Thank you for reading! I know this show doesn't have a large following but I really like Ray.
"I need something concert Ray!" Lee yelled in his whiny tone through the phone just before Ray could hang up. The deposition was that afternoon and Ray still hadn't herd from Ensley. He was on his way to his office, and pissed. Lee had called six times already that morning. He only answered the once and that was more than enough for him.
He knew he needed something before that meeting. Lena hadn't come up with anything, and he was quickly losing faith in Ensley's ability. She'd been so cocky, sure of herself. He groaned wishing he had just taken care of this himself.
Walking past Lena's office he spoke. "Where the hell is she?" In his office he poured a drink and took the bottle and sat down. He looked up as Lena and Avy walked in. "Where the hell is she?" He repeated himself.
"I don't know." Lena shrugged.
"Find her, get her ass in here." He was fuming. Completely over the games, she was going to take the money, he was going to make her, and they were done. His phone rang again. "Yeah?"
"The deposition is in two hours, where the fuck..." Lee raged and Ray hung up on him again.
Before anyone could say anything they all turned when they herd the front door open. Ensley walked past Avy and Lena without saying a word and sat down on Ray's couch. Ray nodded to the others, motioning for them to leave, and they did. He stood, walking to the door he shut it then returned to his desk. "So?" He was pissed and did little to hide that from her.
"So." Ensley exhaled long and slow.
Ray shifted in his seat. He was growing weary of this back and fourth game she was playing with him. "Do you have something for me or not?" He was ready to jump over the desk and shove the money into her pocket.
"Do I have something for you?" She stood and walked to his desk, pulling a file out from under her sweatshirt. She tossed it on his desk then stood there and crossed her arms. She watched as Ray opened the file and began to look through the papers. "She's pregnant, the baby's not his." She smirked.
Ray looked up from the papers to see that smirk displayed proudly across her face. "How'd you get this?"
"Does it matter?" She huffed and shook her head before she went back to the couch.
He picked up the file and walked out of the office. She sat there watching him. He was wearing dark jeans, a black shirt and a jacket. He looked good. He was quick, walking into Lena's office then back out. Lena and Avy leaving quickly after their chat with Ray. He came back into his office and kneeled down to open his safe. Taking money out and setting it on his desk before leaning against the front of it looking at her.
As she sat there as the very real realization slowly sank in that they were alone. Lena and Avy were gone, it wasn't like anyone was going to walk in off the street. "Tell me how you got that." He finally spoke and she was thankful as her mind was about to wonder off.
"You don't strike me as the kind of person who cares how the job gets done, as long as it gets done." She watched nervously as he looked her over. His eyes washed over her like a wave taking her breath away.
"I don't like secrets, they cause trouble." He crossed his arms.
She chuckled as she pulled her foot up and rested her chin on her knee. "Your entire business is built on lies."
Ray poured himself a drink and walked to the couch. She took a deep breath and held it waiting for him to sit next to her. He sat resting his arms out on his knees holding his glass in his right hand. Ensley looked ahead. This was the closest the two of them had been since she'd kneed him in the crotch.
He wondered what to do with her. She'd gotten the job done, she wouldn't tell him how, but she got it done none the less. Tipping back his glass he finished his drink in one swig before standing up. He looked at the wad of cash and handed it to her. She stood and took the money from him sliding into her back pocket.
The two stood there for a moment just looking at one another. "We eye fucking each other again?" He asked.
Ensley smiled when he did. "If you wanna call it that, sure." She turned away from him and walked toward the door. "I'm gonna go." It was strange, but she was at a loss for words. "I'll see you in the morning." She turned one last time and flashed that smirk before walking out of sight.
The following morning a call made Ray leave the house early. A client managed to find himself in a hotel with hooker and pimp demanding a lot more than originally agreed upon. He got to the hotel and dealt with it. But like every other five am wake up call it didn't go as smoothly as he would have liked.
Walking into the office at eight he flopped on his couch. Laying his head back he closed his eyes and just breathed. When he herd someone walk into his office he opened his eyes to see Ensley standing there. Same gray sweatshirt and torn jeans. She leaned against the door jam and looked at him as she ate some sort of wrap. "Rough morning?" She asked in between bites.
Ray groaned. If only she knew. She walked in and tossed the wrapper in the trash before standing in front of him. He stayed still looking at her as she moved closer to him. Huffing she looked down at him and his blood stained shirt. Turning she got his chair and scooted it out from behind the desk, stopping to get a bottle of scotch.
She sat in the chair and moved until she was positioned between his legs. He raised his head and looked at her. "You gonna let me take care of that?"
"Lena has stuff in her office." He pointed toward her office. He watched as she stood up and walked to Lena's office and back. He couldn't take his eyes off her as she sat back down in his chair and pulled her sleeves up. Leaning up he started to pull his jacket off. Growling with each movement.
Ensley leaned forward to help him get the jacket off. Her face only inches from his. She could smell him, intoxicating. Ray tossed the jacket over the arm of the couch. He watched her hands as they began to unbutton his shirt. He stayed still allowing her to work he way through every button. Leaning forward again she helped him remove his shirt.
Leaning back in the chair she looked at him as he sat there shirtless. He had two long gashes across his chest just above his mothers name. "Eye fucking?" His voice broke her train of thought.
"You might need stitches." She looked in his eyes.
"Just clean me up." He raised an eyebrow and smiled at her.
Taking clean gauze in her hand she pressed them against his chest and slowly poured the scotch over the wound. He winched as the the liquid touched the open cut. "Don't be such a baby." She rolled her eyes and shook her head. Leaning closer she blew on his chest. As her breath danced across his skin he could feel his body reacting in a way that she would surely notice. "Better?"
Ray nodded yes trying to control his body. She took more gauze and dried the wounds before she got butterfly band aids. She used two on each cut, pulling the skin tight, and closing the wound. Each time she touched him he could feel his pants getting tighter and tighter. Finally she cover the wound with clean gauze and tape.
Sitting back in the chair still resting her hand on his knee. "Done." She looked at her work with pride. "I really think you should have gotten stitches, but it will work."
He put his hand on top of hers thanking her with his eyes. She shrugged slightly before she tried to stand. Wrapping his hand around her wrist he pulled her toward him. His lips met hers with force as he tangled his other hand in her hair. Pulling her as tightly to him as he could.
Her hands were on his thighs as she leaned into the kiss. His tongue danced across hers, almost overpowering. She moaned softly into his mouth, overcome with desire. She slowly ran her hands from his thighs up her stomach and chest till she reached his face. He grabbed her hips and began pulling her toward her. "Wait, wait..." She stopped him, pulling back just enough that they were no longer kissing but she was still resting her forehead against his. He reached up, putting his hand on the back of her head he tried to pull her back him. This wasn't over for him, no in the least.
Ensley knew she was losing will power. Before she could react the front door opened. She jumped away from his grasp. Ray looked down the hall as Lena and Avy walked toward him. Sitting there on the couch still shirtless he turned back to Ensley as she hurried to busy herself cleaning up.
"You okay boss?" Avy asked when he entered the office.
"Yea, I'm okay." He winked at Ensley as she threw stuff away. She felt their eyes on her and made an excuse to leave. He watched her walk away thinking that maybe he'd made a mistake. Pushed her somewhere she didn't want to go. Women didn't usually say no to him. She just kept him spinning.
