With a shift, I let my dress slip from my shoulders and fall to the floor, revealing the lingerie beneath. Nathan's eyes darkened, as closing the small distance between us, his lips claimed mine in a possessive kiss. His tongue tangled with mine, both hungry and tender. Then, slowly, oh so tantalizingly slowly, he backed me toward the bed, his kisses travelling down my neck, across my collarbone, before they moved lower still… ~~~ FBI Agent Brianna Hart had always wanted Nathan Pierce, her stepbrother, and for several years they had been lovers, but circumstances forced them apart. When Brianna returns to her former job within the FBI, she finds Nathan married. When he once again becomes her team leader, Brianna tries to maintain a professional relationship with Nathan. But after a tragic accident takes the life of Nathan’s wife and unborn child, Nathan seeks solace within Brianna’s arms. Old feelings flare to life between them, and both struggle with the undeniable sexual attraction between them. Brianna's heart is torn over her love and need for the newly widowed Nathan, while he grapples with the loss of his family and his re-awakened feelings for a woman he never quite let go of.

~BRIANNA~With a shift, I let my dress slip from my shoulders and fall to the floor, revealing the lingerie beneath. Nathan's eyes darkened, as closing the small distance between us, his lips claimed mine in a possessive kiss, his tongue tangling with mine, both hungry and tender. Then, slowly, oh so tantalizingly slowly, he backed me toward the bed, his kisses travelling down my neck, across my collarbone, before they moved lower still, his teeth grazing the sensitive tips of my nipples.Afterward, as he laid us on the bed, my moans joined the sound of fabric tearing as Nathan ripped my panties off. With a gasp, I arched off the bed, my arousal growing, further dampening my already swollen and wet folds. As his mouth found my center, I bit down my lip to keep from screaming out in pleasure. His tongue, a masterful artist, began stroking and teasing until I was writhing beneath him, begging for more. My nails dug into his shoulders, leaving half-moons on his skin as I felt myself c...

As I grumbled to myself about full-of-themselves jerks, I followed Nathan to the bureau. Then, after parking, I fell into step beside him as we made our way toward the bureau. Our anger with each other wrapped around us like an afghan wrapped around a Grandma, and after entering the bullpen, he stalked off toward his office. I followed several steps behind, still grumbling. Man, his mood was black this morning, but mine was darker!Entering his office, I came to a stop, taking in the papers he was tossing with an uncaring attitude toward his desk from the filing cabinet. As he continued to toss papers, I watched as some hit the desk, while others fell to the floor. After a few seconds of demonstrating his foul mood, he looked up, barking at me. "Where the hell is the Aikins file?""You’re acting like a big baby," I snapped back, glowering at him as I crossed my arms over my chest. He wanted to be an ass...let's see who could be the biggest. Eyes rolling and a snarl curling his upper

Patience gained a whole new meaning, as with every faltering step, he'd pause, laughing, before we'd start again. Though our steps were slow, and I had to use a great deal of perseverance, I finally got him into my pickup, and by the time I got him to his house, he'd passed out in the seat, emitting little snores. Reaching out, I caressed his cheek, causing him to stir a little. But when he didn’t rouse fully, I ran my fingers across his cheek again. “Come on, wake up Nathan, I need you to help me get you inside."After a bunch of tugging, pulling, and outright cursing, I finally got him into the house. Now, as he sat on his bed, snoring again, I held him in a sitting position, struggling to get his shirt unbuttoned. When I finally freed the last button, he slit one eye open, peering at me blurrely, as he muttered, "I didn’t think you were ever coming back…I would have waited for you." Within seconds of the words leaving his mouth, he flopped backward on the bed, and started snorin

That evening, as the sun began dipping toward the horizon, I sat huddled in the middle of the floor of my living room, memories filling my mind…~December 24th 2009-six years earlier~When I'd finally managed to fall asleep, it had been late. My head, it seemed, had only just hit the pillow, before a pounding on the front door startled me awake. Rolling off the bed, I hit the floor on my knees with a yelp before I managed to scramble to my feet. Using an arm to swipe at the hank of hair hanging in my face, I glanced through blurry eyes at the clock on my bedside table. What the fuck? It wasn't even quite six in the morning yet, and some jackass was trying to beat the damn door down.Stumbling my way out of my bedroom and down the stairwell, I grumbled none too quietly that whoever the motherfucker was, they had better have a damn good reason for waking me up at the ass-crack of dawn.Finally, having woven my way across the floor of the entrance hall like a drunk, I came to a stop befo

Sucking in a breath and roughly pushing me away again, Nathan raked agitated fingers through the natural messy tangle of his hair, making it even messier. He gave a low growl, before hissing, “Because I'm bad news baby and because you have no idea what the fuck is good for you. No idea of the fucking things I've done…things I’m going to continue doing. No idea of the fucking things I've been through, or have fucking chosen to do. You have no fucking idea of who the hell I really am…and moreover, YOU DON’T FUCKING WANT TO!“Who are you trying to make believe that bullshit Nathan…you or me? I’ve seen your good side and your dark side, so, I’d say I know you pretty damn well!” I hissed.Nathan snorted, before sneering, “No, you don’t! And as for you seeing my dark side—hardly—you don't know a fucking thing about my dark side…the secrets I hold, and furthermore, you don’t want to, I can assure you of that! Believe me, baby, when I say, you have no clue who I am. Truth to tell, I’m pretty

Three hours later, we were both drunk and out on the dance floor. Beyonce's Dance For You, was blasting out of the speakers, and I was making suggestive moves with my hips when I felt a body slide up against mine, and then begin grinding against me.Even without Minx's eyes widening before narrowing, I knew who was behind me. Hell, even if I'd been unconscious, I'd have known. His cologne and warmth surrounded me, and I found myself grinding right back. The thick hardness pressed against my ass spurring me on.Leaning his head down until his lips rested against my ear, Nathan continued to bump and grind against me as he growled, “Yeah. You’re not making this friendship thing between us easy.” Then, with a hoarse, "Fuck!" he released me, and disappeared into the crowd.The next morning, slitting an eye open, I uttered a groan. Feeling like I was on death’s door, I gingerly leaned over, grabbed my purse, and dug out the pain relievers buried within its depths. After shaking two tablets

As Nathan had reached the exit, he paused again, where leaning his forehead against the door, he'd raised a fist and banged it with the outer edge of his fist, before shoving the door open he'd stepped through, and was gone.Shaking off the memories and restless, I rose from the floor and began to pace about the room. The low throb of a bike reached my ears, and I groaned. "Oh, God—not, now." I was still too raw—my defense's down. "Hell," I grumbled to myself. I couldn't even lock the damn door and hide behind it, as it stood wide open, splintered. Drawing a breath, I stood motionless, listening. All too soon, I heard the thump of Nathan's boots as he stepped up on the porch, each step drawing him closer.Finally, raising my head, I squared my shoulders, and drew another deep breath, before turning. My eyes collided with Nathan's as he stood in the busted doorframe. He gazed in my direction, eyes inscrutable. Finally, he looked away from what had become a staring contest between us.

The next couple of hours passed as I put away items in the kitchen and bathroom, occupying myself, and refusing to let my mind wander. Hunger pains finally drove me back into the kitchen, and placing a few of the takeout boxes in the microwave, I heated them through. Sitting down at my new table, I began to eat my solitary meal. A few minutes later, I was preparing to toss the almost untouched meal in the trash, when my cat, Mr. Friskies, came in through the open back door. Instead of scraping my plate in the trash as I'd intended, I scraped the food into his food bowl. Afterward, I moped around the cabin for another twenty minutes, before deciding I'd had enough, I made my way outside. I knew what I would see, but I had to settle the argument in my head. So, climbing in the pickup, I headed toward town.Ten minutes later, I stared at Tami’s Acura sitting beside Nathan’s truck, "Dumb-ass, what did you expect? They’re married!" my inner-voice mocked."Oh, fuck off," I grumbled back

Turning before he could see the tears in my eyes, I quickly walked toward the doorway and out into the hall, forgetting all about my coffee.Hours passed, dragging the minutes behind them, and thankfully, Nathan never appeared at his desk, though occasionally I could have sworn I felt his eyes on me. The month-long day finally passed, and it was nearing seven before I made it home.After carrying an armload of shopping bags into the house, I headed toward my bedroom. Depositing the bags on the floor next to my closet, I greeted Mr. Friskies as he jumped on the bed. Immediately he complained in a throaty objection of what a lousy caretaker I was since I'd left him to starve two hours past his suppertime.If I'd been in a better mood, I would have laughed at his antics but as I wasn't, he just pissed me off instead, so I growled at him. His vocalization quit immediately, and he gazed at me out of huge, non-blinking green eyes."Yeah, that's right, buddy. I'm in a worse mood than you are
