      Wow. Just wow. I have to buy the book because it will be on my reread list for sure. I would love to hear Abby Craden tell this story. Steamy mysterious espionage love story. I’m hooked on this author.

    Dedication

    This book is graciously dedicated to my grandmother. Without her, books would probably not be a big part of my life. Nanna, I finally figured out who did it.

    Chapter One

    Rian Casey finished brushing her teeth and spit the last of the toothpaste remnants into the sink. She towel dried her short, dark hair and stepped out of the bathroom. The platinum gray bedding comforter was in a wad on the floor at the foot of the bed and the white rumpled sheets were tangled around the slender nude body in her bed. Her long, wavy, blond hair fanned across the pillow behind her head. Most of her back and a partial thigh was exposed revealing tan skin that contrasted nicely against the white sheets. Rian smiled and silently thanked whoever it was with the powers above that brought this amazing woman into her life two years ago.

    When Rian was finished dressing in a black pants suit with a white blouse underneath, she walked out of the closet quietly. The beautiful woman in her bed was grinning up at her as she pulled the sheet back and patted the bed. Rian walked over and sat down next to her.

    Good morning, Rian said as she sat down.

    It would be a lot better if you got back in here with me. Her voice was so sweet and innocent it played Rian’s heartstrings like a finely tuned guitar every time she spoke. Rian brushed a strand of hair from her cheek revealing a beautiful face with a small slightly pointed nose, high cheekbones, and perfect, kissable lips that were thin with just enough fullness. She was still taken aback every time she looked at the eyes staring back at her. The alluring woman smiling up at Rian had a condition called Heterochromia causing one of her eyes to be bright green while the other was as blue as the ocean.

    Ari, Rian sighed and grazed her fingers over her soft cheek. There was nothing more that she would rather do, but as a Senior Special Agent with the FBI she didn’t get leisure time.

    I’m only teasing you. I know you have big bad criminals to go after today. I just hate spending our anniversary apart, Ari said as she slipped her hand between the buttons on Rian’s shirt and stroked the firm muscles of her stomach.

    Rian closed her eyes and allowed the caress. Ari Turner knew the right buttons to push, but what she didn’t know was there were no buttons. The usually cool, calm, and collected government agent completely crumbled the very first time she saw Ari and was head over heels in love with her ever since. Most of the time, it wasn’t even a touch that provoked their lovemaking. Instead, it was a simple smile or casual eye contact that sent Rian’s libido into high gear and her blood flowing south. Rian eased her hand away and stood up.

    Ari tossed the sheet to the side and slid out of the bed. Rian’s mouth watered as she watched the nude body moving towards her. Ari’s long hair fell in loose waves against her chest, grazing her perky round breasts with tiny pink nipples peeking out between the strands. At only five foot three she was petite with the right amount of delicate curves and toned muscles from hours of cardio and yoga. Rian watch the muscles move in her tan legs starting at her ankles, sliding up her calves, and across her thighs to the runway strip of hair at the base of her legs that was the same light shade as the hair on her head and so thin it almost wasn’t there. Her torso and flat stomach formed a subtle hourglass shape with a tiny diamond studded bar piercing the top of her navel.

    Ari ran her hand through her hair and tossed it over her shoulder as she slowly walked across the room. She knew she would win this little game of cat and mouse, she always did. She couldn’t help starting something she knew Rian would be willing to finish. She craved Rian like the Earth craved the Sun. Almost like she needed her to survive. She stepped so close she could feel the silk from Rian’s suit brushing her skin. She ran her hands up Rian's chest inside her jacket and pushed it off her shoulders until it fell silently to the floor. Then, she ran her fingers through Rian’s hair and pulled the taller woman down to meet her waiting lips in a searing kiss that started agonizingly slow.

    Rian ran her tongue across the outside of Ari’s bottom lip before taking what was being offered. She kissed her with every ounce of her soul, becoming so lost she was gasping for air, but reluctant to break the contact. She shivered from the hunger she knew only this woman could quell. The blood rushed from her head and throbbed in her crotch. She’d heard of being deeply in love, but she was bordering on addiction where Ari was concerned and she loved every minute of it.

    When Ari moved one of her hands from Rian’s hair to her chest and pinched her nipple through her blouse and bra Rian wrapped her hands around Ari’s ass at the base of her thighs and easily lifted her. Ari wrapped her legs around Rian’s waist and pulled back enough to look into her smoky gray eyes.

    I’m so wet baby, you’re going to get it on your pants, she said.

    Rian grinned and went in for another breathless kiss and rocked Ari’s crotch against her at the same time. She broke away from the kiss and ran her lips and tongue tenderly down the soft skin of her neck and across her collarbone. She turned her head to the side and looked at the different colored eyes watching her.

    Do you really think I’m worried about a pair of pants? She asked as she bit down on the soft skin of her shoulder and snaked her tongue out and ran it over the sensitive spot. She smiled when she felt Ari’s hips move against her involuntarily. She knew Ari was wet, she felt it on the tips of her fingers when she picked her up. Ari answered her with another arousing kiss as she opened the buttons of her blouse one at a time.

    Rian kicked her shoes off and walk towards the rumpled bed with Ari’s legs still wrapped around her and their tongues slow dancing from one mouth to the other. She laid Ari back on the bed and sat back to straddle her hips. She watched the eyes watching her as she unbuttoned her cufflinks and pulled her shirt free from her pants. She peeled it off her shoulders and tossed it to the floor behind her. Her satin bra was quick to follow revealing small, round breasts, slightly broad shoulders, and faint lines of the muscles in her abdomen. Rian leaned forward pressing her breasts to Ari’s and pinning her hands above her head. She teased her lips with her tongue and pulled away just to make Ari chase her before passionately kissing her again. She loved the feel of her lips so much she could sometimes climax just from kissing her.

    Ari groaned and pushed her hips up into Rian. Their kissing drove her crazy she needed more. Rian pulled back from the kiss and bent her head lower sucking a nipple between her lips and biting the tip with her teeth. She repeated the same motion with the other breast, then licked and sucked them until they were hard and standing at attention like pink erasers.

    Please, baby. Ari moved her hips again. Rian, I need you. Her voice had taken on a slightly husky tone.

    Rian let her hands go and rocked against her as she sat up. Ari went to work unbuttoning Rian's pants. She slipped her hand inside and ran her fingers through the swollen folds finding the silky wet spot that drove Rian crazy. When Rian bucked against the fingers teasing her she quickly moved to the side and pushed her pants off, then covered Ari’s naked body with her own. She loved the way Ari’s smooth, soft skin felt against her. She bent her head and met her lips for another heart-stopping kiss that nearly sent her over the edge when Ari sucked her tongue into her mouth.

    When Ari’s hips moved under her, Rian reached down with one hand and ran her fingers in lazy circles around her clit teasing her entrance with each pass. Ari moved in rhythm with her.

    Yes baby, she panted between kisses. I want to feel you inside me when I come.

    Rian slipped two fingers inside and continued the circles around her clit with her thumb pushing her fingers deeper with each thrust. Ari dug her short nails into Rian’s back and pressed her heels into the bed for leverage as her body began to tighten. Rian kissed her softly and stroked her gently as her climax subsided.

    I love you so much, Ari said when her breathing finally slowed. Rian looked into the green and blue eyes staring up at her and ran her clean hand across her cheek.

    You make my life complete, Ari. I don’t know what I’d ever do without you, Rian said just before she kissed her one last time. Then, she rolled away and stood up.

    Where are you going? Ari raised an eyebrow.

    To take another shower and get my ass to work, she said walking across the room. She turned around when she heard another pair of bare feet on the hardwood floor. Can I help you? She teased.

    No, but I can help you, Ari said pushing Rian back against the wall and bent down on her knees. She ran her hands up Rian’s legs from her ankles to the top her thighs and spread them. She smiled when she saw the glisten wet folds between the thin patch of dark hair. She looked up at the smoky eyes watching her as she slid her tongue across the folds with enough pressure to roll her clit back and forth. She held Rian tightly against the wall and used her thumbs to spread her open even further. She ran her tongue in circles then sucked her clit into her mouth over and over again as Rian’s hips moved against. When she pushed her tongue inside Rian reached down and put her hand in Ari's hair on the back of her head and held Ari's face against her throbbing center.

    Suck me baby, she said between gasps.

    Ari moved one hand and slid two fingers inside of Rian and sucked her clit at the same time alternating thrusts and sucks until she felt Rian’s hand tighten in her hair just enough to cause her to suck harder and thrust deeper. Rian came wildly against her face.

    When she caught her breath she reached down and pulled Ari to her feet. You amaze me,

    You didn’t think I was going to let you go all day like that did you? Ari said with a smile as she wrapped her arms around Rian’s neck and pressed her body against her. Rian kissed her tasting herself on her lips and tongue. That fanned the flames, making her want to do it all over again.

    I guess you better get in the shower with me or I am never going to go to work today, Rian grinned.

    Chapter Two

    Rian was sitting at her desk reading the latest Intel reports on the one subject that had taken up most of the last year and half of her life. She was assigned to the South American Organized Crime Division and taking down an Argentinean Crime Boss named Fiorino Canturri was her main objective. Canturri had been smuggling guns into the United States for a number of years. They were being sold on the streets in the black markets and he was also funding various South American terrorist cells. Rian was building a case that was already two inches thick with reports from informants, satellite photos, offshore bank transactions, and boxes of weapons that were traced to South America. She wasn’t sloppy. She’d done her homework and made sure her T’s were crossed and her I’s were dotted. She was looking forward to the day she could have him extradited to the states to answer for the crimes he committed and the hundreds if not thousands of lives that had been lost due to his crimes. Rian made a few notes in the file from the new Intel and locked the file in her briefcase. It wasn’t a matter of trust. It was more like a habit that she hid her files from everyone and took everything with her when she left for any reason. Of course, she
