I truly regretted what I had to do after making Steve, the cute but oh so obvious young thing, my love slave. But it was all for a good cause, including Steve's, if he was able to take hold and prove he had talents for running intelligence assets.
I took him under my wing and into my bed in my London flat, and when I wasn't trying to teach him how to run assets in his new Cyprus assignment, I was fucking him in my bed until his eyes were swimming in cum. At first I was fully as attentive and romantic and sensitive to his needs and wants as he had been dreaming about. But slowly over the weeks of agent training in London, followed by the indirect travel into Greek Cyprus and two weeks acclimation and training there, I let rougher, more demanding, less sensitive sex creep into our relationship. I changed slowly so that Steve couldn't put his finger exactly on the point at which I no longer fulfilled his romantic dream but was overpowering him.
I started by ignoring a signal here and there that he wanted sex, and moved on to forcing sex when he wasn't in the mood or fucking him to sheer exhaustion and then fucking him again when it wasn't what he would have chosen. And then I slowly became a bit rougher with him, making him gag while blowing me, when I knew he wasn't thrilled to give blow jobs, and slapping him around a little bit at the height of arousal. And then, ultimately, mostly because it fit my plan, when we were laying low in Barcelona on our finalâand we hoped undetected by the oppositionâapproach to Cyprus, I brought a male prostitute in from off the docks and had him fuck Steve roughly while I watched.
Steve was crying when the bruiser left, and I knelt beside him and placed his hand on my engorged dick and told him that what I had seen aroused me so much that we would do this again. And then I forced my hand between his thighs and spread his legs as he whimpered, and I worked my hardened cock inside his swollen and bruised channel and fucked him myself. Although it had all been part of a pattern I was establishing, watching the rough sex had, indeed, aroused me like none of my previous encounters with Steve had, and for the first time the sex was as good for me as it was for Steve.
Back in Nicosia at the embassy once more, it took me almost a week of showing what Steve had learned of the tradecraft to convince the chief of station to change handlers for the now-troublesome and unstable Tahir, who was our asset in the Turkish Cypriot prime minister's office.
That done, I went over to the Turkish side of the island in the afternoon and called Tahir, using our old contact system of claiming to be his tailor telling him that a suit was ready for him to pick up and needing to talk to him personally to set up a meeting, as final fitting was required.
Tahir was delighted to hear from me and started to tell me over the phone, from his own office, how unhappy he was that I had just disappeared when we had come together at last and how much he hated his new contact. I had to shush him and make him realize he was talking over an open phone line. But from his reaction, I could tell both that he was genuinely distressed I had left him and that something would have to be done quickly to placate him or he would become completely unhinged and would give us away. I also became certain that he had no idea that I had left Kyrenia with his uncle, the international arms dealer, Fazil Fikret, the last morning we'd been together. I also was still unsure that Tahir even knew what a high intelligence target his uncle was.
"I am so sorry my shop men gave you so much trouble with your suit order, Mr. Hulagu," I smoothly inserted in his running conversation, trying my best to neutralize what he was saying. "Now about the final fitting. How about 8 PM. And I will bring my assistant with me. Samiâas for your first fitting."
Anyone listening to our conversationâI hopedâwould understand that the fitting would be at 8 PM in my shop, and my assistant, Sami, would be there. But what I was relating to Tahir in code was that we were to meet at 8 PM at the Club Paradisio, where we had first been introduced by the intermediary, Sami. I also was conveying that I would have someone with me, so that Tahir wouldn't be spooked by finding that out when we met again.
When I rang off, I told Steve that we had a date with the man who would be his first asset to run here in Cyprus, if he proved able to do that. Steve got excited, and we went over Tahir's file. I impressed on Steve how important Tahir was to us, not the least because of his relationship to Fazil Fikret, who Steve had already met and whose intelligence interest to us was well known to Steve.
"Above all, you have to develop a good relationship with Tahir. Do you understand that?" I asked.
"Yes," Steve answered.
"Tahir was originally my asset, and we worked together quite well. My replacement hasn't been a good fit. You must be a good fit, or, frankly, Steve, I don't think the service will keep you on."
Steve sat there, thinking hard about that. "Do you meanâ?" he started to ask.
"I mean sex, Steve. We control this asset with sex. He must be pleased. Do you understand and can you do thatâfor a chance to become a full-fledged agent?"
"Yes, butâ"
"That means that we take two cars across to the Turkish side tonight. If I come back alone, you will be on your way to becoming a full-fledged agent."
Steve's eyes grew large. "But weâ"
"There is no 'we,' Steve, one way or the other. Surely you've come to sense thatâthat what you want isn't what I can fully give. I have matched you carefully with the need here, Steve. If you prove yourselfâif you decide to do what it takes to become a full-fledged agentâyou will use whatever talents you have to the best of your ability. And, I'm happy to add, I think you will enjoy yourself in the process. Much more so than with me."
I left Steve to cogitate on these truths and went to prepare myself and to order up two sedans from the embassy carpool.
I was very happy to see immediately upon entering the smoky and somewhat seedy and practically deserted Club Paradisio at 8 PM that I had guessed correctly. There were no lights on in the club bar, except for a color wheel trained on a clichĂŠd overhead revolving ball inset with small mirror squares. Such activity as there was was off in the booths along the wall, and the air was heavy with Turkish tobacco smoke. The gay scene in Turkish Cyprus was mainly out on the beaches and in the backseats of cars on deserted mountain roads. Only the furtive "not so sure about this" set came to the tawdry clubs in the alleyways of the larger towns.
It was the dark atmosphere in the club that had mainly attracted me to this club when I originally suborned Tahir through an introduction from the male pimp, Sami. It was nearly impossible to see who was doing what with or to anyone.
