There was something strange about the situation, even under the circumstances. Neo couldn't help but stop and watch, his eyes studying her body as he leant against the doorframe. He took in everything about her; how her trousers hanging loosely to her hips deeply contrasted with the skin-tight tank top. Most of all though was her hair, tied back in a ponytail which was falling out as she continued to exercise.
Her muscles flexed as she pulled herself up to the bar on the ceiling once more.
Feeling someone else's presence she dropped down, turning quickly to see Neo in the doorway, a firm smile printed on his face.
She raised her eyebrows at him, asking sceptically, "What are you smirking at?"
"I'm not smirking," he argued, "I'm smiling." He moved from the doorway, walking towards her, leaving enough space between them for sparks of electricity to sizzle back and forth.
"Fine," she humped, her hands falling to her hips, "What are you smiling at?"
"You look cute with your hair tied back," his grin grew as the indignant look formed on her face.
"Don't push your luck," she snarled warningly, trying to turn away from him. He stopped her, grabbing her wrist lightly and pulling her back to him. Their bodies brushed together, sending a shiver of shock through them both and a sharp gasp at the close contact.
His lips fell carefully on hers, chastely testing her. She responded positively, sucking on his lower lip with a light nibble, drawing him further into the kiss.
"You should really keep your hair like that…maybe try bunches," he joked, keeping a serious face.
"Maybe I should check that your old room's still available and have you put on detention for attempting to seduce a superior," Trinity countered.
"What do you mean 'attempting'?" he replied cockily, pressing his lips back to hers. His hands rested on her hips, pulling her impossibly closer, massaging her tiny waist.
"I'm on duty," she protested weakly, "Morpheus could call for me at any moment."
He shook his head in disagreement, "We have this evening off together."
"Hmmm," she hummed, teasing him playfully, "There's a lot of things we could do in a whole evening. We could actually get round to clearing the mess you've made of my quarters, or maybe I could take the opportunity for a well deserved undisturbed sleep."
"Maybe you could close the door," Link suggested sarcastically from the doorway.
Neo moved away from Trinity, blushing heavily as they both looked at the operator expectantly. Link raised his eyebrows at the couple, but continued anyway, "Trinity, Morpheus needs a word with you."
"Thanks, Link," Trinity nodded softly, watching their operator walking away.
She saw Neo's disappointed look and couldn't help but smile sadly. "I'll be back soon, try and get some rest."
"I'll wait up for you," he told her. He shrugged his tops off, muttering, "Arms up."
She gave him a weird look, but raised her arms anyway. Carefully he helped her into his tops, pulling her quickly into a hug before letting her go. "I don't want you to be cold."
"Thank you," she smiled gratefully, glancing back at him as she left the room.
When she returned, Neo was lying awake on the bed, having now removed his boots and his trousers, leaving him in just his boxers.
She grinned as she shut the door behind her, piling her clothes next to his before sinking down onto the bed next to him. She stroked his hair back from his face, leaning over him to kiss his forehead lightly.
"What did Morpheus want?" Neo asked, looking up wide-eyed at Trinity, drinking her image in.
"It doesn't matter now," she hushed him, continuing to caress his face lovingly, pressing her lips to every available patch of skin. "We have the rest of the evening off…together."
"So we will have time to tidy up?" Neo mimicked her suggestion from earlier.
"Later, I have other plans for you first," she smiled seductively.
Reviews are greatly appreciated, thank you,
