Somebody to love

He watched her for a few minutes, the cute habit of sticking her tongue out a bit made him smile. Then he remembered the ice cream and dished up two nice size bowls of it, dousing them generously with caramel. He set her bowl by her laptop and smiled as he looked up for a moment, then set his bowl down across from her and went to get a tablet from the security room. As he walked back in, he paused at the door, watching her type furiously. He grinned and walked over, sitting across from her and taking a bite of his ice cream. He looked to her untouched bowl and laughed softly.

"It's gonna melt, Rochelle."

She narrowed her eyes in concentration and looked over at her notes, typing more. Her nimble fingers speeding across the keys at about 100 or more words per minute. She had forgotten herself for a moment until he spoke and caused her to stop typing, peering up at him from behind her laptop screen. She chuckled and shook her head. "Oh right, thank you." She took a spoonful and brought it to her mouth, watching him as she did so. He made her nervous, this was still true....but maybe she could make him nervous too. She opened her mouth slowly and placed the spoon on her tongue, slowly pulling it out. Closing her eyes, she savored it. Sucking on the melting cream in her mouth, she opened her eyes and moaned softly. "Mmm...this is really good."

His eyes grew at the show she made of enjoying the ice cream...sucking on the spoon was a very nice touch...his jaw dropped for a moment as he felt his cheeks flush from where she was sending his mind. He smiled and took another bite.

"I'm going to have to remind Vincent to get more of this. It's quite good...isn't it?"

He was hoping she did not catch his reaction....or was she playing with him this time? He grinned a bit broader and thought about that idea. Perhaps this was her way of teasing him back.

She grinned as he appeared to change the subject after he himself, mister hardcore security who she barely saw smile when he was on the job, it made her giddy to know she was the one he smiled most around. And his smile was gorgeous. She did a dance in her head for success and her tongue swooped across her lips to get the excess chocolate. She turned the spoon upside down and bit gently on the curve as she watched him. Her brows rose and she nodded to agree with his suggestion about getting more.

Scooping another spoon, she did the same thing again, never taking her eyes from his. Her lips slowly gliding off of the silver, her lips cold from the ice cream.

He grinned as she repeated her game, though with a bit less shock value. As he ate his bowl, he noticed hers was not getting much smaller and grinned as an idea came to him. He slipped over to sit next to her, taking the spoon from her fingers.

"You type, I'll take care of the rest."

He grinned, swirling some caramel onto the spoon, then a little ice cream, holding it out for her to accept.

She smiled and felt a bit more confident in her teasing. He moved to sit next to her and she watched as he took her bowl and suggested she continue her work. Running her tongue over her lips, she nodded and turned to her computer, beginning to type. In the corner of her eye, she saw him offer her a spoon and without ceasing her typing, turned her head and looked at him as she opened her mouth.

He grinned as he lifted the spoon, slipping it between her lips, keeping his eyes locked on hers. He watched as she closed her mouth over it, a smile on her lips. He slowly pulled the spoon free, grinning. He set the spoon down and held up one of the cherries, holding it above her head, grinning.

She continued to type by memory, what she was working on but found it a bit more difficult as she was distracted by his eyes. She grinned and swallowed the cold ice cream, chuckling when he offered her the cherry. She leaned forward and opened her mouth to cup the cherry with her tongue and then closed her mouth over it, pulling it free from the stem without using her hands. She chewed and winked at him, then turned back to her screen to finish writing the paragraph.

A few strokes later, she was hitting send on her email to Tijgerian. Sitting back, she sighed. That was done, only three more to go. Looking over at him, she shook her head. "You're distracting...." She smiled playfully. "But a good distracting."

He smirked at her comment and scooped up more ice cream, offering it to her.

"Do you want me to stop?"

She giggled and leaned over to take another bite of ice cream, too busy staring at him she ran into the spoon and chocolate got on her cheek. Sexy moment fail. She laughed and threw her head back, laughing harder. "Sorry!" She said as she looked back at him, chocolate smeared across her cheek.

Tolvin laughed as the spoon missed and smeared chocolate on her cheek. He set the spoon in the bowl and reached out, using his fingers to trace a line, lifting some of the chocolate from her cheek and sucked it off his fingers. He looked at her with heated eyes and flashed her a wicked smile.

"You're delicious."

She continued to laugh until he ran his finger across her cheek and then placed it in his mouth. Her stomach felt like it tightened and seeing him do that made her shift in her seat. All her lady parts screamed at that and she felt her face heating up. When he spoke....only two words....she stopped breathing and her laugh had ceased. Her smile still tugging at her lips. "I..I am...I mean.." she shook her head and tried to get her words to form right as she closed her eyes and said them slow. "That was more like a question." she opened her eyes and smiled again without showing her teeth.

Was it suddenly reaaaaaally hot in the kitchen, or was that just her? She shifted again in her seat and cleared her throat nervously.

He gently ran his fingers through the chocolate again, cleaning more off her cheek and held out his fingers to her with a wicked smile.

"Taste for yourself..."

She looked at his finger after he swiped more chocolate from her cheek, her smile growing again. Did he really? Was he serious? He was testing her...she narrowed her eyes for a moment before leaning forward. She looked at his finger and then back up at him, feeling slightly awkward.

She opened her mouth slightly, moving forward so that her mouth was around his finger, but not touching anything. She slowly closed her mouth over his finger and sucked the chocolate off, sliding her mouth off slowly. She grinned and licked her lips, giving a shrug. "Very...tasty."

He blinked when she sucked the chocolate off his fingers, shifting a bit himself this time. It looks like she was ready to give as good as she got. He grinned at her and stood, walking into the kitchen and coming back with a wet paper towel, cleaning her face, and threw it away. He sat back down and grinned at her, lifting a spoon of quickly melting ice cream and holding it out.

"Now...where were we?"

She smiled proudly after seeing him shift in her seat. She did make him nervous. It was then her brain connected 2 plus 2 and got 4....she realized the thing she just did...and the implications it could mean. She flushed after he walked out and mouthed. "Oh my god." After realizing her moves were possibly crossing a line.

She turned back to her laptop and began typing the next document, mentally cursing herself. Of course he'd think of her as that type of girl after doing what she just did. She felt like she could die. When he re-entered the room, she cleared her throat and stopped typing when the wet cloth touched her cheek. "Thank you.." She said softly and typed some more on her laptop. His question made her smile a little. "We were...um..." She looked at him in the corner of her eyes and still felt the burn of her face. As she typed, she changed the subject.

"What kind of work do you have to do?" She asked without looking at him.

He held out the spoon with one hand as he tried not to notice her blush. She had obviously realized how sensual that little game had been and was trying to redirect things. He used his free hand to slid the tablet over to where they were sitting, bringing up the reports.

"I just skim through these and look for anything that stands out. My people know what to do if that happens, so this is more for oversight than need."

He watched as she looked at the spoon then back to her screen. He smiled and set it back in the bowl.

"Tired of ice cream?"

She looked over at the tablet as he explained his work and smiled a cheeky smile before looking back at the screen to type more. "So you basically oversee things and make sure it goes smoothly." She assessed his job and shrugged. "Your job must be entertaining, I'm sure you know everything that goes on."

hearing his question, she stopped typing and looked over at him, chuckling and shaking her head. "Oh, no I'm good. Thank you. Here let me get that for you." She took the bowl gently from his hands and stood. Their chairs were close together and when she stood she realized the pant suit she had on was stuck to the leg of his chair, causing her to tumble forward landing against his chest. Her chest...in his face. "Oh! I'm sorry! It's stuck!" She moved her foot and struggled to get free.

So many thoughts went through his mind. Was she testing him? Had this been on purpose to see what he would do? He grinned, admittedly letting her stay against him for a moment longer than needed. He took her waist in his hands and lifted her off her feet as he stood. He kicked his chair back, setting her down on the corner of the table, grinning as he looked in her eyes. He pushed some stray hair from her face and smirked.

"Now then...that was an adventure, yes?"

He stood close to her, but would respect his promise to her. He looked deeply in her eyes, smiling.

He lifted her off her feet with such ease, she squeaked wrapped her arms around him as he stood too. Still holding the bowl, she was proud of that...at least the bowl survived. She chuckled as he set her down on the corner of the table, standing really close to her. She smiled and nodded, "An adventure indeed."

So close..he was really...close. She swallowed nervously and whispered. "Bowl..." Blinking, she cleared her throat and spoke up. "I have the bowl, I mean, I have to...have to...save the....bowl." She continued to look into his eyes and her eyes betrayed her by looking at his lips. He wouldn't until she asked...he wouldn't...she couldn't...she shouldn't....

He could almost see what she was thinking, at least he believed he did. He took the bowl from her hands, setting it aside and smiled at her. His eyes momentarily dropped to her lips...so kissable...but he had promised. His eyes moved back or to look into hers. He loved being this close to her...his hands returned to her hips as he looked in her eyes. He smiled at her and spoke softly.

"The bowl is safe, Rochelle. Are you OK?"

She nodded to answer his question, words failing her right now...per usual. His hands resting on her hips caused her to lick her lips nervously and lean back a bit to continue looking at him. She forced a bigger smile and nodded again. "I'm...Okay."

She inhaled slowly and swooned a bit. "You smell so good..." She said without thinking and her eyes widened because she said it out loud...

His hands moved up her sides and he rested his hands on her shoulders, looking in her eyes.

"Well thank you...I try."

He laughed softly. He leaned in, burying his face in her hair a moment, then pulled back, smiling as he gazed into her eyes.

You do too..."

She pressed her lips together when he answered her little outburst. "I..." She laughed nervously and shrugged. "Well....yeah..." God really? You smell so good? Really Rochelle?

He leaned closer to her and his face was right next to her neck as he inhaled. Her brows went up as he pulled back and she chuckled when he complimented her too. Speaking through her smile, she shook her head. "I'm not good at his...."

He smiled as he looked in her eyes.

"Not good at what?"
