Quotes by Katie Reus

He didnt want to take advantage of her? Fine, shed take advantage of him.

Everything is falling into place perfectly. We have four dirty DEA agents working with a terrorist group and killing Americans on American soil. The headlines are going to write themselves and were going to get our candidate into the White House. When that happens, well get the war we want. The war we can win.

So, whose man parts are you setting on fire? he asked, quirking an eyebrow.... No one. I was just telling Belle about how I need to lose my virginity. Aaaaand, that did it. He froze, his arm dropping from Belles shoulders as he took a not very subtle step toward the entryway. I need to get the door. She picked up her tulip-shaped glass, fighting a grin. I didnt hear the doorbell.

Looking at Athena now, he couldnt believe hed been dumb enough to walk away from her. When hed realized how innocent she was it had freaked him out, to put it mildly. Had made him feel guilty for the dirty things hed said to her, wanted to do to her. With her ---

He nipped her bottom lip teasingly, his breath warm against her face, his spicy scent a total aphrodisiac. As he kissed a hot path along her jawline, she raked her fingers down his back. Whatever he had in mind, she was game.

How old are you exactly? The corner of his mouth curved up, the grin so ridiculously sexy it made butterflies take flight in her stomach. Thirty-two. Hmm, eight year difference. Not exactly robbing the cradle, but I think I might have to rethink this whole thing between us. She kept her voice light, teasing. He snorted and pinched her butt, making her yelp. Think all you want, Im not going anywhere.

Oh my God, youre such a guy! Im glad you noticed. The glint in his dark eyes was purely wicked.

Wyatt pushed out a rough breath. Youre going to make this no-sex thing impossible, arent you? She grinned and snagged another bite for herself. Not any more than youre going to make it for me.

If youre courting me, you have to tell me something about yourself that no one else knows. He was silent for a moment. Id rather jerk-off to thoughts of you than be with anyone else.

She raised an eyebrow. Youre very sure of yourself. When I want something, I go for it and I dont let anything stand in my way. He was silent for a moment as they stared at each other. She knew he was talking about more than the deal and damn her traitorous body, her nipples tightened at the thought of being on the receiving end of his pursuing nature.

This was definitely unchartered territory. Iris wasnt like other women. She was tough, sexy but didnt flaunt it, and she sure as hell didnt give a shit about his money. If anything it seemed to bother her. And now she was busy working as a bodyguard for him.

He shrugged those broad shoulders, drawing her gaze to them. She couldnt help but undress him with her eyes, remembering every hot inch of his naked body. Unfortunately he knew what she was doing. All you have to do is ask and Ill take my clothes off.

Iris arched her back, pushing her breast farther into Wyatts hungry mouth. Water from the giant marble-tiled hotel shower rushed down over them, the sound of it hitting the glass door seeming loud in the enclosure. He lightly pressed down with his teeth and tugged her nipple, sending a pulsing sweep of need through her. The man was too talented with his tongue.

Wyatt Christiansen is the client. Iris tensed at his words. Hearing Wyatts name from her boss completely threw her off balance. If Wyatt wanted to hire Red Stone that meant he needed extra security. She hated the thought of him in danger. Without giving her a chance to respond, Harrison barreled on. I dont like the idea of you guarding him, especially since I found out you two are fucking married. It goes against protocol, but...my father owes him a favor and hes apparently collecting.

That grip tightened again but this time he started rubbing his first two fingers against her neck in a soft little rhythm. The action was almost erotic. Or maybe that was just the effect he was having on her. She could feel his gentle stroking all the way to the pulsing point between her legs. Maybe she had mental issues that this man was turning her on.He leaned closer, skimming his mouth against her jawline and she froze. Just completely, utterly froze. “Are you meeting Tasev?” he whispered.She’d told herself to be prepared for this question, to keep her reaction under wraps, but he came to his own conclusion if his savage curse was anything to go by. Damn it, Wesley was going to be pissed at her, but Levi had been right. She had operational latitude right now and she needed to keep Levi close. They needed to know what he knew and what he was planning. Trying to shut him out now, when he was at the party specifically to meet the German, would be stupid. Levi had stayed off their radar for two years because he was good. Of course Wesley hadn’t exactly sent out a worldwide manhunt for him either. About a year ago he’d decided to more or less let him go.Now . . . “I met with the German earlier tonight. He squeezed me in before some of his other meetings.”Levi snorted, his gaze dipping to her lips once more, that hungry look in place again. It was so raw and in her face it was hard to ignore that kind of desire and what it was doing to her. “I can understand why.”Even though Levi didn’t ask she decided to use the latitude she had and bring him in on this. They had similar goals. She needed to bring Tasev down and rescue a very important scientist—if he was even the man who’d sent out an emergency message to Meghan/Wesley—but that didn’t mean she couldn’t let Levi have Tasev once she’d gotten what she needed. “I’m meeting with Tasev tomorrow night.”At her words every muscle in Levi’s lean, fit body stilled.Before he could respond, she continued, “I’ll make you a deal. You can come with me to the meeting—if we can work out an agreeable plan—but you don’t kill him until I get what I want. I have less than a week. Can you live with that time line?” She was allowed to bring one person with her to the meeting so it would be Levi—if he could be a professional and if Wesley went for it. And of course, if Tasev did. They had a lot to discuss before she was on board one hundred percent, but bringing along a seasoned agent—former agent—like Levi could be beneficial.Levi watched her carefully again, his gaze roaming over her face, as if he was trying to see into her mind. “You’re not lying. Why are you doing this?”“Because if I try to shut you out you’ll cause me more problems than I want to deal with. And I don’t want to kill you.”Those dark eyes narrowed a fraction with just a hint of amusement—as if he knew she couldn’t take him on physically. “And?

I lost one woman I loved. Im not losing another.

I was thinking... that this isnt casual for me.

For the first time in a long time he decided to trust that the woman next to him, who smelled like peaches and cream and made him think of nothing but sex, wasnt going to kill him in his sleep.

Levi watched her carefully again, his gaze roaming over her face, as if he was trying to see into her mind. Youre not lying. Why are you doing this?Because if I try to shut you out youll cause me more problems than I want to deal with. And I dont want to kill you.

Walk with me to the beach. We need privacy, he said quietly, his voice a seductive whisper against her ear.
