Falling For Her Navy Seal…Again Read Online Free PDF Page A

you’re okay. I’m sorry you got shot. But…why are you doing this?”
    “Doing what?”
    “Acting like…like you want me?”
    He moved around the kitchen island until he stood in front of her. “I missed you, and when I was gone, all I thought about was you.”
    Her breath hitched. “So…is it guilt or something? Because I’m seriously over you.”
    He jerked back. Over him? He didn’t like her words one bit. “ Maybe I felt like an idiot when I walked away from you.”
    “So what do you want?” She bit the corner of her lip.
    He almost laughed. Subtlety was not in her vocabulary. “I don’t want you seeing anyone else. I want to spend time with you. And I want you .”
    Her eyes widened. She hopped off the stool, downed the rest of her beer then set the empty bottle back on the counter. “I should get home.”
    He frowned. “Am I going to see you tomorrow?”
    She avoided his gaze. “I have papers to grade and softball practice.”
    “Jenesi, what’s wrong?” He tried to pull her into his arms, but she evaded his touch.
    “I’m really tired. We’ll talk later.”
    Before he knew it, she was gone, out the kitchen door. Disbelief kept him still. She’d never run from him like this before. Had he scared her off? Had he truly ruined everything?
    He heard her car start in the driveway and her wheels going over the gravel as she pulled out.
    It wasn’t his intention to move too fast or scare her off. But, no matter, she was going to be his. And he’d have his answer first thing in the morning.

    Jenesi checked her appearance once more in the mirror. Dark circles sat under her eyes, and no matter how much makeup she used to hide them, she could still see them. Exhaustion plagued her. She couldn’t stop thinking about Matthew, and even when she did fall asleep, she dreamed about him.
    The man was the devil.
    How dare he come back and uproot her? Why couldn’t he assume everything would go back to normal?
    She glanced at the calendar hung on the wall between the doorway of her bedroom and the vanity. Purposely, she’d kept the page on Mr. October, thinking to throw a few darts at him, but with her chaotic emotions, she’d done nothing but glare at Matthew and recall the night before.
    When he’d kissed her, she could barely remember her name. She’d known she had to hightail it out of his house before she broke down and agreed to whatever he asked for or demanded. But he’d said he wanted her.
    From her one time in seducing him, all she’d expected was a night together. But he didn’t want her to see anyone else? Did she really care to see Bart anymore?
    With a frustrated sigh, she grabbed her shoulder bag and purse and headed downstairs.
    Today is going to be a great day. Today is going to be a great day . The chant played in her mind with each step she took until the doorbell sounded. Dropping her bags at the bottom of the stairs, she crossed the foyer and peeped through the hole.
    Matthew stood on her porch with his hands shoved into his pockets, a determined frown on his handsome face.
    Today is going to be a bad day .
    With a groan, she pulled the door open and pasted on a smile. “Hey, what are you doing here so early?”
    His gaze appraised her, and tingles of heat ran down her spine. “Morning. I just stopped by to see what you’re doing.”
    “I’m getting ready for work.”
    He grinned. “I know. You usually leave at two minutes before eight.” He glanced at his watch. “You have twenty minutes before you need to leave. Coffee done yet?”
    The audacity of the man drove her crazy. “No.” She made a move to close the door, but he slipped his foot against the jamb.
    “Jenesi.”
    She didn’t like his tone of voice. Every time he said her name with that warning, she’d end up paying for it if she didn’t do as told. “What do you want?”
    His eyes trailed over her one more time. “I told you what I wanted. But, right now, I could be appeased with a cup of
