Exclusive Excerpt
Noah
wasn't sure whether to be furious with Lucia, or thrilled that she was right.
Either way, they needed to have it out. She made love to him not two hours ago,
but when she’d looked at him and told him she loved him, she’d been lying to
him.
She didn't lie; she kept it to herself. Damn it. Keeping a secret
like this was tantamount to lying. How the hell was he supposed to keep her
safe, keep them all safe if she
didn't tell him the most pertinent information of all? As much as he wanted to
justify it, he couldn’t deny the bitter tang of betrayal on his tongue.
He
found her in the living room, cross-legged on the couch, wearing one of his
shirts and a pair of his boxer shorts. She had the sleeves rolled up to reveal
her slim forearms. Head bent over, she was going through a stack of fashion
magazines labeling things and putting Post-its on them. Writing things like, “Pull,” “Check with Adriana if we have it,” “Can we partner with this designer?”
She
was working. Completely in her zone. Well, too bad for her; Noah was about to
interrupt her. He marched over to the couch, and she looked up, giving him the
sweetest smile he'd ever seen. So sweet it pulled at the places in his heart
he’d swear didn’t exist anymore. She looked so perfect there, sunlight streaming
into the living room and splashing over her, creating soft shadows and halos
all over her. She looked like an angel.
"Hi.
What's up?" There was an invitation in her smile and, like the traitor it
was, his dick swelled. He couldn't seem to keep his mind or his hand off of
her. They needed to talk, so the big guy downstairs would just have to wait.
"I
was going to ask you the same thing. Is there anything you want to talk to me
about?"
Her
brows furrowed even as she continued smiling up at him. "No. I mean,
unless when you say talk, you mean
—" She lifted a brow and her eyes danced mischievously.
Okay,
so he could totally understand how even the most hardened spies could fall for
the enemy. Because, right about now, he wasn't using the brain cells God gave
him. He was using the other part of his brain. The one completely responsible
for manning the sex train. The one that wanted to yank off her boxers and sink
into her, right here in the middle of the living room, where anyone could walk
in.
No. Stay strong. Besides, they’d done enough
of that. After one too many close calls, the tracking devices he had everyone
wear were now used to track where he and Lucia were, so the team could give
them a wide berth.
Not
exactly the use he had planned for them, but whatever. But they had enough
privacy. And maybe if he just sank deep into her, he’d stop riding the razor’s
edge and focus enough so he could ask her what he needed to ask her. If he slid
the boxers off, spread her wide and stroked deep, they’d both feel better.
They’d be relaxed enough to have this conversation. It was amazing the things
he could come up with when he let his dick do the thinking.
He
considered it. For a long moment, he considered it. She’d taste so sweet. Was
she sore from earlier? Or, from this morning? He hadn't exactly been gentle.
But then again, neither had she. He still had her nail marks on his shoulders.
Noah grinned with purely male satisfaction. He could still feel how those
scratches had stung this morning in the shower when the water hit them.
Oh shit. He did not need to think about the
shower, or what they did in there.
And
he probably shouldn’t think about her taste because then he’d think about what
they’d just done and—no. Never mind, there it was. In amazing Technicolor and
surround sound in his mind. He cleared his throat.
No. They were having this conversation now.
Because he was pretty damn certain that after they had this conversation, the
last thing on his mind would be sex.
"Nope.
Nothing to talk about."
Her
gaze searched his. And he saw pain there. He hated that he’d had a part in the
pain there. Because he was pretty damn sure there was one thing she probably
wanted to talk about but she didn’t trust him to be open-minded. That hurt more
than anything else, that she couldn't talk to him. Didn't she understand that
all he wanted was her safety and happiness?
Behind
his back, Noah's fingers tightened around the tablet he held. A tablet that
held the image of a ghost he’d long since buried. A ghost that was back to haunt
them all. The question was, what did he want?
Noah
took the picture tablet from behind his back and slapped it on the table.
"Explain."
Lucia
glanced at the picture and her breath caught. Her fingers flew to her lips then
her gaze flickered to his. "I don’t know what to say.”
"Yesterday
Matthias came into my office freaking the fuck out because Nelson came back as
a false name. I lost years on my life in that split second when I was worried
about you."
"Noah,
I can explain."
He
shook his head. "I was terrified that something happened to you. Terrified
that once again I was too late. And then I called Ryan and everything was fine.
So that was when I knew that either the false identity was laying groundwork
for something crazier than we’re already dealing with or you were lying to
me."
"I
didn't lie to you, Noah."
He
crossed his arms. "Oh yeah? Then what do you call it exactly? Omission?
You just happened to forget that you saw your brother in your fucking office
yesterday?" He kneeled down so that their gazes were level. "Or,
please tell me that you didn't see him. Please fucking tell me that he came
into your office but you didn't see him. Tell me that. So that I don't think
that the woman I love lied to me."
