drawn to him.
    As the top part of my dress falls and bares my chest, I shimmy it down the rest of the way to pool on the floor. He breaks the kiss for a moment to pull back and stare at my pink-tipped breasts. He makes a rough sound of male approval as he grabs my ass from behind and pulls me forcefully up against his hard torso. I can feel his thick erection pulsing in need against his expensive wool slacks.
    Timing , Carew … time it perfectly so he doesn’t call out.
    I allow him to deepen the kiss and fondle my b reasts before I pull back lightly in his embrace. “I want you so much, Vasilije. Please, allow me to undress you.”
    I reach up to seductively und o his midnight blue silk tie. Once it’s unknotted, I start on the buttons of his perfectly pressed white dress shirt. I marvel at his tanned, muscled torso. He’s incredibly fit and must work out on a daily basis. Not bad at all for a guy in his late forties. If it weren’t for my assignment, I may have been taken with him regardless.
    “Oh , you’re so gorgeous,” I coo up at him.
    He groans in both need and approval.
    Here we go ….
    I run my hands lightly back and forth against his hot torso, allowing my ballerina pink nails t o skim across his nipples. Lull him ….
    With my right arm extended up toward his neck, I take an incredibly quick step to my left and pivot around him. In the split second it takes my feet to lock into place, I clamp my arm like an immobile vice around his neck. Self-preservation kicks in as he immediately fights for air by clawing at my arm, trying to wrench free.
    My left arm is banded across his mouth, preventing him from calling out. His struggle becomes furious. I loop my right leg around his ankle, sweeping his legs out from under him and bringing him down to the floor, where the frantic scramble for freedom resumes. He’s desperate to get loose, but I’ve got him pinned and he’s running out of oxygen.
    It should take about forty -five seconds for him to pass out in this sleeper hold. He’s very strong and I need every ounce of strength to keep both arms latched tightly together. As his motions begin to slow I feel a tinge of remorse. He seems like a nice man.
    “Shhh. You’ll be fine ,” I whisper softly to him.
    It’s doubtful he can comprehend what I’m saying. He’s about to black out from lack of oxygen. Once he ’s completely still I count to five before releasing him.
    Fast and furious , Carew!
    I whip the tie from his neck and secure it around his head and mouth, forming a quick, impromptu gag. Next I race into his closet and grab two more of his neckties. I make quick work of both his hands and feet. Even when he wakes, he’s not going anywhere. At least not until I’m long gone.
    I slip my dress back on and slide out of my heels. I can’t escape with them anyhow, they’ll only slow me down. I reach under the inserts of my shoes for the hidden set of thin, latex gloves. I was careful not to touch anything in the house on the way in. Well, with the exception of my mark.
    Our surveillance team learne d from the wiretaps on his mobile that he works from home on the weekends. His office is located just off this bedroom. I race to the interior door in the far corner of the room, close to the balcony. As I enter I see a sleek mahogany desk sitting before a curved wall of glass windows. An oversized Mac and keyboard are the only things on top of it.
    I turn on the screen and immediately type in his lengthy password. My director was able to obtain it within the past twelve hours. He probably had to pay off someone in Juric’s network. Last I heard, the surveillance team was having a hard time cracking his encryption coding. This was part of the reason I had to be sent in. Direct access to his computer makes my job so much easier, especially now that I have the password.
    Luckily , the password is correct and I quickly scan through his files. Soon I locate the design I’m looking for.
    I print out the
