"Is this real?" She asks and I put my hand over hers covering my heart.
"Yes, I think its real, I feel you... in here" I tell her from my heart, wanting her to really see, to believe and then I kissed her and felt her body melt into mine.Her sounds and the feel of her in my arms holding me on the brink of losing control and taking her to my... our bed, but I knew she wasn't ready, not yet.
"Baby, we need to slow down" I soothe her, wrapping her up into my arms and holding her as close as I can. Her breathing is choppy and she relaxes into me as she takes deep breaths, then shocks me once again with her strength as she leans back and looks up at me.
"But I want to. I want you to throw me on the bed and make me yours, so so much" she grins up at me, laughing at the shock on my face.
"Don't tease me, little minx, I'm holding onto my control by a thread" I warn her softly, leaning my forehead against hers and breathing her in.
"I know and... thank you, you are right, the speed of this is scaring me, it feels right as if I've known you forever, but this morning... just this morning I thought you were my enemy, I just need some time" she tells me carefully,"It's yours, but will you stay with me, you can have all the time you need, as long as you are by my side I can wait" I feel her nod against me and I relax a little as well. Pulling back, I put some space between us, wondering if my next suggestion would be the right thing to do.
"I'm going to get dressed, then would you like to review the Deering files with me, with your knowledge of the company we might be able to identify how we can deal with the threat to you"
"You really want me to help you?" she looks up at me, eyes wide.
"Yes, there has to be something there, something we are all missing, but they think we may know. That's why they are setting me me and using you as a target to to so." I tell her and she nods. I lean down and drop a chaste kiss on her forehead before letting her go and crossing to the dressing room, hiding my smile at her gasp as I let the towel fall, a quick glance her way showing me her gaze caught on my body.
"Want me to pose for you?" I tease, watching the blush creep over her and making her groan before laughing as I pull a strongman pose.
"One day I might take you up on that" she mutters back and I grin as I finish dressing.
She's stood in the middle of my bedroom when I come out of the dressing room, her gaze shyly lowering as I stalk towards her, her earlier words about throwing her on my bed, coming back to haunt my mind and my gaze heats but I resist.
"Come on baby, before I forget to be good" I grin at her, reaching for her hand and pulling her behind me as I head for my office.
She baulks a little at the doorway but I give a little pull and she follow me inside, he gaze scanning the room nervously. "Should I be in here?" she mutters almost silently.
"I won't keep any secrets from you" I tell her to her surprise "Not unless its for your own good" I amend, guiding her into a chair one side of the desk and handing her one of the files. "This is what the police have so far" I put a pad and pen in front of her and some yellow tabs. "Mark and record anything you think is wrong" I instruct her and she nods absently, already reading the file.
I move round and sit opposite her, pulling the file from our inside man towards me, my gaze frequently returning to Mabel, conscious of every move she makes and when she starts adding tabs and making notes, I am fascinated by the expressions chasing across her face.
Eventually she closes the file and looks back at me "How did you get this?" she asks curiously.
"Our informant at the station gave it to me" I tell her watching to see how she reacts.
