pleasure raged through her double-penetrated body.
    From somewhere far away she heard herself scream out Jude’s name. Heard herself begging him to never leave her.
    She heard his hoarse affirmation, as his cock spewed his heated release deep inside her.

Chapter Six
     
    Wrapped warmly in his arms, Cate couldn’t stop the smile from sliding over her lips and her heart filled with happiness.
    Jude Outlaw was a fabulous lover, better than she remembered.
    “ You’re almost due for another shot of medicine,” Jude’s soft whisper caressed her cheek.
    “ I know.”
    “ I heard they’re coming out with something new. Instead of daily injections you’ll be able to take the medicine in pill form once a day.”
    “ I just wish they’d come up with a cure for it,” Cate sighed and snuggled deeper into his embrace.
    “ The researchers are working on it. They say it’s only a matter of time. They just have to find out how to stop the trigger that switches on the sickness in the DNA. Once they find it they can turn off the switch then no more sickness and…“
    “ No more medicine. I know many other women have it even worse than me but sometimes when the sickness hits I wish…”
    “ What?”
    “ Oh, never mind.”
    “ Tell me,” Jude nuzzled his raspy five o’clock shadowed face against the nape of her neck.
    “ Sometime I wish I would just die.”
    Every muscle in his body tensed against her.
    “ Don’t ever say that again. Don’t even think it, do you hear me?”
    “ Why? Would you have missed me?”
    There was a long hesitation before he replied in a soft tone. “If you had died, I would have been walking around like a zombie. Just like my brother, Luke, has been doing these past few years. He was so careless in the Terrorist Wars he almost got his head blown off a few times. Cripes, he was in the hospital more times than I can count.”
    “ He still misses Callie.”
    “ A love like they had never dies.”
    Cate worried her lip. Now that talk turned to her sister, Callie, she figured it was time to tell him something she hadn’t had a chance to tell him.
    “ I promised I’d never say anything about this but I think I better say something about Callie.”
    “ Is she dead? Did they send you word?”
    “ No, she’s not dead. She escaped from an experimental facility.”
    Jude tensed against her.
    “ What? You’re kidding? You’ve seen her?” Disbelief etched his voice.
    “ No, but my other sister, Laurie, spoke to her.”
    Jude unwrapped his arms from around her and bolted upright in the bed. His eyes blazed dark with excitement.
    “ Where is she?”
    “ I have no idea.”
    “ Shit, Cate! When did all this happen?”
    “ She dropped by Laurie’s place weeks ago. She needed some money. Laurie gave it to her and Callie left without telling her where she was going. She said she didn’t want to put anyone’s life into danger.” Cate forced back the stab of intense worry she’d felt for her sister ever since she’d been taken by the government.
    “ Did she at least say how she can be contacted?”
    “ She said she’d be in touch with Laurie. I don’t know where she went, Jude. She said the authorities were after her.”
    “ Shit!” Jude stood up and began getting dressed.
    “ What are you going to do?”
    “ Heading back to shore. Luke has to be told.”
    A shiver of nervousness skittered up her spine. They were going back. Back to reality.
    When he was dressed, he sat down on the bed beside her and caressed her hair.
    “ You’re due for an injection. I’ll give it to you and then I want you to rest. I’ll wake you up when we get back.”
    Cate nodded.
    He quickly left the cabin to retrieve her medicine.
    She bit her bottom lip and stared out the windows at the cheerful sunshine streaming down onto the ocean.
    She hoped Laurie would forgive her for telling Jude about their sister, Callie. Cate shivered and hugged herself. She’d heard horror stories about those experimental
