he had repaid the favor in the most tantalizing ways. The good agent
was one of the better sex partners he’d had in the past couple of years. She
had a fetish that included toys and anal sex and she also liked to play with
other fascinating ladies, which made it all the more interesting.
    “I suppose I could help you out. Never know when I might
need a return favor. What’s the case?”
    “Rory Morgan, Cleveland, Ohio.”
    “Oh really, Congressman? I wonder what could have you so
interested in that little tidbit.” She gave a knowing snort.
    “I have my sights set on getting her on our committee to
secure additional funding for Homeland Security, Agent. I know that cause is
close to your heart.”
    “Sure, Congressman, I understand. However, I might have a
hard time with this one. Last I heard, that file was in lockdown with the other
higher-profile cases in the director’s office. I’m not sure I could secure
access. Even if I did, I would really be putting my own position at risk. I’m
not sure this is worth my job.”
    “What if I made sure to make it worth your risk, Jennifer?”
He heard her breath hitch at the other end of the phone.
    “What would that entail, Jackson?”
    “I know what you like. I would be very happy to accommodate
your tastes, should you take this risk for me.” His voice was darker, richer.
“I remember what you feel like. Do you remember how it felt when I was behind
you, giving it to you hard and fast, making you come so hard for me?”
    “Oh I remember very well. Maybe we could have a party. I
always liked our little parties.”
    “I’m sure that can be arranged, but I need your help. You
help me, and we’ll spend an entire night, just the two of us, and a guest or
two of our choosing.” He knew he had her.
    “Quite tempting. Well then, I’ll see what I can do.” She was
breathless. “I’ll let you know when I have something for you. If you’ll excuse
me, I have a pressing need to take care of before I start my day.”
    Jackson hung up the phone and thought about the situation.
He needed that file and he hoped Agent Durand could make it happen. He would
reward her by tying her up and fucking her ass, among other things. The thought
used to make him hard. Now the only thing making him hard was the congresswoman
across the hall. Thinking about tying her up and fucking her got him hotter
than hell.
     
    Rory was on the Hill by nine Sunday morning. She was anxious
to look over the details and do some strategizing on the needed amendment to
the appropriations bill for the EPA.
    As she dropped her coat, satchel and purse onto the chair
just inside her office door, she turned on the overhead light and moved to the
desk. Picking up the files she and Nicole had made on the members of each
committee, she flipped through until she found Appropriations. Taking her seat,
she went through each page, spreading the contents around her desk. One by one,
she reread the bios of the members. She paid special attention to their voting
history and titles of legislation they had supported.
    She picked up her dry erase marker and wrote eleven names on
her board. She needed eleven more votes for the amendment to pass. These were
probably her best bet.
    She slowly read them aloud to herself. “Brown, Donnelly,
Marshall, Richards, Koepler, Duncan, Moore, Goodhouse, McNeil, Arness and
Dorn.” As she pondered, she wrote them again, this time in alphabetical order.
What would work best with each one to ensure the vote? According to her careful
review, these names represented those members who were either politically
like-minded to herself, had no opinion on the shipyard deal whatsoever, or in
the case of Brown and Donnelly, had once showed animosity toward her
competitor, Powell. She had to exploit what she could.
    There was only one person on the list who was not a member
of her party, and that was Congressman Dorn. But he was staying on her list.
She could handle him. She’d get his vote for
