“Somehow I get the feeling none of this is new to
you.
Blair sighed, kicked off her shoes, and propped her feet on a
leather hassock. Sometime in the last year shed gotten used
to living with danger. Not just the vague and barely
countenanced possibility of harassment or kidnapping that shed
grown up with, but the life and death reality of bombs and
bul ets. Her lover had almost died, her friends had been shot,
and she had been exposed to a potential y lethal bioweapon.
“No, its not new. She smiled wearily at Emory. “And I dont
think its going to go awayever.

“What the hell went wrong? Matheson barked into the cell
phone as he paced in his motel room. The need to change
locations frequently and the inability to easily access his funds
were wearing on him.
“He wasnt a professional, sir, and the targets were very
well covered, the colonel said. “We knew using a civilian
might be a problem.
Matheson sighed. “It was still a good plan to use someone
who would be seen as targeting Constantine, but relying on
amateurs is
too risky. Were going to have to handle this
ourselves. “It wont be easy without inside help, sir.
“According to my friend in the Company, theyre most likely
back on the island, and its not impregnable. If Lawrence doesnt
surface soon, well have to force her out.
“Sir?
“Well start eliminating her contacts. Matheson relaxed his grip
on the phone. “One by one.
Chapter Nineteen
I f were going to shower together, Blair whispered in Cams ear, “we
have to get up now.
“Did you wake up with an urge? Cam
murmured.
“Mmm. A big one. Blair teased the rim of Cams ear with the tip of her
tongue and pressed her pelvis against the crest of Cams hip. “I went to
bed with one, and it just kept growing. She reached around Cams
body and caressed her breasts and abdomen. “Of course, if youre real y
tired, I could probably manage on my own for a while.
Cam rol ed over onto her back and pul ed Blair on top of her. “Who
needs a shower.
Grinning, Blair sat up and straddled Cams waist. Keeping her weight of
Cams bruised hip, she grasped the hem of her T-shirt and stripped it of
over her head. She let it fal onto the floor beside the bed and skimmed
her hands slowly over her chest and down her abdomen, watching Cam
fol ow the movement of her
hands on her own body. “How do you feel this
morning?
“Surprisingly
okay.
Blair trailed her fingers along the inside of her thighs, her fingertips
brushing Cams abdomen as wel as her own legs. When Cams muscles
tightened, she felt an answering tension between her legs. “Shoulder stif
?
Cam raised both arms and cupped Blairs breasts. “Not
at al .
Blair closed her eyes as her nipples hardened and her breasts swel ed
against Cams palms. “Stil , lets be sure you dont overdo it. She rocked
her pelvis in a slow steady glide on Cams stomach, pressing a lit le harder
with each stroke as the delicious pressure built. She covered one of Cams
hands on her breast with her own, and with her other opened herself so
she could rub more of her rapidly swel ing sex over Cams bel y. Soon
the steady pump and glide of her hips gave way to short, erratic thrusts
and she moaned softly. “Oh God, you feel so good.
“Blair, Cam whispered. “Open your eyes,
baby.
Smiling crookedly, Blair blinked and struggled to focus. “Sorry. Im so
close, I
almost She took a shuddering breath. “I need to back of a
minute.
When she started to lift herself away, Cam shook her
head.
“No, dont move. Cam kept one hand closed around Blairs breast, the
nipple vised between two fingers, and slid the other between Blairs legs,
palm up. Her fingers slipped down the hot, wet val ey until her
fingertips dipped just inside. “Now make yourself come in my hand.
Blair caught her lip between her teeth and bent forward to wrap both
hands around Cams arm, just above her wrist. “Tel meif I hurt you.
“You wont. I want to feel everything. Cam started a steady tug and
squeeze on
Blairs nipple. “Fil my hand. Come on,
baby.
With a groan, Blair pushed hard against Cams hand, circling herself
over the smooth firm muscles at the base of the palm. Soon she was
balanced on a razors edge. Panting, she frantical y sought Cams gaze.
“Im going to come.
“Dont hold back, Cam urged hoarsely. “I need al of you.
Everything.
“Push inside me, Blair gasped, her back arching. She jerked Cams arm
hard between her legs, trying to force Cams fingers into her.
Cam buried her hand, her palm riding hard over Blairs clitoris again
and again.
“Oh God, Cam, Blair cried, “there. Oh right there. The muscles in her
stomach and thighs shook violently as she tightened inside, over and
over. When she couldnt hold herself upright any longer, she tried to
