" I don't do this kind of thing. " Penelope said while she was entangled in emerald green silk sheets and his arms. She had come to New York on a business request to help someone who knew her skill set make the corporate office where she worked more cyber secure . She had not expected Jason Bull. Sure she knew about him and had read a few papers he had written and he was beautiful even if it wasn't the accurate term for the moment .
His hand held one of hers. "You mean you don't do something you want for just you?"
She turned her head to face him. "I don't have wild totally mad with abandon screaming howler monkey sex with a man who I just restructured the entire cyber world at his place of business when said man is a paying client ."
He laughed. "Well I have been compared to a lot of things but never a howler monkey. You are definitely unique Penelope. "
" I've heard that one before. Usually right before the wow this has been really amusing but I don't think it's going to happen again speech. So why don't I save us both the awkward goodbye and call myself a car." She moved to the edge of the bed that they were in and away from him .
" It's late . This is my home , at least stay the night . If you want to leave in the morning, let me take you to breakfast and show you the town before you have to catch your flight."
" All right, you are very charming Jason. And I must admit this bed is a lot more comfortable than the one at my hotel. I'll stay and I don't fly back until Sunday. So there's that."
He wrapped his arms around her gently . " Well then at least I have you to myself for a few more days."
" Yes you do though at some point I will need to check in with my team. I don't like to be out of touch with them for too long."
" I'm sure they won't replace you . How many people who were once named The Black Queen end up with the FBI anyway?"
"So you know about that, I was wondering how long it would take before my skill set came up in conversation. Though I didn't expect it to be when I was wearing your button down shirt and my panties underneath it ."
He ran a hand over a strand of her hair that had a newly applied lavender streak in it. She and Cable had gotten matching ones a few days before.
" It doesn't matter what you did before I met you . I know why." His lips touched an area below her earlobe.
" I think I need a bath. Do you want to order something in for what meal is this dinner or I can cook."
" You go and have a nice shower and let me handle dinner. I know you don't eat a lot of meat but I think I might have an idea."
" All right, should I dress up or is it casual?"
" We're going to eat in my kitchen so there's no dress code."
" Good because I am almost at the point of needing to do laundry with my dressier clothes that I packed."
" Wear whatever, I do like how you look in jeans however. "
" Then jeans it shall be. See you in a little while."
She got out his bed and pulled on a fuzzy robe that said Wonder Woman on the back and looked well worn. He made a note to get her a new one before she went home.
She gathered a few bath things and some clothing and headed to his bathroom .
He stood up and stretched slowly before he pulled on a white t shirt and some navy blue sweatpants. Then he headed to the kitchen to see what he had for a meal that she would like.
He knew when she left in a few days that it could be the last time he saw her . But he was just going to enjoy whatever this was until they both found out where it was going to go .
