He pulled out slowly and turned me around in his arms, and I sagged against his chest, boneless and laughing, and he laughed too, breathless, and kissed the top of my head.
"Was that part of the husband training?" I asked, muffled against his shoulder.
"That was the advanced course."
"I think you passed."
"I think I am going to need a lot more practice." He reached past me and turned the water off, and we stood there dripping and grinning at each other like a pair of fools, and he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me with more care than the fabric deserved. "Come on. Bed. You have been up since dawn and it is catching up with you."
"Only because someone exhausted me."
"You love it."
"Unfortunately, yes."
I leaned down and pressed my lips to his ear, so soft and I whispered, "Even if the whole world turns to ashes, I will never let go of your hand."
He did not stir. He just breathed, slow and steady, and I kissed the tip of his nose, and then his forehead, and I lay back down beside him with my hand resting over his heart, watching his face in the moonlight, the love and the fear and the reverence all tangled up in my chest until they blurred into something I could not name.
I do not remember falling asleep. I only remember that I was still looking at him when I did.

The readers' comments on the novel: Two Can Play (Celeste and Dominic)
Agent Frost better teach Tasha how to protect herself if anything gets out of hand or if she’s ever in danger or forced again...
I need some good news for Tasha. Special Agent hear her out and don’t let her get back into that life. Do I hear a romance or someone Tasha can truly count on besides Scarlett??...
I hope Tasha is let off and helped by this detective and gets away from all this maybe a twist for this novel is she gets on the good side of things and gets away from that life completely even if she has to separate herself from Scarlett but it appears Tasha gets hurt by Scarlett’s and sparrow’s stupidity as she’s blamed for Scarlett’s decisions...
Her life is ruined and Scarlett’s been living a luxurious life through it all...
I officially hate everyone for hurting Tasha and allowing things to happen to her. This whole Sparrow and Scarlett situation is some BS....
It’s a bit stupid that as powerful and ruthless sparrow is he and Scarlett sure do a lousy job of protecting and having guard on Tasha. Like how did all of this happen to her if he was supposed to be protecting her based on the contract??...
More Chapters Please...
I thought it said 10 chapters a day??? It’s been like 2-3 days and no update after chapter 574. The release time is so inconsistent, I have started to just loose interest....
Just find Tasha and get her some help. How did she have sparrow’s men watching her if she really cared so much. Scarlett’s character is so suspect…...
Storyline is interesting it’s just so much sexual content I have to skip through just find out the main context of the story....
