This is the first in the series of FORCE trying to save TRIDENT female
Agents from being eliminated by their own side. These short tales are a
continuation of the What is Truth storyline.
‘No, I completely agree. I have the same feelings toward Gin. Bombay
Sapphire, at least in Tonics, but I like the taste of tonic water, if you don’t then
Bombay Sapphire East eases that sharpness a bit, he said while taking a
glance elsewhere then adding. ‘I’m very sorry, but I must be off.
‘I understand completely, duty calls and all that,’ the older man said with a smile.
“More than you know,’ the younger man said as he shook hands goodbye. The elder man noted Ashton ‘walked with a purpose’ and remembered his younger days as the man walked quickly, not so much to stand out, but enough to close the gap with elegance. ‘He’s done this before, nice to watch a professional in action,’ he mused and took another sip of his drink.
She felt a hand close around her wrist, then about her waist, a turn and they were on the dance floor.
‘I live by the axiom, never let a beautiful woman walk away from you without telling her so,’ he said. ‘I think I may have to add, and graceful woman to the previous sentence.
He was referring to her adjustment from walking to dancing, it was perfectly
natural and fluid, just like she intended it to be. He looked at her, she at him, as
they moved, there was no alarm in her eyes, worry on her face, just a slight
bemused smile and total confidence.
‘I can tell I’m not the first to try this,’ he said in a self deprecating voice.
‘No, but usually I play my part in getting it to happen, so this is a rather pleasant surprise,’ she answered in a wonderful english accent.
‘Devon,’ he said. Then added, probably Paignton, if I was to guess,’ smiling at her.
She casually adjusted herself as they danced and closed in a little against him, a message that she was enjoying herself. ‘So far you’re perfect, any other prognostications or do you think you’ve pushed your luck as far as it will go?’ she softly said, looking right at him.
‘You don’t get anywhere in this life of ours unless you push it now and again, do you Miss Wescott or can I call you Virginia, I don’t know you well enough for Ginny yet.’
Again, she stayed calm and danced, her body coming just a bit closer as an arm, wonderful and smooth with just a hint of perfume at the wrists caressed the back of his neck.
He could tell she was thinking, the, it takes one to know one, coming in useful as a thought process at this point, just as he hand planned. They moved about some more, he waited a few moments longer before speaking again.
‘Now before you inject me with that needle ring of yours, or scratch me with your nail polish or give me a quick kiss your exotic lipstick you need to be made aware of something, but it requires a dip. Twenty degrees on your right, ready.’
Before she had a chance to decide what she should do, the dip came and for some reason, she went with it.
‘How do you know they're not here for you Mr. Cross?,’ she answered, keeping their conversation formal.
‘I’ve been here three days, waiting for you to show up and if I can be forward enough to say, it was worth the wait. But, that does not change the fact that they showed up an hour after you did I have no doubt you're a more than capable agent and one would not present an issue for you, but, should that not be enough for you, 30 degrees right this time,’ he said and twirled her about before dipping her again then up into his arms. ‘There are a few others about, back up I assume in case those two fail,’ he said. ‘Which I hope they do.’
‘Thank you for the compliment and the vote of confidence, but that doesn’t alter my initial statement but perhaps it adds a caveat. Maybe this is all part of some elaborate FORCE plot to confuse me. Perhaps, they work for you, but you want me to think that to put me off guard, just so you can have me all to yourself,’ Virginia countered, the sexiness of the possibility evident in her voice.
‘Could be’, he answered. ‘The thought is very appealing. But you decided to wait when you could have acted against me, it seems to me you didn’t expect them here and as you said earlier, you weren’t trying to make it happen tonight.
‘I think the fun for the evening is over Mr.?’
‘Ashton Cross, but I prefer Ash.’
They stopped dancing, she stepped back, but not free of him, her other arm sliding up to rest on his shoulder, partly for defensive purposes but mostly if not all, to feel his form, she was not disappointed.
‘For the record, it was going to be my ring, the rest of me is just me tonight,’ she said with a pleasant smile crossing her face.
‘Then I think you should kiss me,’ he answered and this time her face did register just the slightest bit of surprise. ‘For all the obvious reasons,’ he added. ‘But it will also confuse them, making them unsure about you, my involvement, etc. It will help give you an advantage. Not a long kiss, although, that would be my wish, but a short, soft, promissory one,’ Ashton added.
Virginia didn’t need long to think about it, in fact, she had been thinking about it for just the reasons he had explained, but also because she just wanted to. They both made it look completely natural. She turned and walked away, he watched even from behind she exuded classic beauty, style and grace.

Virginia walked out keeping notice of anyone who followed her, no one did,
but she knew that did not mean she wasn’t being. She turned this over as she
walked to the elevator, the process taking her in an ever decreasing maddening
until she stopped.
'You’ve been a TRIDENT agent long enough to know what to do,' she told
herself. 'Rely on your instincts, they’ve taken you this far.' She arrived at
floor determined what to do, prepare, just in case the impossible happened.
It didn’t take her long to realize the impossible or the possible was happening, either gambit depended upon which side of the good/bad spectrum you occupied. All her clothes, accessories and makeup were missing. The room looked like no one had ever been in it, Virginia was sure the hotel register would say the same thing. No one came after her immediately, she was sure she was alone, but she knew it would only be for a few minutes, she needed to prepare as she walked toward and into the bathroom.
‘Hopefully, it’s still here. Yes, thank goodness,’ she said, pulling out an inch or so from the tissue box on the vanity to find what she wanted. The spy, turned in the shower,closed the door then moved around the suite turning off lights until she ended up pressed against the wall by the suite door listening and waiting,
The door clicked from the keycard and cautiously opened in the darkness. A duo entered the suite, saw the light and heard the running water. They silently made their way over. The spy let them get four steps in the room then didn’t hesitate a second longer. Virginia seized it, turned over pulled it straight forward, her own arm going behind it, then she pushed forward hard on the wrist using her arm as the fulcrum to break the other. A scream followed, but only for the briefest of seconds as the spy’s free arm smashed into the voice box silencing the agonist who was flung into the room. Her partner, with the time, was more prepared. A kick crashed into Virginia’s side, followed by a second to the small of her back, then a leg sweep cut her legs from under her and she fell to the floor. The second assailant stepped inside just as the door was closing the last light from the hallway casting the shadow of a straight leg coming down from high above her attacker's head!
Virginia raised her leg somehow managing to catch the ankle of her attacker between the heel and the pinch of her shoe. She turned forcefully hearing the satisfying snapping of bones. She fell along the floor for the discarded item she’d lost in the scuffle, seized it and was on her feet quickly delivering a punch to the kidney and a second broken ankle as stomped hard at the joint, the crippling blow sending the woman to her knees. The TRIDENT spy left her and found the other efficiently and quickly, disabling her leg at the knee. Virginia turned on a table lamp.
‘I don’t enjoy being disturbed by assassins dressed as maids. I am afraid I shall have to report this, such actions are grounds for termination. I should have thought such an exclusive hotel would have better standards. I see you were here earlier and took liberties with my possessions, all that is except for one,’ Virginia explained as a soft translucent fabric floated gently down and onto the crippled maid.
‘Don’t go anywhere, I'll be back to talk to you after I deal with your partner,’ she smiled and moved over to the other. The other maid was crawling to get to the door, a few kicks to her side stopped any progress. Virginia kicked her over and pulled up a leg.
‘Simple questions and no time to hesitate, I have no intention of letting your acquaintances enter the fray. Who sent you and why, if you don’t tell me, your other friend will and she’ll get to live. No, so be it,’ the spy stated driving her foot into the woman’s pussy causing her torso to rise up in anguish and into the waiting hands of the TRIDENT woman he snapped her neck.
She went to the other. ‘Your co-worker didn’t feel like talking. How about you? You have about a minute left before my constricting negligee makes it impossible to talk. The choice is yours.’
Virginia got no answers, it was time to leave before time and others caught up with her.

‘This wine is very good, I poured you a glass. I’ve been nursing it along wondering when you’d get in. I hope your workout was enjoyable? I had my own last night, brief, but intense. It got so heated I had to leave the hotel in a hurry, didn’t even check out, not the best for my reputation, be things being what they were. I suppose I have you to thank for the warning and this,’ Virginia smiled holding up the pass key to his room. ‘However did you manage to plant that on me without me feeling it, is a wonder Mr. Cross.
‘Oh, I apologise, I had to borrow one of your shirts, my clothes are a little rumpled from last night's activities, luckily, it seems to fit,’ she smiled. ‘You can have it back after you’ve showered. Just dry yourself and come take it off me.’
Virginia looked even more incredible than when they first met, if that was possible. Ashton did not let that slip, it was important to maintain any advantage you could get, so he walked past her without acknowledging, wishing he had eyes in the back of his head ‘Oh, those legs!’ he said to himself.
He took his time, both knowing it was a lie, but playing the game was ingrained in both of them. When he appeared Virgini did the same, although he was everything her hands had confirmed the previous night and what they didn’t more than exceeded expectations. She handed him his wine glass.
‘I don’t know where to go from here. All my bank accounts and credit cards are blocked. I have a few thousand in cash on me, money in safety deposit boxes, but those will be watched so no chance of retrieving that. I suppose I’m in FORCE’s debt and yours for saving my life. They can wait but I owe you a proper thank you, I hope this will do for now,’ she said, sweeping her arms around him for a slow, wonderful kiss.
Virginia started to unbutton the shirt slowly, she did two then stopped a smile crossing her lips.
‘Oh it appears I kissed you with my muscle relaxant lipstick,’ she smiled as she watched his unsteady motion. ‘The heel of my shoe is hollow, I keep a spare cylinder for situations. It’s not that I don’t trust you darling, but I don’t, too many years on the other side of the fence, so I took precautions.’
She watched him wobble some more, a satisfied smile forming on her dangerous lips. Virginia set down her glass sashayed over to him.
‘I think I better take hold of the situation and you darling, before you fall over. Oh, you will fall, but I’ll be right next to you to break your fall,’ she smiled curling one of her long legs around one of his. ‘You’re getting weaker Ashton, try and fight my drug a little longer, let me get myself into place about you so when you fall I’ll shield you, of course I’ll also knot you from the motion. Nothing fatal, I owe you, as I said, just something uncomfortable and persuasive enough to get you to talk. Another kiss while we wait perhaps?’
Virginia didn’t wait for an answer, she softly kissed him several times. ‘Just like our first time,’ she added. ‘My, my, you are resistant, but not impervious, I can feel the effects my lips are having, one more will tip the scales.’
This time Virginia took a little longer with her application. Ashton crumpled in her body just as she finished.
‘There we go,’ the Trident agent gaily announced as the duo fell, Virginia’s body motioned around him, her practised art smooth, feminine and fixed in place as they stilled.
‘You’re all mine Ashton, body and soul, I regret we do not know you well enough to call you Ash, maybe this will correct our formality with each other. But for the moment, back to business, you’re caught in my Seeping Salamander and all it took was a simple distraction, my legs, the shirt, two essential feminine accessories, heels, lipstick and the kiss. You deserve a reward for hanging on so long.’
Virginia kissed him for several minutes, the session allowing the adjustment of her shirted form around his nude body. She settled as the session ended. ‘Now that we’re both properly placed we can discuss certain topics of interest, but all in good time,’ she slyly stated then hugged him.
The TRIDENT woman was silent while her body worked its charms. Virginia’s stimulating touch, delicate, shrouded, tenacious was just what he needed. She’d administered a strong dose of her relaxant, too much, too quickly, she knew would render him incapable of answering her inquiries, so another type of activity stimulant was required, her body. Virginia’s body carefully raised his heart rate with her touch, to spread her drug about. Beneath the shirt, her practised body kneaded his, pushing her relaxant into every part of his form as she held him. Her perfume and body powder, both normal cosmetics, helped as they filled him with fragrances, further exciting him. She shifted her head across the back of his neck and pressed her cheek against his, her scented hair falling over his face like a light cloud.
The spy lightly nuzzled his cheek with her nose testing his response as she touched him, he was close, her body stopped and adjusted them, A heel raised, moved and lowered crossing her ankles, all in a slow fluid motion. Virginia connected their arms and hands together, several nails pinching nerve endings about his wrists. She stretched slightly under her shirt pulling him alive.
‘A miniscule alternation, enough to begin our chat,’ Virginia said softly as she posed her first question.
She didn’t expect an answer, it was merely a testing probe to see where he was. She moved one ankle up just a touch and watched his reaction, this time she smiled and asked again.
Subtle adjustments of her body gave her more answers as time passed.
‘You’re a fascinating conversationalist Ashton, very informative, but I feel you’re holding back a little, perhaps another kiss is in order, it's been a while,’ Virginia mused then delivered a soft kiss. She waited, stretching him in ways that sped her drug into him. ‘My apologies, but if you fight my drug, I have to employ other means. Ashton, you really should let my lipstick do its job, there’s no need to fight it, you can’t and I’m much to experience an agent to overdose you. I know just when and how to employ my weapon, the duration, the pressure, the motion. This can be a pleasurable experience, don’t make me employ some of my more convincing motions.’
She asked more questions and got answers. Sometimes a nuzzle or her warm breath helped along. She was gentle, but insistent and he had no escape, her body had time and he was drugged to near immobility.
‘Our tryst is nearing conclusion Ashton. I have several more questions, these are important. I will be honest with you, my lipstick only has a few kisses left. You’ve fought well, once I have the answers I’m leaving, but I will have the answers. Enjoy what I’m offering, but heed what I’m saying. Relax Ashton and enjoy.’
Virginia covered him, her lips sizzling as she slid them about, then a break, her body caressing him before one final kiss. He answered everything she asked without hesitation. Satisfied, she undid herself from him, Went into the bedroom, changed and emerged.
‘The drug will take many hours to wear off. Thank you for making it simple and quick. Here’s your shirt back as promised,’ she offered laying it beside him with an accompanying goodbye kiss.
