Agent John Macallister is so deep undercover he’s not sure who he is anymore. Fortunately the Agency has sent one of their best operatives to rescue him -- from himself. Only problem? She’s a giant anaconda.


Sleeping with the man you’re guarding is a bad idea. Especially if you’re a snake shapeshifter pretending to be nothing more than a six-foot-long, yellow anaconda and you’re in love with the man you’re guarding. As if not being able to have sex with John isn’t bad enough, they’re in the middle of a drug dealer’s paradise and everyone wants him dead. Kim doesn’t know which is harder, keeping John alive or keeping her hands -- and her identity -- to herself.

John sighed as he stared up at the ceiling. He was hard as steel and willing to fuck almost anything to ease the ungodly pain in his dick. He tugged the sheet up to his chin and wrapped a hand around his unruly cock. He closed his eyes and pictured the sweet face of the agent who’d been assigned to prepare him for this mission.


The mission that had once seemed so simple was anything but. The line between right and wrong had faded so long ago he didn’t even have a side anymore. Doing what he had to survive was what had kept him alive this long.


Kim had looked and sounded like an angel. When she’d briefed him he’d had trouble concentrating because of the desire to ram his dick into her and show her the rumors about his prowess in bed were true. That she hadn’t looked at him with anything but respect and admiration didn’t matter.


Long, brown hair he’d wanted to fist his hands in, and dark eyes like the fathomless depths of the ocean were what he wanted to drown himself in. That and her pussy. Though she appeared small and delicate, he knew she was anything but.


Kim was hard as nails and took no shit from anyone. If he’d tried to take her there on the table in the briefing room, she could have killed him at least five different ways. She was one of the best.


He was willing to bet that under her hard agent exterior was a submissive begging to get out. He’d been a master long enough to recognize a sub when he saw one, and he had no doubt she was one. The thought of seeing her tied against a wall wearing nothing but his collar had made him so hard during the briefing, he’d barely been able to listen to his directions, so much blood had rushed to his cock. God, how he wanted to fuck her brains out.


Sliding his hand up and down his cock, he pictured her kneeling over him, that hair falling down and brushing against his chest as she straddled him. When she settled on him, her breasts would rub against his chest. He might even squeeze and play with them, massaging them as she moaned in pleasure. She’d sink down on him, taking all of him and loving every inch.


Pre-cum dripped from the tip of his cock. John rubbed the moisture with the pad of his thumb, then spread it around the head. He needed to come so bad he wasn’t surprised he was on the verge of exploding even without any lube.


She’d tighten around him, squeezing his dick with her pussy as she screamed out his name and quivered around him. But he wouldn’t let her come right away. No, she’d have to work for it. After months of needing her in his bed while she was home safe and sound with whatever weak-willed pathetic boyfriend she had, he’d make her pay first. Then, finally, when she was practically in tears needing her release so bad she could taste it, he’d let her come. Her fluids would drench him as she shattered and came hard.


John roared as he shot his load so hard he felt dizzy. He slowly stroked his dick until he couldn’t take any more. With a shuddering sigh he opened his eyes and stared into the black gaze of Nalini.


“Can’t a man jack off in peace?” he growled, uncaring when her tongue flicked out and her fangs were bared. Snakes scented the air with their tongue. Human characteristics notwithstanding, he refused to believe she’d stuck her tongue out at him in defiance. He wouldn’t give her that much credit.


With another growl, he wiped himself with the sheet and tossed it at the door as he rolled on his side and tugged up the blanket. “If you’d let me bring a woman in here I wouldn’t have to do the job myself.”


Nalini slithered up the bed and curled up against him.


“Is it too much to ask that you let me get laid? Just once for crying out loud.”


Her steady stare was unnerving. Even though he trusted her with his life, this seeming communication was a sure sign he really was going insane as Walt had suggested.


“It’s a shame you can’t really talk to me.” He sighed and lifted the covers. Nalini slid in and curled her body against his. “It’s a damn shame you aren’t a real woman, one who could warm me instead of using my body heat to keep you warm.”


If Nalini were a cat, he’d swear she purred as he rubbed her head. Sometimes he caught her watching him masturbate, like tonight. It was why he’d hidden under the sheet to do it. She looked almost hungry when he jerked off. He’d resorted to waiting for her to disappear so he could release some of his tension, but tonight she hadn’t made a move to go anywhere.


Damn snake put a crimp in his love life. But he wouldn’t give her up for the world. She’d saved his neck more times than he could count. When she was in his room he could sleep like a log, knowing nothing that entered would still be alive come morning.

“Have you been introduced to my darling Nalini?” John Macallister slid his hand over the smooth scales of his beloved anaconda. Like a sign from the gods, she’d come to him and watched over him, protecting him these last few months when would-be upstarts tried to end his life prematurely. Her appearance only reinforced his determination to carry out his task.

“Nalini?” Walt focused on the snake. “You speak of it as if it’s a human.”

“Nalini is many things, Walt, but human is not a word I’d use to describe her.”

Nalini’s tongue snaked out, testing the air. John had done thorough research on anacondas, and more specifically the yellow anaconda. Because she was native to South America, it really was no surprise to find her one morning in his room. His first thought had been to destroy her, but then he realized she wasn’t here to hurt him. When she made her first kill -- an assassin who’d crept into John’s room that same night -- he realized she was special and had given her a name and made her his pet.

“It’s a snake.”

Nalini tensed on his shoulders, and stared at Walt. Watching Walt’s eyes widen as the six-foot-long snake eyed him like he was dinner sent a thrill of pleasure through John. “She doesn’t take too kindly to being called an ‘it’.”

“It’s a goddamned snake, John. Are you insane?”

“Insane?” John laughed and studied the beautiful yellowish-brown and black scales on Nalini. He slid his hand over her smooth body again, the motion soothing his nerves and helping him stay focused. “You could call me insane, but you’d be wrong. I’m more sane than any of you in this room. Believe me when I say your death has been coming for a long time. You’ve stolen from me, Walt. You’ve bitten the hand that feeds you, and now you will know what it feels like to be betrayed by those you trust.”

Oooooh, I have to read more of this. I'm going to have to get it so I can finish it. readingbookfast

[hollie]

snake shifters that sounds fun

[Michelle Hasker]

This one was very fun to write. If any of you watch Doctor Who, the Master was my inspiration :)

hehehhee

I love to write about unusual shifters. It's fun!

[CharmedGirl]

Great excerpt and why would the snake shifter want to keep her hands to herself. LOL

[Michelle Hasker]

Or her tongue
*slaps hand over mouth

oh dear, I said that out loud, didn't I?

I need to stop blurting things out >:)

[Dani]

LOL!! I know I wouldn't want to. If I were her, my tongue would be everywhere. :devil:

[sabby07]

Michelle,
I have to tell you all of my life I have had a phobia of snakes alive or snakeskin anything. I am not afraid of them biting me I am afraid that they will feel slimy. Yes I know big WEIRDO- This being said I totally want to read this story. I will be your only reader who is reading it with my feet tucked under my butt so nothing gets me under my desk but I will do it LOL

[Dani]

Sabby, they're not slimy at all. They're really smooth and actually soft in a way even when wet.

[sabby07]

My best friend had a boa and it took me almost a year to go into the living room where its cage was LMBO i am such a weeny!

[Michelle Hasker]

Dani - love the way you think woman!!

Sabby, that has to be the best compliment I've ever received! I'm terrified I will give you nightmares though. It's a darker story than Monkey was. All the same, "I" loved it hehehe.

I actually got a really great review that I'm waiting for it to go live to post. *bounces*

I have one reader who has read all my books and is going to skip this one. I completely understand :)

That being said, who wouldn't lust after The Master in ass kicking fatigues in the middle of a South American Jungle? *snickers

[Michelle Hasker]

I don't think you are a weenie at all!

I actually have a lot of snake nightmares. Perhaps I should pull out my dream book. Only thing...the snakes never hurt me in my dreams. They don't even try to hurt me. LOL

But then I have all kinds of outrageous dreams. Midnight Rendezvous started as a dream. Agency Book three was a dream. Hehehe

[Dani]

Thank you for the compliment on the way I think. Sometimes I think some very bad (good) things that would be very good in stories, but just can't get them out on paper. LOL!

Boy, maybe I need to take another crack at writing about my dreams (and maybe fantasies...LOL). Laugh it Up fuzball

[Michelle Hasker]

GO for it, Dani!
Even if you never publish it, it is good to write them out :)

[Dani]

I may give it a try. Who knows what will happen. WriterCoffee

4.5 hearts from Steph at The Romance Studio.

Part of the review:
The Agency: Serpent’s Kiss is the second book in this delightfully sensual undercover agent series. I recommend you read book one, The Agency: No Monkey’s Business, first. This story doesn’t depend on the first story but the story line is building from book to book and you don’t want to have missed out on any of the fun. I love the zaniness of having an undercover shape shifter become a huge anaconda snake. Kim and her alter ego Nalini are marvelous; she is a tough, independent, and highly capable agent. John is also a capable agent but part of the fun is that he has no idea that his pet snake is really another agent sent to protect him and the one agent he wants to have sex with too. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next installment of this series!
