.
"I knew you were trouble from the moment I saw you in that bar," Nicky Spurgeon said, and Jess Barrett smiled. Nicky watched her as she came to him, her sexy hips moving with a loveliness and innate sensuality that set his every nerve on edge. Nicky Spurgeon felt a stir deep within, and licked his lips.
"And yet you can't help yourself," Jess Barrett said, and she stood at the foot of the bed, hands on her hips. The blonde-haired and blue-eyed beauty, clad in a black bra and ebony panties looked mesmerizing and damn well knew it. Nicky Spurgeon knew he couldn't resist her. Hell, he didn't know why he ever bothered to try.
At first, when Nicky Spurgeon saw Jess Barrett in that swanky Miami nightclub, he felt that the cute blonde would be a good roll in the hay. Hell, Jess Barrett was a dead ringer for his favorite porn starlet, Angel Allwood, a cute blonde with a serious fondness for the chocolate. Um, not the kind you eat. Later, as he got to know her, Nicky Spurgeon became fascinated by the gorgeous, fearless woman that Jess Barrett was becoming.
"Temptation thy name is definitely Jess," Nicky Spurgeon said, and sighed deeply. Grinning, Jess Barrett took off her bra and panties with deliberate slowness, and leapt on the bed, into Nicky Spurgeon's waiting arms. The two of them passionately embraced, and shared a deep, meaningful kiss.
"I almost lost you back in Buenos Aires," Jess Barrett said, and she took Nicky Spurgeon's face into her hands. The tall, dark and handsome stud smiled, and for a moment, his trademark cockiness vanished, and Jess Barrett glimpsed the vulnerable soul within the man whom she fell in love with.
"Saw my life flash before my eyes when my own father shot my ass," Nicky Spurgeon said, sighing deeply and shaking his head. Jess Barrett looked into Nicky's soulful brown eyes and smiled, and gently kissed him on the lips. Gently Jess Barrett rested her lovely blonde head on Nicky's chest, and listened to his rhythmic heartbeat, which was strong and steady.
