  I fake interest, asking how the bomb will go off, how it will work and kill everyone in DC, how he will get out of there in time.

  I am not allowed inside the house or the barn, still full of animals that’s on the property, and even though this man seems calm, I'm not told much other than to basically get out of dodge. That the bomb will be going off by nightfall, and I won’t want to beat round.

  He doesn’t have to tell me twice. I have bigger fish to fry.

  I dumb the truck as instructed before going to pick up a plane ticket at the airport that will take me to wherever Harrison is now hiding away waiting for this to unfold. Or, at least I thought it would be a plane ticket.

  Instead, I find myself being led to a private air strip at the back of the airport where a plane is waiting.

  It's full of luxury as I am brought on board, but my blood freezes as ice in my veins.

  "Hello, Adam, it's so good to see you again."

  Other than whoever is piloting this thing and me, two other people are on this plane; Harrison and Kelsey. And Kelsey is tied up in her seat, letting me know this is not the luxurious ride I thought it was going to be.

  "Harrison, what a surprise. Good to see you too. Thought you'd be to safety by now, though.”

  "Well, that was the plan, Adam, but I have another plan now. Why don’t you have a seat. We’re about to take off.”

  I do as I was told even with the strange feeling in my stomach, and I strap in.

  The plane takes off, and he begins to talk again as I try to meet with Kelsey’s eyes. She is squirming, and there are signs she had been crying, but she won’t look at me directly.

  "You see, Adam, sometimes, there is no better person for a job you want done than yourself, especially when so many people around you are liars. Don't you think so, Adam?”

  I scoff, still hoping if I play along I can stop whatever it is that’s about to happen. "No offense, but I don't fuckin' trust anyone either.”

  "Yes, I would imagine the death of your brother would have caused some trust issues.”

  The man's eyes flashed at me, and I knew we were all doomed.

  I don’t even pretend like I can get around this. Not going to insult a man who has Kelsey tied up and me alone in this private plane after what I've done by pretending I know nothing. "Look, I didn’t lie. I have nothing to do with the cops, hate the guys. Don’t like the CIA much either, but they kind of gave me no option.”

  "Oh, you could have been loyal to me instead. Had you told me, I would have done anything to protect you, become your new brother. But now, we will replace that bomb you have rendered useless.”

  He is good.

  Wait ... "Replace?”

  "Yes, the jet fuel will do just fine. The Pentagon shutting down isn’t quite the same as the entire city, but it worked once, didn’t it?”

  "Woah, slow down, if we crash the plane, that means you die too.”

  "Yes, and become a hero to all my people. I will live forever.” that horrible chuckle of his escapes from his throat again, and I cringe. I let him talk himself into oblivion as I try to formulate a plan. How do I get this plane to land safely somewhere? How do I get rid of the pilot and Harrison?

  I'm going to have to wait until the right moment. A moment that will probably be much too close for comfort.

  Chapter Ten

  Kelsey

  I look at Adam. He is looking like he’s focused on something in his head. I bet he’s trying to come up with a plan out of this mess. I don’t think he’ll come up with anything, because I didn’t come up with anything either.

  We’ll be fine, I try to tell him with my eyes. His eyes flutter closed, and then he looks back at Harrison.

  “Are you sure you want to do this? Who will lead the mob after you’re dead? You will leave the entire mob without a leader,” Adam tries to convince him, desperation in his expression.

  Harrison throws his head back in a laugh, “You think I’m stupid enough not to have a replacement in place?”

  “What are you talking about?” Adam throws his hands up, completely confused. I envy him the possibility to move.

  “I’ve been training the next leader for years, actually. He looks like you, only thinner and better. Not a backstabbing son of a bitch.” Harrison’s sick smile splits his face and I feel sick to my stomach. My long and hard work on this case was for nothing. I felt my eyes fill with tears.

  “Who?” Adam eyes him with suspicion. What is going on here? I think.

  “That doesn’t have to bother you. I will only tell you that he is also very good at pretending to be dead.” He winks at Adam with a secretive, arrogant smile playing on his lips.

  Harrison turns around to walk toward me, and I see Adam dive toward him. They begin fighting, and I feel completely helpless. I wince every time Adam takes a punch from Harrison which, frankly, isn’t many considering Harrison’s age. Very quickly Adam gets the upper hand, and I see how he walks to a nearby table while Harrison is trying to stand up from the ground. Adam picks up a knife and walks back to Harrison. He grabs a handful of Harrison’s hair and he slits his throat, ending the miserable life of this idiot.

  Adam looks at me. “Are you alright?” he asks me, and I nod.

  “The pilot.” I point my head in his direction. Adam immediately understands. He gives me the knife he was holding so that I can cut through the piece of plastic that holds my hands tied together. By the time I’m free, Adam is walking back my way.

  “Do you know how to fly a plane?” he asks in all seriousness.

  I giggle, a little insane from stress and the absurdity of the question and then immediately stop when I realize the severity of the situation. “No, I don’t. Did you kill the pilot?”

  “Yeah, I did. And if we want to keep breathing, we have to figure out how to land this thing,” I stand up to walk to the cabin, but Adam pulls me into a quick, tight hug.

  “Adam,” I reluctantly pull away, “we don’t have time for this.” As if to prove the truthfulness behind my words, the plane gets into turbulence.

  We hurry to the cabin, trying to land the plane safely.

  “I have no idea what to do,” Adam complains, powerlessness clear in his voice.

  “We will have to try our best.” I throw the dead pilot out of the pilot seat to the end of the cabin and sit.

  Adam sits in the seat next to me and turns to me. “Kelsey? I have to tell you something..”

  I cut him off, “You’ll tell me when we land.”

  By some miracle, a while later, we land. It isn’t a smooth landing, that’s for sure, but it’s a safe one.

  I hear Adam let all of the air in his lungs out as I whisper through tears, “I can’t believe we made it.”

  ***

  I was just let out of the hospital and my first steps are to the CIA base.

  “Well done,” Agent Franklin greets me as soon as I step out of the elevator.

  “Thanks. So, what happens now?” I ask him immediately. I am incredibly curious about Adam’s fate.

  “There is a ceremony next week, you’ll be getting medals,” Agent Franklin beams with pride. He was my mentor when I first started here and it’s an incredibly amazing feeling that I finally, after all those years, made him proud.

  “What about Adam?” I couldn’t let go of the question that’s been at the front of my mind for the last two days.

  “Come and see for yourself.” He leads me to the conference room on the second floor.

  I come to a stop in the door as I look at Adam sitting behind the desk, grinning at me. I weakly smile at him and can feel the weight lift off my shoulders. I can’t wait to get out of here, with him.

  “So, Adam, you are cleared of all the charges that were against you. You’re starting with a clean slate, congratulations. Don’t fuck it up.” Agent Franklin offers his hand for Adam to shake. They both laugh a little and then Adam starts walking toward me.

  “Are you free right now?” he asks me, his e
yes coming to a stop on my lips before they complete the journey to my eyes.

  “Yes, she is,” Agent Franklin says from behind Adam.

  Adam leads me out of the room and out of the building. We step into a taxi, and Adam gives the driver some unknown address. I glance at him a couple of times on the ride, but we’re completely silent.

  He shows me the way to his apartment.

  “This is where you live?” is the first thing I say to him.

  “Yeah,” and he closes the distance that was between us, “You know, what I wanted to say before we tried landing that plane?” I nod. I am somehow unable to say anything else, “well, I wanted to tell you that I love you.” He is looking deep into my eyes, gazing.

  “I love you, too, Adam,” I say in a voice so quiet that it’s barely a whisper. My eyes dart to his lips and he closes the distance between us completely.

  His lips brush mine in a butterfly kiss, but I want more. I lean into him, making our kiss deeper, snapping his self-control. He unbuttons my shirt and slowly slides it down my shoulders. I reach down for the hem of his shirt, pulling it up. Adam pulls back a little, looking into my eyes again. “I love you so much,” he whispers and then completely crashes his mouth to mine.

  In a matter of seconds, we’re naked on his bed. I am lying under him, my legs spread wide. Adam is hovering above me, supporting his weight on his arms. He traces gentle kisses down my neck, to my breasts and back up. I can feel his dick at my entrance and within two seconds he fills me completely. He is moving at a torturously slow pace, never breaking eye contact.

  Up until now we fucked, now we’re making love. It is so intense I want to close my eyes, but I can‘t. I love this man.

  I feel the pleasurable pressure rising, and I break into millions of pieces with the feel of his thumb on my clit. Soon he follows me with his own orgasm. I can feel how my inner muscles are squeezing him. Adam hides his face in the crook of my neck, trying to catch his breath. I gently caress his back, savoring this moment.

  ***

  I am standing on a stage, looking at Agent Franklin giving me a medal for my work. I feel complete, happy even. I look over and see Adam with an identical medal.

  This new man, completely mine. Starting his second chance at a life with me in it. I can’t wait what else is in store for us.

  Epilogue

  Kelsey

  As the sun comes up over the horizon, I hold my mug in my hands and smile.

  It’s nothing like the life I’ve had in the past. My entire adult life I’ve been without friends, without any safety net. I’ve removed family and everything from my life in favor of danger and adventure. And I never thought I’d be listening to the sounds of the nature waking up around me; birds, wolves, bears, all within feet of my front door. And not much to do other than hike and enjoy the scenery.

  But its mornings like these I live for now.

  It’s been three years since Adam saved my life. Three years since the secret of his brother was revealed and I found a purpose outside of just being an amazing CIA agent. Though, I thoroughly screwed up when it came to Harrison. Not like anyone could have known the way it would all fall apart, though.

  I sipped my coffee, lots of sugar and not much else, something that had become a routine.

  I am used to this life now. To the ability to sometimes do normal things. Visit our families, have some friends down the mountain in town, have a relationship for that matter.

  Adam isn’t one for all things sentimental, though he does worship my body quite often, so I know he has news for me when he comes out, a little early for him, and stands next to where I’m sitting. “Do we have a job?”

  The CIA has still kept our contacts for special operations. It means great pay and a lot of time off.

  “Yes. They think they found my brother.”

  I stand up, spilling some coffee down the front of my sweater. “Shit,” I curse, and I’m not sure if it's at the coffee stain or the news I was just given.

  All these years, we have been trying to confirm or deny what we were told about Adam’s brother not really being dead, and in fact, him taking over the mob for Harrison. All we found is that the organization is bigger than we had ever known going in. Harrison was part of a huge network of terrorists, mafia, and criminals that spanned four countries. But if his brother was alive, he had been good at hiding.

  “About how I felt too. They want us to go in and confirm, find out how he ended up in all this, and see if we can make him turn on his own from the inside.”

  I can’t help but laugh. “So, a walk in the park, right?” I tease, and Adam smiles. I can tell he is feeling the tension and conflict before we even make it out there. He needs to relax.

  I forget my coffee on the porch and press myself against him, the rest of the sunrise now missed in favor of my sexy, tatted, strong man. My lover. My everything.

  He groans, looking down at me before grabbing hold of a fist full of hair. I moaned into him, feeling his hardness against me. I place my lips, my feet up on my toes, right at his as I speak against them. “When do we leave?”

  My voice is quiet, sultry. I still, vie seducing him after all this time.

  “Tomorrow night.”

  “Plenty of time,” I whisper with a smile, leading to him lifting me up and carrying me inside as if it’s our wedding day. He throws me down on the bed, my pants and panties down in seconds before his tongue is worshiping my oh so sensitive skin.

  As much as I loved the quickies we had in the beginning, I love how we get to take our time. How he explores my body, sometimes for hours. We will literally be in bed all day, playing with and taking joy out of every piece of each other’s bodies.

  His hand slides up to my center, his fingers teasing at my entrance as I arch my back, spreading my legs wider for him. I don't know why I want him so badly right now, even as I am trying to get his mind off of what’s coming. He presses his thumb against me, and I want to lose it right there, but I have to hold back. To enjoy this in case we don't get moments like these for some time.

  It takes over an hour for him to slide himself inside me, his shaft filling me to the brim. I wrap my legs around him and look into his eyes as he begins to pump in an out, slow but rough. “I love you, Adam.”

  “I love you, Kelsey.”
