Free Sarah's Seduction by Lora Leigh

back? The door closed on her question. Reaching behind her, she pulled the seat belt forward, clipping it with a jerky, tense movement.
    “You are not moving in with me, Brock August,” she bit out as he jumped into the jeep.
    She watched his hands tighten on the wheel, then they relaxed and he was closing his door, fastening his own seat belt and starting up the vehicle.
    “I don’t recall asking to.” His voice was smooth as honey, but he couldn’t hide the underlying edge of tension.
    “I have a feeling you rarely ask for anything,” she grumped, settling against the seat as he drove towards her small house. “I bet you just walk right in and take over when you want something.”
    She noticed the shuttered glance he gave her; despite the fact he appeared to be trying to hide it.
    “Is there another way to do it?” he asked her, grinning as he navigated trough the sparse traffic of Madison’s main city street.
    Sarah rolled her eyes.
    “Why haven’t I heard about this dominant streak of yours before now?” she asked him testily. “None of your other women complained about it.”
    He shot her a surprised glance.
    “What the hell are you talking about?” His forced laughter was a bit strained. Sarah looked at him mockingly.
    “You think your other women haven’t talked over the years?” she asked him softly.
    “Gossip makes the world go around, Brock.”
    “Hm. Cade says money does that.” He stared straight ahead. Lora Leigh

    Sarah hid her own nervousness now. She could tell that the subject of gossip bothered him. It made her wonder how many of the rumors were really true. Were the ones that had caused her the most concern years before more than just talk?
    He took a deep breath.
    “Which rumors are you talking about, Sarah?” He seemed to clear his throat. Nervousness didn’t sit well on him, so it was easy to read as it crossed his expression. Sarah wasn’t certain she wanted to go any further with this now. She shrugged, staring out the windshield, wishing she hadn’t said anything. There was obviously something Brock was concerned about her hearing. Did she really want to know the truth about the dark tales? She decided quickly that she didn’t. There were some things a woman just couldn’t handle after a night like the one she had spent with Brock.
    “Nothing.” She shook her head, refusing to glance over at him. “So why do you have to return to the ranch, then come back here?”
    It didn’t make sense to her. She thought she knew everything there was to know about Brock August, but the man sitting beside her in the vehicle was nothing like the man she thought she knew.
    He glanced at her, his expression considering.
    “You aren’t staying the night.” Sarah crossed her arms over her breasts. Enough was enough. “It’s bad enough you kidnapped me last night, but this is ridiculous.”
    “Kidnapped you?” He grinned over at her, the sexy quirk of his lips making her heart race. “I didn’t kidnap you, honey, I rescued you.”
    “Rescued me?” She harrumphed. “That wasn’t a rescue, Brock, and you know it. You kidnapped and seduced me.”
    She fought the blush rising to her cheeks at the thought of the night she had spent in his arms. He hadn’t just made her scream during that stolen hour in the jeep. He had awakened her once again before reaching the ranch, his hot erection easing into her with a slow measured thrust, and within minutes had her screaming again. She had barely had the strength to walk into the ranch house and up to his room. He had carried her though, his lips moving over hers, his tongue mating with her mouth as he stumbled his way to his room where he drove her higher, taking her breath, stealing her will as he forced the harsh cries of completion from her there as well. Her throat was raspy this morning, her body pleasantly sore.
    “Did you get the pills?” he suddenly asked her, his voice incredibly husky and hot. Sarah’s
