"Gads, you're full of yourself, aren't you?"
Link shrugged. "What can I say? People want to work for me because they want to see how I work. How my mind works," he said more precisely.
"And how does your mind work?" Annie asked.
"I don't think you want to know," he said, his gaze traveling down the front of her.
"Hmm." She frowned and leaned forward to brush a lock of hair behind his ear.
He wasn't sure if she didn't understand what he meant, or if she didn't want to understand. He knew, with her this close, he couldn't resist the temptation. Reaching forward, he snagged her by the waist and pulled her to him.
"Link!" she squealed. Before she could react, he had her seated facing him, her shorts-clad bottom resting on his thighs and her face level with his.
"What?" he asked, leaning forward to brush a kiss over her cheek.
"This isn't a good idea," she said, but didn't move.
"I think it's a very good idea," he murmured, and teased her with a kiss on her other cheek.
"We shouldn't--"
She didn't finish. Perhaps because he'd silenced her words by touching his lips to hers.
He kissed Annie with a longing he hadn't known for years.
