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…
EXCERPT from Say You're Mine:
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.
