All The Right Reasons (The Seduced Series) (7 page)

Chapter Seven

We arrived back at the estate and
it felt so good to be back home after the dramatic day we just had to endure coming back from a month of pure bliss. I was happy that Colin gave me a chance to become a secret agent even though I was scared of the unknown. I had to just seem sure of myself. In all honesty I was terrified and I hated the thought of being away from Dennis. I couldn’t think about it too much or else I’ll end up changing my mind. It was too late to turn back now; I had to see this through if I wanted to be with Dennis.

“Welcome home
!” Amber yelled as we walked in. Carmella was standing behind her; smiling.

“Thanks,
It’s good to be back,” I said hugging Amber then Carmella.

“How was it?” Carmella
asked smiling.

“It was paradise
, absolute heaven,” I said smiling at Dennis.

I was exhausted from the flight, the confrontation with Colin at the airport and his office. I told everyone about our stay at Isle Angie and the side trip to mainland Jamaica. I left out the whole CIA thing, Dennis could explain it better to them than me. Just the thought of me being a secret agent still gives me chills.
Me, secret agent Moore, I laughed to myself as I still couldn’t believe that Colin said yes. After a good half an hour of talking about our trip in the living room, Carmella told us to rest up. I didn’t say no to that, after a day like today rest sounded like a good idea. Dennis and I lay in the bed together in silence; I knew something was bothering him or he had a lot on his mind, probably both and it had to be about me. So I nuzzled my cheek onto his chest.

“Say something, please?” I asked.
I hated it when he is mad at me.

“Nothing I say will change your mind
, so what’s the point?” He said in a tone making me recoil from him. I immediately sat up and looked at him, my eyes were pleading with him.

“Dennis,
I have to do this,” I said as he too sat up while cupping the sides of my face with his hands.

“Why?” He asked. H
is voice strained as his gaze bore into mine.

“You know why
,” I whispered touching the back of his hand. He leaned forward and rested his forehead on mine in defeat.

“Should I get
on my knees and beg for you to stay?” He asked quietly.

“Please don’t
do this; it’s already hard enough as it is. You’re the love of my life, you’re my air, my everything. Leaving you is hard for me too. Please don’t make it any worse for me,” I said as he sighed and lay back down on the pillows. He opened up his arms for me and I went back into his embrace as he stroked my hair.

“I know
love, and I’m sorry. I’m just being a little selfish I guess. Plus it’s not too long, only a week,” he said and I smiled.

“Good, because I’m going to be more than selfish
after that week when I come back,” I stated to him. I was going to stick to him like glue. But for now I had to focus on the task at hand. I heard him let out a loud chuckle, because of my little comment of being selfish when I get back.

“You won
’t hear me complaining,” he said then paused. “Do what you have to, I’ll always support you,” he added sincerely.

“Thank you
,” I whispered and he kissed the top of my head.

“
I have to support you in everything you do, even if that thing is crazy, delusional and…” he teased.

“Okay, okay
I get it,” I cut him off with the teasing and we both laughed. “Well if you really want to support me, be a good man and make love to me,” I purred as he gave me a devilish grin and then laid me on my back.

I needed to take full advantage of this because a whole week without Dennis
is going to kill me. He hovered over me, used one hand to cup the side of my face and kissed me. I let his tongue devour me, letting him taste my need for him. I arched my back and pushed my breasts into his hard chest as he grinded himself into me. As he pulled away, I bit down gently on his lower lip and sucked it into my mouth. I felt a groan of pleasure vibrate from his chest for the desire he had for me. His hand moved to the back of my head, grabbed then pulled my hair making my head tilt back so he could have a deeper access to my mouth.

“What you do to me Angelina, it bewilders me,” he whispered against my lips.

Already missing his touch, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his mouth back down to mine. I felt the pleasure light through my veins every time he kissed me liked this. Our tongues danced in each other’s mouths tasting one another’s desires. Once again he pulled away; he was just about to say something as I brushed my fingers across his sensual lips. A small carnal smile splayed across his face, he slipped my finger into his mouth and sucked it before gently biting on it. I smiled just before I bit down on my lower lip, he is so lascivious and I love it. He stared down at me with hungry eyes as I had a primal urge to rip his clothes off of his body. But before things started to get interesting a knock came at the door. Damn it!

“Dennis, your Uncle Charlie is on the
phone. He said it was urgent.” Carmella’s voice came through from the other side of the door. He let out an exasperated sigh.

“Rain check?” He asked as he leaned his forehead a
gainst mine.

“Take care of your business, I’ll be waiting,” I murmured. He gave me a quick kiss and left
me hot and bothered. It must be important, he hasn’t been at work in a month, only using his laptop on occasions to get what he needed done and his uncle is probably concerned why he’s been MIA. He has sacrificed so much for me over the last few weeks so I can’t be mad. I laid in the bed reflecting on the wonderful time we had at Isle Angie as my eyelids became heavy and I let sleep take over me.

Dennis and I trained hard for the rest of the week.
He was strong and agile, intelligent and experienced. I could see why he was regarded as one of the best agents around, he showed me how to disarm an individual at close range, and man did I have a lot to learn. He also showed me how to disarm an individual when I was held as a hostage. Whenever I could I’d cast him a scornful look for pushing me too hard, he would just laugh and tell me that he’s preparing me for what was coming. I knew worse was coming so I pushed on trying to not let my ring power me forward in succeeding. I had to do this all on my own.

He also taught me
the basics of using certain gadgets; that part was fucking awesome! He revealed his secret spy room to me, where he stashed dozens of weapons and gadgets. I was beyond shocked when he pulled out a book from his study’s bookshelves; it slid to the side and revealed a huge metal door. It was something that you would see in a James Bond movie. The inside looked like Batman’s freaking batcave; it was a candy store for a secret agent. I got all giddy and shit from all this stuff he had, I asked him if I would get my own secret little spy room and he shook his head no, telling me that he would give me anything I wanted, anything but that. I put on a pout face and he laughed. I really don’t care, just the thought of it sounded cool at the time.

In between Dennis’s
training I found a little time of my own to work on trying to control the powers from my ring; it was difficult not knowing how or where to start and what I was actually doing. Among my preparations of training with Dennis and figuring out what powers I had from my ring, I was able to take those tests Colin set up for me, I had to go to headquarters to do them. I didn’t miss the stares and whispers from the other women that were there gave me. I only hoped there wouldn’t be any animosity towards me when just a few selective women would go for the intensive one week training just because of rumored favoritism. When I was there I was not Angelina, I was Agent Evers’s girlfriend; it wouldn’t have bothered me if they didn’t have say it with such a steel edge to their voices. I didn’t say anything to Dennis about it but he knew me all too well and I was not fooling him. He knew something but he didn’t pry on it.

The only person that seemed to treat me differently; well not really because we haven’t talked yet; but she would wave or smile at me then go back to doing her thing. She had short brown hair and striking dark
green eyes, she had this edgy look to her, which surprised me because she seemed nice. She looked about my age too, which was cool. I told Dennis about her and he identified her as Isabella Rolands. He also told me that Colin chose her specifically, just like me. At least I knew who was safe to talk to.

When it was almost time for me to leave,
I had to fight with Becca and Pam for them to cut my hair, I threatened them that I would go a salon or do it myself if they didn’t do it. I couldn’t keep it as long as it was, I wouldn’t have time to maintain it properly plus it would interfere with my training. Of course Dennis didn’t like the idea either; they were all being ridiculous, I could always grow it back. It’s not that serious. After finishing a long week of preparations with Dennis, it was time to say my goodbyes. I tried not to linger too long around Dennis; I knew if I did I wouldn’t have left. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and turned to head for the bus. I gave one last glance over my shoulder at him, blew him a kiss and mouthed ‘I love you,’ just before I got onto the bus. I took a seat toward the back of the bus and looked out the window as Dennis was leaning up against the BMW. This was going to be the last time I see him for a whole week. I took in his sexy looks and leaned back into the seat, I closed my eyes and sighed to myself as I thought, it’s only one week.

Going through this
week of intense training, a lot has changed since I arrived here. I knew a lot would be expected of me because of Dennis’s status in the agency. My new nickname here is now Barbie. I can’t complain. I came into all this all primped and pampered. I’ve noticed some slight changes to my body while being here. With the high protein diet and rigorous physical training it was more toned and defined. Everything from my arms to my thighs, I had a flat stomach but now it looked almost like six-pack. I laughed to myself; at least now I can be compared to Dennis physically. My hair is still short but it grew pretty quick for only being here for a week. I can’t say much about that because it always grew back fast whenever I cut it, that’s one of the reasons why I never really cut it, but instead of letting it hang down I kept it tied up now; only to keep it out of my way when I was training.

Everything that I learned
over this week is being put to the test today. Some instructors paired us into groups and set up test missions for our group, it was exciting to finally do this for real. When the group missions were done it was time for the solo missions. The individual missions were in the large simulator; it was pretty cool in a way, it felt like I was in a giant video game. You had to kill or be killed in order to survive, but most of all I liked the realistic nature of it. As I shot my last holographic enemy soldier the simulator shut down.

“Good job Moore.
” I heard one of the instructors say through the speakers and then doors opened.

I walked out; glad I didn’t screw up.
Over the last few days of being here I’ve sneaked off on the low to practice controlling the powers from my ring. I still couldn’t be sure if I made any real progress on that. It was hard trying to control something that I didn’t quite understand, but I found that when I focused on my center rather than my head, that’s when I get better responses. I found out that I could move objects, though I haven’t tried to move large ones because I had to be discreet about the whole thing, I didn’t want to get caught. I don’t know any other powers yet because they’re still unknown but I will work on that another time. It was hard to keep my gift a secret, Colin told me not to say anything but I really wanted to say something to someone. It was a little after dusk on a Saturday, when Isabella and I waited together for the instructors to brief us on our next training mission.

“Barbie! Rolands!” We both walked over
to the officer. “Go see Jameson, you’re going home tomorrow.”

We both
turned to one another smiled and went to Jameson’s office. Jameson was a ranking officer around here. She was the one who said if you’re in or you’re out. So I guess we’re both in. As we both entered her office we saluted her then took our seats.

“You’re training as
secret agents does not end here ladies, you must constantly grow and expand your knowledge and capabilities through hard work. But for now you can pat yourselves on the back as you’ve survived our rigorous one week training,” Jameson said with a slight smile playing on the corners of her lips. “This facility is proud of you both, go out there and don’t let us down. This is where we part ways but we are never far away, we’ll be watching you both,” Jameson added sparing me a sideways glance; I know, because of Dennis. “We will meet back at the New York Headquarters for your graduation ceremony, until then enjoy the night off because you’re shipping out early in the morning,” she said nodding as we got up and again saluted.

Chapter Eight

I
went to work today only because I needed to wrap up this multi-million dollar deal with David Maltiz and his reps. When Angelina and I were in Jamaica, he offered me to buy out his company. I don’t like to make any decisions without discussing them with my Uncle. So I told David to wait till I got back home. During the past week, my Uncle Charlie and I decided that we would buy out the company and sell the shares to other investors for a quick buck. As I entered Evers and Evers, I gave a quick hello at the reception desk and went straight to my office. Once I was seated I was immediately surrounded by my entourage of employees giving me things to sign and approve for the Maltiz deal, at least multi tasking was one of my strongest traits from working here.

Once I had a moment of peace, I sat down in my leather chair as Stephanie
entered, smiling and extending her hellos. She started giving me a rundown of my schedule for the rest of the day as I checked my calendar. Holy fuck! Today is Saturday, that means my lovely Angelina comes home today.

“
I’m sorry Stephanie but set up a meeting with the finance department in the next ten minutes and clear my schedule for the rest of the day,” I told her and she agreed.

I leaned back in my seat scrutinizing her.
I’ve really overworked the poor girl over these last few weeks of me not being around. Plus this past week alone, due to me distracting myself from missing Angelina by burying myself in my work to keep me from thinking about her every second I had free. But the whole company buy out shit with Maltiz has been hectic as fuck and very time consuming.

“Anything else Mr. Evers?”

“Yes, take the rest of the day off,” I said and she looked at me like I had ten heads. “I’ve been working you too much over the last few weeks,” I added.

“
It’s no problem sir, besides I love this job,” she said smiling genuinely. Stephanie hid behind the capable PA act but I knew she still had feelings for me, as did other women. Only one woman mattered to me in this world and that was my beautiful, Angelina.

“I insist,” I said but she shook it off
. So I decided to leave her be. She wants to work by all means, that’s fine with me.

I wrapped up the meeting with the finance department
in twenty minutes as I got a call from Colin. He told me to stop by his office; he needed to tell me something. I drove to the CIA underground headquarters and went straight to Colin’s office as he has requested to see me before the bus arrives for Angelina. I don’t know if it’s good or bad news. I haven’t seen or spoke to Colin since Angelina told him that she too wanted to join the agency.

“Take a seat Dennis
my boy, it’s good to see you again,” he said sitting down and I too sat down.

“As always you too,” I said. I was just
glad that our brief indifference between Angelina and I was finally over. The one thing I liked about him was that he never held grudges; he dealt with matters accordingly and professionally.

“You must
be excited about Angelina’s return,” he stated and I smiled.

“What did you want to see me about?” I asked
as he picked up a file from his desk.

“Her actually
,” he said and my eyes narrowed not quite understanding. “This is an overall evaluation of Angelina’s performance by Executive Officer Jameson,” he said as he opened it and started reading me some of their conclusions on her. My eyes grew wide as Colin read on, it seems Angelina did what she does best. Colin handed me her file and then he slumped back into his seat quiet satisfied. “She seemed to have raised a couple of eyebrows at the training facility, Officer Jameson does not give compliments lightly,” he said grinning.

I nod
ded reverently going through her file. Officer Jameson is one of the most respected female undercover agents, and one of the fiercest women in this agency. By her saying such good things about Angelina was utterly astonishing and wonderful. Colin and I talked more about Angelina and I and our future we held in the agency, he seemed happy to be keeping both of us and more happy that we all were on the same team. He told me that he needed to speak with the both of us once she arrived, so I agreed to come back with her. I said my goodbyes with him and left to drive to the recruitment facility drop-off.

I saw
a couple of other people waiting for the bus to arrive. The wait wasn’t long at all, ten minutes after arriving I saw the bus enter the facilities parking lot. It stopped and as a bunch of women began exiting the bus, some seemed to be in good spirits as others held their heads low. I knew that Angelina would be one of the few in good spirits. I saw Angelina come off the bus with Isabella, me not seeing her for the past week slightly forgot just how unbelievably breathtaking she truly was. She didn’t seem to notice me staring at first as she was saying her farewells to the other women that were next to her.

I had the pleasure of watching her take her
luscious hair down and run her fingers through it absently. I was glad to stand back and watch the woman that I fell in love with from afar, god I missed her so much over this past week. Her eyes shifted around and her gaze met mine, a wide smile spread across her face; I couldn’t help but smile back at her. She walked towards me, and that’s when I really looked at her. One thing that didn’t change was her sweet and approachable demeanor, although now it had a little edge to it but the biggest change I noticed was her body, damn just when I thought it couldn’t get any more perfect. I swallowed hard; I couldn’t wait to see what it looked like with her clothes off. The thought alone was making my cock twitch in my pants.

“Dennis!” S
he said excitedly while wrapping her arms around me, my arms went around her waist lifting her off the ground.

“Mmmm, I missed you my love,”
I said kissing her, and she smiled when I placed her down on two feet. I hugged her tight as I breathed in her alluring scent; she always had her own distinctive smell that was so delicious to me. The perfume she always wore only through it off, but since she didn’t have any on her scent was driving me wild. She played with collar of my shirt as I stroked her hair. She then lifted her head from my chest.

“Did I
ever tell you how sexy you are to me?” She asked. Her remark threw me for a bit then I laughed at her confession, she didn’t always comment on my looks as I did to her. I’ve had people tell me I’m good looking my whole life but when it came from Angelina it just made my day even better.

“You do wo
nders for a man’s ego,” I teased and she rolled her eyes. “But don’t let me stop you.”
