"Hi 'lizbeth," John said brightly, setting a cup of coffee down on her desk that she gratefully took a sip from.
"John? What are you doing up?"
"Well, I was about to ask you the same thing," he replied lightly, taking his customary seat on her couch to the side of her desk.
"I had a report to write..."
He raised his eyebrows over the rim of his coffee mug. "At two in the morning?"
"...and I have a headache." Elizabeth looked back at her laptop, avoiding his knowing gaze. She barely noticed when he stood and set his mug on her desk until her chair was pulled back a bit and she felt gentle fingers start rubbing her neck. She couldn't help the sigh that escaped her lips.
"Not just your head, huh?"
"No." She just barely managed to keep her voice steady as his fingers drifted lower between her shoulder blades.
"John?" she asked a moment later, her voice slightly higher.
"Zelenka's crashed on a console outside. It's just us." His lips were right by her ear then ghosted to her temple and pressed a light kiss.
Elizabeth couldn't help but shiver.
John smiled against her skin, feeling it heat under his fingers. He moved them lower down her back and rubbed the knotted muscles he found, sending delicious jolts of pleasure down her spine.
Elizabeth let her head fall forward onto her desk, giving him access to the sore muscles of her lower back. He slowly rubbed the soreness out and her headache was forgotten as the feel of his fingers took precedence in her mind.
John suddenly stopped and Elizabeth had to bite back a moan at the loss.
He was walking to the door with his hands now in his pockets.
"John?" She called after him, hoping her voice didn't waver too much.
He turned back with a smirk on his face. "Well I think I just proved that Lucius is no longer influencing you. But I am."
The moment he was out of sight Elizabeth's head met her desk with a sigh.
