Assignment Danger (Off-World series, Book #4)

From New York Times and USA Today Best-Selling Author, Rebecca York
After a soul-killing two-year undercover assignment in prison, Federation agent, Jack Younger agrees to one more risky masquerade--as a terrorist. He doesn't count on his old love, Sophia DeAngelo, ending up in the middle of an armed robbery. When she's kidnapped by the bad guys, he's the only thing standing between her and two low-life thugs.  But what if he has to choose between fulfilling his mission and saving her life?

EXCERPT:

When she finally spoke again, she said, "I don't want to spend the night thinking about those terrorists back at the hideout. Or about the men outside now. Whatever's going to happen in the morning, I'd like to think about something better now."

His free hand clenched. "You know I want to hold you now. But nothing's changed. I'm still the guy who plows ahead with his own needs."

"I don't think so."

He gave her a hard look. "Why in Hades not?"

"After prison, how long were you in the city before tonight?"

"A couple of weeks."

"There were plenty of women around. Some of them willing to . . . make love with you for money. Why didn't you pay them to take care of your needs?"

"I didn't want any of them," he said, then looked like he wished he'd kept the answer to himself.

"But you wanted me."

"And I started mauling you," he shot back.

"You stopped when I asked you to."

He laughed. "Maybe this time I'll totally lose control."

"You won't."

"That's putting a lot of faith in me."

Yes," she answered, knowing that if he rejected her now, it would be for what he thought were good reasons.

When he stayed where he was, she whispered, "Jack, I know you think you've changed. Let me prove you're the same person I knew all those years ago."

"How?"

"Lie down."

"And what?"

"And don't move."

She smiled reassuringly, then brought her mouth to his, kissing him tenderly, then with more passion, feeling heat flare between them as it had back at the hideout. Yet this time instead of reaching for her, he pressed his hands against the mattress.

That submissive gesture told her how much he wanted her and how determined he was not to do anything she didn't welcome.
