town?
No! Everyone knew when one of their guys went out of town. The townspeople all loved to gossip about what one of the guys was doing, where he might be going and what kinds of fabulous things were happening in that part of the world that they wouldn’t ever see. Of course, the people in Alaska weren’t necessarily those who had the travel bug. When one lived in the most amazing place in the world, why leave it?
So if Saeger were still here, would he even let her into his house?
She glanced down at the dress. It would certainly help. Maybe even get her in the door. Gone were all thoughts about stealing and everything inside of her was contemplating the hope that this dress could circumvent Saeger’s desire to keep his hands off of her. She wanted him, he wanted her. She just knew it!
Unfortunately, seducing a man when she’d never had sex before was going to be a challenge. How was one supposed to go about seducing a man? What should she do or say?
The note said that all she had to do was wear the dress and Saeger would take care of the rest. After the past few weeks of being around the man…and then not being around him…Tyla wasn’t so sure.
Would he admit it? Would he give in to the desire to make love with her? She’d felt his body the other day. She knew that he felt something for her, so what was holding him back? Why was he pulling away when they got too close? That stupid promise to Matt just didn’t make sense when they felt this strongly for each other.
She didn’t understand him at all! She should have dated a lot of men, but there hadn’t been anyone appealing in her small high school. And then her years in the Peace Corps, she’d spent most of her time trying to help people, and hadn’t allowed any men to even creep into her consciousness. Not that there had been many men that would have piqued her interest. There had been that one doctor… she’d kissed him but… nope. The spark hadn’t been there. They’d ended up good friends, and she still e-mailed him occasionally. He was with Doctors Without Borders now and, last time she’d spoken to him, he’d been in Kenya helping out some of the villagers. He was a good guy, but there hadn’t been any spark like what she felt like when Saeger had kissed her. With Saeger, there’d been fireworks! Volcanic eruptions!
She sighed and fell onto her bed, not sure what to do. As she stared up at the ceiling, she debated back and forth about her options. She felt almost sick to her stomach at the two choices. One, she could lose her brother, the only family she had left in the world. Two, she could steal from a man who had helped out so many families in the local community, and who had spent most of his life helping other families, who employed families all over the world. How much would this theft hurt those other families? Would someone lose their job because of the loss of this one invention?
But did Matt need to lose his life?
There really was no good answer.
Sitting up on the bed, she decided to leave things up to fate. If she could get the files, which she doubted she could, then she would do it and deal with the repercussions. If she couldn’t get the file, then she would figure out someone to call, someone to warn Matt that he was in danger. There had to be someone, some way to reach him that wouldn’t alert the bad guys that she was violating their rules.
An hour later, she’d showered and dried her hair, curled the ends slightly and applied a bit more makeup than usual. She was dressed in the red outfit, her feet stuffed into the sandals that were a bit too small for her feet and the dress, which was a size too small as well. Whoever had purchased this dress really had an optimistic opinion about her figure, she thought.
When she looked into the mirror, she was shocked at how the cut of the bodice made her breasts practically
