For aunik

He glared as he entered the tiny computer filled room better known as the home of Quantico's Oracle.

Of course at this point it was hard to see the computers or anything else around all the flowers, teddy bears, and boxes of chocolates that had arrived throughout the day.

"This is ridiculous," he said before he could stop himself.

"What is sweetness?" she asked and spun around to smile at him, "Oh! All the gifts from my i secret admirer /i " she whispered the word and giggled, "Maybe a little extreme, but still sweet."

"Dangerous is more like it."

Her brow crinckled, "Sweetie, they're just flowers, expensive flowers, but just flowers."

"Flowers and chocolates and bears that could have bugs in them, someone could be trying to gain access to your computers, did you even think of that?"

"Gosh, no, I didn't," she stuck her tongue out at him, "After what happened last time I've tripled my security….and," she said when he tried to interrupt her, "When these arrived they were all scanned. There is nothing in them. When I go home tonight, they come with me, so there's really no need to worry. Or is there some other reason you're bothered by them?" The question was almost a dare, with just a touch of hope on the end.

"No, I'm sure you were careful. Sorry."

Her face fell just slightly before she could stop it, then she plastered on a huge smile, "No worries, darling. So did you need something, or did you just come down to grace me with your gorgeousness?"

He smiled for the first time since he'd entered the room, "Just wanted to check on you."

"Well, thanks, sugar, but as you can see I'm fine."

"Okay," he said, "I better," he gestured toward the door and she nodded. He left and she shook her head slightly in irritation, turning back to her computers. She swung back a second later when she heard his voice.

"What if I was bothered?"'

"What?"

"What if I was bothered by you getting all of this? By you having a secret admirer, and not in the worried about you way?"

She was struck silent, possibly for the first time in her life, and took several deep breaths before she said, "Well, I'm not sure you really have the right to be bothered."

He nodded and then leaned down and gently kissed her, his lips pressed against hers until her own opened on a gasp. He slid his tongue inside her mouth and deepened the kiss for one long moment before he pulled back.

"So, do I have a right to be bothered now?" he asked.

She was dazed as she looked up at him, "It's a…..good start." She managed to smirk at him, "You can be a little bothered." He smiled at her, a smile that made his eyes light up.

"Well, I'll have to keep working on it," he said s and once again captured her still smirking lips with his.

If she ever found out who her secret admirer was she was going to send i him /i flowers. Huge giant bouquets of flowers.

Then she'd tell him she was totally and completely taken.
