Codename Romeo: Rogues and Rescuers Book One

by Leroux, Lucy

  Fingers threading with hers, Ethan used his body to please her the way she liked best. His every move was a dance—part instinct, part hard-earned knowledge. Very hard.

  Wordlessly, Juliet kept pace with him, taking him into her body with fervid and ardent moans that kept him rock hard long enough to make her come three times.

  Afterward, he collapsed next to her, pulling her into his side. Then they talked, making promises and vows about the years to come.

  “I’ve been thinking about my future,” she said after he had asked her when she wanted to restart law school. “When I go back to school, I think I want to change focus, but not to environmental law.”

  Ethan braced his head on hand, lying on his side to study her. “To what then?”

  She rolled to face him. “I want to be like Judge Washington. I’m going to go into immigration law.”

  Ethan smiled. “I don’t blame you for being inspired after today, but are you sure?”

  She nodded. “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I was lucky enough to be born here. Luna was lucky to have you and your connections, but I can’t help thinking the only reason she is home safe with us now is because I got lucky and rented the right apartment. That and she has a fortune of her own.”

  Her face grew serious. “There are a lot of people in this world that would turn their backs on a baby like her just because she wasn’t born here. In fact, they do it every day. Mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters—all are in danger, running for their lives like I was, yet people here are still determined to turn them away. Their circumstances do not matter to them.”

  Ethan stroked her hair. “I know and I’m sorry, but not everyone is like that. I know circumstances aren’t ideal given the current culture, but I have faith that people are basically decent and things will change on that front.”

  “So, you don’t think it’s a bad idea?”

  “Oh, I think it’s a great idea. Especially your other plan—you figured out what to do with your fortune, didn’t you?”

  She smiled softly, reaching out to stroke his cheek. “You know me so well. Yes, I’ve decided to use my parent’s money to set up a legal defense fund for immigrants and asylum seekers. I can’t think of a better way to use that money for good. I can be there for people the way you were there for me.”

  Pride filled him. Juliet had the potential to do so much good in the world, but the size of her heart never ceased to surprise him.

  Taking her hand, he rolled over, covering her body with his. “You have my full support, of course. Always.”

  He pressed a kiss to her lips, a silent vow to stay by her side. It was a promise she returned wholeheartedly…

  Now and forever.
