Tess repositioned herself onto her knees and my dick jerked, ready to fuck her, but I wanted to savor every second.

For the next two hours, we used each other like ice cream sundaes (sans ice cream) before cleaning up in the shower.

To say the sights of D.C. were unparalleled brilliance was an understatement.

Three years later…

IKNEW TESS had the ability to be deceptive. We’d been trained by the same people, and both had to lie to save our lives. It wasn’t her deception that stung, it was the level. I’d seen her at work as an officer, but never thought I’d live to see the day she’d turn double officer.

Traitor.

I’d given her the courtesy of asking her directly and she lied to my face.

That’s when I knew confrontation alone wasn’t enough. I’d need to bring receipts

“So, the mission’s a go then?” I asked.

“Ready from my end,” she retorted.

“No more intel to add?” I pressed.

She shook her head. “No. Number five, locked, loaded and ready to go.”

“Not six?”

“No,” she said. “As we discussed earlier, definitely five.”

Indeed, you swore an oath before almighty god.” I raised an eyebrow. “Now, I will ask you one more time, and I will remind you, your very soul is in peril. Did youdoit?”

“Okay! Fine! I watched it without you, okay? Is that what you want to hear? I’m weak! I watched episode five without you while you were at the gym yesterday.”

“Charlatan!”

“How did you find out?”

“You didn’t know thatMüvieNüdlekeeps a log of watched episodes,” I said.

“What do you take me for? An amateur? I marked it as unwatched.”

“But you didn’t look in the server cache, did you?” I whispered menacingly.

“Gosh darn it,” she hissed.

“Always clear your cookies,” I admonished. “This high court now finds you guilty of the crime of unlawful watchery. For you doth willingly—”

She frowned. “Why are we in ye old timey court?”

“Hold ye lying tongue! The accused shall be silent!”

“Oh my god.”

“And for the crime of unlawful watchery of season three, episode five of Bounty Hunter Cook-Off, without thy betrothed, I hereby sentence you to the punishment of ticklery.”
