Something about your intelligence-type stories always feels depressing, amidst the wonderful sexiness. The combination of real passion with duplicity and deception, the combination of sexual subservience with emotional domination; It all feels very hot, and it makes me want to have a drink.
I agree that there's a depressing element to reality-based spy stories. Read Graham Greene and LeCarre, who come the closest I've seen to depicting the intelligence world as it is. I think the same underseam of depression is in their works as well. Intelligence work isn't all that noble.
Consistently well-written, intellectually engaging, and very, very, HOT! I have enjoyed many of your stories.
