If you were truly 'here for me,' you would have a Kahlua in one hand and Henry Cavill's number in the other. Since I'm not having drunken phone sex with Superman, there must be another reason you're darkening my living room.

Sometimes you have to go 'yippee-ki-yay' on a person who deserves it.

Fallon, you're my Achilles Heel. I want to fuck you senseless, until you feel me imprinted on you even when I'm not inside you. But that's all I want--all I can allow myself.

I don't want forever. I never did... I just want right now.

I don__ want forever. I never did_ I just want right now.

Fallon, you__e my Achilles Heel. I want to fuck you senseless, until you feel me imprinted on you even when I__ not inside you. But that__ all I want__ll I can allow myself.

When you get down on your knees in front of me it won__ be out of gratitude. It__l be because you want to be there._--Ciaran Ross, Killer Curves

You__e going to let her wander into someone else__ arms? There__ another man who could protect her better than you? Well, if that__ true_

My lover is dead.And they think I killed him.I'm running rogue. Hell bent on both revenge and redemption. Whatever it takes, I'm going to finish a job that began nine months ago. An unauthorized assignment that turned horribly, devastatingly wrong. My miscalculation. My fault. My heart left shattered into incomplete pieces which will never wholly fit back together again.But first I have to outsmart my former organization and the hired killer they've sent after me; a ghost from my past who knows my every move, who__ been inside my head, my heart, my dreams and memories: Jaxson.I'm the traitor, Kylie. The rogue mercenary, Jaxon's newest assignment. And this is our love story.

Lies. All lies. Bree was shaking so hard she bit her tongue, but she didn__ even feel the blood in her mouth. Kill her husband and seduce the widow. She thought she__ never felt as angry as when Michael died, but this, oh God, her entire body was a live wire of rage. She was so furious, she was almost numb. So numb that she didn__ even feel herself reaching for the gun she had pulled out of the glove compartment and pocketed. So numb that she didn__ feel herself lift the gun and aim. So numb that she saw nothing, but his eyes, staring back at her in wide eyed surprise and confusion. She felt so numb she didn__ even feel herself pull the trigger.

She met her father in the living room. __'m begging you not to kill him._ Her father scowled at her. __his man is our sworn enemy. He has-_ __ know who he is and I know what he's done. I also know he is Gianni's father, and in our hearts, he is Will's father. Will loves him._ __nd you,_ Jack snorted. She glared at her uncle. __his is not about me._ He was silent, but his disbelief was there in his eyes. Bree turned back to her father. __e did what he did on the order of his father. Even though I despise Bernardo, we all know that family is everything. It doesn't make it forgivable, but it does make it understandable. I'm begging you for Will's sake. Don't make him lose another father._ __he could be pregnant with his child,_ Beth said softly, coming out of the kitchen. Bree gave a start. They hadn't been trying to conceive but it wasn't outside of the realm of possibility. She grabbed on to the lie. __ am._ Her father's mouth fell open and her uncle swore. She met her sister's gaze in gratitude. __hat's right. I found out in Ireland that, yes, I'm pregnant again._ Beth gave her a tiny nod, acknowledging the lie. __on of a_ Her father clenched his fists. __on't leave this baby without a father, Daddy. Please._ John looked from her to her sister. __ntie the son of bitch and toss him on the street.

How could she even think what she__ thinking? Alessandro wondered silently as he watched Brianna glare pure murder at the misguided Gertie smiling up at him. Alessandro cocked an amused eyebrow and gave her a polite smile when he noticed the look on Brianna__ face. Didn__ she know that if it weren__ for all these people, Alessandro would drag her onto the bar and fuck her madly? As it was, his body had maintained its state of semi arousal for most of the morning and into this late afternoon. He was half-tempted to drag her into the nearest closet. And she was jealous. Alessandro wanted to laugh at the ridiculous notion. While he could still appreciate the beauty of young Gertie on an aesthetic level, Brianna really had ruined him for other women. If anything, the fact that she had carried his son in her body, given birth to his child, made his primal need and want of her all that more intense. Alessandro considered himself sophisticated and well-schooled in the ways of women and how to seduce them. With Brianna, he just wanted. Her strength, her heart, her passion, her courage, all coupled with a body that kept him hard as a rock for more time than was surely healthy, created the only woman he would ever love. Ever.

Alessandro! Will!!_ He could hear Brianna__ voice a few seconds before his head came up through to the next floor. Stubborn, bloody woman! he cursed. __h God, Will!_ Bree screamed. __hat happened?_ She rushed towards them, coughing as she grabbed for her son. He shifted his weight to hand him over to her, but the movement sent another bolt of screaming pain from his ankle up to his leg and Alessandro lost his footing, falling back into the basement. Alessandro!_ Bree screamed, and then he heard no more.

Bree arched, trying to stretch out her muscles and Alessandro gave her a dirty look as if she was displaying herself to him on purpose. Well, maybe she was a little. Even though he blocked her from the hotel attendant__ gaze with his body in the doorway, Bree was sure to cover herself with the blanket. Alessandro turned around, pulling in the tray with him and his eyes flared hungrily as he looked down at her. __ou look like a beautiful debauched angel,_ he said, his voice rough with desire. __nd you__e what, the demon that__ corrupted me?_ Bree asked raising an eyebrow and letting the blanket fall down to her waist, baring her to him. __t__ my life__ work, you know?_ Alessandro grinned, going down on to his knees and leaning over her. Bree placed a hand on his chest, halting him. __s that coffee, I smell?_ she asked. __he debauched angel is kind of hungry._ She bit her lip and smiled up at his frustrated face.

My, my, and you accuse the Dardanos of trying to run the world. As you so succinctly put it, you have no desire to be a part of my life, which means you have no say in where I choose to live, sunshine. I, on the other hand, made no such declaration._ __od, I hate you,_ Bree seethed. Alessandro smiled and tapped the end of her nose playfully, resisting the urge to tear her thick coat off of her and take her right against the wall. __ou keep telling yourself that, love. We both know better.

Okay, someone__ been smoking the wacky tobacky. And keep your hands to yourself!_ She smacked at his roving fingers, fighting the shivers following his touch. "I agreed to let you accompany me because, well...maybe you're right. We should try and put the animosity between our families-stop that!" She gripped his fingers and tried to twist them, but he easily pulled out of her grip. Alessandro laughed. __arling, I haven__ laughed in ages like I do when I__ with you. I propose a clean slate, eh?_ He sighed and sat back against the seat. __rianna. I__ not going to give up until you are mine. You could make this so much easier if you just accept the inevitable._ He lifted his hand to cup the side of her face. __e belong to each other, and you know it.

Alessandro burst out laughing and Bree wrapped her arms around his neck. __on__ think about the past anymore. Let__ move forward and let__ be happy._ Alessandro cocked an eyebrow. __s that an order, young lady?_ __es, Sir. From this second on, you__e not allowed to think about how much we hurt each other and how stupid you were-_ __ow stupid I-_ __h!_ Bree pressed her fingers against his lips. __ow stupid we both were._ __nd what would the punishment be for disobeying such an order?_ Alessandro asked, his fingers trailing down her back. __h it would be very bad,_ Bree assured him playfully. __ery?_ Alessandro asked, his eyes lit with amusement. __h yes. Brutal. Vicious even._ __h that does sound terrible,_ Alessandro agreed. __here might even be whips,_ Bree warned. __h dear,_ Alessandro smiled.

Father, perhaps you__e forgotten the fact that when my child was conceived, neither Bree nor I knew who the other person was._ __i, ai, ai_ Alessandro, open your mind, please! It was fate, my boy._ __h, good God, here we go again,_ Arturo threw his hands up. __on__ you have a puppy to go kick?_ Alessandro asked, his brother__ voice grating on his already stretched nerves.
