Agent in the Dark - Page 42/131

I let her beat at me with her fists unimpeded, as I captured her lips in a savage kiss of need. My need.

I let her mouth go and she gasped for air in panicked fright. I grabbed her shirt and tore it down the front and pulled it apart to reveal her smooth skin. I debated about tearing the pretty bra off, but I didn't need to rush this and doing so might hurt her.

I kissed the upper swell of one breast above her bra line, as I worked my way up toward her neck. I felt the point of the knife dig into my side enough to break the skin. I had been expecting this.

I continued on my journey, as I dared her to plunge the knife in deep. The knife pressed in deeper and it hurt, but all I did was to continue to press kisses against her throat. The knife left and I heard it clatter to the floor, where she'd tossed it like I knew she would. She wanted to break the Code more than anything and to do that she needed me alive.

It was a dirty underhanded way to get the best of her, but it had worked and now she was mine for the taking. She'd gone still beneath me and showed no further sign of resistance to the inevitable. Curious I drew back a little and met her eyes. She was still breathing a little hard, but her face was strangely calm and her eyes direct, as she watched me.

"Can we talk a little before you continue?" She husked out softly.

I couldn't deny her that and I nodded my acceptance of a temporary lull in the action.

"Thank you. I don't even know your name."

"John." I said softly.

"John may I ask you a question?"

I nodded.

"What do you want most?"

That seemed like a silly question, "You!" I said for lack of a better answer to the obvious.

"Your deal with this Agency, although I don't like it, I have to admit that it's binding, because as by now you know that I would sacrifice anything in order to break the Code and you give me my best chance to do that." She gestured with her head off to where she'd tossed the knife for emphasis of her point.

"But deal or no deal John, I don't deserve to be treated like this." She pulled both of her hands up to lay beside her head and exposed her wrists to me in a sign of surrender.

"I'm yours John, but you can only have me one of two ways. I won't fight you anymore. You can do with me as you please, but know this John! If you continue to take me now against my will, I will hate you for it! Whatever joy you hope to achieve from being with me will disappear and you will long for the day, when you can get rid of me. There is, however, a second option open to you."
