Chapter Eleven
Olivia backed up against the door, shaking so hard she felt she was going to be sick. She willed
the tears of pain not to fall as the most paralyzing agony seized her whole body. Just knowing that Ivan was going to be gone – for who knew how long this time, made her feel like her whole life was over. What if something bad happened to him? What if he got badly hurt – or worse, never came
back? He’d been somewhat somber at dinner, even beneath all his humor and wide smiles. She’d
sensed the tension in him and she knew she’d have done anything – no matter what it took – to ease the strain he might be feeling just before he had to go on a dangerous mission.
But Ivan didn’t need anything from her – certainly didn’t need her compassion. At that very
moment, he would be driving off home anyway…probably into the waiting arms of Molly. Maybe she would have the chance this time to make his last night before his next assignment a memorable one…
In a split second, Olivia wished with all her heart that she was wrong. That Ivan would be
yearning for her just as much as she was craving him at that moment.
And just then, Olivia stiffened as she realized that, standing there against the door and
unconsciously waiting for his Jeep to drive off, that she’d heard nothing to that effect. It was more than a minute since she’d sped into the house, and he still hadn’t left. Or had he?
When the soft peal of her doorbell sounded seconds later, she almost didn’t allow her heart the
chance to hope, or even breathe. The next moment, she was flinging open her door to find Ivan leaning against the frame. Her heart tumbled to the pit of her belly as she stared speechlessly up into his handsome face.
“Olivia,” he said softly. And that was all he said. Right before he was inside, scooping her in
his arms and kicking the door shut after him with his booted foot. As always, he amazed her with how quickly and lithely he moved, like some huge jungle feline. Gasping, her fingers clutched at his
shoulders as he hefted her up by his arms wrapped around her upper thighs. This brought her lips
level with his, and she was instantly devoured by his hot, piercing kiss.
Happiness, bewilderment and plain smoking lust wrestled within her disordered senses as he
beloved kissed her like a man starved. “The bedroom,” he rasped against her panting lips, and still unable to speak, Olivia could only point out the right direction. Not putting her down on her feet, he carried her straight there, his steps purposeful as he moved quickly with her in his arms like she weighed nothing.
It didn’t occur to Olivia at anytime to protest. To ask him what he meant by this. Because none
of that even mattered. He needed this – and she did too. So much that she was just as quick and adept at tearing off his clothes as he was in ripping off hers once they reached the bedroom.
