A Major Seduction (13 page)

She looked guilty. And highly aroused.

His heart rate increased. He wanted nothing more than to
push her up against the wall, to plunge in and out of her until he had her
screaming his name and coming all over him. But he’d made enough mistakes for
one night. One more wrong step toward her and he chanced ruining something he
finally had an opportunity to pursue.

With a heavy heart, he forced himself to ease away from her.
“You know, it’s late, and we both need rest. What do you say we sleep on it and
decide what to do about this tomorrow? I’ll take the couch.” Thoughts of the
short couch made him want to groan, but he resolved to suck it up. A Marine
credo rang in his mind—
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
. No, the
couch wouldn’t kill him, but it wouldn’t help his aching body any. The last
time he’d fallen asleep on the thing he’d been kinked up for a week. And that
was without the hard-on from hell.

“It doesn’t seem right.” She shook her head, raven-black
hair flowing like silk over her shoulders. “You said you just got back
tonight?”

Her brows drew close with concern, the way he’d remembered
so often while staring at the ceiling of his small quarters aboard ship. Her
full lips parted, and her tongue darted out to lick her bottom lip.

Sweat broke out at thoughts of that tongue.

“No,” he said hoarsely. “I’ll take the couch. We’ll talk
tomorrow, okay?” He smiled and turned, awkwardly hiding his erection. Before
she could say any more, he stiffly left the kitchen and entered the living
room.

An hour later, he lay on the couch with his legs hanging off
the end, a wool blanket for warmth. But when he closed his eyes, visions of
Olivia naked mingled with memories of her sexual response. He closed a hand
around his turgid length and finally gave himself the respite he needed.
Minutes later, he fell into a deep sleep, dreams of Olivia warming him
throughout the night.

USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan’s Montgomery Ink Series

Ink Inspired

Shepard Montgomery loves the feel of a needle in his
hands, the ink that he lays on another, and the thrill he gets when his art is
finished, appreciated, and loved. At least that’s the way it used to be. Now
he’s struggling to figure out why he’s a tattoo artist at all as he wades
through the college frat boys and tourists who just want a thrill, not a
permanent reminder of their trip. Once he sees the Ice Princess walk through
Midnight Ink’s doors though, he knows he might just have found the inspiration
he needs.

Shea Little has spent her life listening to her family’s
desires. She went to the best schools, participated in the most proper of
social events, and almost married the man her family wanted for her. When she
ran from that and found a job she actually likes, she thought she’d rebelled
enough. Now though, she wants one more thing—only Shepard stands in the way.
She’ll not only have to let him learn more about her in order to get inked, but
find out what it means to be truly free.
