His cheek brushed hers, whiskers erotically scraping against her skin, his breath warm against her ear as he whispered, \u201cIf I instinctively know something so simple as how to order your dinner, think what else I might know about you. What we might know about each other. How to tease each other\u2026 How to please each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was an emptiness inside her that shuddered with hope, with a plea that he would drive it away, fill it with something that wasn\u2019t icy and cold.<\/p>\n

He pulled back and looked at her, his eyes dark, passionate. Compelling. \u201cNo regrets, Becca,\u201d he vowed, and she knew he\u2019d found those words in her head. Words she\u2019d sworn to live by when she\u2019d left that German hospital without a cure. Words she\u2019d spoken in her head in the lab earlier with him there.<\/p>\n

She rolled them around inside her and let them take root, rewarded herself with a deep inhalation of Sterling\u2019s addictive, masculine scent. \u201cNo regrets,\u201d she said softly.<\/p>\n

A slow smile formed on his lips. \u201cI love it when you agree with me,\u201d he teased.<\/p>\n

Becca laughed. \u201cYou\u2019re crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout you,\u201d he said huskily.<\/p>\n

She felt a little schoolgirl rush from that. In the past, she would have felt like the geeky bookworm with the quarterback, uncomfortable and out of her league, but not with Sterling. Never before had a man taken her from such dark emotions to laughter. A place she might just find real escape.<\/p>\n

She pressed her hands to his face, her lips to his. Absorbing him. Breathing him in like a little piece of life. They lingered that way, heat simmering between them. Expanding\u2026 drawing them in closer to one another without ever moving.<\/p>\n

His tongue flickered against her lips, pressed past her teeth as he slid it against hers for a long, sensual taste. \u201cYour kisses taste like honey,\u201d he murmured. \u201cWhat does the rest of you taste like?\u201d<\/p>\n

She shivered at the erotic comment\u2014the promise he was going to find out. He kissed her again. Crazy-wild, hot-kissed her, and she loved every second of it. Loved his tongue, his lips, and his hands sliding through her hair, over her face.<\/p>\n

Becca ran her fingers through his thick, blond hair. She loved his hair\u2014a little wild like him. Hot like him too. With each stroke of his tongue, each touch of his lips,\u00a0she felt liberated.<\/p>\n

Her palms traveled over his chest\u2014warm, hard muscle, her reward. She was extremely, intensely interested in those muscles, like the best science project in the world that had to be studied. She explored his arms, his biceps, how they felt beneath her palms. Inching forward in her chair, she arched into him, for research purposes, of course. To explore how he would feel pressed close to her. Her breasts ached for his touch, her nipples tight and swollen, in need of his mouth. God. Had she really just had that brazen thought? She was a good girl; she always had been.<\/p>\n

His hands slid over her breasts, fingers teased the stiff peaks of her nipples. Her hands covered his, silently telling him she wanted more, because she couldn\u2019t ask or demand. Because she was still that \u201cgood girl\u201d at heart and couldn\u2019t seem to let it go.<\/p>\n

But she didn\u2019t want to be a good girl. If anyone knew the meaning of \u201clife is short,\u201d she did. Becca ran her lips over his jaw, hid her face in his neck, and nibbled as she said, \u201cYou know what I want?\u201d<\/p>\n

He slid his hands around her waist. \u201cIf you say Chinese food, I\u2019m going to object.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll give you a choice then,\u201d she said, feeling braver with his jest. \u201cFeed me, or take off your clothes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m all for getting naked, if you are,\u201d he quickly agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou first,\u201d she bargained.<\/p>\n

And while the idea of standing in front of him naked, him fully clothed, would make her feel vulnerable, exposed, it apparently had none of those effects on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay,\u201d he said, unaffected by the idea as he pushed to his feet and started undressing. And only seconds later, he stood there in all his naked glory, and she sat there, fully clothed.<\/p>\n

THE BOOKLIST REVIEW….
\nNov 2011. 384 p. Sourcebooks\/Casablanca, hardcover, $6.99. (9781402251597).
\nThe exciting Zodius futuristic suspense series features soldiers enhanced by a GTECH secret military experiment. Sterling Jeter, who is assigned to guard Rebecca Burns, the scientist working on an antidote for the highly addictive and fatal drug ICE. But Rebecca is also the high-school dream Sterling was never able to realize. She has cancer and tangling with bad guys who want her science skills for their ends has left her an ICE addict, too. She wants to take advantage of her time left with Sterling, while Sterling wants to protect her. As danger mounts, they try to sort out who is trustworthy. The GTECH and science details can best be followed with the help of the index, but they do not overwhelm the appealing characters or action. Jones\u2019 suspense truly sizzles with an energy similar to FBI tales with a paranormal twist by Julie Garwood or Suzanne Brockmann. Alpha, military, and paranormal romance readers will want Jones\u2019 entire series.<\/p>\n
