Scorch: A Soldiers of Fortune Romance (Military Bad Boy Romance) Read Online Free PDF Page A

fucking mio, this girl asks a lot of fucking questions.

    “Away from the men trying to kill you."

    "Us."

    "What?"

    "Us," She gives me a hard look; "They're trying to kill us ."

    I laugh; "Princess, they're trying to kill you ; they're only after me because I was a fucking idiot and stuck my nose where it didn’t belong.”

    She says nothing and turns to look out the side window of the cabin.

    "Yeah, you're welcome , by the way; again .“

    "Thanks," she mutters as her hand tightens on the gun. It's kind of hilarious to me that she's still hanging on to it like that, considering we both know it’s not loaded now. But whatever; it seems to make her feel like she’s in charge, so fine.

    My eyes travel up from her clenched hand to her smooth arm, then up to her bare shoulders and across that exposed collarbone to the swell of her breasts. I mean this chick is a fucking knockout . Killer smile, bright blue eyes, tanned skin, and that white bikini and sarong which is doing everything right to show off that perfect body with curves in all the right places. I mean, damn, if i'd known the C.I.A. made spooks like her, I'd have gone looking for trouble a long time ago.  

    Get your head in the game, Javier , I mutter to myself, shaking my head and dragging my eyes away from the temptation sitting at the helm next to me. Not the girl I should be thinking about like that, or looking at like that. She may be sexy as sin, but fuck , she's the enemy here. This is the C.I.A. , for fuck’s sake; not to mention her fucking family and all their little helpers are the ones that got me stuck in that hellhole of a prison in the first place. She might be tempting as all hell, but I'd be a Goddamn idiot to let my guard down around her.

    "So what did those banditos want with you back there."

    "What? I have no idea." she spits out, frowning at me.

    Nice fuckin attitude.

    " No idea?" I laugh; "The 'I' does stand for ' inteligence' , doesn't it?"

    "Cute,” She sneers at me; “Seriously though, where are we going."

    "I know a place."

    " A place ?"

    "Maybe you just gotta trust me, honey.” I say with a grin.

    She barks out a sharp laugh this time, though she doesn't say anything afterwords, which pisses me off.

    "I used to smuggle through here, way back. Aruba's got all sorts of hidden little spots on the coast where we can dodge the heat.”

    "Fine, and once we're there, we're getting a phone and I'm calling this in."

    Yeah, whatever you say, baby.

    Because I know the patch insignia on the flak jackets of the guys at the marina. I know that logo, because I used to wear it myself.

    And what the fuck Blackriver Mercenary Group wants with Chelsea Archer, I haven't the slightest fucking idea.

    *****

    "We're going to need to lie low for at least the night."

    I've gotten the boat to a stop near the mouth of the all but hidden cove I remember from my smuggling days. Really, “smuggling days" sounds way more bad-ass than it actually was; cigarettes and American copies of Playboy Magazine for off-duty U.S. Navy guys isn't exactly narco-trafficking; not like my father.

    Chelsea looks up at me sharply. She's still holding that stupid unloaded gun, which is becoming more and more comical by the moment; “We're not staying the night anywhere, Toro. We're getting to the airport, I'm calling Langley, and we're taking you in." She narrows her eyes at me; "But nice try."

    "Yeah, thats a no-can-do." When she flashes those eyes at me again and starts to open her mouth, it suddenly occurs to me that she doesn't have any idea who was just after her; “You know I’m not the bad guy here, babe ."

    She laughs; "You don't seriously believe that, do you?"

    There's something about the way she thinks this is all a joke that gets right under my skin; "I'm not the-"

    "You kidnapped my sister and you-“

    "She stabbed me in the neck.”

    " You kidnapped. My. Sister ." Her voice is level at me, her jaw tight and that wild, dangerouslysexy
