“I get it.”
“Let’s make certain you do.”
I pressed the button, my eyes never leaving her. I’d looked at the photographs, disturbed even after everything I’d been through in my year and a half of captivity. There were many methods used that remained with a person long after the physical healing process. The Russians were extraordinarily savage with their highly successful methods. While I knew I couldn’t show her the most gruesome pictures, what I did provide seemed to have an adverse effect, her eyes opening wide. I was confident she now fully understood what we were both facing.
There was a thirty percent chance we’d be captured by my calculations. The next five days were crucial if the odds were to be improved. Her full cooperation would be necessary or by this time in thirty days, one or both of us would be dead.
“Okay,” she said quietly. “I understand.”
“I hope you do. I don’t want to see you hurt and I’m going to do everything in my power to keep you safe, but I’ll need your help.”
I immediately closed the file. There was no sense in tormenting her anymore.
“I’m going to die,” she said without emotion. “They will hunt me down and kill me.”
“You’re no good to them dead, Isabella. They need your formula and your abilities to change it. I’m here to prevent your capture and that’s exactly what I plan on doing.”
Before I had a chance, she bolted up from the seat, racing toward the door. I caught her within two seconds, snapping my hand around her wrist and yanking her against me. The look of horror in her lovely eyes jerked at what was left of the decent man inside of me.
She twisted her mouth, trying to push me away. Then she clung to my shirt, pulling me even closer. “I don’t want to die. I also won’t be responsible for the development of a weapon.”
“I promise you that I’m not going to let anyone hurt you.”
“I believe you,” she whispered, the connection between us so electrified I couldn’t breathe.
With that, all the necessities of remaining unfettered by whoever I was trying to protect whether man, woman, or child were tossed away. From the depths of my being, all I wanted to do was protect her, care for her. Be with her.
Isabella rose onto her tiptoes, lifting her chin. I crushed my mouth over hers, wrapping one hand around her hair, sliding the other to her bottom. As I ground my groin against her, the friction nearly drove me to past the breaking point.
The kiss was powerful, electric. I couldn’t breathe as I explored the dark recesses of her hot and wet mouth, dominating her tongue.
Her soft moans only fueled the already raging fire, stripping away any sense of loyalty to the cause. As I rubbed her bottom, the feel of her breasts pressed against me allowed several filthy images and thoughts to rush into my mind. I wanted this woman like I had no other, the desire so intense I couldn’t think clearly. The taste of her was so damn sweet, like cherries that could melt in your mouth. As she undulated back and forth, creating wave after wave of friction, I was ready to lose my mind.
I tugged on her hair, breaking the kiss seconds later, growling as I brushed my lips across her strong jaw, moving ever so slowly to her long neck.
“Oh, yes. Yes.”
All I wanted to do was ravage her, taking what now belonged to me, if only for a limited time. Nothing else mattered. Just her.
Then another bolt hit me, the duty I’d signed up for smashing into what was left of my brain. Stiffening, I eased her away, darting my eyes back and forth.
She seemed to sense my discord, ripping at my shirt. “Fuck me. I need to feel alive again.”
Her request was all that was needed to cut through the last tether. God help me but the temptation was too strong.

Isabella
The rush of excitement was even more powerful than the electricity soaring between us. As I gazed into his eyes, the myriad emotions blew me away. I became lost in them, their strength and pain, the hunger building to the point of necessity. I tore at his shirt, losing all sense of resolve. I didn’t know this man, but my instincts told me that he was the only person alive who could keep me protected. Maybe that’s all I’d ever wanted, a resilient brutal man to take control, to tell me that everything was going to be alright.
Whatever the case, I no longer cared. I needed his body weighed against mine, I longed to feel his cock buried deep inside. I’d never been this aroused, my nipples aching so badly I wanted to beg him to suck and twist them, providing the pain necessary to bring me even a moment of peace.
He pulled away, his chest heaving. As he ripped off his shirt, tingling sensations jetted down the back of my legs. My God, the man was solid as a rock, every muscle rippling. The strange light in the room sent a dazzling shimmer across his tattoos, making him appear even more dangerous. And the carnal look in his eyes shoved aside my last inhibitions.
He would devour me, and I wanted him to. I needed him to. I could think of nothing else. I glanced at his dog tags, surprised he continued to wear them. He wasn’t active military. For some reason, I wanted to reach out and run my fingers across the numbers engraved into the cheap metal. In the back of my mind, I knew that was far too personal.
Taking a deep breath, I yanked the sweater over my head, exposing my breasts.
