Project Terminal: End Game Read Online Free Page A

to her knee. Testing the waters like an insecure teenager would, and she knew she needed to give him the brush-off like she always did. Put him back in his place as the despicable man she considered him to be. Though she couldn’t remember why he was despicable, not at the moment. She looked to his hand, his long fingers wrapped around her knee, his broad palm heating her skin. He had big hands, capable hands. Hands that promised many things to a body starved for physical attention.
    Other than being a terrible flirt, she couldn’t recall him dating while in Project Terminal. Or putting the moves on any other woman but her, despite the fact Doc seemed to have had her eye on him for a short time. Then again, she’d had her eye on many of the super soldiers in the project.
    Reed had been much worse than Morris, only taming down after he’d started not so-secretly seeing Max. Not that the project had been conducive to dating, doing so would’ve gotten you kicked out.
    She licked her lips, trying really hard to remember her reasons for hating Morris. When nothing came to her she blew out a breath, and as if reading her failed resolve, he moved in. The shock of his lips on hers made her gasp, but he clutched the back of her head, keeping her from moving away. The kiss was firm, pressing her to respond. She closed her eyes and moved into him, her hands finding his shoulders, digging her fingertips into the muscle. He growled, pushing her onto her back, covering her with his huge form as his tongue delved between her teeth. Pent-up sexual frustration came unleashed and she moaned, meeting his tongue. She ground her hips into his, feeling the hard ridge of his cock beneath his fatigues.
    “Oh fuck, darlin’, you’re testin’ me,” he groaned against her mouth, his Texas drawl more pronounced and the cold bucket of water she needed.
    She shoved at his chest, pushing him off to the side before scrambling away. She gulped air, trying to right a tipped world. His eyes were dark, doing nothing to quell the lust still raging through her system.
    “Don’t do that again,” she said, wishing her ragged voice sounded more determined.
    “I didn’t do anything you didn’t invite.” He looked ready to devour her whole. “Tell me why it’s such a bad idea, Amelia.”
    She struggled for a reasonable answer. “Because you’re a pig.”
    He leaned back against a tree, propping his forearms on his bent knees. “Why is that, because I’m attracted to you? What about finding you desirable makes me a pig?”
    He had her backed into a corner and she bristled. “I’m not that kind of woman.”
    A grin spread over his face. “The kind that doesn’t enjoy a good fuck?”
    She met his gaze head-on. “The kind who fucks.”
    He sucked his bottom lip between his teeth and nodded, before letting it slip free. She found herself transfixed by the seductive movement. “Understood.”
    She started to her feet, needing distance from the other soldier. Morris held up his hand and rose. “No, we need you at your best. Stay here, I’ll be right back with your shoes.”
    She didn’t object, not really wanting to damage her foot any further. If trouble showed up the last thing they needed was a lame super soldier.
    He took two steps before he turned back to her. “By the way, darlin’, I know how to make love to a woman too.”

    “You have to find out where they went!” Doc’s high-pitched outburst echoed in the lab.
    Carlton stood at attention, an imposing figure compared to the flabby General who stood next to him.
    “I’m on it, ma’am,” Carlton stated, his voice calm and controlled. “I’m going to hack into the city’s traffic cameras, question a few employees in convenience stores. I’ll find their trail.”
    “How the fuck did they ever get by you anyway?” Doc took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of her nose. “No, never mind. It doesn’t matter.”
    “Chances are wherever they are, your
