Secret Seduction Read Online Free PDF Page B

truth and this time, she knew he meant it.
     
    Trying to get comfortable on a pile of flour bags was no easy task. Every time she moved, white flour would smoke out from the burlap bags. By the time she settled down, she was positive she looked a lot like Casper the Friendly Ghost.
     
    She watched as Jason folded his tall frame and sat with his back to the door, then crossed his arms over his knees.
     
    “You aren’t going to lie down?”
     
    “No, I’ll keep watch. Go ahead, get some sleep. Goodnight, Kat.”
     
    Using his jacket as a pillow, she closed her eyes and smelled his scent and flour. She trusted that he would sit there all night watching over her. Her mind kept racing with a million questions and she didn’t think she would be able to fall asleep.
     
    Then she started thinking of him, and how it had felt with his body up against hers, what it would feel like to run her hands over him, giving him and herself pleasure. Maybe she needed to step up her game and make him see that she was right for him. She wasn’t opposed to stooping to seduction. She’d never tried it before, but how hard could it be? At least she knew it would be easy with him.
     

    Jason had his back to the door and watched Katie tossing, trying to get comfortable. She’d been so soft and her smell was a memory he couldn’t help but feel comfortable with. He’d actually felt aroused when her body had been pressed tight against his. He hadn’t thought about Katie in that way before, at least he’d tried not to. He’d tried for years to think of her as the little sister he’d never had, but to be honest with himself, ever since they’d been roommates he had struggled with it. Watching her walk around their small apartment in nothing but a silk robe or towel, he’d had a hard time keeping the sister thought in his mind.
     
    He had thought she didn’t think about him that way, but that kiss at the party had awakened more desires than he knew what to do with. It had been hard that night, holding still through a kiss, when all he wanted to do was lock the door and take her against it.
     
    Then everything had been taken out of his hands. When they had met at the coffee shop, he was trying to build up enough nerve to tell her how he felt. But she just kept saying it had been a mistake, and he didn’t know what to do. Then her mother had called and, well, everything had changed.
     
    Now as he watched her sleep, something he’d done plenty of times over the years, he couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t done something about it earlier.
     
    He remembered getting upset at several of his buddies when they’d tried to hit on her. He’d made it clear that she was off limits. Now he wondered why he’d done that, if he’d had other reasons than simply protecting her like a sister, like he used to think. Maybe it was his way of keeping her to himself.
     
    He remembered the one boyfriend she’d had in college. The relationship had been short lived, thanks to him. Ken had been a good friend, and when he’d asked Katie out, Jason had been visiting his mother in Maine that weekend. When he’d returned on Monday morning, he’d walked into their apartment to see Ken walking out of the bedroom. Katie was in the shower and Ken had a look on his face like he’d planned the whole thing for while Jason was out of town. Jason had thrown him against the wall and told him to leave and never return.
     
    He told himself all that next month that it was for the best. Katie had been sad and upset that Ken hadn’t called her back, but after a few weeks, she returned to her normal self. Ken was an okay guy, but Jason knew that he was stringing along two other girls at that time. Katie deserved better than that.
     
    Back then, Katie had always kept her dark hair longer and she had worn the finest clothes. She’d been the type of girl who had never really left the house without looking her best. Now he looked over and noticed she didn’t
