Hot SEALs: Her Special Alpha (Kindle Worlds) (X-OPS 3.5) Read Online Free PDF

expected him to use the little slip-up as an excuse to bring up the subject of what he’d seen in the alley behind the restaurant, so she was surprised when he continued the previous conversation like nothing happened.
    “Actually, as good as my dancing is, GAPS is more interested in computers skills. I spent most of my teen years writing code and hacking computers for fun. They thought they could use someone like that.”
    They weren’t the only ones. A Special Forces troop with mad computer skills? She could see John being very interested in recruiting a person like that into the DCO. Travis was getting more fascinating by the moment.
    “Are you going to take the job?” she asked.
    He shrugged and loaded his fork with a piece of the beef and cheese enchilada he’d ordered. “I’m not sure yet. They’re good people, no doubt about that, but I don’t know if it’s the right fit for me. I’m still thinking about it. I’m too distracted at the moment to decide.”
    “Distracted by what?”
    “You,” he said simply, and the word produced another spike between her legs. “What about you? You just in town for your sister’s wedding?”
    Eden had never met a man who had the ability to toy with her, then move on to another topic of conversation as if they’d simply been talking about the weather.
    “Yes,” she said in answer to his question. “But I grew up here, so I’m getting a chance to spend a lot of time with family and friends, too.”
    “I take it you don’t get to come down here from Washington too often?”
    “Not as much as I’d like,” she admitted. “I only live about three and half hours up the interstate, but my job makes it hard to visit as often as my parents would like. They’re constantly on me to move down here and get a job at Norfolk or Dam Neck.”
    He took a long drink of his beer as he considered that. “Do you like working for Homeland Security?”
    She nodded. “It’s a good job and I really fit in there.”
    “Because of your special abilities?
    Eden didn’t answer right away. Mostly because she didn’t know what the heck to say. Luckily, her cell rang. Saved by the bell.
    She pulled her phone out of her purse and glanced at the name displayed on the call screen. She gave Travis an apologetic look. “I need to take this. It’s someone from my office I asked to look into those guys who jumped Brandon and Tim.”
    Travis nodded and motioned for her to go ahead. She knew it was rude as hell taking a call on a date, but Kendra might have something important for her. If nothing else, talking to Kendra would give her time to figure out what she was going to tell Travis about her “special abilities.”
    “Hey, Kendra. What’d you find out?”
    “Not a whole lot yet, but I figured I’d call and fill you in on what I have so far,” her friend said. “First off, I did a background check on Travis Dalton. You’ll be happy to know that he’s clean as a whistle. Top-secret security clearance, impressive military record, and hunky looking as hell, too, which never hurts. So, if you were concerned the whole thing was contrived for Travis to get close to you, I think you can stop worrying about it.”
    Eden relaxed in her chair, happy to hear that her instincts about Travis had been right—not that she really ever doubted them.
    “Anything on Brandon and Tim?” she asked.
    God, she hoped Kendra didn’t say Brandon was crooked. Emily would be crushed—and probably blame Eden for telling her.
    “I thought you’d want me to first focus on the guys who jumped you, so I haven’t had a chance to look into your sister’s fiancé and his best man,” Kendra said. “You know, this would go a whole lot faster if I could tell John what I’m doing. Then I could get some of the other intel analysts involved. I can only do so much without arousing suspicion. You sure this isn’t something I can tell him about?”
    “I’m sure,” Eden said quickly. “I really don’t want
