Surrender to Desire Read Online Free PDF

the way up to her eyes.
    Suddenly embarrassed by her nudity, Callie took the garment
from him. Thinking she’d been dismissed, she took a step to leave when Blade’s
arm slid around her waist to stop her. She caught her breath.
    “This isn’t done between us.”
    His eyes held a sheen of purpose, and the underlying
sensuality of his words captivated her. Recalling how his gaze had roamed up
her body earlier, something naughty inside Callie asked, “Would you like to
have me for lunch?”
    Whoever was outside the kitchen door knocked on it again,
louder this time. “Surprise me,” Blade said, and pivoted toward the door. “I’ve
got to get to work.” He put his hand on the doorknob but waited, his gaze on
her.
    Callie backed her way out of the kitchen, keeping the ruined
nightshirt in front of her. When she was out of sight she turned and fled to
her room. She shut the door behind her and fell upon her unmade bed.
    Lord, what have I got
myself into? And why does Blade have
to be so darn sexy? She ran her hands down her body, pausing at her
sensitive nipples. She shivered with pleasure remembering his mouth on them.
She let another hand travel down to her pussy, finding her hair wet and sticky.
Further exploration revealed evidence of her orgasm. She closed her eyes. How
could she let a stranger have so much control over her body?
    Callie knew the answer to that. Blade didn’t feel like a
stranger to her. From the moment she’d first looked into his eyes she’d felt a
connection, something that told her he was a good man and would never hurt her.
Could he be the one? The soul mate her mama always told her she would find one
day? No…Callie wasn’t even sure she believed in soul mates. The thing between
her and Blade was just lust, that was all. Lust she could accept.

    Blade sat atop Calypso and stared down into the valley. The
herd of Longhorns was grazing contentedly. Some of the females were pregnant,
thanks to Satan. After seeing that the bull had made it home and back into his
pen, he’d taken a long hard ride to clear his head. The only thing Blade was
clear on was that he wanted Callie, and the little taste of her he’d sampled
that morning had just whet his appetite. He intended to have all of her, and he
was pretty damned sure the lady felt the same way about him.
    Damn Marissa for thinking that hiring a full-time
housekeeper was necessary. She’d apparently forgotten that until she came
along, the three Evans’ brothers had managed just fine without a female under
foot. The only reason Blade had agreed was to set her mind at ease, and help
her relax in preparation for the baby. He released a long breath. One minor
problem taken care of.
    But what the hell am I
going to do about Callie? There sure as hell was nothing minor about her.
    He thought about their steamy episode in the kitchen. If
they hadn’t been interrupted it would have ended a lot differently. Blade knew
he would have picked her up and fucked her right there on the counter top.
Walking into the kitchen and seeing what little she was wearing, and all that
glorious hair, had sealed her fate, and she’d been wildly receptive. Blade had
to get his mind off Callie because he was getting a hard-on, and worse than
that, he felt one of his migraines coming on.
    Jax Brady, his ranch manager, waved up at him. It was
nearing the end of the day and the men would start heading in. Blade waved
back. Everything was okay, no reason to keep anyone behind. He tapped Calypso’s
sides with his heels and headed toward home, too. By the time he made it to the
stables his head hurt so badly he could hardly see. He made quick work at
untacking and taking care of Calypso before walking unsteadily to the house.
    The first thing that hit Blade when he opened the kitchen
door was the aroma of dinner. It smelled damned good but he knew he wouldn’t be
eating anything that night. Callie turned from the stove. He barely looked at
her.
    “I’m getting a
