The evening was moving slower than anticipated. Despite "Le Vie en Noir" opening weeks ago, Dean still had much work to do in his newest business venture.

People could not even tell this place was an abandoned warehouse, after he put his magical touch on it.

The positive and constructive reviews aided his ego in the upmost way. He had a special eye for these sort of things and it paid off once again.

"So what's up wit' you and that girl?"

"What do you mean?" Dean asked, showing lack of interest as he reread his schedule for the month.

The men took a break from the heavy lifting, lounging on the cozy office couch whereas the boss himself did not find himself needing one.

"Like are y'all together or not?" Maleek brought the cold bottle of beer to his lips at the same time Kevin shot him a look that spoke volumes.

Mainly the ones that sounded like, "Shut the fuck up."

"It's complicated."

"Didn't really sound complicated when you had your tongue down her throat last night." The boys laughed like goofs at Maleek's under the breath comment.

He was right. They did share a kiss the previous night, but it was a complete misunderstanding.

She had straddled his lap, no objection, slithered her hands from his bearded face to his neck, no objection, and met his warm lips with her own glossy ones, objection...

"Last night was a mistake on-"

"Speaking of the devil.."

"I've sorted your files and I've done the inventory for the week." She handed him a folder before flipping her straightened hair over her shoulder. She looked upon anything but him. She was avoiding his gaze.

Maybe she was embarrassed. Embarrassed of his rejection of what she thought was a no-brainer proposition.

Today, she wore an incredibly short grey dress that caressed her body type nicely. Almost ravishingly if he saw her in the manner she wished he did.

Almost.

He could only imagine how Robyn would look with it on..then off. Now that would be the definition of r a v i s h i n g.
