Free Seduction: Book 4 (Strong Young Women Series) by Joyce Jordan

don’t you go and be with Kelly?”
    Rafe grimaced. “That’s a negative. I need to be at work. Stay busy. Besides we have a business to run.”
    Nate smiled, the first smile since lunch at Eva’s house. “She chased you out of your own home, didn’t she? I just might go and kiss her right this minute.”
    “In a way.”
    “You wan’t to explain that?”
    “She’s ah, ah…”
    “Very eloquent, bro.”
    “She’s trying to seduce me, okay. Happy now,” Rafe said and now it was his turn to look out of the windows.
    Nate laughed. “And that’s a problem because…?”
    “She’s still under doctor’s orders to rest.”
    Nate laughed. “I see.” Then the implication really hit him and he laughed hard. “Ah, my little bro is sexually frustrated.” He grinned and grinned even wider when he saw Rafe’s frustrated face. “So you ran away. What a coward.”
    Rafe shook his head. “There is only so much a man can do when a woman goes to war. It all started with the sexy swimwear she wore on Saturday. You remember that Nate? Jes was pulled into it, I think. Anyway, tell me what you would do i f you kept being bombarded with…that.”
    “She’s parading the swimsuit to you?” he asked with shock.
    “No, it’s worse,” he said and groaned. “I won’t bore you with the details, but she’s parading herself in other barely there attire. She knows I can’t touch her.”
    “You won’t touch her.”
    “Can’t. Doctor’s orders. And she’s taking full advantage of that little fact.”
    “Not so little if she’s having a grown man run out of his ow n home.”
    “Just a temporary set back. I just need to lay low until I find a wa y to turn the tables because no way am I losing. I can’t afford to.”
    “This is getting better and better. What happens to the loser?”
    “The loser get to be t…” Rafe shook his head. “Sorry, bro.” He shook his head. “Can’t tell you that,” he said and started making his way towards the door. “Let’s just say, I can’t be on the losing side.”
    “Well, thanks for brightening my morning anyway.”
    Nate watched his door close and hoped it would remain that way until his meeting with Jes. He still intended on going on with that party. And she was damn going to organize it. After that he hoped he didn’t see her ever again. Nate sat in his chair feeling a little better. “Ah shit. The wedding,” he said to his empty office.
    Just when he thought he was in the clear and things were looking up.
    “Romano,” the voice on the phone answered when Nate’s call was picked up.
    “Listen. It’s Nate. I didn’t receive a call last night. Can you tell me what’s going on?”
    “Ken and I just took over. But the report from last night says she didn’t leave the house. In fact she’s still there. Do you have other instructions?”
    “No. Not yet anyway. Just keep on her,” he said and hung up.
    Nate swore as he looked at the time again. It was already eight. What was she still doing in there? He prepared for his eight thirty meeting. At least it was only half an hour long. Although an hour was the norm for a meeting, he just didn’t think he was up to that today.
    Ten minutes into the meeting he barked into his phone. He was irritated with Jes and now he was taking it out on everyone.
    “It’s Chris. Ms. London is on the move.”
    Nate stood up and walked out to a private area. “Where is she going?”
    “She just got into her car and we are following her. But we don’t know where her destination is right now. Although my best guess would be her house,” Chris replied.
    “ If she’s coming into the city, just follow her. But if she stops at her house, give her a ride. And let me know once you’re on your way.”
    “Acknowledged,” Chris said and hung up.
    Nate returned to the conference room to attend the remaining fifteen minutes of the meeting. Not that he heard anything. It would have been better if he had just gone back to his office. He
