She didn’t know if he would follow her. God, she hoped he followed her as she stumbled along. The quarter moon peeked between the trees, but certainly didn’t light her way. She simply took direction from the night sky.

A screech echoed through the scrub. Whack! She smacked her arm, squishing a mosquito. Stay in the thicket? Because of all the bugs, she was ready to run to the coast. She tracked through the pungent-smelling peat.

“That jump from the balcony was impressive.”

Enough minutes had passed that she startled at the sound of his voice. “The motivation was strong. I’m glad the mission was successful.” She watched her step as she walked along dryer, mossy ground.

He snorted. “We’ll see when we get back to D.C.”

She nodded and stepped over a branch. “It was harried there for a minute.” Would he comment about what had happened between them? She desperately wanted to know if she meant anything to him. At the same time, she didn’t want to hear she was just part of the assignment.

And if he still had feelings for her, how come he’d left?

“What are you thinking about?” The deep timbre of his voice seeped into her psyche and sought the part of her heart that she thought she’d hardened to him. But like the soft peat beneath her feet, she could feel herself sinking deeper.

“I’m wondering why you left me. I know you weren’t happy to see me today. I wonder what I did to chase you away, and if you couldn’t get away from me fast enough, why didn’t you pretend in Rick’s bedroom? You didn’t have to fuck me to make the scene believable.” She couldn’t look at him, couldn’t lie to his face, but she’d wanted their encounter to be more than part of the assignment. “I didn’t enjoy being your escort.” It was the closest she could go to the truth. She enjoyed being his partner…his lover.

He didn’t answer, so she stopped walking and turned to him.

“I’m an ass. I never should’ve left the way I did.” He closed the space between them. “I swear, when I left that morning, I had every intention of returning.”

Her heart pounded. Not just because of his proximity, which always caused a flutter in her chest, but because she was finally hearing an explanation as to why he’d broken her heart.

He growled and ran his hands through his hair. A muscle in his jaw twitched. “I don’t want to do this.”

“Man up, Quinn. You’re Echelon Shield elite. You’re always called to do the unpleasant.”

“Nothing about us has ever come close to unpleasant.” He was on her in a flash, his hands in her hair, mouth on hers. His kiss was punishing in intensity, and his desire sucked the air from her lungs. He pushed her back against the thick, moist bark of a tree and thrust his hand into the plunging neckline of her dress. His rough palm rasped against her nipple.

“Is this what you want?” His heated breath warmed her skin.
