Discovered an awesome series that unfortunately only had 3 seasons.
I don't own Crossing Lines or it's characters.
Because it would feel too much like giving in.
Tommy liked to think of himself as an down to earth guy, he liked things raw and direct. He wasn't one to over indulge, well unless when it came to drinking, but he knew where the limits were even if he frequently pushed them just to see how far he could. Still… he liked to think he was in control and that his vices didn't rule him. Someone else liked to push the limits though, and now that one specific limit was very close to being pushed right out the window. That's why he didn't eat the damn cupcake. And that's why he didn't grab his feiry partner and kissed her until she was gasping his name.
Because it felt like giving in.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, by God did he want to… But it would complicate things, make hard situations that much harder when they didn't need to be. Not to mention how likely they were to kill each other before the sweat hade even cooled on their bodies. The last week had been hell. Eva was a seductress by nature, born to flirt, tease and torment – and for some reason she had decided to take it out on him. Was it because of that fucking cupcake? Somehow she had figured out that he was attracted to her, to be fair it was hardly a secret but he figured she would just laugh it off and say something about him trying to charm his way into her bed, but no. Not Eva. She had taken every opportunity to touch him, light innocent touches who could be perceived as a friend caring for their partner, had he not caught the teasing smile on her lips. This morning when he was taking a cup of coffee she stood close to him and reached above his head for a coffee cup, accidently pressing her body lightly against his in the meantime. A mumbled sorry hardly made up for the fire burning in his veins when she finally pulled away, a bashful smile on her lips. He didn't say anything, prefering to let his eyes do the talking for him as they drilled into hers.
He'd ignored Sebastians laughter when he went back to his desk. He wondered what she would do if he actually cracked one of these days.
He was on his way back from a bagel run and was pushing the elevatorbutton angrily when she appaered next to him, the doors slid open and she followed him in.
"Hey"
"Hi"
She reached around him to push the button for their floor, her breast pressing lightly against his arm as she did so. He gritted his teeth
"Sorry" She eased herself back a bit.
He could hear the smile in her voice and the first crack in the wall was a fact. He turned quickly, startling her into taking a step back against the wall. His hand reached out and slammed the stop button and the elevator jerked to a halt without him taking his eyes from hers.
"What are you…"
He slammed a hand on the wall next her face, trapping her against it. Her eyes widened.
"What do you think your doing?"
"Taking the elevator?" She raised her chin and tried to push down the sudden feel of anxiety.
"You know what I mean"
"Actually I don't Tommy, but maybe we should hurry up, the major…"
"Is busy at the moment. What. Are. You. Doing?"
"I'm just…"
"Playing with me? That's not the best idea Eva"
For the first time she looked a bit unsure and he reveled in it. She had pushed and pushed and pushed and finally a little of him had cracked and he pushed back, and now she was just a little bit worried because she didn't know what he'd do.
"I haven't, Tommy, seriously come on…"
"You've tried to seduce me Eva"
Her mind opened a little bit in shock. Okay so maybe she hadn't really but it sure as hell felt like it to him! He took a step closer, his other arm coming up on the other side of her head, effectively trapping her against the wall. He prayed she wouldn't knee him in the groin. He'd teach her not to play with fire unless she was okay with being burnt.
"Congratulations, you did it" Now he pressed his body fully against hers, and a gasp escaped her mouth, her feline eyes widening at the feel of his body pressed so intimately against hers. His gaze dropped to her lips and he leaned down, and she pressed herself against the wall.
"Tommy" Her voice was a plea, for what he didn't know.
"Yeah?" He was so close now, he dragged his eyes up to meet hers.
"I…"
She didn't get any further until he pressed his lips against hers. He pulled back after a few seconds, she tried again to take a step back and turn her head to the side, but hishand on her jaw stepped her. His hand cradled her jaw with one hand, and then he kissed her again. He could feel her respond to the kiss, and her mouth opened to let his tongue in. Fire spread along his veins and he kissed her harder at the same time nudging her legs apart with one of his.
Feeling him hard against her made Eva shudder, and she slipped her arms around his neck, silently begging for more. The beep from the com made Tommy break the kiss, a harsh breath escaping his lips.
"Hello? Are you stuck?"
Sebastian. God bless him. God damn him.
"No" Good, he didn't sound as affected as he felt. "Eva and I just needed to talk about something, were coming up now". He pressed the button, and the elevator started moving.
Sebastians answering chuckle made Tommy want to ring his neck. He locked eyes with Eva, and reluctantly took a step back from her. Her eyes were wide, and he knew he had surprised her, served her right. Play with fire…
"You can't play with me as you would all your little boys hanging at your feet. If you keep pushing me" Now he stepped closer again, his blue eyes dark. "I'll finish it, you can be sure about that princess".
It was that last word, that word she hated. "I can hold my own" She met his gaze boldly.
His eyes slid down her body slowly, and then up again until he met her eyes, a smirk on his lips. "I could tell".
The door opened and he stepped back just as Dorn stepped in. He raised his eyebrows and them and they stepped out, Eva hurrying away.
"I don't want to know".
The doors slid shut.
More?
