Tempted by the Soldier (A Falling for You Novel) (Entangled Brazen) by Nicolette Day

forward. Gravel crunched under the tires and he jerked the vehicle back onto the road.
    When he finally regained full control of the truck, he exhaled a shaky breath, and said, “Why the hell did you tell me to watch out, anyway?”
    “You almost ran over a turtle crossing the road.” Her muffled voice rose from his lap.
    “A turtle? You almost got us killed for a turtle ?”
    She reached up and tugged on her hair, and he glanced down to see what was taking her so damn long.
    “You would have killed it! What if it had babies it was trying to get back to?”
    She was insane. Certifiably in-fucking-sane. He opened his mouth to tell her so, but before he could speak, sirens blared. Red and blue flashing lights reflected from the rearview mirror. Son of a bitch . “Lil…you might want to get up now.”
    “I’m trying.” She wiggled, pulling her head up from his lap, and stopped. “Oh, no.”
    She tugged on her hair again and he eased off to the side of the road, thankful to have control of the brakes again. “I’m not fucking around, Lilly. I’m getting pulled over. By the cops .”
    “My hair is stuck,” she squeaked.
    Her face dropped back onto his thigh and he slammed the gear into park. “In what?”
    “Your zipper!”
    She slid forward, trying a different angle. Her mouth grazed the inside of his thigh and his cock twitched. He gripped the steering wheel. “Less moving, Lil. Way less moving.”
    She gasped. “Oh, my God. Are you—”
    Hard as a fucking oak? Yes. Yes, he was.
    “Jesus, Lilly! I’ll explain the inner workings of the male anatomy to you later. Can you just sit the hell up?”
    He watched the cop cautiously approach the driver’s side of the car and cursed under his breath. How the hell was he going to explain this? Of all the times he’d imagined Lilly’s lips so close to his cock, this particular scenario had not been in any of his fantasies.
    “Afternoon, Officer.” Nate smiled at the highway patrolman who approached the window, sliding his sunglasses down his nose as rain poured off the brim of his hat. He did not look amused. “It’s not what it looks like.”
    The cop leaned in to survey the situation. A look of instant recognition lit up his face when he lifted his gaze to Nate.
    “Nate Jennings?” A smile split his face as he tucked his sunglasses in his pocket. “Never thought I’d see you again. Especially not like this.”
    Nate squinted at the familiar face, scrambling for a name. “Wyatt?”
    Damn it! He was still an hour outside the Cedar Springs city limits and already he was running into people he knew.
    “Oh, my God,” Lilly groaned into his lap. “Please tell me you don’t know him.”
    Nate rested his hand on her hip and leaned back. “Lilly Grayson, meet Wyatt Sutton. We went to high school together.”
    “Does he have a gun?” Lilly asked. “Just tell him to shoot me now. I’m totally fine with that.”
    Wyatt peered into the car and laughed. “Do I even want to ask?”
    Nate sighed. “I swerved to miss an animal back in the road and my coffee cup fell onto the floorboard. It rolled under the brake pedal. She was trying to get it and—”
    “And my hair got stuck in his zipper. Okay?” she snapped. “Now that we’re all caught up on the situation, can we go back to discussing putting me out of my misery?”
    Wyatt laughed. “Well, I can’t give you the gun, but I do have something else that might be able to help you out.”
    …
    “Well, that could have gone worse.” Nate sighed and tossed his sunglasses onto the dashboard, watching Wyatt’s police cruiser disappear through the heavy sheet of rain. “At least he was amused. Got us out of a ticket.”
    Lilly inspected her hair in the mirror and tried not to cry. “Are you serious? You cut off my hair with his pocketknife! And you know him! How in God’s name could that have gone any worse?”
    “Your hair will grow back.” Nate leaned down to inspect his leg and let out a hiss
