He tore at the buttons and clips of his pants and he toed out of his shoes while she shuddered with need. When he returned, there was both hunger and gentleness in his caresses. His hands toyed with her breasts while the heat between her legs left her a melting puddle of wantonness.
His lips found the turgid peaks of her nipples, suckling strongly, and she bowed off the bed, crying out with incomprehensible exhortations. The hairs of his arms rasped over her sensitized skin, arousing her to fever pitch.
Then he pulled back. “I want to pleasure you.”
“Together. This time we learn together. We’ll have plenty of time for the pleasuring later.” She lifted her hand to his head and tugged him down to her. He moved between her legs and she opened to him, giving him access. “I need you, Carmichael. I’ve never wanted anyone like this.”
Kumi Ito has her mission, as does Carmichael Snow, but are their objectives compatible? Kumi Ito is a woman with a problem. Since assuming the role of head of the Commerce Department, she's found discrepancies…the kind that could cause anarchy if the truth got out. When Carmichael Snow, the commander of the Emancipation, comes across intelligence that someone has placed a hit on Kumi, he has to save her. His plan? Hide her and find the assassin. As they dodge the killer, a passion ignites between them that runs from simmering all the way to steamy. But will the actions of one snatch away their happiness before they can accept what is growing between them? Content Warning: This book features a buff, hot guy and a kick-butt heroine. Naturally, hot scenes will follow. For centuries the Ito family has served their home planet—Reunion. Now they must be prepared to give up anything to defend it. Although the war is over, there are still pockets of resistance in the Federation—those who would do anything to destroy the fragile peace they've fought for and won. The members of the Ito family have all fought in their individual ways, but will the battle demand further sacrifices and pain? Renjiro Ito and Selina Codecko were forced apart during the war. When they meet five years later, the passion between them flares hot, but betrayal could exact a high price. Kumi Ito and Carmichael Snow must find those who have conspired to damage Reunion financially while fighting to stay alive and ignoring the fire that burns between them. Tomi Ito and Gillian Edgemont have held the political arm on track, but when she's accused of the ultimate betrayal only Tomi can save the woman he's loved for years. |
