Page 70 of Seeking Vengeance
“Take it,” he choked out. “Ah God, baby, just take it before you kill me. It’s so good … it’s so fucking good …”
She increased her pace, riding him hard, keeping the penetrations deep and violent. As much as he loved it, he was glad she was in control. He would have been afraid to take her this fiercely, but one look in her eyes, and he saw the same fire, hunger, and need that he knew was reflected in his own.
He felt her muscles beginning to contract even more. Dear God, she was going to tear herself apart if she kept this up. He clamped down on her hips and took control, thrusting from underneath. Nicki’s head fell back as she climaxed a second time. This time, he joined her.
Exhausted, she fell across his chest, panting heavily. “Needed that … thanks,” she wheezed, before closing her eyes and succumbing to sleep.
Sean used the last of his strength to wrap his arms around her and hold her close. Then, he whispered a silent prayer of thanks.

“Christ, you two fuck like rabbits,”Taser grumbled the next morning.
He’d ended up spending the night in his workout shed, unable to get a moment’s peace. While Nicki blushed slightly, Sean was completely unrepentant.
“Honduras,” was all he said, and Taser didn’t say another word.

By the afternoon,Nicki was packed and ready to leave.
While Sean was loading things into the copter, Taser pulled Nicki into a hug. “You take care of him, Nix, you hear me? He needs someone like you to watch out for him.”
Her eyes glittered. “I thought you said he was supposed to take care of me.”
Taser winked. “Nah. I only told him that because he has such low self-esteem.”
“I really should have shot you when I had the chance.” Sean’s voice sounded from very near.
Taser laughed. “Yeah, you probably should have. Invite me to the wedding, will you?”
“Not a chance,” Sean mumbled, though Nicki saw the truth in his eyes.
As much as they liked posturing against one another, it was obvious the two men shared a deep, mutual respect.

Minutes later,Taser exhaled the breath he’d been holding as he watched the chopper disappear over the trees. He sat down on the porch, stretched out his legs, and took a long pull from his beer. Never had he met two people more hardheaded, stubborn, and every damn bit as good as they claimed to be. They were perfect for each other.
God have mercy on both their souls, he thought, smiling.
EPILOGUE
SIX MONTHS LATER
With exceptional skill and precision, Nicki made her way through the building, silent and unseen. One by one, she neutralized the men who were unfortunate enough to have drawn the graveyard shift at the rural meth lab. The banter of her husband and brothers-in-law in her earpiece as they secured the grounds was both informative and comforting. Muffled grunts, soft pops, and occasional rustlings assured her that they were meeting with equal success.
Judging by the tone of Sean’s grumblings, he was still a bit annoyed with her for rejecting his suggestion of her remaining outside with Kieran while he and Shane disabled the lab and staff. His curses still scorched her ears from before, when he’d watched her remove a small utility vent and shimmy inside. While Sean ranted into their comm sets, Kieran made his way around to the opposite end of the house to disable the electricity, cable, and phone lines as well as the small satellite transmitter/receiver. If someone discovered Nicki in the house, they would not be getting the word out past their perimeter.
Nicki bit back a smile. She was giving him the silent treatment in response to his little outburst, and he was pissed. Sean Callaghan riled was truly a sight to behold. His eyes glowed with unsurpassed intensity, his muscles bunched and rippled with repressed anger, and he became, in Nicki’s eyes, the sexiest man alive. Yeah, he was pissed, but it was worth it because the sex they’d be having later as a result would beepic.
She gave Kieran the all-clear to enter through the back and start setting the detonators. Once they secured the building, they were going to take it down, destroying every last piece of equipment with it. By the time they were done, there would be nothing left.
Her communication with Kieran earned her another earful from her husband. A familiar tingle started below her navel.
Epic. Sex.
She put those thoughts on hold as she slipped into the last room, where half a dozen men were busy cutting, weighing, and packaging product.
