leave, even if she wanted to go.
    I can still visualize the way her body bowed to me while I made love to her that night. It was like the universe aligned for us. No sexual experience had ever felt like that. It wasn’t just physical; it was spiritual, too.
    Months later, I was the happiest I’d ever been. I was even thinking about marriage, not that I’d admit that to anyone. The thought was there, though, in the back of my mind.  
    That last trip to Macon, I finally discovered who Jade really was. Alicia’s revelation sliced me in two, but what hurt more was watching Jade switch character. I suddenly realized that my Jade didn’t exist, and that crippled me. I was in love with a lie. My beautiful, shy Jade wasn’t real.
    “Jade, you can’t leave like this,” I pleaded. I didn’t care that my wrists were burning from being tied too tightly. All I cared about was making her stay with me. I didn’t believe what she was trying to tell me. She loved me; I was sure of it even back then.
    “Thank you for making me feel like a good person for the first time in my life,” she whispered. I was drifting in and out of consciousness, but felt her lips press gently against mine. They were soft and wet with tears. Jade was crying? None of this made any sense. If she’d been hired to steal my power core, why would she cry? I struggled to stay awake— I knew the moment I closed my eyes she’d be gone—but I lost the fight and slipped under.
    I did as Jade had asked and found Macy as soon as I woke up.
    “Oliver, what happened?” She was by my side the moment I stumbled into her laboratory.
    “J…Jade, has…t…taken…the…p…power core,” I gasped, trying to catch my breath. My head was still groggy from the sedative I’d been given.
    “No she hasn’t. Take a deep breath, Oliver. Everything is fine. I switched the core with a decoy last night.” My eyes widened. Jade had been telling the truth! “It’s okay. I know this is a lot to take in.”
    “I…I have to…find…her.”
    “You can’t do that! Just be thankful you still have this core, Oliver. You almost got yourself killed for a piece of skirt! I told you from the beginning that Jade was trouble!” I nodded, too tired to argue with her. “We need to destroy the core once you’ve got your strength back. Here, sit down. I’ll get you a cup of coffee.” Macy was right, but all I could think about was Jade. Why would she risk her life for me like that? Maybe parts of my Jade did exist. I had to work out a way to find her and get some answers, but where did I even start?
    I’m a smart guy, but even I was shocked when I finally found Jade. Trying to find one agent in a mass of different organizations was a tough task, even for someone like me. With a lot of hard work and pure luck, though, I did.  
    Seeing her in that sexy black lace underwear, completely at my mercy once I’d tied her to that bed… Christ, it makes me hard right now just thinking about it.
    Maybe it was wrong of me to have taken advantage of her like that, but Jade didn’t seem to mind when she climaxed around my fingers. Fuck, her taste. It was like the finest liquor to me, and she knew that taste of herself on my lips the moment we kissed.
    I’d never fucked her as hard as that night—perhaps some was punishment—but Jade could take everything I gave her, and dammit if that didn’t make me want her even more.  She was holding back that night, though, and I knew why. She was still protecting me. I would never get her to admit her true feelings this way. It was becoming clear that if I wanted Jade, I’d need to set her free from the organization she was working for first.
    Setting up a trap door on The Seductors computer system was easy enough once I’d discovered their hack into the military system. I’d done a lot of the work myself, but had given General Johnson some information. Jade needed to be safe before I gave too much away.
