Falling for Phillip Graves was a slippery slope, one second he shoots you a wink, and the next you end up tangled in his sheets asking yourself how you got here. The early morning crept through his room as you attempted to hide from the streaks of sun bouncing off the walls. Lightly pulling the blanket off you were about to sneak out of bed. Before you got a chance a strong arm reached around your waist pulling you back in.

"Too early doll, stay here with me", Phillip whispered as he placed a small kiss on your neck.

"I have things to do today, I can't be here all day," you protested, however, you reluctantly let the commander continue to shower you with kisses.

"Shhh, go back to sleep", he muttered in between kisses, his eyes remaining closed. It was hard to say no to the handsome man next to you as you laid back down, thinking of how you ended up here.

It had become customary to go out to the bar with the Shadows after a mission, a way to unwind. Graves rarely joined, as much as he loved his liquor, he spent most of his time preparing for the next mission. This time he finally decided to join the company out at the shitty dive bar. Maybe it was just a coincidence but in the weeks prior you and the commander had been sharing more looks and flirtatious jabs than usual, and now here he was paying for your drink.

Something about Phillip had always pulled you in, he was quite charming or cocky, whatever it was, it was attractive. He oozed confidence and it made it all the easier to fall for him.

"You did good today, you deserve it", Graves handed you the drink he had just paid for, as he smiled.

"Couldn't have done it without you though" you smiled back as you slightly raised your glass to "cheers" with his. He stepped towards you, closing the small space between the both of you. Having Phillip Graves this close wasn't something you were used to, his hand crept down to stroke your arm as he went on about the day's events. His voice was muffled in your ears as you were too focused on the fiery touch on your arm.

"Hello? Ya there?" he waved his drink in front of your face trying to get your attention back to the conversation at hand.

Your voice now caught in your throat, letting out a small cough in an attempt to gain your composure, "Yeah, sorry, just distracted",

"Bout what?" he inquired, "Music too loud in here? Too crowded? What is it?" as he went on his hand moved from your arm to your waist pulling you closer so you could hear him clearly.

"You, you're distracting me" looking up at him finally

"Me?" he smirked "Whaddya mean darlin'"

"I think you're well aware of what you're doing here Phillip," you slightly nodded at him as you took a sip of your drink

"And what would be wrong with that?" he tested the waters to see where you were at, "I think we both know what we want here"

"Tread carefully Commander"

"You first sweetheart" he chuckled as he shot a wink your way.

Your idea of "treading carefully" has resulted in ending up somehow making out in the back of a cab, which then led to being in Phillip's room. A sense of urgency rose between the two of you fighting for dominance, neither of you willing to be the first to give it up. Graves finally relinquished his power allowing you to tread carefully until you were on top of him.
