Finally Revealing the Seductress Within
He didn’t give her any chance to escape or make excuses.

Caroline, dizzy from being shoved into the car, scrambled upright. “This car is way too fancy for me. Just let me out, I’ll take the bus.”
No way was she going to arrive at Ellison Group in the same car as David. That would immediately make her the center of attention.
She had no intention of publicly embracing the title of Mrs. Ellison.
“I told you to sit, so sit.”
“I don’t want to.
David crossed one leg over the other and folded his arms. “What’s with the act? Playing hard to get? Seduction through resistance?”
Caroline was speechless.
How many times do I have to explain that I’m not interested in him?
Meeting Ms. Harper at the orphanage had been pure coincidence.
Why won’t he believe me?
“You’re right. You’ve figured it all out,” Caroline said, suddenly shifting her tone into exaggerated sweetness. “Mr. Ellison, you’re so smart. You’ve seen right through me.”

David’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he spoke in a low, raspy voice. “Finally revealing the seductress within. huh?”
Though his face remained calm, something inside him stirred.
This woman was unpredictable–her clear, innocent eyes betrayed a sly cunning, and she always defied expectations.
David had to admit that his curiosity about Caroline was growing
No other woman had ever made him feel this way.
Not even Elizabeth, despite their night together.
Caroline began to panic, unsure of what to say. Did I really just play with fire and end up burning myself?
David’s intense gaze felt as though it might consume her.
Seriously? Men are this easily tempted? I barely did anything
“Scared? Seeing her hesitation, David tightened his grip on her waist. “Too late for that.”
He leaned forward, inch by inch.
Caroline instinctively leaned back, retreating further.
Their lips were about to touch when…
Knock, knock, knock–someone tapped on the car window.
