A/N: Content warning for once again explicit mentions of sexual activity but no actual engaging in said activity.

They pile into the large meeting room for their lunch, and Shayne and Courtney end up on the long bench across the back wall, Damien, Kimmy and Olivia around them, a tray of sushi sitting in the midst of their semi-circle. Courtney casually leans herself against Shayne's side, managing to find a way to comfortably arrange their legs so one of her feet rests between Shayne's.

"I think my thoughts are veering extra sexual because I'm doing this," he leans over unashamedly, whispering in her ear, "but one of my favourite things is when you lock your thighs around me when I'm eating you out. I love that I can make you feel like that. Also you taste really fucking good."

Shayne can feel a slight blush on his own cheeks when he pulls back to sit normally, and Courtney is also visibly reacting when he glances back at her.

"What was that?" Olivia grins, and they both flick their eyes over to see their three companions looking at them with confusion, or in Damien's case, a clear smirk.

"Nothing," Shayne answers, unconvincingly.

"I feel like we don't wanna know," Kimmy adds, and Courtney attempts to finish the discussion by reaching over Shayne to pull the lid off their tray of sushi. It works for a moment, all of them reaching for the food.

"With the amount you're blushing it's either gotta be super cheesy or super dirty, this isn't some hey did you buy groceries thing," Olivia picks up the conversation after they've all started eating, "but I dunno, you guys are so PG most of the time..."

"You know you mostly see us at work Liv, of course we're going to be staying safe for work at work," Courtney replies, as Damien lets out a noise that sounds a lot like a restrained laugh.

"I mean, it was Shayne, Shayne's super reserved and won't say anything sexual ever, I'd be surprised if it was that in front of us," Damien adds, and it causes Courtney to tilt her head in confusion and reach for her phone.

"you told him?" she texts Shayne. She feels his phone vibrate against her own leg, stuffed in the pocket she is leaning against, and she makes a split-second decision to grab it out of his pocket herself.

"Yeah, he is," Courtney responds to Damien's statement as she pulls it out, hoping to distract from the very clear chain of events beforehand.

"Did you just text him and then take his phone out to read it?" Kimmy asks, laughing, and Courtney shakes her head, although doesn't specify she's only referring to the second part of the statement.

"His phone went off and I felt it given you know," she gestures towards their legs, "it's effectively in my own pocket over here."

She hands Shayne his phone, and he immediately texts her a thumbs-up emoji, before typing out more messages.

"you can be in my pockets whenever you want baby. If you had any I might be looking to reach into yours..."

"also I don't care if you tell them fuck it we're all adults"

Courtney replies with her own thumbs up, before putting her phone down off to her side.

"Who texted ya? Anything interesting?" Olivia asks, reaching for another piece of sushi.

"Courtney," Shayne answers, "And I know she just said it wasn't her but – sometimes we gotta have a private conversation to agree on whether something can be said before it actually is said, so. Y'know."
