SEDUCE ME by Kelly Elliott
What happens when you’re forced to seduce the one person you vowed never to love?
You get screwed … in more than one way.
I walked out of Tucker Middleton’s bedroom seven years ago, leaving him hurt and angry. Now I need his help; the only way I can get it, is to make him think I want him back.
The only problem is we have silently vowed to hate one another for the rest of our lives. In order to get Tucker to help me—I have to seduce him.
Easy right?
Hell yes! I’m the CEO of CMI Consulting. If I set my mind to something, I make it happen.
Charleston Monroe is playing me for a fool. If she believes for one second I’m going to let her walk into my life to help her save the very job that ripped her away from me, she’s got another thing coming.
She thinks she can seduce me, and I let her believe she can. After all, I’m getting what I’ve always wanted.
Her.
Caution: This story contains crazy hot sex, and one shaved pussy.
EXCERPT
Rolling over, I pulled the covers over
my head and moaned.
“Oh shit,” I whispered. Even my
whispered words hurt my head. I hadn’t drunk like that in a long time.
Note to self:
Give up alcohol. Except wine. Wait. No. Never ever give up wine.
With my head still buried, I tried to
think back to last night. The last thing I remembered was talking to that guy .
. . Brad. No Billy.
Bobby? Brady?
Who cares? I need aspirin.
I pushed the covers over my head and
went to get out of bed. I froze when I saw the sheets.
Oh. My. God.
These aren’t my sheets.
Turning, I looked at the bed.
This isn’t my bed.
Glancing down, I gasped.
I’m not wearing any clothes.
Covering my mouth, I jumped up. “I
didn’t. Oh God, please tell me
I didn’t. Terri! I’m going to kill
her.”
Frantically looking around, I saw my
purse on the chair in the corner.
Rushing over to it, I dug through it
until I found my phone.
As I waited for that whore to answer
her phone, I mumbled, “She broke the number one girlfriend code. Don’t let your
friend leave with a guy when they’re drunk!”
“Hey, girl! So? Did you get laid like
you wanted? Please tell me yes
’cause this would make a great story.”
My heart jumped to my throat as a
small sound came from my lips.
“Wh-what? Why? How could you? You let
me go off with him? What if he had killed me!”
She laughed. “Hardly. But then again,
you do drive him up a wall, and he has mentioned snuffing you out a time or
two.”
My finger and thumb went to the bridge
of my nose. “What are you talking about?”
Terri muffled the phone, then laughed.
“Hello? Terri! I’m at a strange man’s house, I don’t remember anything, and I’m
naked.”
“Wait. You’re naked?”
“Yes!”
“Oh, wow. Shit just got really
interesting. Where’s Tucker?”
Tucker? How in the hell would I know
where Tucker was?
“I don’t know! I don’t care. Terri. I
don’t know where I am. He could come back any minute, and I’m standing here
naked. Oh my God.
Do you think I had sex with him?”
“Do you feel like you had sex?”
Stopping, I jumped around a bit. “No.
I’d be sore if I did, right?
Fuck if I know, it’s been so long.”
Terri sighed. “It really has been that
long. You’ve done forgotten how it feels, huh?”
“Aww, hell, Mr. Pootie!”
“I’m sure he’s fine. Let’s get back to
what happened between you and Tucker last night.”
I shook my head as I glanced around
the room for my clothes.
Dropping to my knees, I looked under
the bed.
“Why are we talking about Tucker? I
have bigger problems.”
Then I heard a male voice clear his
throat.
“Oh God,” I whispered. “He’s in the
room, Terri. I’m naked! I can’t find my clothes.”
Terri laughed. “Okay, well, have fun.
Tell Tucker I said hey.”
My brows furrowed, and I was about to
say something when the line went dead.
It was then I felt the change in the
room, and everything from last night came crashing back into my poor brain,
causing my head to pound harder.
Slowly lifting up, I peered over the
bed, only to find Tucker leaning up against the doorjamb. He wore a shit-eating
grin on his face, and fuck me, he looked so gorgeous.
Oh no.
I swallowed hard. “Um . . . I can’t,
um. Well, it appears I am . . . you see, I can’t find my, ahh . . . the dress I
had on.”
Jesus. Why do I act like an idiot
around him? Why!
“Your clothes had throw up on them.
They’re almost dry.”
My stomach dropped. “Did we . . . ?”
He smiled. Full on dimples and all.
God, I want him. Even in my current
hungover condition, I’ve never wanted this man more than right now.
Wait. No. I don’t!
Yes . . . yes, you do.
Crap. What if I already had him? And I
don’t remember. I’m going to be so pissed off if we had sex and I don’t
remember it.
“No, we didn’t sleep together, and for
the record, you got yourself undressed.”
Relaxing, I let out the breath I
didn’t realize I held in.
Kim's 5 Star Review
Charleston (Charlie) Monroe has
been groomed to take over the family business.
Her father has set such high expectation of her that she did whatever
she could to keep him happy and that included walking away for the one man she
actually cared about, Tucker Middleton.
With the unexpected passing of her parents and her grandfather’s ancient
ideals, Charlie finds herself in a bind.
Now that she needs help to get control of the family business, she
realizes that best person to help her out is the one she waked away from.
I was gifted this book in
exchanged for an honest review
Charlie has always known who she
is and what she wants. She has spent her whole life doing what is expected of
her with one goal in mind, to run the family business. She is a strong
confident woman who will do anything for the people she cares about, that
includes walking away from the one man she could see a future with. Now that her
parents are gone, Charlie is expecting to finally take over the business. She
is confident that she can handle this and the people around her until she find
out the one thing she doesn’t have is the one thing she needs to run the
business, a husband.
Tucker knew what he wanted and
when he finally got the woman he was falling in love with, she snuck out on him
and left him a note saying that it was a mistake. Even though years have passed he is still in
love with Charlie but anger and resentment is still there. He knows what buttons to push when she’s
around and loves keeping her on her toes. Tucker is the epitome of alpha male
with a whole lot of stubbornness.
Charlie may have hurt his pride in the past but when he finds out what
she was planning he comes up with his own plan to get her back.
When Tucker and Charlie are in
the same room, anyone can feel the sexual tension between them. They may pretend to hate each other but that
is just the lie they keep telling themselves.
Their friends know that they are meant for each other, too bad they
don’t see. Just when you think these two
are getting their stuff together, they turn around and do the opposite. They put each other on an emotional roller
coaster that doesn’t seem to end. I
can’t count how many times I was frustrated with these two they are both stubborn
and pig headed. I wanted to reach into
the book and slap Tucker upside the head more than once. As for Charlie I wants to give her a shake
and tell her to take her head out of her butt.
Just when I thought they were
finally getting it together it takes a turn I never saw coming. Kelly keeps her readers on their toes with
this book. Just when I thought I had it
all figured out, Kelly throw a twist into the story that had me up pacing the
flooring while I was reading. I was rooting for Tucker and Charlie to get
together but I wasn’t sure that could ever happen with how hurt both of them
were. Add in the drama from their other
friends and I was sure these two would turn into cynics when it comes to love.
Kelly is an amazingly gifted writer and I haven’t read a book of hers that I
didn’t love. This book is a great start to the Austin Singles Series and has me
hooked and ready for the next book.
