His jaw tensed, and his fingers dug into my skin, but then a low, husky chuckle escaped him. "You really enjoy pushing boundaries, don't you?" His free hand traced a slow path down between us and he suddenly cupped my pussy causing a gasp to slip past my lips, "Just so you know, Poppet-I have a lot of respect for you, but in the next hour, I'm going to make you forget that I ever respected you at all."

"Hugging my wife," he murmured against her cheek. His warm breath sent shivers down her spine. "This—wasn't part of the deal," she protested weakly, his cologne intoxicating her senses.

D’après lui, Allyn possèderait le même don qu’Axel, son frère défunt, à savoir celui de circuler dans un monde parallèle… mais dans quel but ?

Et pourtant…
Entrainée par le flot de révélations et le désir d’en apprendre plus sur son frère, Allyn doit se rendre à l’évidence, l’Organisation et la mission qui lui est confiée semblent bien réelles ! Et tous comptent sur elle pour reprendre le poste qu’Axel a laissé vacant, à l’exception de son coéquipier pour une raison encore obscure…
