Seduced in Secret Read Online Free

dozen times I didn’t love him. Lately, I’ve been thinking the same thing and…” She stopped and looked away, a blush settling over her cheeks.
    He studied her for a minute, running his tongue across his teeth.
    Then he headed into the kitchen. He rummaged through it and came out with a bottle of beer. Twisting off the cap, he sent it spinning through the air, hitting the trashcan dead center. Slowly, he looked back at her.
    She had her arms wrapped around her middle.
    And she was still blushing.
    “Is it because you figured it out?” he asked, dread knotting inside him. “Or because your secret admirer got inside your head?”
    What’s it matter?
    Tessa slid him an odd look, clearly puzzled. “You know, you’ve been on me for months to wisen up over Tyson. Now I have.” She made a show of scratching her head. “But unless I’m imagining things, it almost sounds like you’re irritated .”
    Now, head cocked, she lifted her cider to her lips and took a drink, staring at him, a dare in her eyes.
    “What gives?” she asked after she lowered her bottle.
    Blowing out a breath, Caleb stood there. He couldn’t answer her. Not for the life of him.

    Tessa had left.
    Alone in the quiet of his house, he locked himself in his bathroom, taking another beer with him. He was hot and tired; the muscles in his leg screamed and his back on fire from the exertion. They hadn’t bothered him earlier, but he knew the kind of tricks the mind could play on a guy. Now that he wasn’t distracted by Tessa, now that he was alone, now that he was brooding, the physical pain was going to creep up on him.
    He’d spent nine months renovating the house and getting it the way he wanted, and the bulk of that had been focused on the kitchen, the bedroom and the master bath. The sunken tub had provided untold relief for his messed up back and the heat from the shower jets soothed the muscles he continued to abuse.
    Now, with his shoulders braced against the wall, he closed his eyes and let the water beat down around him as he thought about Tessa.
    She’d given the ring back.
    She had seemed…fine.
    Almost happy, really.
    No strain in her eyes and no tension lingering to stiffen her shoulders.
    Happy, her soft mouth smiling…
    Her mouth.
    Caleb groaned and tipped his bottle back, taking another deep drink. He didn’t need to think about her mouth.
    Although how could he not?
    Absently, he put his beer down on the built-in shelf.
    His cock pulsed and he closed his hand around it, his thoughts still centered on Tessa and her mouth. Her smile. Fisting his hand around his penis, he drew it up, then down. His cock jerked demandingly, his balls drawing up.
    Here he was again, about to jack off again, while he held a picture of her in his mind. It was familiar territory, something he’d been doing since he was…hell. He couldn’t even remember how old he’d been the first time he fantasized about the pretty blonde across the street. Too young. But old enough to know she was the one he wanted. Pumping his hand up and down, the engorged head of his cock bobbed in time with his movements; he pictured her spread out on his bed.
    Naked.
    Her hands tied.
    Tessa would like that.
    It was beyond fucked up that he knew that, but he did and the knowledge tormented him.
    He knew way too much about her reading material, and way too much about the things she fantasized about. All the things he wanted to do with her, she was already dreaming of having somebody do them.
    He’d fist his hands around the rope stretching between her bound wrists, stare down in her wide, hungry eyes, and come inside her.
    She’d moan.
    She’d shudder and wrap her legs around him.
    “Soon,” he muttered and then he shuddered as he started to come, his cock jerking. The shower washed the semen away and he stared through the spray of water.

Chapter Three
    You haven’t called.
    No.
    I got your letter.
    I know.
    Cellphone in hand, Tessa chewed on her lip and read the
