Wren was glad Snake was beside her, the focus of Kaeden’s piercing stare.
“It’s hard to say exactly what’s going on in that place.” Snake shook his head. “I didn’t get a really good look at the operation, but it sounds like the Alliance has decided to try some bizarre breeding program involving soldiers and female conscripts. From what I gathered when they tried to acquire Wren, the females are not necessarily willing partners.”
“Is it an offshoot of the lost children fiasco?”
Snake shrugged. “Hard to say. Maybe. There was some mention of enhancing the kids but to be honest, I was more focused on getting Wren out than gathering intel.”
“We need to find out.” Winter spoke up from her place beside Trace. “We can’t let them do that again. We just can’t.”
“Don’t worry.” Kaeden glanced around the room. “We’ll look into it and if it looks like a reboot of that program we’ll take it down.”
Saralyn stood up, stretching her arms over her head. “We don’t have to go back in and risk anyone getting seen. As long as I know the address I can hack into their systems and see what’s up.”
“You can do that from here?” Snake sounded skeptical.
She nodded, a complacent smile curving the corner of her lips. “I can. You could have saved yourself all this trouble if you’d just asked me to take a peek for you. By tomorrow morning we’ll know all about the Alliance’s operations in that place and then we can decide what to do.” She looked around the room before addressing Kaeden. “If it’s okay with you, I’ll go get started.”
Kaeden grinned. “Fine with me. Save us a whole lot of legwork, and I can think of much better things to do with my evening than surveillance on an Alliance Facility.”
“Me too.” Snake dropped an arm around Wren’s shoulder, deliberately staking his claim in front of his teammates.
Kaeden raised his brows. “Like that is it?”
Snake nodded. “Yup, it is.”
“Well, make sure you take good care of her then.” Kaeden glanced down at his own partner, Wren’s big sister Dee. “I’ve grown fond of the brat since we were forced to go fetch her home.”
“Brat?” Wren smiled sweetly. “I’ve been on my best behavior since I got here.”
Snake rolled his eyes. “And that’s why I had to bust you out of an Alliance enclave tonight?”
She shrugged. “That was your bad. If you’d told me where you were going I wouldn’t have had to follow you.”
Kaeden laughed. “You might as well give up now, Snake. You know you’re never going to get the last word.” He stood up. “Okay, guys. Until Saralyn has a chance to see what she can dig up, this meeting is over. Go get some sleep.”

The door closed with a deliberate thud, and Snake turned to face her, already shedding his clothing. Wren followed his example, the clothing she wore nothing more than a barrier between her and the man she’d loved since the first time he’d rescued her. She really had to stop making a habit of getting kidnapped!
Dropping the final piece of clothing to the floor, she kicked it aside. It had taken more self-control than she’d thought she possessed to wait until they were done explaining the events of the evening to his teammates before retreating to Snake’s room.
Desire spiraled through her, robbing her of breath. He looked so damn sexy standing in the shadows of the room, his naked body outlined by the moonlight flooding through the window. He held out his hand in silent invitation, and she crossed to his side.
His hands closed over her shoulders, gently pulling her in closer. She could feel the leashed tension in his touch.
“Are you sure?” The husky rasp of his voice had a sensual quality to it, sending shivers of lust curling across the surface of her skin. “Once I take you this time there’s no going back. I let you go once, and I don’t think I can do that again. I know you’d be better off with someone else, but I’m just not that strong. You’ll be mine. Forever.”
Wren let a sliver of a smile ghost across her lips. The man had no idea how sexy he looked, standing there trying to give her a choice. She’d already made it, long ago. Snake was everything she’d ever wanted in a man. Not just a lover, he was solid, dependable and decent.
“I’m already yours.” She wound her arms around his neck, her eyes fluttering closed as she covered his lips with hers for an endlessly delightful moment. “And I have no intention of ever letting you go, so you might as well get used to it. You’re doomed to spend the rest of your life trying to please me.”
“Well then.” His hands slid from her back down to cup her ass and press her against him. “I guess I’d better get started.”
Wren pretended to pout. “I guess you’d better, and you better be sure to make it good.”
“Is that a challenge?” A hint of laughter infected Snake’s voice.
Wren slanted him a look from beneath her lashes. “What do you think?”
“Sounded like an order.” Snake ran a finger down her cheek. “One I’m more than happy to follow.”
His finger resting beneath her chin, Snake lowered his head, feathering a kiss across her lips. Wren closed her eyes, savored the feel of his lips on hers while his naked body pressed against her.
He worshipped her with his mouth, there was no other way to describe it. She felt warm and protected, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that this man would go to the ends of the known universe and beyond for her. He’d followed her into that hell hole and brought her out safe and sound. Sappy as it sounded, he was her hero.
Snake’s mouth moved to her neck, raining little kisses all the way down to her shoulder as he ran his hands down her side and lifted her up, his hands cradling her butt. Wren wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her heels behind his back to hold herself in place.
“I love you so much, it almost hurts.” Snake buried his head in the crook of her shoulder, the words muffled against her skin. Wren could feel the tip of his cock against her and wriggled her butt, positioning herself directly above it.
Snake lifted his head to stare directly into her eyes. She could see the hot desire burning in their depths, but there was something else too. Something that made her feel precious and important. Loved. She felt loved.
Snake lowered her onto his cock, slowly, one delicious inch at a time. She whimpered softly as need exploded through her. Darts of liquid fire crawled across the surface of her skin, provoking her to dig her fingernails into Snake’s back as she tried to make him move faster, tried to impale herself on his deliciously stiff cock.
“Not so fast, love. I want you to feel every single moment. I want you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are mine.” He kept his gaze locked on her as he began to move in and out, going just a little deeper with each thrust until, finally, after what felt like an eternity, she felt his balls snug up against her ass cheeks.
She knew she should reply, should tell him how much she loved him. She needed him to know that she would always be his, that she looked forward to the day when she would hold a child of theirs in her arms. She wanted to tell him so much, but her body was too busy to allow her mind the kind of concentration needed to form coherent sentences.
She settled for a kiss.
Locking her arms around his neck Wren poured all of her feelings into one hot, fiery kiss. She devoured him with that kiss, taking in every bit of his being and making it hers. Snake kissed her back while he continued to move her up and down on his rigid shaft. Their bodies merged, becoming one in a dance as old as the universe.
The orgasm took them both together, pouring over them like a tsunami of pleasure so intense it almost hurt. They clung to each other as wave after wave of aftershocks rocked their world.
Finally, the intensity lessened. Snake took two staggering steps and they collapsed together on his bed. They clung to each other, neither willing to let the moment come to an end. Their breath came in long gasps, and their hearts were still racing. Wren opened
her eyes, drinking in the sight of her man lying beside her. Her man. Her love. Her life.
They were together and nothing else mattered.

Anne is a gorgeous supermodel who writes romance in her spare time while jetting around Europe with a string of boy toys in tow.
Hmmm… no one is going to believe that. How about this?
Anne is an undercover agent for a super-secret government agency, and when not saving the world for democracy and all the good people, she writes romance one-handed on a special minicomputer designed just for her by a mad scientist.
Yeah, that sounds way better. So, ignore the people who tell you she’s just an ordinary person with an extraordinary imagination. They’re just jealous because she gets to play with James Bond and vacation in exotic locations.
Honestly!
When she’s not busy saving the world or writing the next great novel, she likes to kayak, hike, ride motorcycles, swim, skate, practice karate, play her guitar, sing, and of course, read.
