COME BACK, Dark, & Deadly #2
By JA Huss
Genre: Erotic Suspense
SYNOPSIS
“Secrets keep the darkness alive,” Harper tells me. But that’s not how I see it at all. Secrets keep me alive. The truth is overrated. Honesty is never the best policy. And when your job involves killing the most dangerous men on earth, knowing more than you should, will get you killed.
Death is a business deal,” I tell her back. And I shake his hand every chance I get. Secrets are currency in my world. I pay my debts with them. I feed on them. They ground me in the present and they promise me a future.
But Harper Tate is everything I’ve ever wanted. She is my promise, she is my past, she is my future. She can be mine. She will be mine. All I have to do is complete the mission.
There’s just one problem.
I have no idea what it is.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
EXCERPT
He takes three quick steps
towards me and I back up instinctively, but I hit the sink. And then before I
can come up with another plan, he’s pressed up against me, standing over me
almost. His stare is captivating because everything about his expression, his
body language, his breathing—all of it says this moment counts. His hands hover
over my shoulders and then he give me a crooked smile.
“Harper,” he says calmly.
“What?” I snap again.
“I want you. I’m going to
touch you. I’m not fighting with you anymore. It’s a waste of time. I’m going
to fuck the shit out of you right here, right now. In this goddamned desert
shithole bathroom even though you deserve to be fucked on a tropical beach or
somewhere with a mountain view, or, hell, even the goddamned Hummer would be
better than right here. But you know what?”
I swallow down my surprise.
“What?”
“You gotta make the most of
what you got. And we’re not on a tropical beach or in front of a goddamned
beautiful mountain. And fucking Smurfette is probably out in the Hummer. So
this is all I got.”
“None of this has anything
to do with the fight we’re having.”
He smiles and then nods at
me. “Oh yes, it does. Because here’s the thing, Harp. We are about to have
makeup sex. Right the fuck now. And if you don’t want me to do that, then feel
free to finish this fight properly. You ready?”
“So you’re gonna force me.”
“I’ll count to three so you
can have a few more moments to decide. One.”
My heart begins to beat
wildly. “What the hell—”
“Two.” His hands are still
hovering above my shoulders but now they slowly descend to rest on my upper
arms. “Three.”
I expect to be turned
around, pushed against the sink, and fucked from behind.
But that’s not what I get at
all.
His hands descend down my
bare arms, stopping at the elbow for a brief moment to caress the soft skin on
the underside. And then they continue down to my waist. He eases them
underneath my tank top, and then places both palms flat against my skin. “I’ll take
that as permission to proceed, but feel free to stop me at any time.” And then
his strong hands grab my waist and place my ass on the edge of the sink. He
cups my face and leans in, his lips lightly touching mine.
I kiss him back. With
tongue.
I can feel the smile on his
lips. Because he knows I gave in with that tongue. He won this fight hands
down. I am out for the count before the bell even rings.
