A shorted battery is a fire waiting (but not for long) to happen. It can be very nasty very quickly. You can readily start a fire with an AA battery and a chewing gum wrapper (google it if you've never seen it).
I would NOT recommend wrapping loose wires around 9V battery terminals. If those wires touch (or if one wire contacts both poles) you will end up with either a melted wire or a fire in your home in very short order.
Use of a 9V battery connector is a wise move. I WOULD recommend either soldering and taping the wires you splice to the battery connector or else use some other means of ensuring that the wires do not disconnect or become exposed and then come into contact with each other creating a short. This isn't complicated stuff to do but doing it wrong is a bad idea.
Grab a kit like this and get it done right:

A simple soldering iron and a bit of rosin core solder with some heat shrink or electrical tape covering the splices will get you set up safely for very little money.
