Phantom Warriors: Talon Read Online Free PDF

daring her to inhale. She did. A second later, heat swept through her like a flaming tsunami. Lynn closed her eyes on a moan and inhaled again, deeper this time, taking the enticing smel as far into her lungs as she could get it, then swayed.
    “Are you al right?” Talon asked, watching her closely.
    Lynn’s gaze flicked to him and she gave him another quick once over. The need that had been simmering below the surface shot to the forefront, nearly buckling her knees. This would probably be her last time in the field. She had no idea when or if she’d ever get back to this spot. Why not make her last time here memorable?
    The scientific part of her brain was screaming at her to stop, figure out what was happening. The woman in her quickly gagged that logical voice and shoved it into a dark recess of her mind. She wanted this man. And he miraculously appeared to want her, too.
    They were both consenting adults. As long as they kept things simple, they could both walk away satisfied.
    Lynn kept one hand pressed against her chest in a poor attempt to cover herself. She reached out with the other and took Talon’s outstretched hand. A slight tremor ran through his body on contact and his nostrils flared.
    An unexpected thril shot through her. She’d never realy turned men’s heads or made them lose control. What would it feel like to have that kind of power over a man like Talon? Lynn shivered as his large hand enveloped hers. His grip was firm, but not crushing, like he considered her something precious.
    Wow, what a concept!
    For someone standing in cool water, his skin was unbelievably hot like he was generating a fire from the inside out. Lynn knew exactly how that felt, since she was pretty sure without the water that she’d spontaneously combust if they got any closer.
    “Nice to meet you.” She paused. “Talon? Is that a family name?” Before he could respond, she added, “Saddled with something like that, it must’ve been a chalenge growing up.” He shook his head and a few strands of dark hair fel into his face. He brushed them back casualy. She watched the muscles in his arm flex. “Not so much,” he said, with a sly smile. “I’ve always been very good at taking care of myself…and anyone else under my care.”
    Lynn blew out a breath. She just bet he was. Her body swayed toward him subconsciously, seeking that delicious fragrance that seemed to cling to his skin. “My name is Lynn. Lynn Regis.” And I want to jump your bones.
    Talon grinned as if he’d read her thoughts. “The pleasure is al mine, Lynn Regis.” Her name roled off his tongue in a savoring of sylables.
    She blushed. “Um, I realy need to get dressed. Do you mind?” Lynn turned to leave, but his next words stopped her.
    “Sure you want to go back?” The musky fragrance came again. This time stronger, body slamming the last of her resistance.
    “I was hoping we could go for a quick swim together,” he said, a little too innocently.
    Lynn glanced over her shoulder. There was nothing innocent about the look Talon gave her. His gaze scorched every inch of her exposed skin, drinking her in, devouring her without laying a finger on her. Lynn’s heart thudded hard against her ribs. Now she knew what Eve felt like when that wily snake offered her that apple.
    “Unless you’re… chicken ,” he added, al but daring her to act.
     

CHAPTER FOUR
    Talon knew he was cheating a little. At the last second, he’d decided to test her reaction to his pheromones. The faint scent would only affect her if there were a possibility that she could be his mate. Talon knew he should’ve given her more time to get used to his presence, but time was something he couldn’t afford to squander. If Lynn turned out to be incompatible, then he needed to know before this went any further, so he could search elsewhere.
    His body rebeled at the thought of walking away from her.
    He’d waited a lifetime to find her. She was everything he’d been
