CHAPTER 1

THE FASHION SHOW MEETING

T HIS SPRING RAIN in Paris can really put a dimmer on a young man’s search for beauty. I better get in out of this downpour before I get soaked to the bone.

The courtyard was jammed with Rolls Royce and Mercedes limousines. There must be a party going on in there. Well, it won’t be the first party I crashed. I ran to the front door to find it open and unguarded, how strange these rich are.

Music was heard throughout the main entrance as I walked further in, up to a very large entrance. The doors were massive, I opened one slightly, peering into a large ballroom loaded with people. It was a fashion show, being held in this beautiful mansion.

I slipped into the room very quietly going unnoticed with all the attention being given to the beautiful scantily clothed models. They were beautiful, but too skinny for me. The bar was close to the doorway I entered, so I walked over and was given a drink by one of the men tending the bar. I sure as hell didn’t belong in this place, but I love to look at pretty women. Maybe I can meet one here today.

I do need a rest from the past three weeks of harrowing torture under those Russian sons of bitches. The K.G.B. makes our C.I.A. look like boy scouts playing with their putzs, but I got away from them anyway. That’s all that counts in my line of work.

Being a dual agent is not easy, but dangerous. I’ll take my drink and sit down next to that pretty dark haired young lady. The old man sitting next to her must be her father.

She didn’t see me sit down next to her, but she turned and smiled at me. That’s all I need, the rest is up to me. I smiled back at her while I undressed her with my eyes. She was the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. My member tried desperately to break out of my trousers to attack, but I crossed my legs, not allowing the monster access to the beauty alongside me. I’m so horny, but I better be good, this is not the run-of-the-mill-broad you meet in a bar.

After one hour of viewing all the skinny models in fancy clothing, there was an intermission. The beauty next to me asked the old man to bring her a drink. This is my chance to move in.

Excuse me, miss, could you tell me how long this show will last? I really couldn’t tell you. You look kind of bored with this show. I am, my husband loves to watch all the scantily clad models parade around.

Where is your husband? He just left to get me a drink. Are you kidding, he’s old enough to be your grandfather.

I know, but he gives me whatever I want, and he is the U.S. Ambassador to France. Is that all he gives you? That’s about it, he can’t get it up anymore but he is very good to me.

I’d like to know your name, it’s very difficult talking to someone and not knowing their name. She smiled and said her name was June Willard, and my name is Conrad Lamston. What are you doing at a fashion show, Conrad? I had to get in out of the rain. I’m glad it poured or I never would have met you. She patted my arm that rested close to the side of her thigh. This is one girl I must have, I can’t take my eyes off her. Careful, here comes her old man.

John dear, I’d like you to meet Mr. Lamston. He’s with the government. Glad to make your acquaintance. What area of government service are you in? I’m not at liberty to say sir. (I heard him whisper C.I.A. to his beautiful wife.) He seemed to be a very pleasant and trusting soul. Tell me Mr. Lamston, would you care to join us for lunch after the show. Thanks for the invitation sir, but would you please call me Conrad. Alright son, will you join us? Of course sir, I’m on leave, and can use some relaxation".

How the hell did she know I was an agent, he thinks I’m with the C.I.A., what a joke, they would love to have me on their team, but I work alone. No bosses and I pick my own assignments. She doesn’t know me, but yet she was able to come pretty close as to my line of work. I better be careful with her, she seems to have a pretty good head on her shoulders.

Her breasts are doing their best to pour out of the low cut dress she is wearing. She couldn’t be getting anything from her husband, that’s for sure, unless he’s getting down on her. Oh well, everyone must enjoy beauty no matter how old a person gets.

The music started again and the show was about to resume. I find it extremely boring, but not with the beauty sitting next to me. She shifted her hip to me pressing hard against the side of my now burning body. June is sure to become part of my life shortly. Money can do wonders to keep a girl looking beautiful. Her hair was impecably groomed as her make up, which was not overdone, she really didn’t need any makeup. June had the most beautiful legs, I have ever seen on a woman.

It’s a good think I don’t have her as a partner being a double agent, I would surely lose my life not being able to concentrate on my missions. What a toy she will make for me. I think I can even fall in love with her.

Now that this crummy show is nearly over, I’m getting impatient. If the old man knew what was on my mind, he would surely leave me behind instead of inviting me to lunch. What a trusting old soul he is. I wonder where we will be going for this lunchtime engagement?

I hate to ask, June, but where do I meet you and the Ambassador for lunch? Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, it will be at our home. Where are you staying Conrad? Some small hotel on the left bank, you wouldn’t know the name. Would you mind coming to lunch at our home? Of course not, I’d be delighted.

The show is finally over and the old man is making his rounds in the dressing rooms to congratulate the models and pinch a few fannies. Age allows you some privileges, but not much fun if you can’t do the complete job. June waited very patiently for him to return. I asked her if she would like a drink, she got up and motioned for me to follow her to the bar. No one seemed to want to go home, the liquor was being poured like water.

We got out drinks and managed to slip away from the crowd into the large outside hallway to talk. This was one time I was lost for words, I could only look at her. Gosh, she’s so beautiful, it’s so difficult to take my eyes off her. Why do you keep staring at me, Conrad? I am? Of course you are. I’m sorry. Is there something on your mind? If I told you, perhaps you would get angry. Why don’t you try me, now start talking.

Well, June I have this very strong urge to kiss you. Is that all that’s on your mind? Not quite, June, but I would rather tell you later, much later. In the meantime, you can kiss me if you still want to". I sat my drink on a nearby table and took her in my arms, but not to forceful, then started to kiss her. June’s tongue slithered passed my opened lips headed for the back of my throat. She was really starved for love.

She pulled away from me quickly as one of the servants entered the hallway. I hope he didn’t see me. I don’t think he did, this column is blocking their view. Just as my last word came out, June kissed me very hard pressing close to me. I nearly came in my pants. She’s unbelievable.

We will be good friends. I can feel it. We better get back before John begins to panic. I slid my hand away from her waist and down along her firm derriere, and followed her back into the main ballroom. The Ambassador was nowhere in sight. Tell me June, doesn’t it bother you to follow him around with his little games? Of course not, it makes him happy, and he always comes back to compare.

I’m used to it, believe me. Somehow I can’t picture you with the old man. First of all Conrad, I’m his only heir to a 32 million dollar fund in my name, plus over 40 million dollars in property and an unbelievable amount of stocks, close to one hundred and twenty million dollars total, need I say more? Not another word June, I get the picture. I also have my freedom to come and go as I please as long as I don’t do anything to embarrass his position as Ambassador to France.

The Ambassador had his fill of pinching fannies, now he’s ready to go home. Tell me, June how do I find your home, you didn’t tell me where you live. I’m sorry Conrad, John meant for you to come with us after we leave here. "That will be very nice, I really wasn’t prepared to dine with anyone today, but I’m looking forward to lunch with you.

A lot of the guests attending the fashion show began to leave the large ballroom headed for their cars.

The Ambassador seemed to be well liked by all the women here. His age gave him a lot of privileges around young woman. After saying his goodbyes to several women (all young), he came over to us and we started for the front door. The rain was still coming down heavy, but the chauffeur came up to escort us under a very large umbrella to the Rolls limousine. (Money does wonders.)

The ride to the Ambassador’s estate took about half an hour. The road passed the entrance was over half a mile to the chateau. It looked more like a castle. The rain had stopped just as we reached the front door, but the clouds were still thick and gray. We got out of the Rolls and went into the chateau. A man could get lost in here for a month without being found. The butler took our coats and June asked me to follow her into the library as the Ambassador started upstairs to change. He didn’t seem to be jealous at all. I followed her without taking my eyes away from her beauty. June walked over to the large bar and poured two brandies. I sat next to her on a very comfortable couch in front of a large fireplace. The fire took the chill out of the room and lent a romantic atmosphere to our being together.

I leaned over and kissed her cheek. Then she turned and pressed her lips hard against mine. There was fire burning inside her, what an unbelievable day so far.

The Ambassador came down ready to have lunch. We were summoned by the butler. Lunch was ready to be served. We went into the dining room and found John already seated at the very end of the large dining table. June and I sat opposite each other next to John, then we were served lunch.

You say you are on leave for three weeks? Yes, Mr. Ambassador. You can call me John son. Let us keep it informal. Where are you staying? At a small hotel on the left bank. We can’t have that Conrad, how would you like to spend some time here with us, we have plenty of rooms that are empty. That’s very nice of you sir, but all my things are at the hotel. I’ll send the chauffeur for your things. Tell me sir, are you in the habit of inviting strangers into your home all the time? Not quite son, I’ve never had a C.I.A. agent stay at my home, I thought it would be interesting for my wife and I.

First of all sir, I’m not a C.I.A. agent. You assumed I was, I’m not at liberty to divulge the nature of my work, top priority makes it that way. I understand, son.

After lunch we all went into the library for coffee and small talk. The old gent will not give up trying to learn my profession. If it were not for June, I wouldn’t be wasting my time here. The old man offered me a cigar but I refused it, they make me sick. Everyone pictures secret agents as smokers, it stinks like hell and sometimes, it’s a dead give away in my type of work. The cigar in the Ambassador’s mouth looks like a turd and sure as hell smells like one.

Now, I can understand why June wanted me to come to lunch and stay over for a while, the old man was failling into a deep sleep. June motioned for me to follow her into the gardens.

This was one time I’d follow orders from a woman, especially a beauty like June. Her hips rotated so beautifully that I nearly fell over the coffee table as I started to follow her. My eyes were glued to her fanny. Like my agent friend in Israel would say, that’s some tuckas.

The garden was like a part in itself. I never saw so many different plants and trees. There was a maze of high hedges that was like a puzzle to find your way about. The rain had stopped but the grounds were wet and soft. I was tempted to lay her down on the wet ground and make love to her. My member was straining to break the zipper of my trousers to attack. It’s a good thing the grass was soaking wet from all the rain. I better not move too quickly with June, she’s liable to get turned off and kick my ass out of this fancy shack.

June came very close to me putting her arms around my waist begging to be kissed. You know I’m a big boy, I like kissing games, but all that follows is important. Don’t rush me, Conrad, everything comes in time, a shorter time than you think. I must get to know you better.

That’s alright with me June, my days of playing spin the bottle and going home to masturbate are over. You won’t have to do that with me, Conrad. We held each other so close that I could have gone into her just the way we were standing.

You’re setting me on fire June. Then you better follow me quickly. The elevator we got into was creeping up very slowly. I could have walked up faster, a few minutes longer won’t hurt. I wonder what she has in mind for me, or am I assuming too much? We finally got off the slow moving elevator and followed June to her room. It was more like a hotel lobby than a bedroom. She left me and went into another adjoining room. Make yourself comfortable, Conrad, I’ll be back in a moment. I walked over to her oversized bed, took my shoes off and lay down. I’ve never been in such a large bed before, the comfort was unbelievable. What the hell is she doing in that room?

She’s finally coming out now, and wearing a black silk gown that I could see through at every important part. Her smile nearly drove me to attack her as she started toward me on the bed. June came up to me and laid down along side me pressing her lips to mine.

I began to stroke her breasts that were now fully exposed. She meticulously began to undress me. Of course, I helped speed things by slipping out of my trousers. I removed her silk gown, and now we were both completely nude.

June laid on top of me, her beautiful body gyrating slowly pressing against my rigid member as her momentum increased. I could hold back no longer as my firely throbbing shaft began its entry into her beautiful love canal. She started to dig her teeth into my shoulder as I pressed all the way into her luscious vault. Her movements and mine were violent, ready to bring forth the massive flow of life bearing serum. We both exploded at the same time, it felt as though the flow would never stop coming out of my still pulsating member. We finally had to stop, our bodies were exhausted, but feeling wonderful.

Our first time at making love was unbelievable. June can really drain a man of his love serum. We both lie in each others’ arms, my member still inside her throbbing and begging its return to rigid form. This time I turned her over and mounted this beauty so I could be in full control. I was able to hold back coming into June for a long time. Just as I started to spew forth my load, her legs went over my shoulders letting my shaft into the hilt, pressing as hard as I could against her, letting the hot liquid sink deeply into her love canal. We couldn’t move for five minutes, then we both got up and went into the bathroom to shower.

If this is what happens after lunch, how will it be after dinner? This is going to be some rest for me. Two weeks with June, and I’ll need a month at a health farm. The shower with June was another symphony to play. We better get downstairs before my pecker wears out.

After we showered and dressed, we returned to the library only to find the old man still asleep with the unlit cigar in his mouth. It looked more like a wet turd than a cigar. He apologized for falling asleep. That’s quite alright sir, it was a very restful afternoon here. I hope you are enjoying your rest son. Very much so sir. (If he only knew he’d kick my ass out.) I could use a little rest now after that session upstairs with June. She sure is a lot of woman even for me, but I can take it.

June walked over to a large grand piano, sat down and started to play. She was quite good. I closed my eyes as I listened to her play. I’ve had a lot of women in my travels all over the world, but this time, I think June is the best of all. She can really turn me on very quickly.

The butler broke my concentration with a champagne cocktail. I’m not used to this kind of service, even in a restaurant. There’s nothing like being a millionaire. I took the drink and held it in my hand for a few minutes before tasting it. I’m not one for mixed fancy drinks, scotch is my favorite or good brandy. Mixed drinks can get you blind drunk too fast. In my business a clear head is very important if you want to stay alive.

Tell me son, do you play chess? No sir, I never had the time to learn. June is an excellent chess player. That’s quite alright sir, I just want to sit and listen to June play the piano. She’s very talented isn’t she son? I could listen to her all day after what I’ve been through with the Russians for the last three weeks. Was it very bad son? Not good sir, but I was able to get away from them, I’m lucky to survive those agonizing weeks under those bastards. I hope I’m not prying by asking you what section of the C.I.A. you are in. First of all, sir, I am not with the C.I.A., I work alone, please don’t ask me anymore questions about my work. It distresses me having to answer questions after three weeks under the Russian secret police. Alright son, no more questions, you’re here to get some rest and enjoy yourself.

Thanks very much sir, that’s the way I would like it. If you would like me to put in a good word for you to the head of the C.I.A., don’t hesitate to ask. I’ve got some good friends very high up in government. Thanks very much sir, but I like to work alone, this way only one man makes the decisions, myself, that’s how I stay alive. In my kind of work you can’t afford to make any mistakes and continue working. Thanks any way sir, I appreciate your offer to help me.

This has been the most enjoyable day I’ve had in months. A beautiful woman to love, good food, and a castle, to cover my head. All this because of a rainy day. Rainy days usually end up a real bust, and being alone in some crummy hotel room drinking by myself.

Luxury like this comes by once in a lifetime, I’ll make sure to enjoy every moment here, especially with June to make love to. It’s been a long time of hard work and grabbing a piece of ass on the run, but this is something special to savor and truly enjoy. I wouldn’t mind spending a few months with her but too much work to be done.

June stopped playing the piano and came over, sitting down next to me on the couch. You look very tired John, did you take your pills? No, I forgot. I’ll ring for Henry, he’ll bring your medication. On the side of the fireplace hung a long thin tapestry pull used to summon the butler. He was in the room very quickly. Yes, madam, did you ring? Would you bring the Ambassador’s medication? Yes madam. I am not used to this formal bullshit, where I came from, we get up and go for the pills ourselves. Wealth makes people lazy and dependent on others to wipe their cans. I couldn’t take a steady diet of this kind of life.

The butler returned with the old man’s pills and waited until the Ambassador took his medication, then left. How does a man become a butler? I would go out of my mind if I had to sit and wait for the bell to ring, and walk around in a tuxedo all day.

The old man excused himself and went out of the room. He probably has to go to the John. June turned to me putting her arm around my shoulder and kissed me. She sure can turn a fire on in a man, June is a very beautiful woman. I could fall in love with her very easily, she does something to me. I shouldn’t think about such things being in my kind of business. My head must be free of emotional ties.

Do you like me Conrad? Why do you ask, is there something wrong? Not quite, I find myself failling in love with you Conrad. Please don’t ever think about loving me June. I am dangerous occupation, I can’t afford to get attached to a woman now, especially a beautiful woman. We kissed like tomorrow was the end of the world. Something has been puzzling me. What is Conrad? Well your accent, it has a slight southern drawl. I’m from Dallas, where are you from Conrad? New York City, Manhattan to be exact. It’s a nice place to come from but not to live there all your life. I have to move around or I’m not happy. Were you ever married? No, not even engaged or gone steady with any girls. I guess I never had found the right girl for me until now. What do you mean ‘until now’?

I’ve had a lot of women, but none made me feel like you do. Even now, I’m on the edge of my seat with you being so close to me. "maybe that’s how love starts, I don’t know, I’ve never fallen in love before, it’s much too soon to tell.

This is the most pleasant time being with June and not having to look over my shoulder constantly. If she was single, I would probably pursue her, no sense even thinking about it, I’ll just enjoy myself and move on like I’ve been doing for years. She would be out of her mind to queer a deal like she has with the Ambassador. The old man isn’t going to live forever, he surely won’t outlast her and she will end up with a nice bundle of cash. I wouldn’t blame her one bit.

You seem to be in deep thought Conrad, is there anything troubling you? Not at all June, just doing a little soul searching. By the way, would you be able to lend me one of your cars tomorrow morning, I have to see one of my contacts in Paris at 10:30 A.M. It’s very urgent, then I’ll be back here and spend the rest of the day with you. How about me driving you to Paris, then we can be together without the servants always looking to find fault with me, they are very loyal to John.

CHAPTER 2

PARIS ENCOUNTER

A FTER A FINE dinner and a good night’s sleep I was ready to go to Paris with my beautiful chauffer, June, the dark haired beauty. Before we leave for Paris a good breakfast will help. I’m hungry this morning, but I’ll wait until everyone is at the table. Here comes June now, looking more beautiful than yesterday. I can’t let myself fall in love with her, it spells danger for me.

Good morning Conrad, did you have a good rest last night? I certainly did, the bed was very comfortable and the quiet did the trick. I needed the rest badly, the Russians had me awake for days, I thought I would go out of my mind, the noise of loud music was terrible not allowing me to think or sleep. I didn’t think I would survive.

Enough of the Russians, I’m going to make you forget all that happened to you Conrad. Leave it to me, it will be my job to make you happy. Why are you doing this June, what do you have in mind? The truth is I’m falling in love with you. I don’t know what to say June, except I love you too. I’ve never said this to anyone in my life, not even my parents. It’s something I never felt in me until now, but you are married, what can we have? Let’s not discuss this part until later, there are ways to be together without having to be married until the time is ready for us. Are you sure June, I’m a little beside myself with this feeling of loving someone. Don’t worry Conrad, everything will be alright now. Let’s have breakfast and be on our way. John has to leave for Tuolon this morning, he will be there for two or three days. Aren’t you happy that we will be alone for a while? Of course June, but I don’t want to queer anything with you and your husband. You have nothing to worry about, he could never do without me. We had our breakfast and left for the garages to get one of the cars.

I thought we would be taking the Rolls limo, but June had her favorite little car, a beautiful red Fararri, it must have cost a fortune. The only thing I didn’t like in the car was the right hand drive. Now, I know why you didn’t want to take the Rolls limo, we would have to be driven by the chauffeur. This way we will have our privacy.

I’m so glad to have June to myself for two days or maybe even three. I tried so hard not to fall in love with her, but it happened, even waiting for her to come down to breakfast this morning gave me such anxiety, the inner excitment has made me want to love her more. If I’m not careful she will indirectly cause my death. Somehow this feeling has been with me from the first time I kissed her. I always thought myself to be very hard and unemotional, was I fooled. It took the right woman to set me on fire. Too bad she’s married to the old man, but this arrangement may be a lot better for me and my work.

June got behind the wheel, she fit the car very well, all the wealth she had now seemed to be as born to her. I can tell she likes to drive fast cars, this one has a lot of power a little too much for June. The ride into Paris didn’t take too long with June behind the wheel. She nearly ran off the road a couple of times, but June can really handle this powerhouse of a car.

Just tell me where you want to go Conrad, I know Paris like the back of my hand. We drove along the left bank then turning into a small park near the water. Now you wait in the car don’t leave for one second. This was my first mistake, my contact was sitting on one of the park benches in an old man’s disguise. Giorgio Aguira is a double agent like myself, except I could never give my services to the Russians, sons of bitches like he did.

I sat down next to Giorgio who was faking a deep sleep. Beside him was a small package with his hand resting on it. I held my coat draped over my arm being able to conceal my lifting it up. He mumbled that all my instructions were inside, and to be very careful. Giorgio then got up and started to walk away from me. Oh my G-d, here comes June, I told her to wait in the car. Those two men who were watching Giorgio are going after him. I hope he makes it to his car. She would have to be in their line of fire. It looks like Giorgio is going to get it this time, they started to shoot at him, as June crossed in front of them. Hit the ground June, hit the ground, too late, she’s hit. I’ll get that bastard, they started to run for their car as I fire, hitting the one that shot June. I got him in the back of his head, his brains spilled out on the sidewalk. I ran to June, who was lying partly on the grass, her side was covered with blood.

The bullet cut the surface of her left hip, not entering her body. She was in pain, but more frightened than hurt. I lifted her and brought her to the car and drove to a doctor friend of mine on the left bank. I carried her into the doctor, Armond’s house, through the back door and put her on the table in his office.

Why did you leave the car, you were told not to follow. I’m sorry Conrad, please forgive me.

Now do you see why I must work alone, you could have been killed and I would be responsible. Do you think you can listen to me now? Yes. Maybe you had better not go with me when I’m at work.

Believe me, I’ll listen to you, please don’t be angry. I’m not angry, you came close to getting killed. It’s a good think they didn’t get Giorgio, he’s my best contact in Paris. The doctor cleaned her wound, it didn’t require any stitches. You are a lucky young lady keep the dressing on for two days before changing it, and have this prescription filled. Apply the medication after each dressing change. I’m going to give you an injection.

After paying Dr. Armond, we left his office and got into June’s car. This time it was me who did the driving. Are you still in pain? Yes, sort of a burning on my hip. Would you like me to take you home? No, it won’t be necessary. I feel terrible that this happened, is there anything you would like to do or go somewhere? I would like to stop for a drink.

We drove out of Paris into the suburbs and stopped at a small bistro. The place was empty except for one old man asleep in a chair. I ordered two brandies and coffee as we nestled close together in a booth. I looked at June and then placed a kiss on her check and on her lips. Her hand rested on my lap, warming my whole body.

What’s happening to me, my heart is beating like a drum. I want to tell her how much I love her, but it would be so wrong at this time. Is there something on your mind Conrad, you seem to be in deep thought again. You’re right, but it’s nothing important. I can’t tell her yet, I must be certain that I’m really in love with her.

My hand was locked into hers like a young school boy on his first date, me Conrad Lamston, double agent and professional killer, feeling only love in me, how could this happen. It’s not possible. We sat and talked over the brandy and coffee, then decided to leave.

The sun came out warming up the little breeze as we stepped outside and into the car. We headed back to the chateau for lunch and a little relaxation. There must be something very important in the package I got from Giorgio, for those bastards to try and kill him. It’s a good thing it was very early, no one was in the park but Giorgio and those two men or my ass would be in a sling with the police. If June were not with me, I would have gotton both of them. I would have also emptied their pockets and find out who they were, but with June in so much danger I had to think of her first. I’ll never do that again.

When we get to the chateau, drive around to the back, past the garages to the swimming pool so I can get out of this bloody dress. There would be hell to pay if the servants saw me with the blood all over my dress. There’s a small house by the pool with clothes in it. I’ll change in there, then we can go into the main house for lunch.

The chateau was in sight, only a few minutes and we will be at the pool house. I’ll park in back of the house June, can you get in through the back door? Yes, I have the key. I followed her close behind, making sure no one heard or saw us go in.

The pool house is big enough for a family of ten to live in. She had her own bedroom upstairs with closets loaded with clothing and shoes. I’ll wait in the other room while you change. That’s not necessary Conrad, I want you to sit in this chair while I change into another dress. How are you going to explain your wound to John? He will never see it, don’t worry. June leaned over and kissed me pressing her lips very hard against mine.

If this keeps up, I’ll have to tell her how I feel. We both walked over to the bed and lay down together. She wanted me to make love to her again, but the pain from her wounded hip didn’t allow it. We lay close to each other in an embrace that no man or beast could ever separate.

What do you feel now Conrad? "Please don’t ask me, I’ll give you my answer soon enough. I began to kiss every part of her supple body, being unable to contain myself, my whole body was on fire, wanting to make love to this gorgeous woman.

She twisted and turned as I continued to kiss her long shapely legs. All of a sudden June pressed her body close to mine wanting me to put my steel hard member into her love vault. I removed my clothing quickly as she straddled my body allowing me to sink my hardened member into the depths of her love canal. At this point I could hold back no longer, my coming was as Mt. Vesuvius spilling over.

I love you June, I can’t hold back any longer. I’ve never been able to love anyone but you. She embraced me and kissed me with violent passion. I’ve loved you from the first moment we met, Conrad, now I’m sure. How are we to keep our love under cover now that we both feel the same? We must stay together at all cost, my love for you is not a fantasy. Let’s not think about it or we will come to a bad end. We will have to go on as close friends. Anything you say, this is one time I’m going to listen and not give orders Conrad.

Let’s get dressed and go in to the main house for lunch. I’m going up to my room and check the contents of this package, it’s burning a hole in my hands. You can open it right here, I’ll leave the room. O.K., this is very important, one man was already killed today because of these papers. June left the room as I started to open the package.

Thumbing through the documents gave me quite a shock. A member of British Parliament has been selling top secrets to the Russians. They want me to eliminate this bastard quietly so as not to embarras the government. They want me to make it look like an accident, now I can understand why those two men wanted to get Giorgio. They were probably Russian agents. If only I could be sure. I’ll put all these papers away and go back to June. I’m through in here, you can come back in now. Was it very important? Very, but not for your eyes to see.

We left the pool house and drove up to the front door of the chateau as if nothing happened. I’m beginning to get very hungry June, let’s go in for some lunch. These ordeals give me a tremendous appetite.

All the servants were walking about doing their work, cleaning and preparing food and so on. Would you care for something to drink, before we eat. not a drop for me, just food. I’m hungry after this rough morning. Do you still feel pain June? Not as much as in the doctor’s office. By the way, we forgot to fill the prescription while in Paris. That’s alright, there’s a small pharmacy above five kilometers south of here. We can go there after lunch.

The food is unbelievably good. I’ve never tasted beef this way, it’s delicious. I’m glad you are enjoying your stay here Conrad. Only because of you, I could never have stayed here without you June".

This time we better have the chauffeur drive us into the village to fill the prescription. We don’t have to worry about Albert, he doesn’t like the Ambassador. John wanted him to fire him, but he is one of the best auto mechanics in this area, and he knows it. I get along with him very well, nothing personal, you know how men can be toward women. You don’t have to give me any explanations, June. Call the chauffeur and have him meet us out front, then we can get your medication. I am curious to see what kind of town you have nearby. It’s a village not a town, but very quaint and old. The people are very friendly, and there’s a nice little inn that I stop at some times. We can have a drink there after I get the prescription filled. I’d like that very much, June.

Albert, the chauffeur, and the Rolls limo were waiting at the front door when we walked out of the house. Albert held the door opened for us. I thanked him, which is not done, but who cares. He liked the courtesy and said that it’s alright sir, it is my job. The name is Conrad, Albert, none of that sir shit. He laughed and nodded his head then got in and started to drive off.

Your too much Conrad, if John were in the car, he would be annoyed at your actions. I don’t go for that crap, you must understand me, I’m not used to all this personal attention.

The window that separates the driver was rolled up so our conversation was not shared with the chauffeur. I put my arm around June and kissed her. Of course Albert saw us, but who gives a shit, I’m tired of sneaking about with someone I love. June didn’t care either, I can tell by her not pushing me away.

The five kilometers to the little village took less time than I expected. Everyone walking about seemed to recognize the Rolls because they all nodded as we passed. Albert stopped the car in front of the pharmacy. June pressed the button, dropping the window to give Albert the prescription. Would you please take this in and have it filled? We will wait in the car. Yes, madam. Albert seems very tentative when you speak to him, is he always like that? Yes, but he dislikes John very much. Albert’s wife is one of our cooks. She’s a very beautiful woman. They don’t seem to get along, he wanted children, but she can’t have any. I told him to adopt a baby but he wants his own.

Conrad, what are you doing with that gun? A car has been following us since we left Paris and now I see the man that got away in the park. Good thing he’s alone. I’m going out of the car and walk up the street, whatever you do, don’t follow, stay in the car or we are through with each other. I won’t budge from this seat, not after what happened to me.

What is that you put on your gun? It’s a silencer, no sense waking up the whole village. Be careful Conrad, I don’t want anything to happen to you. I’ll be o.k. just don’t follow me.

I opened the car door and got out walking very slowly up the street looking into the shop windows. As my walk quickened, the man got out of his car to follow me. As soon as I turned into an alley way, my pace turned to a run to get to the rear side of the small building. An old piece of a broken store window was propped up against a wooden crate acting as a mirror for me to see who was coming up the alley without exposing myself. I had an excellent view of anyone approaching.

Sure enough the driver of the car that was following us started to the rear toward me, his gun was ready silencer and all. He meant to kill me and get the papers. Another 25 feet and we will be face to face. I can’t allow that, readying my gun hand, I came into his view putting a bullet through his heart. He fell to the ground like a brick off the roof. I ran up to him and emptied his pockets to see which side he’s on, I’m sure he’s a Russian agent. Not much money in his pocket, his I.D. says he’s Andreaus Mickloff, a K.G.B. agent. I wonder if he called his superiors before following me, the way they operate, he probably did. I better get out of here before someone spots me. It’s a good thing there are no windows in this alley
