"Charles? "That is insane. How did you do that?" Moira murmured in surprise, frowning at seeing the man, who had been just less than a second ago in front of the door and now, suddenly was right in front of her.
"I altered what your beautiful mind thought you saw." He explained with a charming smile, his fingers still pressed on his temple and Moira felt herself blushing while staring at his smile and, his blue eyes that shone at their proximity and she took a deep breath, trying to control her body and mind, knowing he could be reading them.
The room seemed too hot suddenly with their chests raising and falling, brushing with their accelerated breath and Moira felt her face flush even more while she realized their proximity too, both feeling the others scent and warmth, only inches apart and she closed her eyes for a moment, trying to focus on what she should do and not in what she wanted.
"Look, I know you can read my mind, what I want to do and what I should do. This is my job, Charles." She told him seriously, crossing her arms over her chest, breaking the contact of their bodies and he quickly said:
"Understandable, and I want you to know that I completely respect your decisi-" He tried to explain, not wanting her to misunderstand his actions, after all, he'd never found a woman like her, who understood him, challenged him, she was beautiful and with a fantastic mind. But she interrupted him, still serious, raising an eyebrow:
"Read my mind now."
"I'd rather read your lips."
And Moira shook her head slightly, leading him out of her bedroom and then, to Charles' disappointment, she closed the door with him outside and she leaned her back against it, closing her eyes and massaging her forehead, feeling that she might have been a little too hard on him.
Charles sighed, shaking his head and staring at the door, where he knew Moira had her back against, but he tried not to read her thoughts, at last more than he already had done, both because he knew it'd only drive her away from him as because he knew it'd be wrong, reading this intimate thoughts, so Charles walked away, wishing he'd given her a more serious impression of himself to her.
She had to admit that she was attracted to Charles Xavier, the mutant that could read minds, he was truly gentle, fought for what was right and, he was handsome and charming, but the problem was that, for what she'd seen in the first night they had met at the bar, he didn't have serious relationships, he went from one woman to another so she didn't want to get romantically involved with him and, run the risk of falling in love with him. She already had many problems to deal with, like the CIA and, the fact that she was from there, Charles being a mutant and then Shawn and his thoughts of a better world, she didn't need to get involved into something that could go badly wrong.
Both Moira and Charles felt like there were monsters stuck in their heads, messing everything.
In the following afternoon, while Charles was training Hank, Alex and Sean, Moira was in the library of the mansion, reading some folds from her surveillance nights at the Hell's Fire, trying to keep her mind busy, so she wouldn't think about the previous night.
Sighing, she leaned her face against her hands, closing her eyes for a moment when then, someone stopped behind her chair, asking:
"Is everything alright... agent Moira Mactaggert?" She raised her head, turning and seeing Erik, raising an eyebrow to her, handing her a mug with coffee then.
"Yeah... Thanks Erik." She murmured in surprise, before accepting the mug and she gave a sip, while he stayed in place, staring at her with an odd look and Moira felt her body tense with their proximity, after all Erik barely talked with her and, different from Charles's thoughts and ideals, he didn't have much esteem for the humans because of what had happened to him during the WWII.
"I saw Charles leaving your room last night... Problems in paradise?"
"That's none of your business Erik." Moira told him slowly, staring at him serious, while putting the mug over the table, raising from her chair than and staying face to face with Erik, their bodies only inches apart and Erik opened a small smile, seeming smug. The stress ans tension between them seemed to release sparks.
"You seem stressed..." And, with his voice lower, he promised: "We don't like each other, but we need to release some stress and... I won't break your heart with that."
And Moira's eyes widened, staring at Erik's face, so closer to hers and thinking about his odd proposal. Was he really suggesting that? Her heart started to beat faster, not in the way it's do when Charles was near, but with the idea of accepting his proposal and then maybe, she'd manage to keep her mind away from Charles and, they would be releasing all the stress through sex.
So the agent leaned her hands over the table behind her as if inviting Erik and he bend his head, kissing her lips with intensity.
Moira's hands went to the front of his shirt, grabbing at it while he pressed her body against the table, parting her lips and she started to release some frustration in the kiss, biting at his lip and the man gripped her waist harder, both knowing that they would need a more private place soon.
But the moment was interrupted when they heard some noise at the library's door and Moira turned her face to the side, breaking the kiss to look at the door, while Erik kept holding her and her brown eyes widened, seeing Charles froze at the door seeming embarrassed, his blue eyes looking sad while he stared at the scene in front of him, but he opened a small smile of resignation, seeing that Moira was opening her mouth to say something, seeming a little down and she left Erik's arms, but Charles quickly said:
"Er, I'm sorry for interrupting..." And then he turned back and left the library.
