A SEAL’s Seduction – Tawny Weber
Available February 2013
Alexia’s heart pounded
so hard against her throat, she was surprised it didn’t jump right out into
Blake’s hand.
She wanted him. Like she’d never wanted another man in her
life. Years, she’d behaved. She’d carefully considered her actions,
making sure she didn’t hurt others.
She’d poured herself into her career, into making sure her life was one
she was proud of.
She had a man who wanted
her in his life. A nice, sweet man who
she could talk through the night with and never run out of things to say.
But she wanted
more.
She wanted a man who’d
keep her up all night screaming with pleasure.
Who’d drive her wild, who’d send her body to sexual places she’d never
even dreamed of. She wanted
orgasms. Lots and lots of orgasms.
Even if it was only for
one night.
And that, she realized,
was the key. One night of crazy. One night of delicious, empowered, indulge-her-every-desire
sex, with a man who made her melt.
One night would be
incredible.
One night would be
enough.
“This is crazy,” she
murmured against his lips.
“Yeah,” he agreed, his
tongue sliding over her lower lip before he nipped the tender flesh. When she gasped, he soothed it with a soft
kiss. “But crazy feels damned good.”
It did.
She wrapped her arms
around his neck, leaned into the hard, solid wall of his muscled body and gave
a low moan of delight. He felt really,
really good.
Blake pulled back then,
giving her an intense look. As if he
were trying to see past her heart, into her soul. As if he knew wall her secrets, her every
desire.
Then he smiled. A slow, wicked curve of his lips. As if he’d just figured out how to make every
one of those desires a reality.
Now that was a scary
proposition. Scarier still, she was
pretty sure he could.
She wanted him. Wanted nothing more than to strip him naked
and run her hands over every inch of his hard body. To touch, to taste. To feel.
Oh, God, she wanted to feel him.
To give herself tonight to feel, to enjoy. To live.
“Did you ever want
something you knew you shouldn’t have,” she asked, her words so soft they
almost disappeared in the sound of the surf.
She traced her fingertip over his lower lip, then sighed and met his
eyes. “Something you knew you’d be
better off not even considering, but were so tempted by?”
“No.”
Figured. Alexia laughed
helplessly, dropping her forehead to his shoulder and closing her eyes.
“But I know what it’s
like to want someone that bad,” he
said quietly, his voice so intense she had to raise her head to look at
him.
He shifted, sliding his
hands in a whisper-soft caress up her cheeks, then tunneling his fingers into
her hair. Cupping her head just above
her ears, he tilted it back just a little and stared deep into her eyes.
Alexia shivered. Her heart skipped, then tumbled over itself
trying to catch up.
His gaze was
hypnotic. Penetrating. The moonlight glowed, glancing off his cheekbones
and giving him an otherworldly air. Like
he was straight out of one of her fantasies, sent by the universe as a reward
for her being such a good girl for so long.
A chance to be bad again for just a tiny little bit of time, and then
she could go back to being on her best behavior.
She wanted Blake, and
this feeling between them. His hands
skimmed through her hair, fingers tangling softly in her curls. This delicious, overwhelmingly intense
feeling of excitement. Her body hummed,
her senses went on hyper-alert. It was
as if each touch of his fingers was amplified, exciting her more than she’d
ever been before. More than she’d even
imagined.
“Shouldn’t we talk about
this?” she asked, desperately trying for sane and practical. “Make sure we know what we’re doing?”
“Babe, I promise you, I
know what I’m doing.”
