Chapter 5

Dammit, why did things have to be so complicated? He’d never met anyone like Lena before. He’d never wanted anyone as much and sure as hell never had sex with a fugitive before. He always thought of them as marks and nothing more. Lena was different. She made him feel things he had no name for. Admittedly, his personal relationship skills were lacking, but he could feel her disappointment when he told her he would still turn her over to the authorities.

He tugged her hand and pulled her over to the couch. He’d stayed in the office with Josh once while they waited for extraction. They had arm-wrestled to see who would sleep on the lumpy couch and who got the hard desk. He’d lost that night. Tonight, would be different. His chest tightened with the idea of sleeping with Lena tucked into his arms. The thought shocked him. It wasn’t just the sex he anticipated. Oh, he wanted to fuck her. There was no doubt about that. But he also wanted to wake up with her. A thought that had never occurred to him with any other woman.

First, he had to explain. He pulled her down into his lap. She didn’t fight him, but her earlier arousal had faded from her thoughts.

“I’ve been a recovery agent for almost fifteen years. I was eighteen when I got my license. This is all I know how to do and I take it seriously. I have never missed a mark or a court date.”

“I wouldn’t want to spoil your perfect record.” Her voice was hard and she tried to move off his lap.

He tightened his arms around her waist and kept her in place. Her anger flooded his telepathic sense and he felt just the edge of hate creeping in to her mind. Could he stand it if Lena hated him? No! The answer was obvious. He pulled her around sharply, lifting her so she was straddling his lap and facing him before pulling her close. He was vulnerable in this position. She could scratch his eyes out and make a run for it, but where would she go? He didn’t think she would run.

She turned her head to one side, refusing to meet his stare, and crossed her arms over her chest.

“Look at me, Lena,” he commanded.

She turned back sharply. There it was, hatred. He had to take a deep breath to keep from reacting outwardly to the storm brewing within.

“I would be the happiest man in the world if we were just two people who had met by chance and couldn’t keep our hands off each other. I don’t know if the second vision is even possible for us, but I can tell you, I’ve never even thought of having that kind of life. Now it’s all I can think about. Seeing your belly round with my child safely growing within is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Believe me when I tell you, I want it all and I want it with you.”

Her anger subsided, but she didn’t give an inch physically. Her arms remained covering those beautiful tits and her eyes stayed hard and unyielding.

He continued, “The fact is, we didn’t meet that way. We met because I was hired by the Boston courts to bring you back for trial. Tomorrow, when the plane comes for us, I could bring you to Boston and turn you over. If that’s what you want, then it’s what I’ll do. You know as well as I do, we will never have any chance at a life together until your name is cleared.”

“What do you want?” she asked.

His gut clenched. “I want for the first vision the stones gave us to be a mistake. I want you to live.”

“Even if it means I go to jail for a crime I didn’t commit?”

He had to look away from her face for a few seconds. The idea of her behind bars where he couldn’t touch her was almost as unbearable as the idea of her dead. Almost. “Yes, even if you are in prison. At least in prison there is a chance.”

She reached her hand down between them. Her fingers grazed the tip of his hard cock, but moved to the pocket, where she gripped the Stones of Adeline through his trunks. “If these get into the wrong hands, none of it will have mattered. My entire life will have been for nothing.” She released them and put her hands on his shoulders. Her head was down. “Can I trust you, Kane?”

“With your life.” His body was near to bursting with need, but he resisted pulling her against his cock.

“What about my heart?” She touched her forehead to his.

He closed his eyes and let the warm feeling flow from her mind into his. The niggling of hatred had disappeared and left something else behind, something he had no idea how to name. “I wish I knew how to answer that, Lena.”

He didn’t know what he’d expected to feel from her, but understanding swelled in her thoughts. She kissed his cheek. “I’ll teach you.”

Kane’s body trembled with a mixture of excitement and fear. He wanted to learn what it was she gave him so willingly, and at the same time, the new emotions were terrifying.

Lena slid her ass forward and pressed her pussy against his cock. Whatever else she had been feeling became overshadowed by desire and his own need skyrocketed.

He gripped her ass and turned her toward the couch before laying her down and covering her body with his, her mouth with his mouth. “Lena, I want you. I wish it was in the warm, soft bed back in the hotel, but I would want you on a rock in the middle of the desert.” He spoke against her lips and cheek then kissed her chin, jaw and up to her ear. His tongue swirled around her lobe and sucked in the sensitive skin.

Her breath caught in her throat and she pressed her hips up, rubbing her pussy against his shaft. “I want you too. I don’t care where. I’ve been waiting for you to fuck me since the alley.”

He couldn’t take any more. He pushed her to one side and leaped from the couch. She stared up at him, wide eyed. Reaching down, his fingers found the button and zipper of her shorts and pulled them off her with the bathing suit. She reached behind her neck and pulled the tie on her top. A moment later she was completely naked on the old, beat-up couch. One of her knees was pulled up and her pussy glistened in the low light of the desk lamp.

Kane practically tore his shirt off. He heard a button clatter to the floor and roll away. He was more careful with his swimming trunks. He felt the precious stones in the pocket, folded them inside and tucked the shorts into his pack. When he turned back around, she was still watching him. Her eyes smoldered with want and one hand had made its way between her legs. Riveted to her fingers swirling around her clit, he watched as she excited herself. His cock jumped and he moved closer, sitting on the edge of the couch and gripping his length in one hand.

“God, Lena. You can’t know how hot that is. I could watch you do that all day.”

Her fingers glistened with her own juices. She gave a smoky laugh. “Why don’t you bring that over here and let me suck on it?”
