A former FBI agent.
A Brazilian dancer.

Two souls haunted by ghosts of their past.
One looking for retribution, the other for atonement. Both seeking solace.

A solitary existence is all they know, until fate brings them together. Mutual attraction leads to the perfect pact that will keep them safe. No commitment, just friendship and sex. But nothing in life is risk free.

When suppressed emotions emerge, a seemingly impossible decision has to be made. Do they fight their growing feelings or retrace their lives back to where wounded hearts can be broken once more?

Retrace

 "God, ouch! " I cry and bite my lips, breathing through the sharp pain.


 "Ssshhh. . ." Reeves attempts to sooth me.  "You're kind of loud, babe. " He cranes his neck to look at me.  "I warned you it's going to be uncomfortable, try to relax. "


 "Uncomfortable? It. Freaking. Hurts! "


 "Stop babe-ing me! I told you, it hurts! And stop smirking! " I chide.  "It's not fair you're the only one enjoying it. " I take a deep breath, trying to calm down.  "Ouch, ouch! "


 "We can't stop now, " he says, a hint of plea in his eyes.  "Why did you ask for it in the first place, really? It was your idea. " A bud of a smile roots on his lips.  "So, try to relax your muscles and enjoy the ride! "


 "For us. . .For our happy, " I say and send him a thin smile, the only one I can produce under the continuous piercing pain.  


 "You rock! " He winks at me, his full-blown smile almost blinding me.
