Synopsis
Daniel Hendricks wants a vacation. Ward Security’s accountant and resident code breaker just needs a little R&R from the chaos and usual shenanigans of the office.
But what was supposed to be a sexy vacation hook-up explodes in his face when he’s mistaken for a rogue secret agent.
Now he’s on the run with CIA agent Edward Raines from Bermuda to Barcelona to Paris as they try to find the secrets the real rogue was attempting to sell before another foreign spy does.
The chemistry between them is off the charts, but how is Daniel supposed to trust a man who had originally set out to kill him?
Edward tucked his backpack into the storage compartment under the rear bench seat and then walked to the captain’s chair in front of the steering wheel. There was another small drawer down on the floor. He jerked it open, stuffed the gun inside, and pulled a rag on top to hide it. Shutting the drawer, he stood and stretched his arms over his head, lengthening his body into a single, long line. Muscles burned and he could feel vertebrae pop into place along his back. The sun shone brightly down on him and glinted off the turquoise-blue waves lapping against the dock. The sky was a brilliant dark blue with only a few faint wisps of clouds lazily passing overhead. It was a perfect day.
Or rather, it would be a perfect day if he could start getting the information he was looking for out of this Daniel.
The man’s act was flawless as far as he could see. There was something so utterly disarming in his sweet, somewhat naïve persona. A quiet strength seemed to shine from his green eyes, but it was tempered by a layer of insecurity.
It was all an act, of course. Edward had spent a lifetime perfecting his own acts, and he could appreciate a good one when he saw it. And Daniel…he was good.
Good enough that Edward found himself wanting to believe him. He wanted to believe that he’d met someone unflinchingly nice and sweet. And attentive. Holy fuck, Daniel had a knack for getting him to talking about random, silly things during the dinner they’d shared. Yet, Daniel watched him in such a way that Edward felt as if they were the only two people on the entire island.
And that was dangerous thinking.
Bermuda was overflowing with summer tourists. It might feel like they were alone, but Edward knew they never were. Someone was always around watching, and Daniel didn’t seem too keen on spending all their time in his room. Shame too. He loved fucking the man.
Just remembering sinking into Daniel’s tight body had his cock perking up. Not the best time since he was only wearing a pair of swim trunks and they didn’t leave much room for error.
After dinner and sex, they’d lain in Daniel’s bed for a while, just talking about a lot of nothing, before they started rolling around again. Within minutes, another condom was found, and Daniel was riding him. Edward was pretty sure he’d never seen anything so sexy in his entire life. There was no fighting the orgasm that barreled through him with frightening speed. Less than an hour later, Edward stumbled to his own hotel room, feeling drained and sated within an inch of his life.
But not really closer to his real purpose for coming to Bermuda in the first place.
He needed to win Daniel over. Get Daniel to trust him. Let his guard down.
Dropping his hands back down to his sides, Edward glanced around the docks. The boat rental wasn’t far from the hotel, and he’d had no trouble securing the boat for a few hours. He figured he had two options. One was to take Daniel out and continue wooing him until he finally slipped up and dropped his guard. The other was to take Daniel out to the middle of the ocean, torture him until he finally confessed, and then dump his dead body into the ocean.
One would likely get him laid again. The other was messy but could be fast. Both would get him closer to his ultimate goal. He wasn’t fond of fucking a man hell-bent on betraying his country, but there was no denying that Daniel was sexy in a bookish kind of way, and he was so damn fun in bed. Why not enjoy it while he could?
