I hear bake sales can be pretty useful

Aaron staying in his office until late at night was not entirely out of character for him. He was overbearing, sure, a pain in the ass tyrant who acted like a drill Sargent most of the time but at the end of the day the team looked after him the way he looked after them - or at least he tried to. The team had noticed a dip in his late night activity when Aurora joined the team but this night seemed much different.

Aurora, Spencer and Emily huddled by the desk facing Aaron's office, Aurora's desk, a coffee in each of their hands. "it's been almost a year since he last pulled an all night-er" Emily whispered as though their boss' ears were good enough to hear them through the locked door, all the way down the stairs

"actually," Spencer started causing Emily to roll her eyes and rub her temples "it's been about 237 working days. Not quite a full year but Aurora came to work with us approximately 251 days ago - I haven't actually crunched the numbers on that one but the fact that the numbers are so close together is incredibly interesting" he stated, pulling out his notebook to make notes. Aurora's eyes grew wider and wider than what seemed physically possible as she darted her eyes between Spencer and Emily who had seemingly still not caught on to Spencer's implication.

"it is far far far too late for your numbers tonight" Emily sighed, nuzzling her head into Aurora's shoulder "I was supposed to be on a date with my gorgeous gorgeous Australian girlfriend tonight yet instead I'm here with you lot running probabilities about why he's sitting in his office when we all know it has everything to do with George Foyet" she groaned causing Aurora to break into shivers from the vibrations

"I think we should speak to him" Aurora spoke quite quietly causing Emily to groan again "let's face it, if he's off his game the whole team starts to crumble!" she was met with incredulous faces when she looked to her teammates surrounding her

"you can speak to him if you really really want to get involved with his office drama" Emily said with a sigh, grabbing her coat "if anyone is going to it should be you - unit chief to unit chief. Besides, you're his favourite so he can't get mad with you for going up there. You're just as hopeless as he is - that's why he likes you"

Emily left with Spencer, offering to save him from that horror that was subway traffic at 8 pm meaning Aurora was left alone in the office with Aaron. She crept quietly up the stairs, his eyes unwavering on the file in front of him, and raised her fist to the door knocking twice, her knock, Aaron startled slightly in his chair before moving to open the door "Aurora" he nodded curtly before opening the door and letting her in. As soon as she was within the parameters of his office he practically threw her against the wall, ripping the buttons off her shirt "if I had realised you were here we would have been doing this a lot sooner" he groaned against her newly exposed collar bone the same way Emily had

"we would have had an audience then" Aurora panted, moving with Aaron, taking off his shirt and attempting to unhook her bra before he could "Emily and Spencer left just a few minutes ago. They're worried about you" she whispered, pausing to take a hold of his face and look into his eyes "I'm worried about you Aaron"

"don't worry about me angel" he said, going back to his ruthless attack on her breasts, newly freed from the constraints of her Victoria's secret bra "I've gone through a lot worse with a lot less ... support" he said before circling her nipple with his tongue causing her to whimper ever so softly "you're the most supportive woman I've ever met"

"would that be because I let you do whatever you want to me?" she smiled, taking her free hand and beginning to undo the shiny leather belt holding his black suit trousers closed "or because I know exactly what it's like to torture yourself over the one that got away"

"I'm not tortured, Aurora" he stated, taking a full step away from her leaving her half naked on the wall, chest heaving, the picture of lust personified. "I just need to find him Aurora. I need to find him and put him away for good"
