Tales from the Borderlands One Shots

Lunch Break (Rhys X Reader)

Very first one shot for this series.  Hope you guys like it!  (BTW, as you read on and get to the part where you meet up with this dork, this is how he looks at you XD I thought it was perfect.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn't very often that you would get breaks like this.  When you work at Hyperion you barely ever get time off, scheduling appointments for Vasquez, ordering supplies and machinery, you were exhausted by the end of the day.

But today you were granted a miracle, not just by coincidence, Vasquez isn't the type of man to just hand out free time for his employees.  Luckily someone very close to you managed to get an hour off from work to have dinner together, and that lucky someone was a handsome man named Rhys.  He made sure that you and him got the same time off that day, you were to meet him in the cafeteria soon, so you made your way and left your office.

The continuous tapping of your heels followed you as you walked down the long hallway.  Pictures of Hyperion's previous ruler covered every inch on the walls, and an occasional plant or two to add more color and make the sky blue walls stand out more.  Large windows were the light sources that lit up the floor, making a delicate shade of blue illuminate off your face.  This place was huge, maybe a little too huge, at least to you anyways, everyone else seemed to be alright with it.  You were getting tired.

I should save up for a moped or something. . . These halls are not working well with these damned shoes. . .

But you pushed the pain in your feet aside and smiled happily when you saw a familiar figure standing not too far in front of you.  It was Rhys, and boy didn't he look handsome today.  Rhys was wearing one of his dashing suits, they were more colorful than the normal tux colors but he looked good nonetheless.  His toothy grin became bigger as you got closer to him.

"There she is,"  He said giving you a seductive look, you couldn't help but smile.  "Boy don't you look gorgeous today babe."  His arms enveloped you in a tight embrace.  His face buried deeper into your neck as he inhaled the intoxicating scent of your perfume and hair.  If only he had another hour alone with you. . . He wanted you more than anything at that moment.

You smiled happily as his hands ran down your back, but when you felt him playing with your zipper down at the crease of your back you slapped his arm.

"We're kind of in public Rhys.  You know that right?"  You ask him, giving him a playful grin.  He gave a small chuckle before his fingers intertwined with yours.  Soon both of you were making your way into the cafeteria.  The smell of coffee and freshly cooked food filled your nose, your mouth was on the verge of drooling.

"What are you gonna get?"  You asked as you looked up into his beautiful eyes.  He bit his lip as he pondered at the large menu board above you two.  Everything sounded delicious to him. . . even you for that matter, but he was saving you for later. (No your not food, no Rhys isn't cannibal.  I was trying to make it sound sexy XD)  A small groan came from his throat, he wasn't sure what he wanted.

"What are you going to have?"  His eyes looked into your (e/c) eyes hoping you'd help him out on deciding.  You sighed, he was one of the most indecisive people you have ever met.  It would drive you crazy when he'd decide to get this then decide to get something different, then go back to the beginning.

"I think I'm gonna get a coffee and a salad."

Rhys's nose cringed.

"Coffee and salad?  That's sounds. . . kinda gross if you put them together."

"I have a small stomach damn it, and the coffee is for the rest of the day."

He chuckled and wrapped his arm around your shoulder, his hand gripped your shoulder and pulled you more into him.

Rhys finally decided on the steak sandwich and fries, and being the loving gentleman he is, he bought everything with his money.  You placed a quick kiss on his cheek to thank him, then you both made your way to an empty table with your food.  

You could talk with this man for hours, literally talk about anything, he'd make it more interesting to listen to by adding in his humor and small jokes.  And he'd occasionally slide his hand over onto your knee, and he was happy that you were wearing a skirt that day, his fingers would sneakily slide under the fabric and onto your thigh.  Chills went up your spine but you grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand away, the both of you would laugh afterwards and continue talking.  

"Did I tell you I may be getting promoted today?"  He asked you.  You sat up instantly and your heart filled with joy.

"Really?!  Good for you Rhys!  It's about damned time too, you deserve it!"  You say happily as you give him a quick kiss on the lips.  His hands gripped your elbows and pulled you in closer, and he smiled as you kissed him which only made you want to kiss him more.

"And when I do me and you are going to celebrate."

"Oh?  Do you have something in mind?"  You playfully asked him.  

"Well I figured dinner, and then maybe some alone time because we both definitely need it."

Rhys caressed your face with his thumb and looked at you with lust in his eyes.  You had to agree with him, it had been a while since the two of you had spent a day alone with one another.  He'd sneak into your office for a moment and both of you would share a few moments of passionate kisses, the two of you rarely see each other during work hours except after the day was done.

You realized you only had seven minuets left until your break was over.  Rhys decided to walk you back to your office, and instinctively his hand enveloped your own.  Eventually the both of you made it to your office and you went inside.

"When you get that promotion, I don't care if I'm in the middle of something, you come straight here so I can kiss you."

He chuckled, and as he did his eyes bore into yours with a seductive and longing feeling.  This man had you deep, he did, and you loved it.

"Why can't you do that now?"

He reeled you in closer with his hands on your hips, and you didn't resist.  Work didn't concern you at the moment as he crashed his lips onto yours and lifted you up onto you desk.  He began showering you with kisses as his foot reached for the corner of the door to shut it.

It was a surprise you got anything done with him around. 

~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, what did you guys think? :)  I thought it was pretty good.  Rhys may seem a little awkward when you talk with him, but to me he seems like he would get pretty intimate when in a close relationship with someone, and that someone would be you in this case. 

Hope you enjoyed :)
