When I returned to the embassy, it was past midnight. I should have been tired, but instead I was alert and processing a stream of unsettling thoughts and disconcerting questions.

I inspected the gatehouse log and saw that Connie had returned thirty minutes earlier. The guard stood at attention. I gave him a nod and strode through the snow to the front doors of the main building.

The Ambassador’s office was dark. I didn’t turn on the lights. Instead I went to the big desk and flicked on a small lamp. The glow cast a halo over the tabletop but left the rest of the large office in deep shadow. I dropped down into the expensive leather chair and the weariness came settling upon me at last.

As my mind unwound I felt a stir of emotions that were unfamiliar to me. My thoughts turned inward and reflective.

I’m an insular man; throughout the years since the death of my wife I had stood alone and blazed a trail of business success and political power. I had believed that women held no real attraction to me… but now I realized – with a sudden profound flash of insight – that it wasn’t true.

Of course women attracted me… just not the kind of women that had orbited in the same circles of my influence.

Every woman I encountered was either attached to the diplomatic staff, or she was part of the elite Washington social circle that frequented glittering functions and smiled with gay superficial politeness to the idle chatter that was the stuff of such gatherings. The women I encountered were all seeking social status on the coattails of the most influential men they could latch their claws into… and the shallowness of the women that sought such standing left me cold and disinterested.

And then suddenly there was Connie.

I had seen her too, as just a young ambitious girl who was determined to climb through the ranks of the diplomatic corps. Admittedly, she was committed and dedicated to her work – not trading on her physical attributes.

But that also made her an ineligible subject for any desire I might feel… because I could never compromise the immorality of sleeping with someone on my personal staff. It was a line I refused to cross for I knew the complications of a sexual and emotional relationship in such a situation made the working environment hellishly difficult.

But at least Connie was a real woman; not one of the phony army of wives and mistresses that populated the halls of power.

And within her beauty and the undeniable sexual attraction of her, was both a danger and a threat.

I let my mind linger on my secret stolen memories of Connie; those moments when masculine instinct had overridden my objectivity.

I had seen the swell of her breasts beneath the sheer fabric of her blouse and the tantalizing shadow of the lace that contained them. And I had admired the narrow nip of her waist and then the flare of her hips when she had come into my office one morning wearing a tight tailored suit.
