Free His By Sunrise: A Military Erotic Romance (Sexy Siesta Series Book 1) by Talina Perkins Page A

the sadistic details of Bougainvillea’s dark side. Not yet anyway. If she persisted, he’d have no choice though.
    He snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her deeper into his embrace. “But we can talk about that later,” he said, leaning in to her ear.
    Her shoulders relaxed, and her body molded to his. She felt so damn good. Her nearness made his head spin with pent-up desire. He pulled her scent down into his lungs, desperate for more—so intoxicating he could get drunk.
    Her capitulation didn’t fool him for a second. It would take a lot more than a simple apology from him to ease her anger.
    She pulled away, hiding her face from him. He caught her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
    There was no hiding the stress evident in the dark shadows beneath her eyes. His fingers itched to ease into the loose, wavy length of her hair and let his touch coax the truth behind tonight’s mess out of her.
    She pushed his hand away. “Listen, I know you mean well…” She let out a sigh powerful enough to damn near send him to his knees. Something was wrong, and he was going to find out what. “You know, never mind. I have to go.”
    No way in hell she was shoving him to the side.
    “Not a chance, babe. You’re coming with me.” She glared at him and he quickly corrected himself. “Please? I want to show you something.”
    She raised her gaze level with his in question. He could almost see the war going on inside her head. She wanted to go with him, but something was holding her back. He grinned and pulled out all the stops. “We’re in a paradise, baby. It’d be a shame to miss out on the tequila and sunset.” He tentatively took her hand in his then brushed his lips across the soft, delicate skin answering one of his previous questions. The exotic, fruity smell lingered on her skin from her morning shower, no doubt. He couldn’t wait to help her with her next and maybe she would let him wash her with the tantalizing soap that tingled his senses. “Let me make it up to you, Ema.”
    She gave a charming little lift to the corner of her mouth. That was something in the positive direction. “Fine, I could use a few minutes to clear my head before heading back to San Diego anyway.”
    No way he’d let her out of his sight, much less make the long ass drive alone tonight. The sun was already dipping below the horizon. Once he had her to himself, all bets were off. He’d leave that little detail for her to figure out on her own though. For now, he’d enjoy a moment with her and the sunset. And if he worked it right, and a miracle happened, he might even get the chance to soften her heart to his charms for an all-night kind of kiss.
    “Let me grab this.” Gabriel snatched the tequila bottle on the abandoned table along with two normal shot glasses. Thank God for small miracles . Now, to see how fast he could devise a plan that would have Ema opening up to him…in and out of bed.
