Two Week Seduction Read Online Free PDF

and that was only the first of the graphic thoughts spinning through her brain. She wasn’t going to die from any military maneuver here. She was going to combust from lust.
    She swallowed, struggling for a way through the desire. There were reasons he was off limits to her, but for the life of her, she couldn’t remember what they were. Especially since she’d been imagining scenarios like this since she was sixteen years old.
    Her knees went soft and her head dropped back against his shoulder. Her breasts were aching and his forearm was so close to her nipples that if she just arched a little bit…
    She knew the moment he realized what she was feeling. One moment, she was bounded by a wall of hot male. The next second it all turned to frozen steel. He went rigid, and not in a nice way. His breath caught and his body jerked to a stop.
    “John,” she whispered. And in that one word was all her pent-up frustration and longing, the well of need that had been building since the day he’d taken her best friend to the prom.
    Then she felt him relax. Not a lot, just a low groan as his breath dipped from her ear to her neck. She felt his mouth on her skin and her whole body shivered as he nuzzled her. A single, slow caress with his lips just below her ear.
    Then just as abruptly, he was gone. He moved back so quickly, she stumbled and had to catch herself on her desk. And when she finally put some strength into her legs and turned to face him, he was pulling open the door.
    “Don’t you dare,” she hissed out.
    He stiffened. And damn it, he wouldn’t even look at her.
    “Ten years ago, I threw myself at you and you…” She gulped. She really didn’t want to go there, not out loud and not in her memories, but she couldn’t stop herself. “You made it clear I wasn’t the girl for you. But last night, we kissed. We had a moment that I can’t stop thinking about. And then just now—” Was she really saying this? Was she really about to bare her soul to this man when he was obviously running for the door?
    “Don’t read anything into it. I was trying to show you that Charlie could have hurt you. He could have killed you.” His voice was thick and raw and gave her the hope that he was just as messed up as she was feeling. Then again, given that he had straightened up and crossed his arms, maybe she was just imagining things.
    “I wouldn’t dare walk onto a military base and tell you how to do your job. Don’t you dare walk into my classroom and think—”
    “He could have hurt you!”
    “He wasn’t going to!” She had no reason for her assurance. She walked a fine line with these kids, reaching out to them only to get her hand snapped off half the time. But Charlie hadn’t been about to hurt her. And John was an idiot to blunder in when he didn’t know what was going on.
    She watched his face. He’d turned back to look at her now. And though his arms didn’t uncross, uncertainty flashed through his expression. Then he sighed. “Your turf, huh?”
    “It’s not about turf.” She looked at him squarely. “It’s about trusting me to know my job.” She wasn’t really arguing with him. Honestly, she’d been fighting to prove herself from day one. Of course the kids challenged her, but so did the administration, the parents, and most especially her own family. All anyone saw was how tiny she was. Five foot four with delicate features and a wealthy background. She’d established herself with the kids after the first week. Adults took longer, and her family longest of all.
    So when she dug in her heels and glared at John, she was doing it from long practice—staring down yet another person who judged her externals and not the woman inside.
    “I know what I’m doing,” she said firmly.
    “I see that.”
    His answer was so quick and clear that for a moment she was stunned. Had he really just agreed with her?
    “And I’m sorry,” he said. “I shouldn’t have interfered without knowing more of the
