waist to steady her. Taking some deep breaths to calm
herself, Carli managed a whisper. "This is a mistake. Cliff would never do anything like this. He must be in some
sort of trouble. I have to help him."

She grabbed his shoulders, trying to shake him. Make
him see the truth in her eyes. After all they had been
through, how could he suspect her own flesh and blood of treason?
"Wait a damn minute!" She backed away from him.
"Why are you really here? Do you think I have something to do with this? Am I a suspect?"
He hesitated.
So that's how it was. She was under investigation
along with her brother. Blinded by anger, she scooped up her gun from the floor and aimed it dead center at his
chest.
"Whoa, Carli." He threw his hands out in surrender.
"There's no need for that. I don't personally suspect that you are involved in anything. I'm just here to gather
information and wait to see if your brother contacts you."
"Why should I believe you?" Tears were welling in Carli's eyes, but she would be damned if she allowed them to fall. All these years, she waited for him to return so she could beg his forgiveness, and instead he showed up here with a charge of treason, ready to arrest her brother and possibly her, too.
"Believe me? Why wouldn't you?" he frowned. "Have I ever lied to you?" No, he hadn't lied. Just disappeared and left her frustrated and confused for far too long. Too much had happened, and too much time had passed. She
couldn't tell him now that she had come back six weeks
later, prepared to beg his forgiveness for leaving him, only to find him gone without a trace. The only man she'd ever loved was standing in front of her. He wasn't nineteen
anymore, and it was clear he didn't have feelings for her.

She lowered the gun. "I don't trust you, Aidan."
"Not a problem, sweetheart. You don't have to trust me. Just cooperate with me. The sooner you do, the sooner I'll be back on my way to Washington and back out of your life, just like you want."
A flash of wild grief ripped through her, gripping her
in panic and fear, at the thought of him leaving her again.
Despite everything, she craved another chance.

Aidan finished dressing and joined Carli in the living
room. She had changed into a tank top and running shorts and now lounged on the couch with her eyes closed. He
took this time to appreciate her long tanned legs. Despite what happened between them in the past, he wanted those legs wrapped around his waist as he plunged his cock into her tight, wet pussy. His already half-hard dick stiffened at the images that produced.
Spending time with Carli would be harder than he'd
originally thought if he didn't get his sexual urges for her under control.
Carli shifted slightly on the couch, exposing a small
bare patch of silky skin on her belly that beckoned to him.
Moving to the couch, he loomed over her, considering his options.
"Stop staring at me as if you want to bite me." She'd opened her eyes while he'd been staring at her naked skin.
He did want to bite her. Maybe even spank her. Definitely fuck her. She stirred some longing deep inside him that he refused to think about it. He couldn't. No, wouldn't give her or any other woman the chance to hurt him again. If he took her now, it would just be sex. He was in control.
His gaze dropped from her eyes to her shoulders and
traveled down to her breasts. Her nipples peaked under
the thin cloth, and unable to resist, he reached down and pinched one between his thumb and forefinger. A quiet
moan escaped Carli's lips, quickening her breath. Aidan 64
