Read Online Dance of Seduction by Elle Kennedy - Free Book Online Page B

and start pounding someone. Exactly the reaction she’d hoped for. Jealousy was a powerful emotion and she was banking on it to help her plight. She needed Luke so consumed with jealousy that he acted on his attraction. Of course, acting on it would scare the crap out of him, he’d panic, throw in a quick you’re Josh’s sister , and leave town. Hopefully.
    “Yeah, I guess he’s gorgeous,” she agreed. Grudgingly. “If you like the cranky type.”
    “Oh, I like.” Miguel leaned forward and clasped her hand with his. He stroked her fingers and offered a seductive grin. “I could just eat him up.”
    She laughed, eyes twinkling with mischief. “What about Ricardo?”
    Ah, Ricardo. Miguel had gushed so much about his significant other during the car ride over that Ellie felt as if she knew everything there was to know about Ricardo Diaz. He was twenty-nine, worked on a factory assembly line, was apparently drop-dead gorgeous, and Miguel was absolutely crazy about him. Ellie’s date had spoken about his boyfriend with such passion and adoration that she’d felt a pang of envy.
    When was the last time she’d felt that way about another person?
    “Ricardo and I have an agreement. We’re allowed to window-shop. Going into the store is another matter.” Miguel chuckled. “But trust me, if I wasn’t taken, I’d buy out your friend’s store.”
    Ellie rolled her eyes and then snuck a look in Luke’s direction. She turned her head before their gazes could meet, but his furious expression had been unmistakable. When she glanced back at Miguel, he was watching her knowingly.
    “You totally want this guy, don’t you?”
    She sighed. “It’s that obvious?”
    “Yes.”
    Her sigh turned into a low groan. “I always had a crush on him, you know? But he constantly treated me like a kid. He still treats me that way now. He thinks he can snap his fingers and I’ll get on a plane like an obedient child.”
    “He’s your brother’s best friend, right?” When she nodded Miguel shrugged. “So tell your brother to call the guy off.”
    A burst of laughter shot out of her mouth. “My brother is the one who sent him.”
    Miguel paused. “Oh. Then tell bro to back off.”
    “Have you ever tried arguing with a lawyer?” She was about to say more when the back of her neck suddenly began to throb. Heat penetrated into her skin, as if someone had placed a heater at full blast behind her. Suppressing a groan, she turned her head again and found Luke glaring at her from across the room. How did he do that, manage to warm her skin even from ten feet away?
    “Is your friend going to stare at us like that all night?” Miguel’s voice contained a twinge of amusement.
    “Probably.”
    “Then let’s give him something to really get grumpy about.” Miguel wiggled his dark brows and shot an impish smile in her direction. “Would you like to dance?”
     
     
    Josh watched as Vivian replaced the cordless phone in its cradle and reached up to tuck a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. She shot him a smile and his cock hardened. Damn it, how did she do that? He’d been with many women, but he couldn’t remember the last time he’d gotten so aroused from just one smile.
    “Your sister is just fine,” Vivian announced, tossing her hair over her slender shoulders. She crossed the living room with sexy little strides and sank onto the armchair across from his. “And I want you to know, that’s the last time I’ll check up on her for you.”
    Check up on who? Oh, right, Ellie. Josh was suddenly distracted as he watched Viv lift a hand to her ear. She twirled the little gold hoop earring she wore, worrying her luscious bottom lip with her teeth at the same time.
    She looked as preoccupied as he felt, and he knew why. It was that damn sexual tension. That loud crackling static that hissed through the air, growing louder the moment their eyes met. He wanted Vivian. He wanted to kiss her and touch her and fuck her all night
