Flirting With Danger Read Online Free PDF

this…incident…could stir up.
    Damn. This was going to make working together interesting, to say the least.
    It still floored him that he’d worked with her for years without the slightest urge
     to kiss her—hell, he’d been as likely to kiss Dave, who, quite frankly, had a face
     like a twisted Ugg boot—and suddenly, because she’d looked stunning in a dress, and
     because she’d looked at him with copper-colored eyes that seemed even bigger than
     normal, he hadn’t been able to stop himself. Not that it had been one-sided at all…which
     made it even more mind-boggling.
    …
    Jasmine awoke, surprised that she’d managed to sleep at all, with a raging thirst
     thanks to downing enough champagne to float a small sailing boat. Well, not so much
     in truth, but way more than she was used to, and enough to give her a pounding head
     and make her swear to stay away from Zoe at any future parties Leanne might throw.
    As she drank her third glass of water, the full horror of the kiss returned to her
     with appalling clarity. Aaron might have kissed her first, but she had flung herself at him.
    Groaning, she bent over till her forehead met the countertop with a satisfying clunk . But it wasn’t satisfying enough, so she lifted it and let it drop again. And again.
     How could she have been such an idiot? Of all the dimwits in the world, she was the
     award-winning, cake-taking number one of all time.
    For pity’s sake, if she’d had to lose control, why couldn’t it have been with someone
     else? Someone she didn’t work with. Someone she didn’t hold in such contempt—outside
     of work, that was. She had nothing but respect for him as a fellow firefighter. His
     private life was another matter entirely.
    Aaron knew how she felt about his lifestyle; he could hardly be unaware, since she’d
     made it as clear as she possibly could during the time they’d worked together. And
     she’d been equally critical of the women who fell for his charm—the charm she’d always
     claimed to find unfathomable. Now, she’d behaved no better than a woman he’d picked
     up in a pub.
    Like her mother.
    Tears stung her eyes, but she blinked them away. After years of trying to show everyone—especially
     herself—that she was nothing like the woman who’d betrayed her family, she’d behaved
     exactly the same way. And with Aaron of all people.
    It wasn’t just his lifestyle that bothered her, it was his smugness. He was sexy and
     he knew it. For years, she’d worked hard to convince him that he didn’t have the same
     effect on her as he seemed to have on every other female he came in contact with.
     And now all that effort was wasted.
    Okay, she had to put this into perspective. She hadn’t slept with Aaron. It had been
     a kiss, no more than that. Although, it could have been more…it so nearly had been more.
    All it had taken for her to melt into a puddle was for him to touch her cheek, to
     give her a tiny peck of a kiss, and to look at her as if he saw straight through her
     tough facade to the attention-starved woman underneath.
    Oh, God, she would relive the embarrassment every single time she saw him, knowing
     that he of all people had witnessed her loss of control. Now he would know that the
     attitude she gave him was fake, that she was no less vulnerable to him than any woman
     in the universe, and that bugged her big-time.
    She was never going to drink again, that much was a given. Definitely nothing containing
     bubbles. As sensible as the resolution might be, it didn’t help her now, did it? She
     had one more day off before the start of her next shift rotation.
    One day before she had to face him.

Chapter Three
    Shift handover probably wasn’t the time to be thinking about anything other than the
     day ahead. Aaron made an effort to focus his mind on the station officer’s voice.
     It wasn’t easy. Jasmine had hijacked his thoughts since Saturday night, and no matter
     what he’d tried to do on
