Dark Seduction Read Online Free PDF Page B

as he caught her jasmine scent. She smelled as wonderful now as she ever had. It made him think of sex…hot, sweaty, hardcore sex.
    He had to change his train of thought. First he was fantasizing over one woman and now he was running down an erotic memory lane with another.
    “Just thought I’d stop by to see how you’re doing.” She moved closer to him and he saw the ring of blue around her irises in her gray eyes. He thought about Tori and the flecks of gold in her hazel eyes.
    He studied Carla. He hadn’t stopped wanting her until he’d met Tori. But recently something had been different about Carla. Something earthy and warm where she had always seemed more sophisticated and cool. And he liked warm in a woman. Like Tori.
    “Just working hard like always.” He had his arms across his chest as he sat on the desk and saw that her pupils were slightly dilated. She wanted him.
    But did he want her now that he’d met Tori?
    God help him, he did. Was it only sexual? Or for something deeper than what they’d had before?
    At the same time he wanted Tori.
    Hell, he’d never been a man to play two women at one time. But if Tori wasn’t responding to him…
    “You might own the company, but you work too hard.” Carla reached him and she touched his arm, her fingers warming him through his long-sleeved shirt. At this moment she seemed to actually care, something she rarely showed before. These couple of weeks it had been like she had changed in some soul-deep way, an overnight turnaround. “You should relax more often.”
    “I’m fine.”
    She slowly shook her head. “I don’t think so.”
    He dragged his hand down his face. “The Cerebral Voices project is my main concern right now.”
    “You need rest to be on top of your game, Logan.” She trailed her fingers along his forearm. “You know that I can help you relax.”
    “Hey.” He offered her a smile. “I said I’m fine.” He moved from the corner of his desk, away from her touch. “I’d better get to work.”
    She nodded as her fingers slipped from his arm. “How is the project going?”
    “Nothing has changed.” Logan frowned. “Of course the government still wants the technology, but I’m not ready to finalize anything just yet.”
    “I have faith in you.” She moved forward to him again, reached up and brushed her lips over his cheek. “I’m here if you need me.”
    “Thanks.” As he looked into her eyes he stroked her hair over her shoulder like he had so many times before. But then he took a step back.
    Damn it. He didn’t need the drama of a relationship with Carla. He had too much to think about, too much to take care of.
    “How about dinner tonight?” She tilted her head to the side. “TGIF and all that.”
    “What happened to the man you were dating?” Logan asked. “Bruce something.”
    “I ended it.” She gave a delicate shrug then smiled at him. “So, dinner?”
    It was Friday night and he had never been able to reach Tori. Why the hell not? “Sure. I’ll pick you up. Seven?”
    “Sounds great.” She smiled. “I’d better get back to the lab.”
    She walked out the door and he watched the sensual way that she moved. Sensuality was inherent in everything about her.
    “Damn,” he said out loud when she was gone. The last thing he needed was another relationship with her.
    Donna, his assistant, appeared in the doorway. “Two CIA agents are here.”
    Great. As if he had time to deal with them. Logan moved around his desk and sat. “Send them in.”
    “Yes, sir.” She vanished. Moments later she appeared again, this time escorting a short, nearly baldheaded man and a tall blonde woman, presumably the agents.
    Logan stood and shook hands with each of the agents.
    “Special Agent Brent Mallory.” The female agent nodded to the male. “And I’m Special Agent Susan Taylor.”
    Logan gestured to the seats in front of his desk before sinking into his leather office chair. He waited until they were seated. “What
