she felt swollen and exposed. The throbbing screamed for him to enter her.  
    “Are you moving in with me?” Viktor asked huskily.  
    “Can I think about it?” Marissa gasped. “Please?” She wasn’t sure what she was begging for.
    “You’re so fucking hot,” Viktor muttered against her ear as his fingers continued to drive her crazy. She was close, so close.  
    “I need to taste you, Marissa, but you have to promise to stay quiet. I’m putting my hand over your mouth.”
    She could only nod as his head disappeared from her view, and her legs landed over his shoulders. Her hips were lifted by one hand while the other covered her mouth, her hips bucking at the first lash of his tongue. He licked and licked.  
    Slow.  
    Fast.  
    And then hard.
    Already strung so tight, she exploded when he sucked her clit. He rung every last shudder from her body, not once relenting when she tried to push him away because the pleasure had become unbearable. Spasm after spasm hit her until she finally became aware of a coppery taste in her mouth.
    Oh, my God, I bit him !
    Viktor reappeared in her line of vision. There was a self-satisfied smile on his face. “You’re a little wild cat,” he murmured, taking his hand from her mouth and inspecting the little teeth marks.
    “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry,” Marissa chanted as she tried to get up, but seeing as Viktor was still on top of her, that was a problem.
    “Hey—” Viktor said, grabbing her chin. “It’s okay. So what’s it gonna be?”
    “Viktor, I need time,” Marissa mumbled.
    “You have until the weekend.”
    “That’s three days away!”
    “Three days should give you plenty of time to get tested.”
    Marissa bit back a retort about where to stick that blasted test. She was clean, but she had no intention of telling him. Yet.
    “Let me up.”
    Surprisingly, Viktor didn’t argue and even helped her adjust her clothes.
    “You need to button up your blazer.”
    “You think?” Marissa snapped.
    Viktor drew her into his arms and whispered in her ear. “Glad to have you back, sweetheart. Now get out of here so I can work.”
    He slapped her ass, surprising her enough to hiss.
    She responded with a mutinous glare, but he only grinned maddeningly at her.

    Viktor stood by the railings near his office that overlooked the datacenter. He should be worried about the insidious threat that was determined to destroy everything he had worked for, but at that moment, his thoughts were preoccupied with a green-eyed spitfire determined to drive him insane.  
    He was tired of fighting his attraction to Marissa even when it seemed she could deny hers. During that crucial point in the South Africa mission when he thought he would lose Marissa forever, he just knew he wanted her in his life.  
    Eight years ago, he’d been surprised how quickly he had succumbed to the sassy young woman who had rocked his existence. Marissa was on her first mission when he had met her. He was brought in to fix the mess her handler had wrought. He extracted her from the underbelly of an Irish firearms dealer, and one look into those emerald green eyes and he knew he was in trouble. She had a body made for sin. A body that could bring a man to his knees. Viktor hardened as he remembered the feel of her firm round ass; her breasts fit perfectly in his hands, and her toned, silky limbs that just minutes ago were wrapped around him. The CIA struck pure gold with her. Marissa’s mother was half-Armenian; her father was pure American royalty, and she had inherited amazing genes from her mixed heritage. With her light olive skin, dark brown hair, and facial features that were hard to make out ethnicity, she was the ideal CIA operative, especially since she could pass as any other ethnicity except Asian and Scandinavian.  
    Viktor had bedded many beautiful women, but with Marissa, the connection went beyond lust. She understood him. Her mind challenged him, and even in her
