New Species 02 Slade Read Online Free PDF

who
    lived together was instant and strong. She could learn so
    much from them. She’d be doing something real instead
    of sitting behind a desk waiting for people with paper
    cuts to come see her. “I’d love to talk them into running a
    few simple tests.”
    “Nope.” He took a step toward her. “They still aren’t
    interested. I was just wondering if you were still hoping
    to study the breeding process between our species.”
    Her excitement died. “I’m very interested. Is there
    another couple that I haven’t heard about? I’d appreciate
    the opportunity to speak to them if there is.”
    He took another step, stopping just feet from Trisha,
    making her realize he was a good foot taller than her.
    Trisha immediately felt intimidated by his size. A
    memory flashed of him pinning her under his large body
    on his hospital bed. She swallowed hard and tried not to
    allow the attraction she felt show in her features.
    “I could go home with you.” He winked. “You could
    examine me all you want, Doc.” His attention lowered
    and he stared at her breasts before meeting her gaze
    again. “I would be more than happy to volunteer to
    show you personally how we could have sex together.
    I’m up for an hour of meaningless sex.”
    Trisha backed up a step, stunned. She knew she
    shouldn’t be since he’d once talked to her worse. He
    didn’t remember it but she did. It hurt her feelings that
    he’d offer her so little, something so trivial, when he had
    become a fixation in her thoughts.
    “No thank you.”
    The skin next to his eyes crinkled with amusement
    while he shrugged again. “It’s your loss. You know how
    to find me if you change your mind. I’ll walk you to your
    door.”
    “No thanks.”
    “I’m escorting you home.” He kept his amused
    expression in place. “So walk, Doc. Or we could stand
    here. Either way, I’m sticking with you until we reach
    your place.”
    Trisha spun away from him and strode quickly down
    the sidewalk. She could feel him behind her but he didn’t
    make a sound. For a large man, he could move very
    quietly. She turned her head as she reached her yard and
    gasped over how close he was to invading her personal
    space.
    “Home safe,” he whispered. “Are you sure you don’t
    want me to come inside, Doc?”
    “I’m sure,” Trisha stated firmly.
    Her hands trembled when she darted to her front
    door. Would he try to force his way inside her house?
    Press the issue of offering to have sex with her? She
    unlocked the door and spun to tell him to leave but he
    had vanished.
    Trisha stepped off her porch and glanced in both
    directions down the sidewalk but he wasn’t within sight.
    She frowned. Where did he disappear to so quickly? He
    irritated her badly. She hurried inside and locked the
    door firmly behind her.
    Trisha dropped her purse on the entryway table as
    she headed for her bedroom. She passed the empty
    guestroom, remembering that she needed to order a desk
    and some file cabinets to create a home office.
    She peered around her bedroom. She hated the large
    four-poster bed with the thick wooden poles that shot up
    toward the ceiling. It took up too much space inside the
    room. The house had come furnished but nothing had
    been to her liking.
    She stripped out of her clothing on her way to the
    bathroom. Does Slade remember me? He could be playing some
    sort of sick game to see if I’ll say something. She just wasn’t
    sure. He was pretty convincing if he wanted her to
    believe they’d never met in the past. She turned on the
    shower and waited the few minutes it took for it to heat
    up.
    She stepped under the spray of hot water with a sigh.
    Why was she attracted to him? She couldn’t deny that he
    appealed to her. Maybe it was curiosity. She wasn’t sure
    of her motives but every time he looked at her she
    remembered the rough, hot feel of his tongue teasing her
    throat, the way he’d moved against her with his heavy
    body while he’d nearly made her
