Tempted by the Soldier (A Falling for You Novel) (Entangled Brazen) Read Online Free PDF

color her panties were, and his cock would stop punishing him for wondering.
    Half an hour in the car and he could already smell her on his clothes, bringing back memories that needed to stay buried if he wanted to have a chance in hell of keeping his dick in his pants on this trip.
    He pushed his Ray-Bans up his nose and forced his attention back to the road.
    He’d meant what he’d said. If she kept giving him shit, kept teasing him, he would retaliate with that kiss. His dick was literally begging for her to smart off, just to give him an excuse to taste her.
    Would she taste the same? God, he hoped so. Her taste had ruined him. He still couldn’t eat a strawberry without sporting a damn hard-on. She might push him past his breaking point and irritate the hell out of him, but damned if he could fight back against the desire she sparked in him.
    He needed to fight it, though. He really fucking needed to, if he knew what was good for him…and for her. He had too many battles to fight in his life, and this was one he didn’t have the energy for. Or the will. Even now, the darkness and anger inside him were beating on his skull, demanding he allow his emotions to implode. They were always there—reminding him of the people he’d failed. And the mistakes he’d made.
    Hale. Clemmons. Keller. Puckett. Rivera. Hanson. Lopez .
    Nate gritted his teeth and rubbed his dog tags between his fingers, trying to focus on the road and not the ghosts fighting for space in his head.
    But it was no use. As the only survivor of that hellish day, as the one who had brought that helo down, he owed it to the dead. What he wanted didn’t matter. They mattered—the men who had counted on him to save their lives. The men he’d failed. And making their deaths mean something by going back to continue what they no longer could. That mattered.
    Getting caught in the tangle of emotions that Lilly stirred up would only distract him from his mission. Would only make him want something he couldn’t have. And put even more strain on the thin line of self-control he teetered on day to day.
    He couldn’t go there with her. Which meant it was time to banish the ongoing film reel of fantasies in his head starring him, Lilly, and a year’s worth of sexual tension set free.
    “Could you get your feet off of the dash?” He scrubbed his fingers through his hair with his free hand, forcing patience into his voice. “I just waxed it.”
    “What a coincidence,” she innocently mused. “I just waxed, too.”
    Kill me. Kill me now .
    He clenched his jaw so tight it popped. He forced a mental block to beat back the images of smooth, pink skin hidden under her barely there panties. But his dick wasn’t taking no for an answer. It rose to attention, making him shift in his seat.
    “Are you going to take your feet down or not?” he snapped.
    “I’m quite comfortable like this. But thanks for your concern.”
    She leaned over and flipped the radio on, severing the tense silence between them. She scanned the presets, then went rogue and landed on a pop station. She sank back into her seat with a smirk on her face and Nate cringed, losing his train of thought in the barrage of shitty music rattling his dash. Was that…Britney Spears?
    Oh , hell no.
    “I don’t think so.” He punched a preset and the twang of good country music filled the cab. He preferred silence, but anything was better than the teenybopper crap Lilly was trying to force on him.
    “Hey! I was listening to that.” She switched the station again and cranked up the volume.
    The pain throbbing behind his temple flared back to life and he gritted his teeth. Why the hell couldn’t anything with this woman be easy? Was she deliberately trying to make his life hell? As if he needed anyone to help him with that . He managed to find himself there every night all on his own.
    He looked over at the smart-mouthed temptress taking up the other half of his bench seat. Of course she was. She
