Kyle's presence here and about her sister. She'd asked Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html
    questions that both men had naturally ignored. Not that Delanie expected them to fill her in.
    Their casual mention of labs and biohazard suits was alarming to say the least. She didn't remember hearing anything about an assassination.
    Her necklace threatened to cut off her air at his words. "You're an assassin ?" She stared at him, sick.
    "So much for your hypocrite oath. You told me you were a doctor. Was that a lie, too? Were you…
    when we met … were you doing this ?"
    "Amongst other things. Now," he said, almost gently, "would you like to reconsider my offer of a ride into San Cristobal tomorrow?"
    "No. Your Mission Impossible has nothing to do with me." She was rapidly losing her bravado and had to swallow the metallic taste in her mouth.
    Oh God, oh God. Please. I want to get the hell out of Dodge. Where are you, little sister?
    "You're mine to do with as I please," he told her coldly. "I can hurt you. Never doubt that for a minute."
    Unfolding her cramping legs, she stood. "You couldn't hurt me, Kyle, no matter what you did."
    "Why? Do you think I'd draw the line at breaking someone smaller and softer than I am? Consider my profession." He rose. "I know as many pain centers as I do pleasure points. Willing to give it another crack?"
    His shirt brushed against her chest, but Delanie stood her ground. "Let's just say you've given it your best shot and let it go at that, shall we?" She spun on her heel, headed for the house. What she needed was a cool shower, lots of soap, and breathing space. Haifa bottle of antacid. And a new plan.
    What she got was a dizzying spin into Kyle's arms. "Damn you," he snarled against her mouth.
    "Don't you dare—"
    He dared.
    Trapped against his chest, she tried to shove his bulk away. His hold was unbreakable. No preliminaries, no feeling his way, no Mother-may-I? Just a lip lock as he held her face between his hands and kissed her deeply; a starving man graced with a banquet.
    His taste and texture were hauntingly familiar, sending sharp, poignant longing to her breasts and groin.
    And a red alert to her brain. She kept her arms at her sides, but couldn't prevent swaying against him in the pitch darkness. The sounds of the jungle beyond the fence intensified the aura of steamy mystery, leaving only the sensation of touch, taste, and the intoxicating scent of him to fill her senses.
    Oh, God. She knew better. She really did.
    She'd known from the first moment she'd met Kyle Wright that he'd hurt her in ways she'd never been hurt before. Known within minutes what drove the women of her family like lemmings to the sea. Known the wild sense of addiction. Need.
    Known then, as she did now, that she had no defenses against him. There was no way on earth she Generated by ABC Amber LIT Conv erter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html
    could protect herself from a man this compelling. This powerful. This tempting.
    And she'd been right.
    Which is why she'd planned to leave him sleeping in their sex-rumpled bed in the middle of the night four years ago. Only to find he'd beaten her to the punch and left her first.
    It was a good thing she was immunized, Delanie thought vaguely as Kyle's large hands tunneled through her sweat-dampened hair to cup her head. He stroked her cheek with his thumbs as his tongue plunged and stroked. A soft moan broke free when he sucked her tongue, and she opened her mouth wider to receive him.
    She ignored the now muted warning sirens as another shock of desire darted through her. Her legs went wobbly and she stood on tiptoe to slide her arms around his neck. The kiss was long and deep. The rhythm drugging.
    Lips wet and swollen, she felt both stunned and disoriented when he finally held her away from the furnace heat of his body. It was as sudden as being taken off life-support without notice.
    "What… ?"
    "Go in the house and
