"Mr. Grissom, what a lovely surprise."
Lady Heather Kessler's tone was drenched in sarcasm. She had always kept her derision under wraps but lately it was harder to manage. Especially around Gil, whom she found to the one who always brought things out in her, things that she had wanted to keep hidden. Things she didn't want her employees to see. Like the dreaded sarcasm; if they found that that she could be classified as "funny", they'd have a field day. And the last thing anyone needs is a bunch of dominatrix/submissive employees running around making jokes about their employer. Lady Heather could picture it and oh, it did not look like a pretty sight.
"What brings you here?"
They played the game frequently and both had grown fond of it. Granted, it was a bit annoying at times. But it always lifted their moods and broke that somewhat present tension.
"I have a gift for you," Gil smiled at her. She still hadn't grown accustomed to his beardless face. "Here."
He thrust a package into her hands as they stood in silence. Heather carefully peeled the wrapping paper off, certain that it would be a gag of some sort. Surprisingly, it wasn't. In the white box was a black satin robe, one she had pointed out while shopping in the mall with Gil. It never occurred to her that he would purchase it. Throwing her arms around Gil, Heather couldn't help but stop their silly charade.
"Mr. Grissom, I believe you have redeemed yourself." She paused, a mischievous grin appearing on her face. "Shall I go and try it on?"
Gil smiled back at her, planting a kiss on her plump lips. "You do recall that I get wardrobe approval?"
The brunette couldn't suppress a laugh as they started up the stairs. "Mr. Grissom, I don't believe attire is needed for the act I have in mind."
Flashing him another smile, Heather took his hand and pulled him up the stairs, urging the Entomologist to walk a bit faster. And as they entered Heather's office, her statement about clothing not being needed was proven true.
