going to ruin her plans!
    “Why are you doing this?”
    “I can’t have you running around threatening to expose me.”
    “I wouldn’t hurt you.”
    His eyes flashed cold anger. “Your earlier hint says you will. Not to mention Cheri’s insinuation that you would get rid of the competition by spreading your legs in order to get the cure.”
    “That’s Cheri’s petty bitchiness tactics because her husband couldn’t get me and—”
    she cut herself off before she said too much. That was a part of her past she’d rather not let him know.

    “Oh do tell. I’m curious to hear why the general wouldn’t share you with her and her late husband Blakely. I hear the Blakelys enjoyed ménages. Just like you do…” he said his last sentence so softly Ashley found herself shivering with unwanted excitement as erotic memories of him and Blade crashed into her. She flung the thoughts aside, allowing anger to seethe through her. The son of a bitch wasn’t going to get away with this nonsense.
    “Get this collar off me, you bastard.”
    “I love it when you call me names.”
    “Colter, I’m serious.”
    “So am I. That collar stays on you until I say otherwise.”
    His eyes darkened dangerously. She swallowed at the tightness in her throat. Shit!
    The guy wasn’t kidding. Damn him! He was going to screw her plans!
    “I don’t have any time for your games, Colter. I need that cure, and I’ll do anything I can to get it. Even…killing you if I have to,” she lied.
    “When I’m finished with you, you just might want to, Starry Eyes.”
    “Don’t call me that.” It reminded her of a time she’d rather forget.
    “Why not? Don’t you like my nickname for you anymore?” he purred softly. Too softly, as if they were intimate lovers, as if they’d never been separated for years. For an instant, that warm look she’d fallen in love with melted the hardness in his face. Then it quickly vanished.
    “That was another time. I’m not in the Terrorist Wars anymore,” she whispered.
    “But you’re still fucking the general,” he replied coldly, a muscle twitched angrily in his cheek. Did she detect jealousy in his voice? Or maybe it was just wishful thinking on her part?
    “What do you want from me?”
    His eyes narrowed. Fear slithered up her naked back. If looks could kill, she’d be dead. “I’m going to keep you out of the way so you won’t blow my cover.”
    “I’d never do that. I would have told you that very fact over drinks.”
    “Like hell.”
    The cold way he said it slammed into her gut like a punch from his own fist.
    “What? You don’t trust me?”
    “You haven’t earned my trust, Starry Eyes.”
    What was that supposed to mean?
    “And until you do, I want you at my mercy.”
    In response, he reached over and yanked the white sheets off her nude body, displaying her to him.
    Oh, my God! The heated way he looked at her almost made her self-combust!

    “What the hell are you doing?” She was about to grab a nearby blanket when his next words stopped her cold.
    “Don’t you dare cover yourself from me, Ashley. Ever. Or you will suffer dire consequences.”
    Excitement and anger rolled into one and she closed her eyes against the raw hunger splashing in his eyes.
    Did he think he could simply pick up where they’d left off? Any other time and she’d give him a second chance, if his explanation for leaving her in Iraq were a suitable one. Now, however, was not an option. She needed to get her hands on the cure and she couldn’t do it by staying here…as his plaything.
    Okay, just relax. You can handle this.
    “I told you, I’m not in the Wars anymore—”
    “Stand,” he instructed.
    “The hell I will. Get out of my room!”
    God! The ravenous way he glared at her made her tremble with hardcore lust. Made her want to submit to his will. She could literally feel the urge to surrender to him washing through her veins and her stomach twisted in
