Page 17 of Her New Bodyguard: Colton

This was my moment. I couldn't continue being my quiet self. I had to be honest with the gorgeous man who was clearly everything I've ever wanted and needed.

Wrapping my arms around his shoulders, I brought my lips to his ear. "My inner voice is telling me that I should take advantage of this situation, and attempt to seduce you. To get to know you…completely."

Strong hands traveled up my back, making me melt. "You want to seduce me?" he murmured.

"Yes."

Colton's lips slowly drifted down the side of my throat. "We just had a wonderful romantic dinner. We're at an isolated cabin. There's a soft, thick rug in front of a roaring fire."

"It sounds like you've already taken care of most of the seduction," I said.

"You're right." He sat back. "I guess it's your turn."

For a second, I hesitated, watching as the firelight danced in his eyes. He was so beautiful, so sexy. Every worry simply melted away.

As I began to slowly pull off my t-shirt, I realized that I was shedding my boring former life.

I was starting a new chapter. One where I was an independent woman that was going to live on her own, and have a sexy boyfriend.

And attempt an awkward striptease to seduce him.
