Agent
Kathie Belmont has long lusted after her boss, Ross Guerrero, but has never
plucked up the courage to even flirt with him. Could he be the strong but
tender Master she craves?
Ross
wants Kathie in his life—on her knees. But the constraints of their jobs with
an ultra-secret US security agency have come between them.
Until the sadistic drug-trafficker El Silencio is tempted into a deal with Ross’s undercover persona—a deal that will go down at a BDSM party. With Kathie disguised as his sex slave, Ross sets out to bring down the criminal gang, and perhaps to tempt Kathie into performing her role for him…forever.

Excerpt from Chapter One
Station chief Ross Guerrero tapped a pencil on his blotter
and scrutinized Kathie Belmont, seated on a straight-backed chair on the other
side of his wide, government-issue desk. A soft-faced young woman, she had the
healthy good looks of a college student or a California beach cutie, common
here in San Diego. Her mink-brown hair with tasteful gold highlights was blunt
cut at her chin, masking a strong jaw line. Wide, long-lashed eyes regarded
Ross with openness and candor.
With multiple piercings in each ear and a silver toe ring
peeping from her sandal, she looked like any girl attending San Diego State,
UCSD or even Chula Vista High. In reality, Belmont was twenty-nine years old,
had graduated with honors in criminal justice from Pepperdine, then gone on to
a short but successful career as a police officer in Los Angeles. She’d joined
the US Security Agency, performing well during training and in her first
assignments. Now he’d find out if she was ready for more demanding tasks.
Her appearance was as useful as her black belt and her
Glock. Living proof of the maxim “you can’t judge a book by its cover,” Agent
Belmont, who’d been orphaned as a teen, had capably cared for her two younger
siblings, fighting to keep her family together. She was as competent an
operative as any he’d encountered during his thirteen years with the agency.
“Here’s the situation.” Ross set his china espresso cup into
its saucer with a click. “There’s a group of baddies selling drugs just over
the border. Mostly steroids, but some crystal, crack, horse … you name it,
they’ve got it. Because they’re in Mexico, the usual law enforcement agencies
can’t go in.”
Her hazel eyes gleamed. “But we can.”
“Yes, we can. But
there’s a twist.”
She shrugged tanned shoulders, revealed by her sleeveless
pink blouse. “Isn’t there always?”
“They run their drugs
and whores out of a party house.” He eyed her, wondering if she was up for the
job. “An orgy house.”
Her brows lifted. “They still exist in the age of AIDS?”
“They do. This one is in a chi-chi area called the Zona Rio,
on the south side of the Tijuana River.” He paused, tapping the pencil on the
blotter. “I can’t go in without a woman.”
She cleared her throat. “Exactly what would this mission
entail, sir?” Her voice was crisp and professional.
Even so, Ross noted the signs of nervous excitement. A
slight sheen of perspiration between her breasts, where their tops were
displayed by the scooped neck of her shirt. She fiddled with her hair and
didn’t meet his eyes. She crossed her suntanned knees, exposed by a blue denim
mini-skirt, then recrossed them, giving him a brief glimpse of pink panties.
His pulse jumped. Had she intended to flash him?
He cleared his throat. “They won’t know you understand
Spanish," he continued. "You’d listen as well as watch my back. This
is a group of evil bastards with absolutely no morals. They’re even selling to
steroids to minors, school kids with a dream of getting out of the slums as
athletes.”
Her lips firmed. “Let’s get ‘em, sir.”
“Your life could depend upon unswerving obedience to
protocol. Truthfully, Belmont, I’m not sure you can do it.”
She bristled. “Why not?”
“The second in command is a, uh, rather unusual woman. A
Dominant in a country of submissive females. To impress her, I’d accompany you
as your submissive. Your…slave.”
Her elegant jaw dropped. “You’re shittin’ me.”
He wagged a finger at her. “Language, young lady.”
“Pardon me, sir.” She shut her mouth with an audible snap,
then said, “Is this plan sanctioned by HQ?”
He evaded, saying, “You know that they give me considerable
latitude.”
Her eyes narrowed. “In other words, no, but you think you
can get away with it.”
He smiled.
“Why me?” Her intelligent gaze shone from a face vivid with
curiosity.
“You’re smart and tough. You’re used to giving orders, the
way you did to keep your family together.”
Her chuckle was rueful. “Confidentially, sir, you have no
idea how much that took out of me.”
He shrugged. “The USSA is demanding. And this mission will
take a lot out of both of us. Do you think this would be easy for me?”
“I don’t know.” Her gaze stroked him again, still brimful of
curiosity, though now the curiosity was tinctured with something else.
Something more.
Sexual curiosity. She wanted to know what he was really
like, at a very basic level.
“Would it be easy for you to be…submissive?” she asked. “Is
that who you truly are?”
“No, but if I have to, I can fake it. Can you be dominant?”
She bit her lip, her eyes dropping. Her whisper was
incoherent.
“Speak up,” he said. “If you’re going to run this, run me,
you have to state your orders and commands clearly.”
She raised her chin, and her eyes sparkled. Were those tears?
She drew a shaky breath. “You know I’d do anything for y...the
agency.”
Had she been about to say, “I’d do anything for you?” Desire
tightened his balls.
“But I don’t know if I can be something I’m not,” she went
on. “I can manage situations, yes, and run any mission you choose. But acting
like a sexual dominant…” She shook her head. “That’s not me. I’m afraid I’d
blow our cover and get us both killed.”
He hesitated. The only other option involved possible abuse
of his authority, but the mission was paramount. On the other hand—
“W-what about reversing our roles?” She broke into his
thoughts.
Had she read his mind?
But he had to be sure. “You mean, I’d dominate you?”
She swallowed audibly. “Yes.”
A long pause ensued while he wondered if he’d fallen into
his favorite fantasy. Finally, he managed to speak.
“That could work.” He walked around the barrier of his desk
and knelt next to her chair. His face was now level with hers, his gaze fixed
on her eyes, her wide, nervous, expectant eyes. He read fear there, as well as
blatant feminine curiosity.
He’d have her exactly the way he wanted, but he’d have to
take care. A single wrong move, and she’d bolt.
Ross leaned closer, inhaling her cologne, a fresh, bright
scent he didn’t recognize but suited her perfectly. He let his lips brush her
neck, and watched the tiny hairs shift in subtle response. “I could do that,
but can you? Can you give me unswerving obedience?” he murmured into her ear
before nipping the lobe.
She gasped, and he chuckled. “Just let go, Belmont. Just…let
go.”
She turned her head to shoot him a steady look from those
compelling hazel eyes. This time, their gazes met and clashed. Her eyes were
bold, unflinching, utterly unafraid. That surprised him, but Belmont often
surprised him. It was hard to remember that her naïve façade hid a smart, savvy
agent.
He’d respected her competence and admired her beauty. Now
he’d enjoy bending her to his will.

Spy Game by Sue
Swift
Prologue
San Francisco, California
On Saturday afternoon, Gar saw an umbrella hung in the
signal tree in Golden Gate Park, so he met his contact in the Castro at
midnight. To anyone watching, they’d look like two guys outside a crowded bar,
sharing a smoke, but his contact passed Gar a tiny package, a package worth
millions to his customers in Indonesia.
He tucked the package inside his jacket and mounted his
motorcycle, heading for Potrero Hill and the shelter of a safe house. As he
passed through a residential area, he slowed, and only then did he hear the
growl of another motorcycle on his tail. At first he thought it was
happenstance, but as he turned one corner and then the next, with the following
motorcycle’s roar ringing and banging in his ears, he realized he’d been
tagged.
Gar tried every trick he knew to shake the tail, but nothing
worked. Too late, he saw that he’d been herded toward the shore of the bay,
heading too fast down a dead-end alley, with warehouses on each side and a
chained metal gate in front of him.
Braking too hard, he jerked the bike into a sharp turn in
front of the ten-foot-high gate. The bike slewed on the slick, damp street,
drawing a screeching curve to the left before crashing into the cyclone fence.
He hit hard and went down, his bike clattering on its side,
sliding out of the fog lamp’s amber halo into the dark, misty night.
In a haze of pain, he lay stunned on the pavement, moving in
and out of consciousness, with the bitterness of failure flooding his mouth.
The other motorcycle stopped. Gar heard the scrape of boots
on asphalt. Blinking, he raised his heavy head a fraction to see an hourglass
figure silhouetted against the golden light. He groaned and dropped his head
back. One hand scrabbled toward the precious parcel, seeking to protect it.
The boots stopped close to his head. Too close, but nothing
he could do about it. Too weak. Too much pain. Should have worn a helmet…
Motorcycle leathers creaked. He smelled jasmine, felt
warmth, sensed she knelt beside him. He blinked again.
She had a jaunty smile and eyes that gleamed green even in
the dim light. Opening his jacket, she removed the package, which contained the
prototype of the computerized brain that would run some of the United States’
newest, most sophisticated guided missiles.
“Thank you.” She tucked the package into her jacket and
walked away, her boots crunching. He heard her bike kick, catch, and roar away,
its growl receding into the misty night.
