Jase (Kings of Korruption MC Book 3) Read Online Free PDF

“Well, I was dancing with you.”
    The
butterflies go crazy and my breath catches in my throat. Placing my
hands on his chest, I put some distance between his body and mine,
even though I like the feel of his. “I don’t think that’s a good
idea.”
    His blue eyes
look at me with confusion. “Why not?”
    Because you’ll hurt me . I don’t say it, but it’s true. There’s no doubt that I’m
attracted to Jase. I may want him, but I can’t have him. I don’t
want to be a notch on this beautiful man’s bedpost. I respect
myself more than that, and I’m not looking for casual
sex.
    My teeth
nibble on the inside of my lip as I try to pry my eyes away from
his. Finally, I find the courage to speak. “It’s just not.”
    The stunned
look on his face makes me want to take back my words. I need to get
away. Without an explanation, I spin on my heel and rush towards
the bathroom, praying that Julie and her friend follow. I don’t
need this right now. I’ve gone almost twelve years of playing it
safe, and I’m not about to change that for anyone, not even
Jase.
    Sure, I’ve
dated, but the men were always dependable, responsible, and quiet.
Boring is more like it, but they were good role models for my boy.
I hadn’t gone out with any of them more than two or three times
because they just weren’t the right ones for me. I’m still holding
out that someday, I’ll meet a man who will be a good father to my
son, and a good husband to me. Until then, I need to stay far away
from guys like Jase.
    I shove my way
through the bathroom door and raise my hands to my flushed cheeks.
God, this is silly. It was only dancing, for goodness sake.
    I give myself
one final look in the mirror and move to stand in the line of
drunken women who are waiting to use the toilet. I use the time to
calm my pounding heart and remind myself that I’m overreacting. He
was flirting, which is what he’s always done. Hell, he flirts with
everyone.
    I finish my
business and wash my hands quickly before walking back through the
door, intent on finding Julie.
    “ How do you know?”
    The voice
comes from behind me, and back here in the hallway, the music is
quieter, so his voice bounces off the walls. I can’t help it when I
let out a tiny scream. “What?”
    He takes a
slow step closer to me, and I suddenly feel like his prey. “How do
you know that it’s not a good idea?”
    I stare at his
lips. The lower one is slightly fuller than the upper, and all I
can think about is what it would feel like to take that lip between
my teeth. My eyes wander from his lips to his eyes, and it’s like
I’ve been electrocuted. A jolt down my spine brings me back to the
here and now.
    “ It was just a dance, Jase.”
    He steps
closer, invading my space. “Exactly. It was just a dance. How is
that a bad idea?”
    From this
distance, I can see tiny yellow flecks in the blue of his eyes.
They’re mesmerising. I press my back against the wall, trying to
keep as much space between us as I can manage. “Jase…” I don’t even
know what to say without sounding like an idiot. “Look, you’re a
nice guy, but—”
    His hand lands
on the wall above my head, effectively boxing me in on one side.
When he leans forward, I can barely breathe as his eyes bore into
mine. “It was just a dance, El.”
    Does he really
think I’m going to fall for this shit? I push off the wall, feeling
slightly victorious when he has to back up to allow me room.
“Really?”
    He chuckles,
but his words speak a truth that we both know. “Fuck no.”
    If he
thinks that a sexy chuckle and a little dance is all it takes to
get me into bed, he doesn’t know me very well. “I’m not that girl,
Jase. I’ve heard about you, and I’ll never be that girl.”
    “ Ah, so you’ve been asking around about me?”
    “ No, but I’ve heard enough, and what I do know is that I’m
certainly not what you’re looking for.”
    The cocky
smile melts slowly from his face. “And what exactly
