Chapter 1 - Goldfish and doors

"Goldfish?" Joshua Lyman looked up from behind his desk to see CJ Cregg standing in his doorway. "You told Danny Concanon that I like goldfish?" She asked him smiling as she leaned against the door frame. Josh shrugged and returned her smile.

"Well yeah. I told him you couldn't get enough of them" He pushed his chair back slightly and put his feet up onto his desk. CJ walked into his office after shutting the door and sat down in front of his desk.

"He thought you were talking about actual fish Josh, not the crackers" She watched as he tried to hold back a smile only to fail as he let out a full laugh. She laughed along with him.

"I was trying to help a fellow man woo his lady" CJ raised her eyebrows at his comment.

"You were helping him to 'woo' me?" She asked.

"Well yeah, he likes you CJ" He said smiling at her. CJ shook her head and laughed.

"Well he may like me Josh but you know it's never gonna happen" She picks up a pen from his desk and plays with it.

"Yeah I know" He stood up and moved around his desk to stand in front of CJ, he leaned against the edge of his desk and folded his arms across his chest. "So what did he do with my invaluable information?"

"He bought me a goldfish" She replied with a smile on her face. Josh nudged her leg with his.

"He bought you a fish? Next it will be marriage and a baby" He put on a dreamy voice "It's so romantic!" He laughed at his own joke and received a gentle slap on his arm from CJ. "What did he get in return?" He asked in a flirty tone. CJ shook her head at him and laughed a little.

"Josh!" She looked up at him from her seat, his expression full of mischief. She always found it difficult to keep things from this man. "A kiss on the cheek" Josh laughed.

"You really went all out on that one Claudia Jean" He moved to the chair next to CJ and sat down, taking the pen from her hands and placing it back on his desk.

"Are you jealous?" She asked in a sultry tone. Josh smiled at her.

"So what if I was?" CJ laughed and took hold of his hand. Josh watched her face as she stared intently at their hands. Josh shivered slight as she gently stroked his fingers with her other hand.

"All you have to do is ask Josh" She looked up into his eyes. Josh thought she might have been joking until he saw the lust in her eyes and he felt sure that she saw it reflected in his. Suddenly there was a knock on his door and Donna stuck her head in. Josh expected CJ to drop his hand but she didn't. She turned to Donna and smiled.

"Hey Donna"

"Hey CJ" Donna smiled at them both. "Sorry to interrupt but Carol's looking for you, something about Toby. I think it's important"

"Thanks Donna, I'll be right there" She said. Donna nodded and shut the door again. CJ turned to Josh who had been looking at her the whole time Donna was here. CJ smiled at him a little shyly, Josh reached up with his free hand and touched her face. "I have to go" She said to him.

"Yeah" neither of them moved. Suddenly CJ started to laugh and Josh started to panic. What was going on?

"Josh either ask me to kiss you or just do it yourself" That wasn't what he expected. He just stared at her, trying to will himself to kiss her. Why couldn't he move? CJ smiled and looked away, she let go of his hand and stood up. "You missed out Josh, I've been told I'm a really good kisser" CJ thought she had misread the emotion in his eyes and tried to make light of the situation. Just as she reached for the door that connected their offices he grabbed her arm. She turned to look at him and just as she was about to tell him that he didn't need to say anything he covered her lips with his.

CJ froze for a second before she opened her lips to him. One of Josh's hands came up to rest at the base of her neck as the other circled around her waist. He deepened the kiss as he pulled her closer, CJ's hands moved to grasp Josh's biceps. She moaned her pleasure as he pushed her up against the door, his hand moving into her hair. He pulled away from her and looked at her flushed face, waiting for her to open her eyes. She smiled and slowly opened her eyes to find him staring at her.

"Josh" She sighed and pressed her body into his. Josh pushed her harder against the door and he kissed her again. CJ pawed at his body and Josh pushed one of his legs between hers which she willing parted for him. His hands began to explore the body pressed against him, one reaching down to squeeze her ass while the other caressed her breast. CJ moaned into his mouth as he played with her nipple through her shirt. She ignored the warning sirens going though her head as she let her own hands wander over his body. She could feel his erection pushing into her stomach and she felt a sudden warmth pool between her legs. Josh's hands started to pull at her skirt and he felt himself harden even more than he thought possible as he realised she had worn thigh high stocking today. His fingers played with the lacy tops until he felt her grinding her hips into his, silently asking for more. Thoughts that they shouldn't be doing this rushed through Josh's head, he knew he should stop, that he should release her from his hold but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He liked the way she felt in his arms, the way she smelt and tasted. CJ lifted her legs around his hips as Josh lifted her slightly off the ground. He stopped kissing her and re-focused his attention on her neck. Kissing and nipping at the delicate skin there. He pushed his erection into her and wished they didn't haveso many clothes on. Josh sucked at a sensitive spot on her neck as one of his hands reached between them and lightly traced the edge of her panties. He growled when he felt her heat and almost came when he pushed his fingers into her wet centre. He was gentle with her, teasing her folds and avoided her clit wanting to prolong this moment. CJ groaned her frustration and placed one of her legs on the ground. She ground into him wanting more.

"Josh, please" She begged into his ear, pulling his lobe into her mouth, teasing him with her teeth. "Please Josh, I need… oh!" Josh pushed two fingers deeper inside her and rubbed her clit with his thumb. He pumped his fingers inside her, kissing her roughly, getting faster and harder. CJwas moving against him and he watched her face. He wanted to remember this, her slightly open mouth and closed eyes. Her flushed face and kiss swollen lips. He could feel her inner walls start to tremble around his fingers, he knew she was close. He went back to nipping her neck as he rubbed her sensitive nub harder. "Oh… Josh… Oh god…" He felt her body tense and her walls contract around him, he looked up to her face as her head rocked back against the door. "Josh!" She came hard into his hand and it shook her whole body. She was breathing heavily and when she opened her eyes to look at her friend she noticed he was smiling.

"God CJ, you're beautiful" He whispered and if she hadn't been so close to him she might have missed it. They stayed there for a moment, both looking into each others eyes. "Josh… take off your pants" He laughed a little at her bluntness and when he didn't move quick enough CJ pulled at his belt and started to pull down his zipper. Just as Josh had started to unbutton her shirt there was a knock at his door. Donna. She started to open the door without waiting for a reply and they jumped apart. Josh pushed hard against the door stopping Donna from coming in and CJ quickly slipped into her own office pulling the door closed behind her. Josh stood with his hand on the door for awhile.

"Josh?" Donna called from the other side. "Josh, Leo wants to see you in his office" She tried the handle again but he still didn't let her in. "Josh what are you…" She started to ask but he cut her off.

"Yeah I'll be right out Donna" He quickly did up his pants and re-adjusted his clothing. It suddenly hit him as he realised how close he had come to having sex with one of his closest friends in his office. How could he be so stupid! Yeah sure, he'd always had a thing for CJ but he never thought it possible that he would find himself in this situation. Shaking these thoughts from his mind he vowed to seek out the press secretary before the end of the day. They had some things to discuss. Smoothing down his hair he grabbed some files off his desk and took a few breaths before opening the door. Ignoring Donna's questioning stare he walked to Leo's office.

CJ's Office

CJ quickly closed the door behind her and leaned against it. "Oh my god" she closed her eyes and willed her heart to stop beating so fast. "Oh my god" She brought her hands up to cover her face. What had she been thinking? How could she be so stupid? She had just been seconds away from having sex with Josh Lyman in his office. In the White House! She shook her head in disbelief and pushed away from the door, she started rearranging her underwear as Carol walked into her office.

"Boss, Toby asked me to…" Carol looked at her boss and her mouth fell open. "CJ what happened to…" CJ pulled her skirt down quickly and started to fasten the buttons of her shirt. She glared at Carol.

"Shut the door" It came out sharp and Carol did as she asked without question.

"Are you ok? God CJ your neck is really red and it looks bruised" Carol tooka few steps towards her fully taking in the other woman's appearance. "Why are you…?" She stopped talking as realisation washed over her. "Oh my god, CJ…"

"Just don't Carol, don't…" CJ sighed heavily. How could she be so foolish? "Please don't breathe a word of this…" Carol shook her head.

"CJ you don't need to say that. I won't say anything" CJ looked at her assistant and forced herself to calm down.

"I know. I'm sorry Carol, I just…" Carol stopped her. She knew her boss was a private person and she knew that if CJ told her anything personal that she would regret it later, so Carol interrupted her words.

"You have a polar neck sweater out here that you can wear and it will cover up the marks so you won't get any questions. And I'll bring my mirror in for you" Carol turned on the spot and headed out to her office. CJ flopped down in one of the chairs in front of her desk. She lowered her head into her hands and she couldn't help but think of Josh. Of his hands and his mouth and what they were seconds away from doing. Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard Toby's voice outside the door.

"Is she in?" He asked Carol.

"Yeah but she's changing, she spilt something on her shirt" CJ sent a prayer of thanks to who ever it was that had sent her Carol.

"Ok, have her stop by my office when she's done" He said.

"Sure" Carol waited for him to walk away then slipped back into CJ's office with the sweater and mirror. She handed them to CJ and headed back to her office.

"Carol?" Carol turned to look at her boss, her features had softened and she wore a small smile. "Thank you" Carol smiled back at her.

"I've always got your back Boss" She said as she stepped out the door.

"Yes you have" She whispered to the empty room. Thinking for the millionth time how she would be lost without her assistant to get her through the day. She quickly changed her top and re-applied her make-up. And after running a brush through her hair returned the mirror to Carol. As CJpassed her assistant on her way over to Toby's office she gently squeezed her shoulder as one final silent thank you. Carol laughed a little to herself. She'd give anything to know who it was that had rattled her boss's cage.
