Fallon's Fall Read Online Free PDF

you.”
    Her expression turned thunderous. “On that, we can agree. So get out!”
    He’d walked right into that one, but Fallon wasn’t about to give up. “You can’t tell me that you feel nothing for me,” he said.
    Dora’s gaze leveled on him. “Yes, I can,” she said.
    “You lie,” he said. “I can smell your desire.” Fallon snarled and closed the distance between them. He grabbed Dora by her shirt and yanked her into his arms.
    “What do you think—”
    His mouth came down upon hers in mid-protest. The second their lips touched, the heat simmering between them went supernova. All the years fell away and they were once again Dora and Fallon, two hungry kids who could never get enough of each other.
    His grip on her tightened and he deepened the embrace. The sweet taste of her mouth went straight to his head. Oh how he’d missed this, missed her. Fallon savored, unable to get enough. His fingers brushed her shirt, grazing the soft swell of her breast. There were too many clothes between them. Fallon wanted to strip her bare, to see what he’d been missing for the past ten years. He touched her again and felt her nipples plump beneath his hands.
    Flames shot down his abdomen and settled into his shaft. His flight suit material stretched to the breaking point. Fallon had never been so hard in his life. He swirled his tongue around hers. Her body melted against his and Dora moaned.
    The sound sent spikes of joy through him. Fallon hadn’t heard the luscious noise in forever. Yet, he had never forgotten it. The tightness in his chest eased and he felt like he could breathe for the first time in forever.
    “I want you,” he murmured against her kiss-swollen lips, then cupped her sex and squeezed.
    “No!” Dora shoved him away and took a step back.
    Her rejection burned like acid. Fallon could smell her need. That particular savory scent hadn’t been in the room when he’d arrived. The thought brought him up short. Why hadn’t it been? Dora and the male had been about to have sex. Yet, desire had only emanated from one of them. Why? The truth hit him upside his head.
    “You want me,” he rasped.
    “That was never an issue. All that wanting you entailed was the problem,” she said. “Besides, my body’s response doesn’t mean anything. I wanted Cooper, too. Would’ve had him if you hadn’t interrupted.”
    Her barb struck its target, even though he knew it was a lie. Pain blossomed in Fallon’s chest. He shoved the agony aside. Coming here to try to talk to her had been a mistake. The damage he’d done all those years ago was irreparable.
    Fallon inhaled, preparing to apologize, and caught the rich aroma of aroused female. Dora’s desire should’ve faded with her anger, but if anything, it had increased. Was it due to his essence or something else entirely? Fallon needed to know. His resolve hardened.
    “We need to talk,” he said. There’d be plenty of time for fucking later.
    “There’s nothing left to say.” Dora crossed her arms over her chest, but not before he caught sight of her hard nipples. “You made your feelings clear long ago.”
    Fallon shook his head in frustration. “You need to listen,” he said. “You haven’t heard the whole story.”
    Dora balked. “I am done listening to you,” she said. “The last time I did, I found myself rejected by my village and labeled a pallet warmer. Do you have any idea what it is like to be an innocent with that kind of reputation? Of course you don’t. How could you? Nobody cares how many pallets you warm.”
    Heat flooded Fallon’s face and his hands curled into fists. A pallet warmer? How could they think such a thing about Dora? She’d been so sweet. So naïve. He’d had no idea his cowardice behavior had caused her village to turn on her. No wonder she hated him.
    Had Fallon known, he would have… Would’ve… Would’ve what? There’d been a good reason why he hadn’t come back for her when he’d said he would.
