(Prelude)


"You're very confident. What makes you think it can be done?" He asked his opponent not once taking his eyes off the expensive chess board. Each piece was hand carved from the finest ivory smuggled in from Africa.

He'd made sure the elephant was dead, a single shot to the head, testimony of his hunting skills before removing the tusk. Pictures of the safari hung on the walls of his study.

His sharp gaze landed on the perfect spot to move his king. Somehow he'd ended up on the defensive trying to avoid it's capture.

"What makes you think I can't do it?" She countered smoothly. He wasn't certain but he thought he could detect the hint of a smile as she watched him move his piece onto the dark square. He hesitated a moment before setting it down. As a businessman he new the importance of bluffing
unfortunetly so did the person sitting across from him.

"My corporation will put someone on the moon before you get on top of her." He said.

She smirked at his answer. "No one that beautiful could be so cold." She said. "And speaking of Xanatos Enterprises." She smoothly segwayed. "If I can seduce her, as a reward I want you to make me CEO of Gen-U-Tech Incorporated." At his shocked expression she continued.

"You no longer have any interest in the company but with my back ground in genetic research I can resurrect it." She added returning her focus to the game board. "What are your intentions?" He asked.

After the fiasco with the mutants and gargoyles he'd washed his hands of medical research and turned his focus to computer technology and robotics. "I have a few ideas nothing specific." She replied crypticaly. He leaned back in his seat studying her.

The poker face she wore gave nothing away. "You'll need an expert in the field of genetic research. Anton Sevarius seems to have dropped off the face of the earth." He said.

She frowned the lines momentarily marring her attractive features. "I don't want him. He's nothing more than a modern day Frankenstein." She spat in distaste. "I have a short list of candidates I'm going to offer the position." She told him. He quirked a dark brow in surprise.

"You've been thinking about this for some time?" He asked. She shrugged a slender shoulder. "What if you loose?" He asked. "What do I get if you can't seduce Elisa?"

She held the chess piece she'd picked up between two fingers. A smile lifting the corners of her full lips. "I will give you the one thing standing in your way of being the top technology company in North America." She said. "I'll complete the take over of my father's company, Cyberbiotics, and make you President." She offered.

He smiled delighting in the idea. "You are everything I could ever want in a woman." He said feeling the beginnings of arousal. "You're perfect in every way. But I do have one request." He said. He shook his head as mental images of his wife with Elisa flashed in his mind.

"I want to watch, from the beginning to the end, I want to see you fuck her." He said. "I want to hear her scream your name." His brown eyes burned into hers. "And when your done I want my turn with her too." He said. For a split second indecision showed on her face.

"Elisa despises you, she'll never allow you to touch her." She said. "But maybe I can convince her to allow you to watch." He stared at her suddenly feeling uneasy.

Reading his expression she moved to reassure him. "We could share her?" She suggested. He stared at her in silence.

"There is another way she could service me." He said. "I'll need her to help me get something past customs. He said. "Who better to do that than an NYPD detective." He added.

"What are you smuggling into the country?" Her own curiosity piqued. "I'm having something shipped in from Europe. She looked as if she wanted to ask more but she dropped it. "So," she drawled. "Do we have a deal?" She asked.

He smiled once again confident. Certain that he'd put himself in a win, win situation. "Let the games begin." He answered. "But Fox," she looked up from the board at his serious tone.

"If Elisa refuses to play by the rules, then all you get is one night." He said. "I will not allow you to see her behind my back." He paused staring intently at her. "Understood?" He asked.

She returned his look the atmosphere in the room going from playful to serious within seconds. A light laugh bubbled up from her throat. "Of course darling." She said. "And by the way," she added "check mate." She tipped over his king in defeat.
