A SEAL's Seduction (Alpha SEALs Book 4) Read Online Free PDF Page A

There were six men on the SEAL team, and to make matters even more complicated, each of them had a nickname as well.  They usually addressed each other by their given name in crowds like this, but it was no wonder she couldn’t keep half of them straight.  Aside from Christopher and Mike, the other guys kind of blurred together.
    “Kenley!” Lexi called out, rushing over to give her a hug.  Her dark hair swung as she swooped in, and the smile on her face could’ve lit up the entire beach.  “I thought for sure you wouldn’t show!”
    “I almost didn’t.”
    “Oh come on, no one cares about you and Mike.”
    Kenley pointedly raised her eyebrows.
    “What?”
    “It took you exactly two point five seconds to mention him.”
    Lexi shrugged.  “Okay, so maybe I care.  And want details of what exactly went down.  But these other guys?  Trust me when I say they couldn’t care less.”
    “I guess,” Kenley said.  Although she felt like all eyes were on her, absolutely no one was looking at her.  Not even Christopher, who seemed more concerned with stoking the fire.  Maybe tonight would be okay after all.
    “Anyway, I’m glad you decided to come.  We’ll do stuff with the guys tonight and then have our girls only day tomorrow.”
    “I heard that,” Christopher joked as he walked over.
    Kenley smiled at her friend’s handsome fiancé.  Why couldn’t the other guys all be sweet like Christopher?  “I’m sure you can spare her for a little while, right?” she asked him with a wink.
    “Maybe,” he said, giving Lexi a chaste kiss on the cheek.
    Kenley raised her eyebrows.
    “Let me introduce you to everyone else,” Lexi said.  “I know you met some of them before—”
    “Trust me, I can’t keep half of the guys straight.”
    “That’s Matthew, Patrick, and Rebecca,” Lexi said, pointing out the others.  “And you already know Christopher,” she joked, snuggling against him as a breeze blew off the water.
    Christopher’s gaze quickly scanned over Kenley as he wrapped an arm around Lexi’s shoulders.  “You might be cold in that.”
    Kenley had noticed when she walked up that everyone else had on jeans or long pants, plus long-sleeved shirts and jackets or sweatshirts.  It was a little late to do anything about her outfit choice now though.  “I figured we’re at the beach,” she said with a shrug.
    “We always come down here in the summer,” Lexi explained.  “She’ll be fine—we have a bonfire.  So how’s work going anyway?” she asked, turning her attention back to Kenley.  “Will you be in town much longer?”
    “I think we’ve nailed down the specifics for the new contract in Norfolk,” Kenley said, referring to the town neighboring Virginia Beach.  Norfolk housed the largest naval base in the world, and there were always multiple defense contractors bidding on lucrative contracts with the Navy.  Her own company included.  “I’ve been interviewing candidates all week to fill the extra positions.  Another week or so and I’ll probably be heading back up to Arlington.”
    “Awww, that soon?  I’ll miss you!”
    Kenley laughed as her gaze swept to Christopher.  “Isn’t this guy enough company?”
    “Damn straight,” Christopher joked, pulling his fiancée closer.  She looked more than happy to melt into his embrace, and Kenley sighed.  When was the last time a man had made her feel that way?
    “Just so you know, Mike’s coming tonight,” Christopher suddenly said.
    “Perfect,” Kenley groaned, rolling her eyes.  She knew the entire team had been invited, but a part of her had been secretly hoping that Mike would be a no-show.  Especially after this afternoon.  She’d bolted from the pool without so much as a goodbye, and knowing him, he wouldn’t leave it at that.  Besides, he was way too attractive and unnerving for his own good.  She didn’t like the way her brain always short-circuited around him, making her feel like a school girl
