"It was absolutely nothing. I had no ties. No bittersweet memories. I was leaving nothing behind. Never experienced companionship, never been in love. And in that moment, all I felt was loneliness and regret."
But there's always a first time..

All night Harry was unable to take his hands off me, either on my waist or rubbing my back, the fabric of the dress was so soft and thin that I felt the warmth of his hands every time he touched me. Seeing Harry spending the night talking to everyone, keeping his attention on me, enjoying the party and being who he really was warmed my heart in every possible way, every time his smile crossed mine. Right after the wedding, Harry and I traveled straight to France, where he had rented a small chateaux for an entire week, in one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen, we enjoyed every second of those normal days, without thinking about anything else.

I made through the last step of the mission, we were all in Rome this time, I arrived 1 month ago since I was here for work and I haven't seen Harry since, the calls in the middle of the night were the only thing we had for this period of time. As usual, my role tonight would be to look for informants, seduce, dope them, and find clues in the meantime. Harry and Egssy would be there with the same task, just thinking about seeing Harry again made it warm up my core, and my costume for the party wouldn't help.
I looked at myself in front of the mirror in the red dress that contained an open back and was long with a slit at the side, outlining my body in the best parts and leaving very little to the imagination. I tied my hair in a messy chic bun and put on my nude heels carrying a handbag with me where I kept a gun and my glasses, I looked at my dark makeup in the mirror and touched up my red lipstick, part of me really wanted tease Harry tonight and I was confident enough to try my hardest.
I took a taxi to the event and could see the eyes of everyone who passed by, when I arrived I was immediately greeted by an employee who helped me out of the car "Thank you." I smiled kindly and walked to the hotel entrance, where I headed immediately for the duplex penthouse. I took a deep breath before the elevator doors opened and as soon as I took the first step I felt all the masculine looks on me, completely ignoring each one of them I kept my walk upright and as sensual as I could ''Martini, please.'' I smiled at the bartender who couldn't formulate a word, I didn't know I could do it all.
''You're trying to kill me.'' I heard a voice behind me and I felt a chill go up my spine, I looked back and saw Harry wearing an elegant suit, my God how I missed that vision ''Good night.'' I looked into his eyes and picked up my martini glass ''Don't make me kill someone today.'' Harry spoke as I passed him walking among the people while he followed me trying to keep the attention on the guests but failing miserably by the way his gaze followed the movements of my hips making my skin burn.
I spotted Egssy and smiled at him, lifting the glass up to my lips and tasting the alcohol that instantly made me light something between my legs, I managed to get away from Harry and it didn't take 5 minutes for someone to come towards me to chat. I couldn't deny that some Italians there were really beautiful, but I had another man to undo in my mind ''Don't get out of my sight.'' I heard Harry's voice through the system and continued the conversation until it was no longer interesting to me, I looked around and I saw Harry talking to a middle aged woman.
I felt a little strange thinking that she was an appropriate age for him, even though I was already used to our generation gap, yet I was afraid of being less mature or interesting than those women. However, I would not fail to take my place, so I walked slowly towards them without looking at Harry and passed between the two looking at him out of the corner of my eye, i watched him lost his voice at the same moment and followed me with his eyes.

''Seeing you two teasing each other like that is the most intriguing thing I've ever seen and at the same time disgusting.'' I heard Egssy who made me smile as I walked over to the bar leaving my glass on the table and looked again at Harry staring at my direction, I knew how much my malicious smile could mess him up, so i gave him a feline smile. I completely ignored his order and went upstairs, entering the master bedroom and found a computer on top of the desk by the window, which happened to have a breathtaking view.
I took my glasses out of the bag and put them on '' Merlin, I need a little help.'' I said looking at the system asking me for a password ''One moment.'' He spoke while I took the pen drive out of my bag ''842aj342kl.'' I typed listening to Merlin and entered the whole system, I knew that entering this room alone was dangerous, but I didn't have the patience to flirt with anyone to make it here and go through this whole humiliation. I plugged in the pen drive and went through all the possible data I found "Well done, Lancelot." I heard Merlin and closed the computer taking off my glasses, I put everything in my bag again and heard the door open, I held my gun and saw Harry enter.

I blew out the air of my lungs and put the gun down "You are very stubborn." he said looking at me "Without my disobedience, we would spend hours in this game." I touched his shoulder and approached his face "A little danger is exciting." I said looking into his eyes which stared at my lips by every word I spoke "Well... Thank God this is our job, right?" he said knowing that if he put his hand on me, he wouldn't control himself anymore, and I loved to be aware of it.
