If you wanted a peek at my dick I would have sent pictures, Levi growled.

You strip away every ounce of civility in me, Selene” - Levi

She wanted to know what it was like to be completely possessed by this man. Instead of scaring her, the thought sent the most erotic thrill racing through her. If she was stupid enough to sleep with him, she knew that things between them would end badly, but she wanted Levi in a way that defied logic, and probably her sanity, and she wanted everything he had to offer. Even if she got burned in the end.

You’re going to do great,” Lizzy said as they reached the mini Tiki bar. The air was cool in the high fifties and the scent of various meats on the grill filled the air. Even though they’d had the party catered, apparently Grant had insisted on grilling some things himself. “I wouldn’t have recommended you apply for it otherwise.”Athena ducked behind the bar and grinned at the array of bottles and other garnishes. She’d been friends with Lizzy the past couple months and knew her friend’s tastes by now. As she started mixing up their drinks she said, “If I fail, hopefully they won’t blame you.”Lizzy just snorted but eyed the drink mix curiously. “Purple?”“Just wait. You’ll like it.” She rolled the rims of the martini glasses in sugar as she spoke.“Where’d you learn to do this?”“I bartended a little in college and there were a few occasions on the job where I had to assist because staff called out sick for an event.” There’d been a huge festival in Madrid she’d helped out with a year ago where three of the staff had gotten food poisoning, so in addition to everything else she’d been in charge of, she’d had to help with drinks on and off. That had been such a chaotic, ridiculous job.“At least you’ll have something to fall back on if you do fail,” Lizzy teased.“I seriously hope not.” She set the two glasses on the bar and strained the purple concoction into them. With the twinkle lights strung up around the lanai and the ones glittering in the pool, the sugar seemed to sparkle around the rim. “This is called a wildcat.”“You have to make me one of those too!” The unfamiliar female voice made Athena look up.Her eyes widened as her gaze locked with Quinn freaking Brody, the too-sexy-man with an aversion to virgins. He was with the tall woman who’d just asked Athena to make a drink. But she had eyes only for Quinn. Her heart about jumped out of her chest. What was he doing here of all places? At least he looked just as surprised to see her.She ignored him because she knew if she stared into those dark eyes she’d lose the ability to speak and then she’d inevitably embarrass herself.The tall, built-like-a-goddess woman with pale blonde hair he was with smiled widely at Athena. “Only if you don’t mind,” she continued, nodding at the drinks. “They look so good.”“Ah, you can have this one. I made an extra for the lush here.” She tilted her head at Lizzy with a half-smile. Athena had planned to drink the second one herself but didn’t trust her hands not to shake if she made another. She couldn’t believe Quinn was standing right in front of her, looking all casual and annoyingly sexy in dark jeans and a long-sleeved sweater shoved up to his elbows. Why did his forearms have to look so good?“Ha, ha.” Lizzy snagged her drink as Athena stepped out from behind the bar. “Athena, this is Quinn Brody and Dominique Castle. They both work for Red Stone but Dominique is almost as new as you.”Forcing a smile on her face, Athena nodded politely at both of them—and tried to ignore the way Quinn was staring at her. She’d had no freaking idea he worked for Red Stone. He looked a bit like a hungry wolf. Just like on their last date—two months ago. When he’d decided she was too much trouble, being a virgin and all. Jackass. “It’s so nice to meet you both.” She did a mental fist pump when her voice sounded normal. “I promised Belle I’d help out inside but I hope to see you both around tonight.” Liar, liar.“Me too. Thanks again for the drink,” Dominique said cheerfully while Lizzy just gave Athena a strange look.Athena wasn’t sure what Quinn’s expression was because she’d decided to do the mature thing—and studiously ignore him.

She nodded and somehow found her voice. Youre going too slow, she whispered.A wicked smile spread across his face that she felt all the way to her toes. It softened his normally harsh expression, making him look years younger. That look should be illegal.

She didnt want to talk with Levi. And wasnt that the problem. She wanted to do things that didnt involve any talking. Well, maybe it did if you counted dirty talk.

He could find out if Tasev was guilty, then make him wish hed never been born. A quick death for Tasev would be too easy.No way in hell would that happen. The man would suffer for a long time before he took his last breath. That part of Levi had changed and he knew it. Hed never relished death or suffering before. Then hed lost everything that mattered.

Youre sleeping here? Hed originally planned to just cuff her to him but now shed proved the cuffs were useless and she didnt seem to be going anywhere.Well, Im not sleeping on the floor. Unless youre worried about me killing you in your sleep?

Ill make you a deal. You can come with me to the meeting - if we can work out an agreeable plan - but you dont kill him until I get what I want. I have less than a week. Can you live with that time line?

He couldnt tell if she was checking him out with sexual interest or sizing him up. Did she know who he was? Truly was...Or maybe she just wanted to get to know him. Hell if he knew. Itd been too long since hed paid attention to a woman and he hated that he couldnt tell if that was feminine interest in her gaze.And now, after two years, his cock decided to wake up.Fuck.

And . . . I owe you.” Selene didn’t explain because she knew he’d think she was referring to when Meghan saved her life. That was fine with her. Telling him exactly how she owed him would strip her open too bare and she wasn’t willing to let anyone see that vulnerable side of her.“Telling the truth again.” He frowned now, true confusion in his gaze. Whether from her words or the fact that she was letting him in on this op. “You plan to try to bring me in after the op?”“No.” That was actually the truth. Wesley, however, was a different story. But she refused to let her mind go there, knowing Levi would pick up on it.Levi started to respond when a burst of gunfire from the pool area made them both turn at the noise. Selene automatically moved off the bench, crouching down behind it and to her surprise Levi moved in front of her, blocking her even though they were too far away to be in any danger from what she could hear.“This is what happens when you get a bunch of criminals under the same roof,” he muttered.She snorted in agreement. “I’m leaving using the beach. You’re free to join me.” There hadn’t been any more gunfire so likely the guards had the situation under control but she wasn’t heading back up there. She’d already had her meeting so she had no reason to return.Now he snorted as he turned to face her, still crouching low. He slid his long, callused hands down her bare arms. This time she couldn’t hide the shiver. “Oh, I’m joining you,” he murmured, a seductive note in his voice.But the timing was all wrong. For once she wished she understood the opposite sex more. What was he doing? She’d already told him he could come on the op with her. Her nipples tightened and her body hummed with a strange anticipation as he lightly held her wrists in both hands, his thumbs rubbing her inner wrist in small circles. She started to pull back and he let go of one of her wrists. As she pushed out a sigh of relief, the feel of cold steel skimmed her skin just as the soft snick of handcuffs clicked into place.

Shed taken one look at him the first time theyd met and it was like her body had just erupted into a ball of heat and hunger.

He was so damn sexy, with beautiful bronzed skin that showed off his Mediterranean heritage.

When Dax turned to her, those blue eyes that reminded her of the Aegean Sea pinning her, all thought process left her mind.

Oh yeah, she wanted to be this mans prey in every way. Shed felt his brand of dominance and wanted more of it.

From the safety of his BMW with tinted windows, he watched Hannah Young pull out of her parking space, seemingly in a hurry to leave work. Hed hoped to catch her alone, but the garage was too busy right now. He wasnt out of place at all, but he couldnt have made a move against her without someone noticing. And following her from the hospital wasnt an option. Traffic in Miami was too thick this time of day. Something told him shed notice if he tailed her. Hannah was far too smart for her own good. Shed seen something she shouldnt have, and unfortunately he needed to eliminate her. It wasnt something he relished doing, but it came down to his life or hers.

Are you trying to tell me you were a virgin before me? she asked teasingly... He snorted at the question. I just wanted to give you fair warning that Im going to fuck up. Probably a lot. She shrugged, seemingly unfazed. Me too. Thats what relationships are about. Well argue, then have incredible make-up sex. And as long as you always concede that Im right after an argument, well be fine.

She was different from any other women hed been with. Something hed known from the moment hed met her and shed made a smart-ass comment about him looking like GI Joe on vacation.

Travis Sanchez rubbed a hand over his head as he stepped into an elevator at the Red Stone Security building. His Mohawk was gone and he wore his hair in a buzz cut these days. It was probably his military background, but he always came back to this cut out of habit. The walk to Harrisons office was too short. He wasnt sure why his boss had called him in after his last security detail, but a small burst of panic had detonated in his gut. He loved this job, but there had been some issues with the CEO hed recently been guarding not following Travis orders. The asshole had almost gotten himself killed and now Travis wondered if his head was on the chopping block because of it.

So how many tattoos do you have exactly? she asked as Travis met her at the front of her car. It was a question shed been dying to ask but she couldnt believe shed just blurted it out all of a sudden. What was it about this man that made her so nervous that she spoke before she thought? Hed been blowing on the top of the travel mug that shed let him use, but he stopped and faced her, his eyes darkening. Ill let you find out on your own. There was a sensual note in his voice that she felt all the way to her toes.
