Nate never sipped on a woman’s pussy. He wasn’t attracted to women. He only fucked them when necessary, when the job required such an impossible situation.

“I don’t enjoy women,” he said, licking her labia and tossing her off of him so he could only come back and attack her pussy again. His tongue waggled at her entrance. Stretching out between her legs, he ran his fingers through her pussy lips and sipped at her vagina.

“Uh-huh,” she said, “I know.”

He cupped her bottom and raised her higher. His chin was moist, covered with her fragrance, her sweet honey smell driving him to the brink of madness.

Slowly, he rose over her. Her beaded nipples drew slow swipes, and he sucked on one breast, then the other. “God, help me.”

“Nate,” she said, arching to him. “Love me. Please Nate, love me.”

He looked down at the woman begging for something he didn’t know how to give. A beautiful woman, strong in the field and yet so gentle with him, and he couldn’t offer a response.

She looped her arms around his neck and pulled him into another long, delicious kiss. The taste of her filled his senses, and she didn’t seem to notice or mind when their lips collided. He was tired of bracing himself for the worst, tired of running from the gunfire at his back. He wanted a woman, he wanted two men, and he wanted to take care of them. Not out of duty, but because he longed to belong to them.

“Nate,” she hummed, spreading her legs. “Please.”

Hurting for relief, he slid inside her, and she locked her ankles behind his back. He studied her as he pumped inside of her, filling her with his size and stroking her with every inch he could stuff inside her tight walls.

“Love me,” she whispered again.

God help him! He didn’t know how! In and out, he moved. Her hips rolled forward, and he pulled her to him, never breaking their sealed connection. Bringing her over him, she sat erect, riding his cock.

“Nate,” she moaned, her hair framing her face. “Give me what I need.”

Semen burned at the base of his shaft, and he remembered the condom, the one he didn’t have, the one he wasn’t taking the time to find. He wanted this, right here, right now. The wild and free fucking and the woman on top of him, grinding.

“I’m coming!” she screamed.

“You’re mine,” he said, raising up to bite at her nipple playfully and then collapsing against the bed.

“Nate,” she said, shaking as the orgasm washed over her. “Nate, please come.”

Burying her hands in his chest hairs, she scraped her nails down his stomach. She rose and fell over his cock, pushing down on her fingertips as she worked to help him find his release.

When he felt the burn rise in his cock, he shifted his position, rolled her sated body under him and fucked her with deliberate strokes. In and out, he drove into her pussy. Taking his climax and then making sure she rode out another, he fell against her and kissed her as crazy madness flooded his better judgment.

When the kiss broke, he said, “You belong to me now, to us. You wanted me to take care of you, Karen, and so help me, I’ll keep you safe. It’s all I can offer you right now, but it’s a start.”

His words were a sincere promise, one he planned to move heaven and earth to keep.

Darby Winslow sat on the beach with binoculars. He watched the cabana for signs of movement but didn’t expect to see much. It was four o’clock in the morning, and he spent half the night locating Donovan and his friends.

His friends.

Damn it to hell, Darby thought. His friends were probably letting him fuck them morning, noon, and night.

Darby came there to profess his love, but he also flew to the islands to save him. His father wanted Donovan dead, and he had to warn him. The mission was a deadly one, an assignment where they could all lose their lives.

Spotting a dark shadow next to the large cabana, Darby saw someone move toward the water. Immediately, he refocused the field glasses and studied the hut. Did someone leave the cabana and he didn’t see them?

No, he thought, he couldn’t start doubting himself now. He never moved from his spot, and with an unobstructed view, he saw now that the form wasn’t one of the registered guests of the large beach cabana.

Instead, he watched a stalker, a killer looming, anticipating the right time to move in for the kill.

Nate stroked her hair. Karen was what he needed, he thought. A soft and fragile woman with tough as nails attitude, she brought Ebook piracy is stealing. It is a federal offense.

something into his life he’d missed and never realized before meeting her.

He wanted both. He wasn’t a gay man, but rather a bisexual individual. Who would’ve thought? Snickering, he toyed with her nipple. His fingers ran over the contour of her breast, and he pinched the little gem tight, trying to wake her.

Sound asleep, she moaned once and rolled over.

Amused, he spooned her, his chest firmly against her back. “Wake up a minute,” he urged, fisting his dick and rubbing the head against her bottom.

“Nate!” Colby rushed inside and tossed him a gun. “Company on the beach, let’s go.”

Karen sat straight up. “Nate?” She rubbed her eyes as he told her to wait there.

“What? Are you crazy?” Donovan asked, joining them. “She’s a sitting duck here.”

Karen stood up and slid into her shorts, grabbing a T-shirt from the top of her luggage, along with a few grenades, a knife, and of course, her sniper rifle.

“You really need to consider packing lighter,” Nate said, patting her bottom.

Colby and Donovan looked at one another in shock. “Nice,”

Donovan said, amused.

Nate slapped him on the back. “Hurry up, let’s move. Keep an eye on her,” he said in parting.

Colby and Nate inched forward, taking one cautious step at a time.

When they came to the end of the hallway, they saw two shooters straight ahead, waiting for them on the porch.

“Get down!” Colby screamed.

Donovan shifted behind them, and Nate heard him yell out,

“Karen! Down! Now!”

The guns blared as bullets ricocheted here and there. Two men brought down as much hell as perhaps they would have found in front of a firing squad. And they didn’t miss all of their targets.

“Stay down,” Nate bellowed after the smoke cleared.

“Shit!” Colby shouted, walking through the debris and across shards of broken glass. His heart skipped a few too many beats and gasping, he called out, “Nate, are you okay?”

“Yeah,” he said, his heavy footsteps moving closer and closer.

Colby tried to see through the foggy mist. “How about you, Donovan?”

“They got out,” Nate said.

“Thank God,” Colby said, trying to find a light switch.

Nothing worked in the front room thanks to the aftermath of the battle they never expected right at daybreak.

“We were ready, Nate. They were just better prepared,” Colby explained.

Nate’s eyes were glassy when he approached. Colby had seen that look before. His adrenaline pumped harder and harder, and Nate turned into the deadly killer the ISO had trained him to become.

“Nate!” Donovan shouted from the back of the house. “Colby!”

Rushing down the hall, he hit a light switch and amazingly, the damn thing worked. He tripped then, and Colby gasped.

“Oh my God,” Donovan said, looking down.

Nate froze. Colby rushed down the hallway and fell to Karen’s lifeless form. “Karen!” He shook her over and over again. “Karen!

Damn it to hell!”

Donovan crouched over her, too. “She’s gone, man.”

“No,” he said, feeling for a pulse. Turning fast, he glared at Nate.

“Damn you! Do something!”

Nate’s eyes set. He couldn’t move. Knowing Nate, he didn’t want to see the proof death provided, and he damn sure didn’t want to feel anything more than what he needed to feel right then. Stark madness, fighting fury, and pure rage filled the area when Nate screamed out his anger, mad at the entire universe and ready to fight a war against anyone who wanted one.

* * * *

Two hours passed. Donovan helped Colby clean up the mess of glass and splintered wood chips. Then he said, “We have to bag her body, Colby.”

“No,” he snapped. “Not until Nate deals with her death.”

Donovan stared down at her. “You can’t expect me to leave her like this until he comes back. What if someone from guest services comes down here?”

“They won’t.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because Shoemaker has placed a call by now, and he’s informed them of a mission in progress. He’s smoothed it over and explained how we are almost ready to tidy up loose ends. He’ll reassure them about damages he’ll pay and promise to have us out by the day after tomorrow, if not tomorrow.”

Donovan walked into his room, grabbed the appropriate death kit and pulled out the body bag and solution to saturate her body. Sorrow consumed him. “We should have protected her.”

“We didn’t,” Nate said, glaring from the backdoor.

“Nate, I told him to wait,” Colby began. “I thought—”

“I need a minute,” he said.

“Sure,” Donovan said, dropping the bag.

Colby studied Karen one last time. “Women have no reason to align themselves with the organization. This is what happens.”

Nate knelt beside her. He picked up her small hand, and he cupped his larger ones around her fingers. “No,” he muttered. “This is what happens when you fall in love with the wrong man. This is what happens when you allow yourself to feel.”

“That’s not right, Nate,” Colby said.

“Isn’t it?”

“No,” Donovan took Colby’s position. “She was careless, anyway, Nate. She needed protection, and we failed to protect her.

End of story.”

Nate closed his eyes. He thought of the recent promise he made.

He couldn’t tell her he loved her because he didn’t believe in lying to someone in matters of the heart. What he promised, he fully intended to deliver. He swore to keep her safe.

He failed.

“Is the woman dead?”

“Yes,” the operative told Admiral Shoemaker.

“Good,” he replied. “I suppose she’s the only one?”

“Yes.”

“Any further complications?”

“No, sir,” the female operative said. “At least, I don’t think so.”

“What do you mean? You should know whether or not you face other obstacles.”

“Sir, we think there’s another operative here. Do you have another ISO in place outside of those we’re watching and those who arrived with my team?”

“No,” he said, brooding. “Your ISOs are the only operatives approved for this mission. Outside of Francisco, Carrington, and Collier, you shouldn’t encounter other operatives.”

The agent said, “We’re not sure whether or not the guy is with the organization, but there is definitely someone else watching the bungalow.”

“Who is he?”

“We don’t know.”

Shoemaker’s blood ran dry. He felt every ounce of it drain. “Find out and report back to me. I’ll be there tomorrow, and when I land, I want to know what the guy looks like, what his name is, who he works for and what he had for breakfast last year on the first Sunday of every month. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, sir.”

“And with any luck, by the time I get there, you’ll show me three dead operatives. Four, if the other fellow is working with them.”

“Yes, sir. I understand.”

Darby watched Nate load a body in the back of a speed boat. He pressed the field glasses tighter against his forehead and squinted.

Who the hell died in their cabana? Why was he or she important enough for Francisco to dismiss protocol, never mind exposure, and take the body out to sea?

When Francisco first appeared on the cabana porch, he cradled the form in his arms and held on tight. For a second, Darby’s heart beat faster and faster, fearing the worst. Then he saw the way Francisco carried the body. Undoubtedly, he held a tiny form. With his mind at ease, he continued to watch out of mere curiosity.

Who did Francisco care enough about to bury in the deep waters of the South Pacific?

The motor roared to a start, and Darby heard someone call out to Nate. He pointed the glasses toward the row of huts and specifically, the beachfront bungalow.

There, he saw the man he remembered.

He looked larger than Darby recalled. A tall man anyway, Donovan had a certain presence about him. When he walked into a room, he commanded attention. When the ladies saw him, he won their approval and then watched them swoon, unaffected by their approving stares.

Darby lowered the binoculars. He wiped the lenses free of residue and mist, then gasped when he raised them again. God, yeah, Donovan still looked like he remembered, maybe even more handsome than ever before thanks to the growth of a circle beard.
