She was a mission

Duty

Nothing else

Dammit

LARA WONDERED HOW long a person could clench their teeth before their jaw exploded She didn’t need to see Castillo’s face to knoas still clenching Even his shoulder blades were tight She could alh their helmets

Okay, so she shouldn’t have blown off his warnings She should have waited, let hiuard She shouldn’t have run from the hotel like a hooker with his wallet buried in her bra She shouldn’t have given in to lust and had sex with him Not the first or second time

Hell, she shouldn’t have gotten out of bed that

It was all her fault

Her fault he was hurt

Her fault he’d had to, uy

Her fault for all the trouble he was going to be in

Did SEALs get in trouble for things like that?

He hadn’t acted as if he orried

Nope

He’d been an unemotional military machine

Except for the flash of fury she’d seen in his eyes before he’d turned away

No wonder

She’d used him

Sure, she could excuse herswan dive onto his body as a sleep-induced one down on her She’d been totally aware of what she had in her body when she came

She’d used the poor man for her own selfish pleasures

Over and over again

He’d made it clear she was a duty His mission

And she’d sneaked up and seduced him

No wonder he was so pissed

Even knowing she was pushing her luck, Lara couldn’t help but give in to the eainst Castillo’s leather-clad back Her body autoainst his warmth

She owed him She didn’t knoith what she’d pay him back Since all the ideas that caured she’d better keep thinking on it

SERIOUSLY?

How the hell was he supposed to pretend she was nothing nainst his chest?

He knew she wasn’t wearing a bra That the only things between his bare back and her rosy nipples were a couple layers of fabric
