Part Four
Winifred followed behind Johnny as he led her into his family's home. She pulled away from him. "I really don't think this is a good idea."
Johnny faced her. "Do you want him to know who you really are?"
"Well no, but I don't see how this will help."
Johnny took her hand in his and pulled her up the massive staircase. "My father thinks I've gone back to my womanizer ways and he thinks you are the perfect woman for me. He told me so twice this evening."
"But that doesn't mean we have-"she trailed off when he suddenly pushed her back against the wall as his lips attacked her neck. "John-"
"Shh, my father is watching from the drawing room," he explained as his hand moved up under her dress, coming into contact with her gun. "Agent Leads, did I ever tell you that I find a woman who straps her gun to her thigh to be very sexy," he growled against her collar bone.
God she had never felt this way before. He was truly making her weak in the knees. "Do we have to do this while your father is watching?" she asked, running her hands through his hair.
"That's the point isn't it?"
Oh no, she'd let herself become emotionally involved in a case once again. She lightly pushed Johnny back. "I really think I should go home."
Johnny just chuckled as he pulled her up the stairs and into his room. "You're staying here tonight," he replied loud enough for his father to hear before he shut the door behind them.
"You know, I'm beginning to get tired of you ordering me around," she snapped.
"Come on Winnie, you know it's an act."
"Yes, I know everything about this night has been an act." Winifred walked away from him to stare out the large window in the corner of his room.
"Not everything was an act," he replied, coming to stand behind her.
She jumped slightly when he trailed one long finger down her bare spine. "I think you've had too much to drink."
"Not at all."
She stepped away from him. "John I can't do this again. I can't let myself become emotionally involved in another case. You just broke up with the woman you loved."
"Who says we have to become emotionally involved. Haven't you ever heard of casual sex?"
"Yes I've heard of it, but I don't have it," she replied with a blush.
"Ahh, you've never had sex before have you?"
"I don't see how that's any of your business," she snapped, putting more distance between them.
"You have to be in your mid to late twenties and you've never had sex? I can't believe it."
"It's not like I've had to beat men off with a stick."
"I don't know why not. You've got that whole sexy librarian look going for you."
Winifred faced him, pushing her glasses further up on her face. "You find me sexy?"
"Hell yeah I do."
Winifred busted out laughing. This was crazy. Men didn't find her sexy. Heck they hardly talked to her unless it was over in the internet. Sure some of the other agents would talk to her, but it was usually because they wanted her to fix their computer or something.
"Why are you laughing?"
She looked up at him and laughed harder. "You're crazy, you know that."
"I'm not crazy," he stated defensively.
Winifred stopped laughing immediately. "Oh John, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean you were crazy like your father or anything. I meant that you're crazy for finding me attractive. According to Maxie, I commit crimes of fashion all the time-"
"Don't ever listen to Maxie. You're practical, which is a good thing. Spinelli's got his hands full with that one. Besides you looked ten times better than Maxie tonight."
"Really?" she asked as she looked up into his dark, dangerous eyes.
"Of course," he mumbled as he bent down to give her a light kiss on her lips.
She jerked back, placing her fingers to her tingling lips.
He stood up straight and gave her a charming smile. "I agree this might not be the best idea."
Winifred looked down her feet, trying to how hurt she was at his rejection. It wasn't that she was ready for this, but to have him push her away after being so charming was painful.
"Winnie," he started, tipping her chin up until their eyes met. "I don't want to take advantage of you. It's not that I wouldn't love to throw you down on that bed and introduce you to the joys of sex; it's just that I know you're not ready. This may sound cheesy and like a pickup line, but I respect you too much for that. Therefore, I'll send you home and I'll get the evidence we need to put my father away for good."
"But won't your father be suspicious of me leaving so soon?"
"No, he'll think I'm done with you for the night. My father doesn't think too highly of women."
"I gathered that earlier," she mumbled. "John I hope you don't think I'm a prude or-"
"Not at all Winnie," he replied as he led her out of his room.
Winifred smiled as he instructed the body guard to take her home. "Well I guess this is goodnight. I had a wonderful time Johnny," she added before turning to leave.
Johnny grabbed her arm, turned her towards him, and lifted her up for a mind blowing kiss. She shivered when he placed his arms under her rear, holding he steady as his lips devoured hers. She opened her mouth when she felt his tongue press against her trembling lips. Winifred caught on to the art of kissing fast. She had always been a quick study. But just when she wrapped her arms around his neck, he pulled back.
Johnny smiled down at her as he placed her feet back on the ground. "I'll call you tomorrow, my little sex kitten."
Winifred blushed as she walked out the door. The older man opened the door to the car and stepped in. Her teeth worried her bottom lip on the way home. Could she have a future with him? Did she want to?
