Beyond Reach is the gripping second novel in the True Calling trilogy, continuing the story of Ariana Skyee in the weeks after she arrives back on Earth.
We
are almost back at the entry-point when Zane darts suddenly behind a tree,
tugging me along with him. My back is flush to his chest, as his arms tighten
around me. “What the …” His hand clamps over my mouth.
“Don’t speak out
loud or move an inch. I’ve just spotted some mini-drones.”
“What the hell
are mini-drones?”
“They’re
government-deployed, low-level surveillance drones. I’d heard that the
authorities were using them to identify Clementia sympathizers, but this is the
first time I’ve seen them sniffing around here. This isn’t good. I’ll need to
advise the War Council.”
My heart is pounding in my chest, my breathing
labored, but I keep still and silent as instructed. Warm breath cascades over
my neck, and my body tingles all over. Zane is pressed so snuggly behind me
that I can easily detect all the hard, taut lines of his body, and I blush
furiously. Resisting the urge to squirm, I spend an uncomfortable ten minutes
locked in his embrace. His arms rest precariously close to the swell of my
breasts, and I’m self-conscious as hell.
When he finally releases me, my entire body almost
folds in on itself in relief. I look around at him, and his gaze is intense. My
eyes narrow suspiciously, and he arches an eyebrow innocently. He may look
angelic, but oh yeah, he knew what he was doing all right.You can find Beyond Reach on Goodreads
