Dangerous Surrender by Carrie Kelly Read Free Book Online

can’t go back? What about the plane ride home? And what government agency?” My voice rose with each question. “The CIA? What?”
    “Shh,” Jack said and put a finger to my lips. “I can’t tell you whom I work for, Mattie. All I can say is I’m sorry. I had no idea I’d be compromised like that.”
    Pouting, I wrapped a piece of gauze around his arm tighter than necessary. “Does Cheryl know?”
    “No. My identity is supposed to be secret from everyone, even my family.”
    “So you agreed to go on this trip for me so you could spy on some human traffickers?” Talk about a buzz kill! It had nothing to do with concern for my well-being. Or maybe even honest to god attraction! How could I be so stupid!
    Jack sighed. “No, Mattie. I agreed to go because I knew you’d never back down. If I hadn’t offered to come with you’d have gone on your own. You think you wouldn’t, but you're a stubborn mule when you want to be.”
    I dropped my hands to my sides and scowled at him. “Right! So I’d be in more danger on my own than with a spy!”
    He gripped my shoulders, his palms hot against my flesh. “Yes. I know too much about how these men work to trust them. I wanted to show you a good time and protect you. Why can’t you believe that?”
    “How am I supposed to believe anything you say when everything you are is a lie?” I shouted, surprising even myself.
    Jack studied me, his face set in stone. “Everything isn’t a lie, Mattie. I’m as honest as I can be. Did I protect you? Yes. Did I put your safety above all else? Yes. Now I’ll get you back to the U.S. as soon as I can.”
    My heart ached. Back to the U.S. and away from him . I frowned at the wooden floor. “How? My passport is back at your house.”
    All I had in my purse was my wallet, phone and spare lipstick. Talk about being prepared!
    Strong arms encompassed me, his rough cheek pressed into my forehead. “I’ll find a way, love. I’ll always find a way.”
    Trembling, I melted into his body – the heat of it calming my nerves. Then he leaned down and kissed me. His lips surged into mine with a passion I’d never felt. Like we only had this last moment together and he wanted to make it count.
    A shiver shot from my head to my toes, and I opened my mouth and gave into his powerful presence. I pressed my hands against his chest in an effort to push him away, but my arms didn’t have the strength to resist. Our tongues flicked together, tasting and teasing, as our lips sizzled.
    Without a word, he lowered the zipper on my dress. Rough fingers slid down my back, pulling the silk bodice down with it.
    “Jack,” I said and tried to keep my dress up. If he saw me now, naked in the cruel morning light, he’d never want me. Plus, I hadn’t really forgiven him yet.
    He persisted, yanking the smooth fabric over my hips and pushing me against the wall. Lips found purchase on my neck and trailed down my chest as his hands cupped my breasts like they were some kind of prize.
    “Lovely, Mattie,” he groaned and took my right nipple in his mouth.
    I gasped as tongue and teeth licked and pulled at the tender nub, tangling my fingers in his hair. The bare wood was smooth enough that it didn’t scrape my skin as I leaned into it. His palms blazed over my full hips and he grabbed my butt.
    “Why are you doing this?” I moaned.
    Instead of answering, his fingers gripped my panties and pulled them over my full hips, leaving them to pool on the floor. Lips trailed down my stomach, and he yanked my legs wide.
    I squeezed them back together. He was just trying to seduce me into forgetting everything he’d lied about. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t give in to him like that.
     But he was too strong. His fingers pulled and pried until my full thighs popped open, revealing my sex.
    “Let me taste you,” he breathed and leaned into my aching mound.
    The first flick of his tongue, rough and wet, set shivers of sheer ecstasy through my veins. I nearly
