chapter4
Cenred was woken up by the sound of a loud ringing in his ear. He brought his hand to his eyes and groaned. The phone rang again and the man reached blindly behind him until he felt the device. He pulled it in front of his face and blinked sleepily at the unknown number. The phone rang again and Cenred felt a soft tap on his bare chest. He looked down to see a naked Merlin with his eyes shut on top of him.
"..Phone.."
Cenred had to suppress a laugh. "I got it, Love." He brought the phone to his ear. "Hello?"
"Where are you?"
Cenred blinked confused. "How did you get this number?"
"I'm your boss; It's y job to get all information on my workers."
"What are you doing?" Arthur repeated. "Because you sure as hell aren't at work."
Cenred frowned and leaned up on his elbows. "That's because I get out at 4 o clock."
"Not when I specifically left a note on your desk telling you I needed you to stay three extra hours!"
Merlin took a deep breath and his sleepy eyes fluttered open and trailed straight towards the phone in Cenred's hands. Merlin frowned and leaned up so his lips were on Cenred's neck placing gentle kisses.
"Ah... I'm sorry? I didn't see a note on my desk..." He trailed, unsure of his new boss' response.
Arthur scoffed. "Do you know how many of my workers tried that on me? They're all looking for jobs now. Do you want to join them?"
"No! No.. I really need the job. I just..."
Merlin stopped his kissing and stared at his lover with confused narrowed brows. He opened his mouth to ask what was going on, but Cenred brought three gentle fingers over his lips as Arthur finished with...
"Then I want you at work an hour early tomorrow. You'll be staying hours late, and you won't be leaving until we have the million dollar account."
The phone was hung and Cenred pulled the phone away from his ear frowning down at it.
Merlin pulled himself up until he was on his elbows. "What is it?" He whispered.
Cenred shook his head once then reached out and lay the phone on the coffee table. "Arthur Pendragon just threatened to fire me."
Merlin's brows narrowed into anger. "What!" He hissed disbelieving.
Cenred shook his head again. "He stated that he went and sent me a note on my desk asking me to stay late. But there's one problem."
Merlin blinked. "What is that?"
Cenred stared into Merlin's sky blue orbs. "I was in my office all day. There is no way he could have gone in and left me a note because I even spent my lunch hour doing paper work."
Merlin leaned closer. "So he lied." He stated. Merlin shook his head confused. "But...why?"
Cenred reached out and soothed his large hand over Merlin's small, pale cheek. "I'm not sure. But I am sure about one thing..."
"What's that?"
"The way you're staring at me now, you have me hot."
Merlin rolled his eyes playfully and laughed.
Cenred brought a finger up. "Hold that thought." He jumped off the couch, making Merlin giggle when he fell sideways.
"Hold what thought!" Merlin called out as Cenred ran into the kitchen. Merlin heard the soft sound of the fridge open then close, and a second later Cenred appeared with a bowl of fruit and...
Merlin chuckled. "Chocolate syrup?"
Cenred wiggled his brows once. "Mm." He hummed as he squirt the bottle of syrup on the strawberry carelessly, again making Merlin giggled then gasp.
"No, the couch...!" He sighed with a smile as he tried to wipe at the mess of chocolate on the blue couch.
Cenred pushed his hand away. "Leave it." He was on his knees now, with the soaked in chocolate strawberry making its way to Merlin's lips. Merlin's tongue flicked out swirling over the plump strawberry. He hummed at the sweet taste. Just when Merlin was going to take a gentle bite, Cenred teasingly pulled the strawberry away an inch from his lover's mouth before smiling while rubbing the fruit over Merlin's pale pink lips.
Cenred moaned low in his throat and leaned forward placing his lips gently on Merlin's. He pulled away only slightly, smiling. "I like eating chocolate this way better."
Merlin chuckled lovingly.
XOXOXOXO
THE NEXT DAY
Merlin held on to the folder in his hand as he walked inside the large building. Once inside, he scanned through the office until he saw Cenred sitting down at one of the many desks rummaging through of files and looking very frustrated, Merlin smiled quickly made his way over.
When he reached his lover from behind, Merlin reached his hand in front of Cenred's face and whispered in his ear. "Looking for this?"
Cenred literally flinched.. But when he saw the brown folder, he smiled wide. "Yes! Merlin, my love, my life saver!"
Merlin's pink lips stretched into a smile as Cenred snatched the file and opened it with a wide smile. Cenred exhaled a relieved breath before he realized Merlin was still standing there. Cenred's eyes trailed up.
"Thank you, love."
Merlin hummed and leaned on the desk. "You can thank me with lunch. Aren't you off for a break in 20 minutes?"
Cenred nodded. "I'll take you on that offer." He smiled and lay the file on his desk. "I'm so happy you found it." His eyes trailed across the room. "Mr. Pendragon has been on my case since I told him I misplaced it."
Merlin looked across the room. "That's what happens when you bring your work home."
Cenred shook his head. "He made me do it."
Merlin laughed at the man's pout. "You're adorable." He sent a quick and soft kiss to Cenred's reddish lips. "Lunch?"
"Sounds good. Where are you going?" A voice said before Cenred could reply.
Merlin pulled away and forced a smile. A smile that quickly faded at seeing Arthur.
"I know a great place." The blond glanced at Cenred. "We can discuss the Ellen's account. They'll be back in a couple of days... Have you found the files?"
Cenred pull out his hand with the file Merlin brought in it.
"Ah! Yes. Well... If only we were all lucky enough to have husbands who walk all the way to our jobs when we make mistakes, isn't that right." The blond turned. "Meet me at the caffe around the corner in ten minutes." With that, he walked away.
Merlin's eyes trailed down to Cenred in his seat. "What a prat." He snarled low, making Cenred laugh out.
