"We've waited long enough," Tanya said, "it's time to get you and Grey inside the operation." Tanya stood outdoors on a wooden deck looking out beyond a green forest toward the Rocky Mountains. There was a light dusting of snow on them which matched her new platinum-blonde and shorter hair. She shivered in the Colorado air, it was an unusually chilly morning by late-October standards. She still could see her breath dissipate as she exhaled.

She briefly glanced back into the mansion before returning her attention to her cell phone.

"I still think it's too soon, Tanya," Wilson retorted in an impatient tone, "It's barely been two months, how do you know the trail is cold?"

"Because we embarrassed them, Fred. This is coming on the heels of some of the worst intelligence since 9/11. They were cocky and confident and thought they had us."

"For Christ's sake, they did have us! They got two agent's into our operation"

"One of whom turned and was going to walk away with the designs. Hell she was gonna do our job for us and she worked for them!"

"And yet we still barely got away."

Tanya rolled her eyes. Wilson wasn't paid this much to be so calculating on his own, he was just supposed to look and act the part. His job was to play devil's advocate and to watch her back, but now he was just being pessimistic. There was no time for them to stop now. She knew very well how close they all came to being captured last month, but she had to keep them going. She also knew from reliable sources that the FBI had buried the case and walked away.

"Think about it… if you were the FBI would you want the facts that you had botched intelligence, and one of your agents turned their back on your country? They want all of that to disappear as much as we do."

"How long have you been in?" Wilson asked.

"Just a few weeks," Tanya said, "I finally spent the night at his estate. He's getting ready to go into the office. How soon can you get to Colorado?"

"Grey and I can be there tonight."

"Good," she said with a devilish grin, "I have a feeling he's going to need extra security quite soon." Tanya didn't wait for Wilson to acknowledge anything further… the conversation was over. She hung up the call and tucked the phone into her robe just in time as she heard someone approaching her from behind.

"Miss Walker, you're going to be late for work," the man said, "as my new executive assistant, I expect you to be at the office before me ready to brief me for the day." He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Tanya craned her neck around to kiss his cheek, and grasped his hands within hers, "Then you shouldn't have kept me up so late last night, Mr. Benjamin." Despite the cold air, there was an incredible sensation of warmth coming from him. It didn't take long before she realized he was naked.

Benjamin's hands released her grip and slowly untied her robe. She let it fall to the deck; a slight thud came from her phone as it landed. He tightened his grasp around her mid-section with one arm, and cupped one of her breasts in the other. He rolled her nipple between his thumb and forefinger. "Cold morning, isn't it?"

Tanya nodded and shivered at the same time. The cold air blew against her exposed front, and she broke out in immediate goosebumps. It was unique sensation to be freezing on one side but warm against the other. She wondered if William Benjamin was feeling the same.

William Benjamin, the CEO of Comtron Incorporated, a major telecommunications company that was on the verge of a major breakthrough, a breakthrough that Tanya was determined to get her hands on. It was their last ditch effort, because she knew they couldn't be invisible forever. The payoff for Comtron's secrets would be significant for them to fully disappear.

It was shame though; she had come to enjoy her job.

A couple weeks ago, Tanya infiltrated Comtron, much through the same standards she normally does, as an administrative associate. She went through great pains to put herself around Benjamin as much as she could. It didn't take long for the bachelor CEO to notice the young, innocent, doe-eyed and clumsy secretary.

Tanya intentionally got herself in the hot-seat among her supervisors, missed deadlines, dropped calls, lost messages, all for the purpose for Benjamin to come to her rescue.

And rescue her he did. She actually had been fired when Benjamin found her crying in the company café. Fake tears of course for Tanya couldn't remember the last time she truly cried for a good emotional reason. She had memorized his habits and knew he would be in the café at that time. After a long conversation, cancelled meetings and plenty of flirting, he brought her on as his executive assistant.

Never mind that he already had a small cadre of secretaries, Tanya was different, he told her. He told her he had full faith in her and her capabilities.

As Tanya got to know Benjamin better and as she gained more access to her daily schedule, a handful of suspicious phone calls began filtering through her desk, insisting to speak to him. She orchestrated all of these of course, but Tanya began expressing her concern for his safety. Benjamin told her not to worry as things like these have happened before. Everyone was trying to get a piece of his money, but he knew what he was doing and was very careful, he said.

Nonetheless, Tanya began to suggest that she be allowed to bring in outside security, especially after some integral files went missing shortly after a harassing phone call. Benjamin rebuffed her requests, so some more files went missing, and the calls continued.

Tanya knew exactly what had to be done to convince him to see things her way once she learned he drove himself into work each day.

Yesterday, another call blatantly threatened his life, and she threw herself into his office in tears, feigning concern for his safety. He told her he would consider possibly adding extra security to protect himself and his company. After sobbing in elation and gratification, Tanya threw herself into Acton's arms and gave him a long hug. That long hug turned into a kiss, where Benjamin immediately suggested they go to his house to work on some projects.

Whatever projects they were, if there ever were any, were put off because they spent the rest of the evening in bed. As well as the shower, living room and kitchen. Benjamin was a man with incredible stamina, but he was still a man, oversexed and gullible as ever, Tanya thought.

Despite the chilly morning and the light snowfall that just started, the outdoor deck, exposed to all the elements became the latest spot to satisfy Benjamin's overclocked libido. The wooden planks were cold and solid against Tanya's back, and in between gasps of pleasure, Tanya said in her most sultry voice, "I'm going to be even later for work, sir."

That sent Benjamin over the edge and he collapsed upon Tanya's petite frame following his climax, "Don't worry," he said as he tried to catch his breath, "I know your boss really well."

After the two finished getting ready, they were already two hours late. They left the house and walked down the path leading to the circular driveway in front of his house. In front of them was Benjamin's red Maserati.

Without warning, the car exploded in a massive fireball. Benjamin threw Tanya to the ground and used himself to cover her. Flaming debris rained all around them, including a small piece that carved a gash in his arm. Tanya didn't come out of it unscathed either; her face was cut by pieces of glass. She intended to have a talk with the guy she hired to do the job. She wanted to send a message, not kill the poor bastard and maim her in the process.

"Are you OK?" Benjamin asked.

Tanya nodded and turned on her tears once again.

"I'll do whatever you want, Tanya. Christ, bring in your friends… bring in everyone!"
