beside Jordan, she could finally be normal. She fell asleep with a smile on her lips.
     

Chapter Five
     
     
    Her cell phone rang incessantly. She ignored it. She knew who it was and what she wanted. She wasn’t in the mood to think about another mission. She wanted to think about Jordan.
    She’d been in her apartment since before 7 am when Jordan left for work. He was shocked that he’d slept until his alarm went off. She couldn’t help but wonder what issues he had with going to sleep. She was sure she would change that in the future. She intended to wear him out physically until he had no choice but to close his eyes and rest.
    She couldn’t help but think about having sex with Jordan. He was attractive, but not cocky or arrogant. She’d noticed that most of the men she’d executed had believed they were so attractive women could not resist them. The fact they said no only meant they were playing hard to get. They had no idea that no really meant no; they each believed they were irresistible.
    She wanted to explore her sexuality with Jordan. She wanted to touch and be touched. She wanted him because she knew he would care about her afterwards. It would be a lifetime commitment with Jordan, she hoped. Her mind went to wedding dresses and honeymoons, and babies. Less than a week before she assumed she would be alone forever. And then she looked into Jordan’s brown eyes. She thought anything was possible now.
    Finally after the phone rang six hundred times she answered it. “You’ve been avoiding me.” The Secretary’s voice was cold, as usual. The woman must have ice in her veins. She believed she had the same fate until she met Jordan. Why couldn’t she quit thinking about Jordan? Even his name made her happy; Jordan.
    “I would like to put in my official resignation,” she stated. “I don’t want to do this any more. I’ll train whomever you want me to train. I’m just too old for this now. I don’t look like a teenager anymore.”
    “I agree.” The Secretary paused to allow Florian to think about it. The Secretary agreed, and was going to let her go. She was thrilled. “But I have one more name on my list for you. It has to be done by you, then I will send you a trainee. That should be in a few weeks. I already have someone in mind.”
    “Okay,” she agreed. Just a few more and she was done. She could be herself, and tell Jordan the truth.
    “I’ve already sent the package. You should get it today.” Since she had no experience with computers the Secretary sent all her files via overnight shipping.
    “I’ll be looking for it,” she said as she ended the call. Now she had all day to think about Jordan. She wanted to plan dinner for him. After the package was delivered she would head to the store immediately. She showered and dressed quickly, allowing her long dark hair to dry naturally.
    She didn’t want to travel. She didn’t want to leave Jordan, she corrected herself. But it wasn’t only that… it was the job. She didn’t want to kill anyone. She knew she’d done it for years, and hadn’t thought twice about it. And she knew what was different now. She’d only known him a few days and she was already falling hard.
    She smiled wistfully to herself as she thought of his eyes. They were dark, yet so full of light. She couldn’t wait to curl up on his couch after dinner, and watch TV with him.
    She jumped when she heard a knock at the door; then she remembered she was expecting a package from her employer. She opened the door, and her face became a mask. She became Florian Desjardins.
    “Can I help you?” She stared into the face of two government agents. She didn’t know which department, but she was sure they were feds.
    “Arianna Becker?” Her lips pursed as the younger of the two men addressed her by her real name. Her face became stone. She didn’t answer and didn’t give any indication of her thoughts or feelings.
    “I’m Special Agent Vince Argento and this is
