Shillings Agency series / Entangled Publishing: Brazen
She’s a challenge he can’t afford to lose…
Navy SEAL Steven Thomas has only ever been able to count on three things: waking up in the morning, going to sleep sometime during the night, and Lauren Brixton. She’s been his best friend since grade school, and what they have is the only relationship he’s managed not to ruin.
Until one drunken night puts that all in jeopardy.
Lauren’s watched Steven flit from one-night stand to one-night stand, seemingly not interested in something more. So when the long-ignored attraction between the two of them blows up in their faces, she does the only thing she can—she pretends she doesn’t want him. But all’s fair in love and war, and Steven’s not about to lose the only person in his life who matters…
Letting out a
frustrated breath, she rose on her knees and gripped the bottom of her tank.
She lifted it slowly, baring inches of skin at a time, but not nearly enough.
He held his breath. As
much of his body as she’d seen, he hadn’t seen anything on hers that
wasn’t normally covered by clothes. A bikini, at the least.
She could literally
cut her clothes off of her with a pair of scissors, and it would still be the
sexiest thing he’d ever seen. By the time the bottom swells of her tits peeked
out, he clenched his fists and his breaths came out erratically. He’d never
needed to see an article of clothing removed as much as he did right now. “Lauren.”
She lowered it, hiding
her breasts from him again. At first, it appeared to be a slip of the hand, but
then she smirked and batted her lashes. “Yes...?”
“Take. It. Off.”
She let it fall back
into place, hiding all her delicious skin from him again, and cocked her head
to the side. “Make me.”
He growled, forgetting
his command for her to strip, and all the reasons why he had to treat this like
every other one- night stand he ever had. He was supposed to be in control of
this whole affair, and yet he didn’t feel in control. At all.
She tried to scoot backward on the bed, away
from him, but she was too slow. He easily caught up to her, grabbed her ankle,
and yanked until she lay flat on her back. Her hair splayed across the bed,
like some kind of brunette halo, and she watched him. His breath jammed in his
throat. Her glowing blue eyes were filled with so much life, passion, need, and
so much more he couldn’t even begin to describe.
