Mario searched Kara's lovely green eyes. They captivated him, and he didn't want to look away. "You did very well, and you were smart. See, no one gets hurt when you're smart."

She didn't answer, but he hadn't expected her to. He lingered longer than he needed. William's return had signified that the crisis had ended, but Mario liked being here, next to her. The temptation overwhelmed him to kiss her, while her soft, docile body rested against him. Foolishness. A kiss invited more trouble, and he didn't need anymore. Stiff legged, he pulled away from her. Her body warmth remained only a few seconds. Her mouth moved, liked she had a question, but didn't know whether to ask. "Go on and ask, if you like," he told her.

Her gaze penetrated into his. "What are you going to do with me?"

Not what he'd like to. He didn't say it, wouldn't say it, but he returned a slight smile. "You asked me that before."

Her lips pressed together for a couple of seconds. "And you never really answered."

He wouldn't answer now. On part, he didn't know. Keeping her scared served his purpose better, but nagging compassion ruled his heart. He wanted to tell her that he could never hurt her. That he'd rather be flirting with her, and wining and dining her in a romantic restaurant, somewhere that Carlos couldn't make his life miserable. "What do you think?"

She sucked in her breath. "I think that you're going to kill me."

Her voice was so low that he could hardly hear it. It quivered over each word. Guilt because of her fear heaped coals of hell fire upon his conscience. He didn't want to scare her, but he couldn't encourage her yet.

He leaned and brushed his lips across hers. He didn't dare try more, because her nearness affected him way too much. How could she be attracted to a spy? She did not respond, but her gaze showed her surprise.

"What did you do that for?" she asked.

"I wouldn't kiss someone I wanted to kill," he said.
