no! It just makes the mystery of you more captivating.” She leaned close and looked me directly in the eye with one of hers and in a conspiratorial tone asked, “You’re not a former Soviet spy are you?”
    “I’m a little young for that don’t you think?” I responded with.
    “You did not answer the question comrade! Are you a spy?” Her fake Russian accent was so terrible that it was comical.
    I answered her in Russian. Her eyes alive with interested curiosity she asked, “What did you just say?”
    “Now wouldn’t you like to know?” I said smiling.
    “Hey!” She exclaimed punching my shoulder as I chuckled.
    I rolled her off my lap onto the sofa cushions beside us and quickly slid over top of her pinning her to the sofa. Her eyebrows rose markedly, but her smile remained open and inviting. This was easily the most domineering that I had ever been with her and I could see that she liked it.
    “Now Miss Anna Courtman soon-to-be Anna Gravitausky I’m going to kiss you for a little while longer, but then I must go for the evening. What are your plans for tomorrow?”
    “I need to go collect some more things from my old apartment, but other than that not much why?”
    “I have business to attend to in the morning and I just want to know where you’ll be.” I said before I started to lean down and kiss her, but the petulant look she gave me stopped me.
    “What?”
    “What did you say a little while ago in Russian? Please tell me!” She begged softly.
    “I said that the green sparkling fire of your eyes reminds me of why it’s good to be alive.”
    Her smile deepened and her eyes got smoky with passion. “Nikolai you forgot to ask me what I’ll be doing for the rest of the night after you leave.”
    “What will you be doing?”
    “Dreaming about what it will be like to become all yours in just two days.” She said huskily, as she pulled my head down for our shared kiss.
     
     

Chapter Seven
    Seconds to Live
    I got what I needed done a lot earlier than I had expected to. I’d made a rush job of it, because the idea of Anna going back to her old neighborhood didn’t sit well with me. I wanted to escort her there and back to ensure her safety.
    She’d come to represent so much of my life that I really didn’t know what would happen if she were taken from me. She put the excitement back into living for me. I knocked on her door and after no answer I knocked again. Had she already left?
     
    Anna was still cringing over how much the special daycare agency that she left Kevin with for the day had charged for their services. It didn’t matter that she could afford such care now it still felt wrong.
    Daycare providers knew full well the leverage they had over people by and large and they appeared to be taking full advantage of it! She had only needed Kevin watched for six hours today, but she was being forced to pay for the entire week! It was robbery only under a different name in her book.
    Such injustices had always rankled and even infuriated her. More often than not the perpetrators of these injustices were overlooked and allowed to continue on unchallenged. Free to continue raking in the money and dealing out abuse to people. That was why she devoted all of her time when she wasn’t working a job or spending time with Kevin to the effort of bringing to justice those who had hurt Kevin.
    It wasn’t right what had happened to him and even now the same thing was still being done to thousands, if not millions of babies each year. It was doubtful that she, despite all of her efforts, would ever make any lasting impact, but she was still going to try because it was the right thing to do. As long as she was alive she would be a voice for Kevin and the growing millions suffering just like him.
    It didn’t matter if no one would listen to her. She wasn’t stopping her work. A successful, meaningful life, came down to doing the right things in the time that was allotted for each to live. Her
