After Hours (XE)

Nathalie was just praying for this day to be over. Normally, she and Gabriel would be done, but of course, they had big deadlines to meet by the end of the week- which means they were working later than normal. The sun was starting to set- and she'd normally be done already. Despite this, there was so much to do. She sat, frivolously typing away what felt like her thousandth email of the day. As she was typing, she noticed a shadow looming over her- of who she just assumed was Gabriel. She assumed correctly.

"Nathalie." He called her.

"Yes, Gabriel?" She didn't even look up from her computer screen.

"You've been working so hard. Perhaps once you're done with that email... you should take a break."

"That sounds lovely, but I would rather just finish the rest of what we have to do. The sun's already going down, and we both still have work to do."

"Oh, really? And nothing can change your mind?" He smirked to himself, before his brain hatched a devious plan- he was glad she was so dedicated to finishing, but even she needed to take a moment to step away from work, and he reckoned he came up with the perfect plan. As her nails clicked against the keys of her keyboard, she heard what sounded like fabric rustling. Clicking the send button, Nathalie's eyes glazed over as she saw Gabriel standing before her, missing his suit jacket, vest and ascot, and now casually slipping his shirt off his shoulders. Her eyes widened as she looked him over- face flushing a soft shade of red.

"You're ridiculous." She put her head in her hands, not about to fall for his trap.

"Maybe, but you know you like it..." He said as he stood behind her, arms wrapping around her.

"This really can't wait until we're done for the evening, huh?"

He leaned in and tugged down the fabric of her sweater over her neck, and gave her neck some gentle kisses. "No. I want you now."

She relented, and tilted her head slightly to her right- so he was free to give her more kisses along her neck- and she was starting to give in. "Alright, alright... just let me stand up before you get too excited..." She mumbled, suddenly feeling stifled by her blazer and sweater. He released her momentarily, as she stood herself up from her chair. Once she was to her feet, his strong arms wrapped around her waist, tugging her blazer to get her to take it off, which she did. She also slipped out of her sweater, both garments draped over the back of her desk chair. He pulls her close, his bare chest pressed to her back. As he began to ravage her neck in kisses again, a shiver ripped across her body, causing goosebumps to form on her skin. One of his hands trailed across her abdomen, and then up to cup her breast. Through his fingers, he could feel the black lace of her bra- which was delectable to the touch and to the eyes.

Kissing her neck, he left a few gentle bites- and each bite caused her to flinch. He could feel her butt press against his crotch harder, and he responded by gently squeezing the breast in his hand, and a soft sigh escaped her lips. He lifted his head from her neck, using his other hand to squeeze the other breast. He leaned into her ear and whispered.

"Nathalie... Do you know how long I've desired to make you mine again, right here? In our workspace? Too long..." His husky voice in her ear and warm breath on her skin caused her to shudder instinctively.

With her brain clouded with lustful thoughts, she could only muster one word, "Really?"

"Of course... I can't get enough of you. Plus, the acoustics are wonderful- all the better to hear you and I with." He teased her, gently biting her ear while doing so. Surely, her cheeks were a similar shade to her turtleneck sweater if they weren't already.

"Gabriel... what if someone hears us?" She whined softly, as she felt his fingertips sliding down her to the hemline of her pants. His fingers slipped into the waistband, giving them a gentle tug. She assisted him, carefully removing her shoes and letting her pants fall to the floor. She stepped out of them.
