.Like, how did you really end up in the Phillyoffice?Ellis took a deep breath. Tommy Su is in and out of some highcircles in Washington, DC.We kept an eye on him, and the trail108TANGO IN THE NIGHTled us to a mole in your department.Warren agreed to take me onas a sort of covert liaison.I let my head drop back. Warren said you had a few things totell me.What a fucking mess. I looked over at him. Well, ifnothing else, we ll confuse the hell out of Su. Yeah, really.I have the information on Chicago from the DCoffice.You want it?My pulse spiked at the thought of getting that intel. Let mespank you first.He grinned from ear-to-ear. Deal.Why don t we go upstairsand grab a little quickie? Ah, youth. Actually, I liked that idea, but business first.Thenwe could spend an hour in idle pursuits maybe. I do want a lookat what s on the memory key.My notebook is in on my desk.Whydon t you be a good lad and get it for us?Ellis rose with the grace of a predator.I envied him two stronglegs.Some days it was depressing to feel so old and infirm.He handed me the laptop, and I flipped it open.While itbooted, we watched each other.My lover kept licking his lipsprovocatively.I knew better than to kiss him.If I did, we d forgetall about business and end up in bed.I sighed.The jump drive held a lot of information, meticulously filed.Ellis had been very thorough and it didn t take long for me to getthe gist of it.But even with his encryptions, I was uneasy hecarried it with him.He assured me he had a full backup.I copiedthe info to the laptop under different safeguards.I wanted to hear some of his thoughts on the overall operation. Give me the short version. Okay.Golden Imports brings in raw materials from all over.Biggest route looks to be through Vancouver, then on to Chicago109TANGO IN THE NIGHTfor processing.From there, product is shipped overland, by water,and the occasional flight when demand is high.That was the short and nasty, all right, but I had more for him.San Francisco was another west coast port for Golden Imports. Ihadn t connected Vancouver yet.The Canadians will not like that.Where do they cross the border? All over.Every truck runs a different route each time.Pieces of the puzzle fell into place. We ve I ve beenlooking at this from a too narrow viewpoint.I ve concentrated onwhat s happening in my backyard.The whole operation isdeliberately very fragmented.Product is going in and out of Philly,but somewhere, they ve got to have a major hub, and my gut saysit s here. Yeah.They never do the obvious.Makes you feel a little silly,huh? Nope.It pisses me off.You told Warren all of this, didn tyou?Those gorgeous eyes watched me, wary. Now, don t yell atme, Jubal.I wasn t going to yell at him, but I had a few choice things tosay to Warren LaVale for not being completely open with me.DidI appear so weak and frail that everyone thought they had to babyme? Hide things from me? Protect me? I d fought to stand on myown two feet all my life.Everywhere I went it seemed peoplethought I was fragile.Even Cliff.For a moment I felt the ghost of his arms around me as wecrashed to the hard pavement.Momentarily disoriented, my visionspun.Was that a true memory, or had my mind suddenly suppliedit? I had lost those last moments between the first bullet hitting meand the world going black.110TANGO IN THE NIGHT If you could see what we see, Jubal, you d have the answer.My attention snapped back to him. What do you mean?Ellis grasped my shoulder. I know what you were thinking.Itwas all over your face.You re one of the chosen ones, Jubal.Therest of us look at you and see what we could be if we had a littlemore heart, a deeper soul.And yes, we protect you because youwon t protect yourself.I didn t feel chosen.My life had been one struggle afteranother.I d not been born with the silver spoon in my hand, unlikeEllis.What he spoke of was a mystery to me.Ellis looked sad as hereached for my hand. So what do we do first, Agent Graham?We should get some work done, that s what, but for the firsttime in my life, my heart called me to set the work aside.I grinnedas surprise flickered in his eyes. Sometimes you feed your soul first, Ellis.He stroked my cheek with the back of his hand. Maybe I mamazed.I never figured you to ever blow off the work. Consider this our lunch hour. I set my notebook aside andheld my hand out to him.He stood and pulled me to my feet.Itdidn t take us long to make it to the bedroom.Ellis stopped me. I hope you don t want a repeat of this morning.I pulled my shirt over my head without unbuttoning it andperched on the edge of the bed. I hope you don t want a repeat oflast night.His sharp gaze on my groin, Ellis kicked his Sauconys under awing chair and let his jeans drop to the floor.He stroked hiserection. What will it take for you to change your mind? So you want to bargain, do you? I tossed my pants at him,then scooted up to sprawl on the pillows.111TANGO IN THE NIGHTEllis knelt on the bed, straddling my thighs as his long fingerswrapped around my shaft.My hips lifted without consciousthought.He sighed as I leaned forward and eased my mouth overhis glans. God, Jubal, I ll give you whatever you want, do whatever youwant, if you just keep that up.I swirled my tongue around the rim and released him. Becareful what you say.You might find I have no scruples aboutsome things.Ellis fell to the bed beside me and gathered me into his arms.Irolled toward him and those incredibly soft lips met mine.Onestrong hand snaked up to cup the back of my head, then his tongueswept into my mouth, hot and demanding.I was eager to feel hislips on my cock once more, and to taste him again.I slid down across his torso, trailing little bites.He jumpedevery time I nipped him, his rosy erection lifting as his musclesflexed.Amazement that this gorgeous young man was in my bedrolled through me again.How did I get so lucky?A pearlescant drop had formed on the tip of his penis.I pressedmy tongue firmly to the flat mushroom of the head, licking awaythe sour-salty bead before I deep-throated him.Ellis moaned, hiships lifting to meet the motion of my hand and mouth as I suckedhim.His fingers closed over the back of my neck.Deep in my throat, I hummed, sending tiny vibrations throughhim.He moaned, his flesh pulsing in my hand.He muttered twostrained, breathy words that resonated inside me, sending little joltsthrough me. Don t stop.I d no more stop than fly to the moon.His thighs were damp,tense, as his arousal built to its inevitable peak.I held his shaft112TANGO IN THE NIGHTbetween my thumb and forefinger, lightly rolling the soft outerskin over the iron core.He moaned again, a deep, guttural soundthat gave me a split second warning before his hot semen filled mymouth.I stayed with him until the pressure of his fingers on my neckeased and his penis began to soften.Ellis looked at me with lazy-lidded eyes, a little smile bowing his lips. Thank you seems so& inadequate.Stretching out beside him, I kissed him with lips tasting of hissemen.His mouth opened eagerly under mine, and I took fulladvantage, delving into his heat before pulling away. It s fine. I flexed my pelvis against his side, rubbing myaching dick across his hip.I could get off doing that, but I neededto feel his lips on my skin again. Got your second wind, AgentBanks?His reply was to hand me the lube [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
