3rd Person's POV-
With a sigh of frustration, Jo closed her laptop and stepped away from her desk. Definitely time for a break. And...maybe more coffee. She made her way downstairs, strolling by Hero's desk on her way to the kitchen. As she padded by, Hero swiveled around from his work station, leaning back in his office chair as he addressed her.

"What's disturbing you baby?" he asked, genuinely interested.She stopped and shrugged, sighing in mild exasperation. He patted his thigh, indicating she should come take a seat on his lap and tell him all about it. She reflexively perched herself on his knee  trusting that he could hold her full weight. He wrapped his arms loosely around her hips and turned his full attention on her. Patient and intent, he waited for her to share the mundane vexations of her daily life.

Jo chuckled a little, feeling her frustrations melt away. It felt good to be held by him, so calming. It embarrassed her to share what she considered to be boring aggravations about her day job. That said, she always felt better after she did. And, he seemed genuinely interested. She cleared her throat and started to explain.

"Well...you know how I've been working with my team to draft amendments to that hotel's swimming pool? We had them all ready to go, after hours of consultation and back and forth emails. And now...the chairman isn't going to even give it a damn hearing."

There was an edge to her voice, she was clearly annoyed. His hand found the small of her back and caressed her casually, and she responded with an absent minded wiggle. Jo elaborated on her plight, "and frankly it's bullshit that someone with an inflated ego has so much power over practical matters that will impact the quality of life for so many people. It's sooo frustrating and makes NO sense at ALL!!" She was definitely a confident, strong and fierce woman. She did whatever she felt like doing and Hero loved that fact about her.

Hero nodded understandingly, his fingers slipping under her shirt so the width of his warm palm could rest firmly against the curve of her low back. It was a small but comforting gesture. Jo felt her nervous system relax, a layer of tension releasing. She sighed and shook her head, smiling wryly at her situation and letting it go. It was easy to let things go when she was sitting on Hero's lap, telling him about the petty problems of the world.

With him, the world felt external to their existence, and like they were simply observing it rather than getting dragged into it. They sat for a beat in thoughtful contemplation, and he finally asked "Is there anything else you can do to influence the situation? Maybe find a sympathetic stakeholder with a little more potential and brain and patience?"

This made her smile. He was so sweet. Genuine questions like this completely melted her. She loved how he could understand the strategic premise of her problem without being involved in the details of it. This was wisdom at play, and it was a turn on. He worked in an entirely different field, but knew how to apply life lessons to most situations. Feeling like she had a co-conspirator was sexy and reassuring. And, it was a good question that reminded her to survey the lay of the land for a new plan of attack.

"Yes," she said, "There are indeed other stakeholders. I hear the chairman owes a lot of his  success from bribing , I can't imagine they are going to be pleased with his stubbornness on the ordinance." she looked at him, her spark renewed, "I think I've got some phone calls to make."
