An Office Kiss
Claire scoffed into Jack's office, annoyed once again with his procedure in court. She was beginning to count the amount of times that Jack stepped over the line in court. It was getting frustrating. The scoffing into his office just added to much deserved and well put down frustration. Claire shot Jack a look and focused her attention on the pen he was toying with in his right hand. Her look of frustration captured his attention. "Claire?" he asked, noticing the change in her usual quiet demeanor, "what's the matter?"
"You are, you insufferable maniac. I can't believe what you did in there!" Her eyes were gleaming with anger and annoyance at the same time.
"Whoa there, slow down. What did I do?" His eyes asked the question that she was prepared to answer.
"You talked to that judge so improperly it was sickening. Do you even realize what you did?"
"No," he said truthfully. "She needed honesty and I gave it to her. It's all part of the process."
"What is Jack? You acting like a maniac in the courtroom? That's not part of the process."
"What is Claire?"
"How about not acting like one of those defendants trying to pursue an insanity defense? That makes a whole world of sense."
"I'm shocked at you."
Claire stared at him with a heated and exhausted expression. But she pursued the argument. "That makes no sense what you did. You never curse out a judge in chambers. If it'd been the courtroom, you'd have been held for contempt. Have you no shame?"
"No," he replied honestly, "I don't."
"Tell me why you don't, you...you...you imbecile!"
Jack strode up to her, sizing up her much smaller frame. Claire began to breathe a little more heavily. Her cheeks became flushed and she could feel the touch of his body spreading to the tips of her own fingers and toes. She could even feel him boring into the depths of her heart.
Jack seized her body and pulled it to him. He planted a kiss right on her lips. He searched them hungrily, the hunger becoming a battle of emotions playing in the skin. She could feel him pressing his body up to her. Her lips were mingling with his. Their breath was shared. She could feel the heat of his face sear her skin with desire.
When air became a necessity, she pulled back, blushing a deep shade of mauve. "No shame," she whispered.
"I told you I didn't have any shame."
Claire stood their for a moment, still blushing. "I've wanted to do that for a while now."
Jack smiled. "So did I."
Claire grinned shyly and pulled herself toward him to kiss him once again.
