Jaxson's Angel Read Online Free PDF Page A

hide, she rested her forehead on his chest.
    "Good grief," Jaxson panted, his voice gone deep and husky. "I'm not sure if I should apologize for not being a gentleman or just say forget it and take you to the sand right here."
    Angel felt a delicious shiver race down her spine with the images now flooding her mind. "People would see us." It was a pitiful excuse given how every part of her body was screaming for more of this man, but her conservative nature just had to pick that moment to reawaken.
    "There's always the water."
    Angel gasped and looked up, noting the mischievous look in his eyes.
    "Want to go scare some fish?" Jaxson joined her when she began laughing. His outrageous nature was something she was coming to enjoy more and more.
    "I'll tell you one thing, you are an amazing kisser." She felt heat creep into her cheeks even as she spoke.
    "You're not too shabby yourself," he replied. "Maybe one day we can see what else we do well together because, sweetheart, that kiss was phenomenal."
    Angel was a little taken aback by the look of awe coupled with a softer emotion he wore on his beautiful face. She'd never really had a "relationship," but only because she'd never had time for one. Of course, she'd never been interested in such things before either, but she was now.
    The feelings coming to life inside her were new and exciting, just like this new chapter she was about to start in her career, so maybe a relationship would work out to her advantage now as well. She cautioned herself to take things slowly, though. Jaxson's own brother had called him a ladies' man, so she would certainly be smart to proceed with caution. She had no intention of leaving this vacation with a broken heart.
    "So what would you like to do tomorrow?" he asked.
    "You're the one who knows the area, so surprise me." They were heading back to the car when a big yawn took her by surprise. "Sorry about that."
    "Don't be. The sun and the heat will really take it out of you. Colton mentioned you were from up north, so the humidity will probably take some getting used to as well."
    "Probably so," she agreed. Jaxson, playing the gentleman, held the door for her to climb into the car. "Thank you."
    "Not a problem."
    It was a short drive to the beach-house with the setting sun casting a warm glow over everything in sight. Angel managed to write down her favorite book's title so Jaxson could familiarize himself with his brother's writing and hopefully realize the talent behind it.
    In fact, the more she thought about it, the hero in that book could match Jaxson almost exactly in both personality and description. Would he notice?
    "I want to show you something," he said, taking her hand and leading her up to the house.
    "All right." She had no clue what he wanted to show her, but if it resulted in another kiss then she was definitely interested.
    When they reached the porch, he quickly led her around to the spiral staircase leading up to the sundeck. "After you."
    "Ever the gentleman," she teased, and nearly melted when he answered with a crooked little grin.
    When they reached the top, Jaxson came up behind her to whisper, "It's not quite as good as the view from the condos, but it's still nice."
    Nice? It was amazing . The sun was slowly sinking into the water, with clouds in varying shades of yellow, gold, and orange lending to the picture perfect sunset. "You certainly don't get to see something this spectacular in the city. It must be so nice to be able to see it every day."
    "It is. I love watching the sun set in the evenings. I find it relaxes me, helps me to unwind after a long day." Jaxson's voice was soft, still only a whisper, despite the fact they were all alone. "I better head out, though. You need some rest, and I've got some reading to do before bed."
    Angel turned to issue a reply and ended up the recipient of another bone-melting kiss. This time, he kept things light and sweet, pulling back far too soon to suit her.
    "Wow" was the only
