another.’
    ‘Don’t got soppy on me.’
    ‘Have you ever known me to be soppy?’
    ‘No, but there’s a first time for everything, and with all these weird urges to emotional ties…’
    ‘Weird urges?’
    ‘Ain’t neither of us is normal, Sam. Weird urges.’
    Sam nodded, looking resigned. ‘You may be right.’

    Raw sensation. Nerves tingling from the top of her head to the tips of her toes, but definitely more of a burning somewhere in the middle. Fox had lost herself five minutes ago in the almost hypnotic motion, the rise and fall, the roll of hips. There was no sound, no light. She had found her way to her current, intensely pleasurable, condition by touch. She had no desire to leave it, but it was inevitable that it would end and, when the inevitable could be staved off no longer, she felt him swell within her, the added sensation driving her over into the blind, searing wash of climax which claimed her entirely for an eternity…
    ‘Thanks,’ Fox said. She still lay atop him, still straddling his hips with the thickness of him filling her, but now she was almost sprawled on his chest, still unwilling to leave. She had retained enough brain power to raise the lights a little and the warm red walls of her bedroom just added to her feeling of contentment.
    ‘I believe I should be thanking you, mon chérie.’
    Fox looked down at the wide mouth, the sharply angled features, the cool blue eyes so full of heat. ‘I’ve spent the last couple of days reading legislative documents, and you let me sleep without dreaming about them. Thanks for coming over.’
    Jason Deveraux, captain of UNTPP New York, developed a wicked sort of smile. ‘Any man requested to “come over and fuck my brains out” by you would be some sort of imbécile to say no.’
    Fox grinned. ‘I did say that, didn’t I? And you did do it too. But… back to work. After a shower anyway.’
    ‘Alas, the same is true for me.’
    She stroked a hand over his chest and fought the urge to persuade him to stay for another thirty minutes… ‘Hey! You couldn’t spare half an hour or so to talk to the Palladium board, could you?’
    Jason raised a quizzical brow. ‘About what?’
    ‘The private policing regulations. We’re having a meeting on it first thing and it would be interesting to hear an international perspective on the subject. Don’t tell me you guys aren’t watching this pretty closely.’
    ‘We are observing, obviously.’ His expression became thoughtful. ‘I will tell the office I will be in late. Inter-agency relations.’
    ‘I thought that was what we’ve been doing.’
    He chuckled. ‘Move, before I make us late for your meeting.’

    ‘Okay, guys,’ Fox began as she sat down in the virtual conference room which now occupied her office, ‘no embarrassing releases of sensitive information while our guest is at the table. Alice, roll your tongue back up.’
    Vaughn’s image showed no signs of her tongue hanging out, but she shot Fox a mock glare. ‘I was only drooling a little.’
    ‘She never drools at me,’ Jarvis commented, affecting an over-dramatic, sad tone.
    ‘That’s because I got to know you.’ Vaughn was one of those people Naomi had been talking about when she had mentioned controlled people who liked to give it up to relax, except in reverse, sort of. She was naturally a bit shy and submissive, but had learned to overcome it by letting her temper out, a little bit at a time. Fox had heard that all her members of staff were terrified of a real dressing down because then she let her temper out all the way and strong men quaked in their boots. ‘Shall we proceed?’
    ‘Quite,’ Eaves said. ‘Since we have Captain Deveraux–’
    ‘Jason,’ Jason said. ‘I am only semi-officially here and it will take twice as long if we keep up this formality.’
    ‘Jason, then. Since you’re here, perhaps we can kick off with matters likely to concern international law enforcement.’
