Free Catch Me If You Can (The Mancini Way) by Jordan Silver

and sat gingerly; my heart started racing now when it hadn't before at least not like this. That other felt like work, it was easy, simple; somehow this felt more personal like I was meeting him on a more intimate level. He’d shot down my offer but now had opened up the playing field again and somehow it felt different with him being the one to instigate my return, more personal.
    "So what's your poison Cierra?"
    "Riesling please."
    He raised his hand and beckoned someone behind me; the same waitress from before came over to take our orders and she wasn't smirking this time. It looked more like she'd swallowed a lemon.
    "What can I get you sir?"
    "Get the lady her Riesling and bring us the Mediterranean platter please."
    How very cordial and professional I wonder if he knew she wanted to jump his bones? And why should that thought bother you? You aren’t interested in the slightest remember?
     
    Mancini
     
    "So Cierra Stone tell me about yourself."
    "What would you like to know Mr. Mancini?"
    Did she have any idea of the danger she was in right now with that flirty look she was throwing my way? I wondered how much of that was real and how much was her job because I had no doubt that she was attracted as I was but she was a cool one; not by so much as a twinge did she give away any sign of discomfort at this new turn of events, in fact other than the slight color in her cheeks there was nothing to give her away; well done agent Stone.
    I'd read her profile from front to back so I knew this was her first real field operation; so far she'd been tested in controlled situations but this little gander was her first foray into the real world; too bad she was going to fail.
    "What would you like to tell me Cierra?" Like a cat with a trapped mouse; the imagined visual almost made me smile.
    "That's a weird way to put it what if I wished to remain a mystery? After all there's an allure in that isn't there?"
    "For some yes but I prefer my relationships to be upfront and open I'm not so big on secrets." Make of that little tidbit what you will special agent; she made a slight shift on her seat before settling herself again, had I not been watching so closely I would've missed it. Good to know she wasn't exactly comfortable with the deception. I'm still going to make her pay for it though before I fuck her to within an inch of her life.
    “I'm not sure I'm comfortable discussing myself with you on such short acquaintance after all what do I really know about you?"
    "This is true; so what would you like to know? Ask me anything."
    "Well I didn't exactly come prepared with a list of personal questions this might take some thought."
    Liar! You know down to the last question mark what you want to ask me; I bet you've dreamt about it every night since my name and file came across your desk. I didn’t utter a word of my inner thoughts just smiled innocently and watched her, it was hard not to; she had this one lock of hair that kept falling forward into her face every time she moved and my fingers itched to touch. Her lips were wide and sexy as fuck conjuring up all manner of illicit activities in my mind. They were painted a natural shade that did not distract from their sensuality but enhanced. I wonder what she’d do if she knew just what I was thinking of doing to her? What I absolutely planned on doing to her in the not too distant future. I brought my thoughts back to the conversation at hand putting aside my more lascivious thoughts for later.
    "Okay then I'll start I'll tell you something personal about myself then you tell me something about you, sounds good?"
    She shrugged her shoulders and fiddled with her glass; I'm sure she knew it wouldn't be that easy to garner information from me and I had no intentions of making her job anything less than difficult but I did plan on having lots of fun with her in the meantime.
    "I'm extremely attracted to you." There it goes again that little telltale sign that I was getting to her, it
