Bellamy Blake just 24 years of age, had been working for the British government protection agency for 3 weeks now, the work was tough and occasionally dangerous but it paid extremely well and he needed the money to support his younger sister octavia.
Today was the day he would see the inside of Mr. Griffins infamous mansion, one of the most guarded and expensive building in Europe.

The grounds were vast and well kept, grass short and green, trees trimmed and statues gleaming. Not like anything Bellamy had seen before.

He jogged up the marble staircase and opened the massive oak doors enough for him to slip through before closing them with a thud before scanning his newly printed security chip through the sensor in the door.

One task was all he was given by his superior Officer Kane, retrieve Mr Griffins leather book from his office with the list of all his business contacts and bring it to the secure agreed location.

Bellamy could tell this was a test and was determined to prove himself worthy of kane's trust. He needed this job.

In his periphery his eye caught on a flash of blonde hair disappearing round the corner, having no clue where Mr. Griffins office was and deciding that was probably a member of staff like a cook or cleaner working at the mansion he decided to follow the girl and ask her for directions around this massive building.

Entering the room he saw her go into just seconds prior he spotted a young girl of around 20 years, with wavy blonde hair, sparkling sapphire eyes and glowing ivory skin. She was beautiful.

But through this he noticed something else, she was wearing not staff uniform but tight black jeans, a dark top and a leather jacket with dark shades handing from a hook on the lapel. Her clothes hugged her curves and she looked incredibly sexy but this lead Bellamy to decide she was not a member of staff...so who was she and why was she in the Mr Griffins Mansion?!

As if sensing his presence she looked up and he eyes grew wide, eyebrows raising and jaw dropping in surprise, stumbling back and looking incredibly guilty...this is it he thought, she has to be the test. She is a spy!

Hands snapping to the gun in his holster he raises it with perfect form, pointing it at the girls head. She stumbled back mouth agape in wonder or shock he didn't know, dropping the pen she was holding, eyes wide and flickering between his face and the gun.

She didn't look like she was supposed to be here. Who is this woman? he thought.

Once again her dad was away on business and most of the staff were cleaning the upper levels of the house. throwing on a pair of dark jeans, a black vest and her new leather jacket she
decided to get some study done.

She went down stairs and into the lounge ignoring the sound of the front door opening and shutting. Probably one of daddy's minions running an errand she thought.

Entering the study she set down her books and rooted around in the drawer to her right for a pen, a shadow came over the desk blocking out the light from the hallway. Looking up to see who was here to bother her she was met with two chocolate brown eyes and a mop of dark curls. At the surprise of seeing such a gorgeous man in her study she stumbled back, eyes widening and jaw dropping.

His big tanned hands quickly went to his hip, retrieving something and pointing it at her, it was only then that she realised it was a gun...
