Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1575

Word of it eventually made its way to Conner. Not only did he sling that curse word around, he even granted the guy a day off—medical leave, no less.

“I’m not even a dad yet and you’re already jinxing me?” he grumbled.

The junior, practically groveling, glanced over at Annie, who was working on a lollipop. “Annie, come on, help me out here! I was just showing off, I swear.”

Cheeks puffed from the candy, Annie looked irresistibly cute. She answered, “Go on, get back to work. And next time, say something nice. Don’t go riling up my sister, either.”

Once the guy scurried away, Conner turned to Annie. He reached out, swiped the lollipop from her lips, and stuck it in his own mouth. “See, Annie? That’s what happens when people talk without thinking.”

Annie shot him a look. “Like you’re any better?” She stretched her hand, trying to reclaim her stolen treat.

With a loud crunch, Conner bit through the lollipop, spat out the stick, and flashed a wicked grin. “You shouldn’t be eating too many sweets—doctor’s orders. Pregnant women need to watch their sugar. Let me take care of that for you.”

He slid closer and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Annie shrugged him off, assuming he thought she was mad about the lollipop. Undeterred, Conner pulled her back in.

“I’m hot,” Annie protested, turning away.

Conner, ever resourceful, grabbed an old-school hand fan and started fanning her, still refusing to let go.

“Annie, do you remember when we first met?” he asked, his voice soft.

Annie answered without much thought, “At a party. You spotted me, love at first sight.”

He shook his head, eyes dreamy, like he was reliving a favorite movie scene. “Nope. Much earlier. I saw you back in high school.”
