William "Wills" Matheson is a computer whiz, hired by Huntingdon right out of college. He's groomed for a position in the Washington Bureau of Intelligence and Security, a sister organization to Huntingdon. Eventually, he's promoted to senior special agent in the department of Interior Affairs, under the notorious Mark Vincent. Instructed by Trevor Wallace -- The Boss, and yes, that's in caps, of the WBIS -- to follow Vincent after his apartment is destroyed, the younger agent discovers why the man is considered the best when Vincent easily spots him. Rather than knocking him down as expected, Vincent orders Wills to accompany him to his friend's bedside in GW Hospital. There, Wills meets the rent boy known as Sweetcheeks and is instantly struck by the handsome redhead. Wills has never had a male lover before, but he's more than willing to give it a try. Gradually he begins to wonder if there could be a future for them together. Things look positive for them when Sweetcheeks confesses his own love, but Wills is a WBIS agent, and Sweetcheeks is a rent boy. Will their jobs come between them before they can explore their newfound love?

Is It You?

I logged off my computer, put in a quick call to Mr. Vincent, then reached for my suit jacket. After a quick tug to make sure it hung properly and I was presentable, I left my office.


Earlier, Miss Jones had come into my office, ostensibly to bring me my coffee. She extended the cup to me, and when I would have taken it from her, she let her fingers drift over mine. I stared into the cup; she’d got it wrong again.


“I take it black, Miss Jones. If you can’t remember a simple thing like that, then perhaps you should go back to the typing pool.”


“I’m sure you have something that needs doing at your desk?”


She’d gone a little pale, then turned on her heel and stalked out as if she had a corn cob up her butt.


Now she stiffened slightly, her color high, but she didn’t meet my eyes, and she continued keying information into a requisition form. She didn’t know it, but by the end of the morning, Miss Jones would no longer have a position on the seventh floor.
