“I love you, Mak.”
“I love you so much,” she said into his beautiful gray eyes.
Pitbull was strong, energetic, agile and powerful like his namesake. He was also very resourceful and driven. Determination was one of his most notable traits. Whatever he set out to do, he put his heart and soul into it. Whether it was carrying out a mission or bringing her immeasurable pleasure—he didn’t give up easily…if ever.
She signed softly. Down the road there would be more children. The thought of them getting this second chance, the idea of giving him a child, creating a brand-new life born out of the two of them, made her smile.
“Did I do something funny?”
“No, you’re doing everything just fine,” she said, her voice hitching when he kissed her neck. “I was thinking about our future,” she said simply. “Going beyond the past. Going there with you.”
“We’re already there, babe, together,” he whispered with another kiss, and she gave herself over to him, her heart overflowing. He was right. They were already there.
Next up on the team is Hemingway who is going to tackle BUD/S, then find out first-hand what it’s like to be a full-fledged SEAL. He’s also going to find out that no matter how hard he tries, love cannot be denied when he gets tangled up with NCIS Special Agent Shea Palmer while she’s undercover at BUD/S. Terrorists have targeted his class and she’s there to weed them out and keep all the trainees safe. Also, look for Commanding Sia, the first book in my NCIS series featuring Chris Vargas as he works his way back to his lost love, JAG officer, Sia Soto. They are tasked with discovering if there’s a serial killer aboard an aircraft carrier. Will they survive this assignment?
