Clarke and Lexa woke up a mess of limbs wrapped around each other and a horrible waling coming from the corner of the room. Lexa hastily dislodged herself from Clarke and went to find the offending noise.

An angry groan came from the bed where Clarke had managed to pull the pillow over her head.

"Nooooooo…." Clarke moaned as Lexa turned on the shower. "Come back…" she said sadly from the confines of the warm bed.

Lexa chuckled and went in to steal kisses on the blonde's pale skin.

"Yes, please. More of that." Clarke smiled and moaned.

"If we do more of that, we will be horribly late for our meetings."

Another angry groan escaped the blonde.

"Or you can join me in the shower for a quick good morning pick me up."

Clarke's eyebrows shot up and she confidently strode to the shower giving the other woman a beautiful show of naked flesh.

Shaking her head with a giant smile plastered on her face, Lexa stepped behind Clarke in the shower and began to kiss down her neck, letting the water cascade them both.

"Nah, ah! My turn." Clarke said, turning around and hooking her hands behind the other woman's neck.

Lexa smiled and allowed the blonde control.

The blonde gave a yelp as she sat on the cold shower bench and began to kiss down the other woman's stomach. She smoothly lifted up Lexa's right leg and casually draped it over her shoulder. With one last look into Lexa's green eyes, Clarke began to lightly kiss her thigh and massage her behind.

The small light touches and purposeful kisses was infuriating Lexa and she found herself lightly gripping Clarke's hair trying to guide her to her center. But Clarke was patient and was determined to take her time.

After a frustrated groan, Clarke's kisses found her way to Lexa's center. A guttural moan followed and Clarke knew she was in the right spot. One hand stayed in Clarke's hair while the other braced herself on the wall. It wasn't long until Lexa was getting close. Her grip on Clarke's hair was getting tighter and her legs were getting weaker.

When Lexa thought she couldn't take anymore, Clarke curled one finger her all the while licking and sucking on her center. It was too much to handle. Lexa's eyes were beginning to roll back. With one final flick of her finger, Lexa came strongly.

Stumbling slightly from the force, Clarke steadied Lexa by firmly grabbing her hips and leg, whispering, "I've got you."

It was almost too much for Lexa to handle, 'Where had Clarke come from?'

Clarke left to go get changed shortly thereafter with a searing kiss and nonchalant goodbye.

After cleaning up and wiping the totally inappropriate smile off of her face, she headed downstairs to meet Ryder. 'Today was going to be a good day, no matter how horrible this next meeting is.'

Walking into the meeting was the same as yesterday. Corporations liked routines – something she'd noticed after working for Trikru over the years.

She sat next to the Manager from South America, Gustus, and was almost positively sunny with her, "Good morning!"

"Well you're in a good mood today, aren't you Clarke?" He asked, chuckling awkwardly. "Must not have heard the news have you?"

"What news?" Clarke asked, eyebrows furrowed.

He seemed taken aback, "That the DC business unit is being sold off."

Clarke felt bile begin to rise as her heart dropped. She deftly heard herself ask, "What?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry I thought you knew. We are selling that business unit because we need capital for some of our larger European ventures."

At that, Lexa walked into the room and announced it was time to get started. She cast a glance at Clarke and gave her a brief smile not noticing her pale complexion.

Interrupting another manager who had started a presentation on local outreach programs, she said, "Lexa, we need to talk." And began her trek out of the room without waiting for a response.

Once located in a smaller office adjacent to the conference room, Lexa began. "Clarke that was highly unprofessional. You can't just demand me to leave a meeting. I'm your boss when we-"

Clarke cut her off, "When were you going to tell me that you had decided to sell the DC business unit."

Lexa's face dropped and she turned away, "Shit."

"So you did know!" Clarke practically yelled.

Turning back towards the angry blonde, "Clarke-"

"Unbelievable! Why am I even here?" Clarke's eyes were full of fire and rage.

"Clarke, let me explain-"

"What is going to happen to those people? My friends! The place where I've called home now for years!"

"They will likely go with the merger." Lexa's voice was small and calm. She'd collected herself and allowed her corporate side to come out.

"And me? What happens to me?" Clarke's voice was shaky with unshed angry tears.

"You will be relocated to another office in North America where you will continue to act as the general manager of operations for North America."

"Un-fucking-believable." Clarke was incredulous. "How long have you known about this? How long have you been planning this?"

Lexa sighed, this was not how she planned for this conversation to go. Truthfully she didn't know how it would go and just hoped that it would be delayed for as long as possible.

"Clarke-"

"How. Long." Clarke's voice was fire now. Enunciating every syllable clearly.

Lexa squared her shoulders and looked firmly at the blonde, "Over a year"

"What the fuck, Lexa!"

"Clarke, it's not personal. It's not because of anything you did or didn't do. It is strictly a business decision. The corporation needs cash to fund some investments in other parts of the world. This is just how business works sometimes."

"Don't fucking lecture me on business, Lexa. This is total bullshit and you know it. My people work hard and have been for decades and now they are getting screwed. How long do we have until we are out on our asses?"

"Clarke, it's not like that. We just started the process and have made it part of the decision package that the Trikru employees will get either get a sizable severance package or that they will retain the employees for at least 3 years with no pay cut. You colleagues will be well taken care of."

"And I just leave them? Off to do great things with a corporation that abandons their people." Clarke turned her back to Lexa, swiping angrily at tears that were falling freely now.

After a few moments Clarke turned fully toward Lexa, a cold look in her eye, "I'm not leaving them."

"W-w-what? That was not the plan, Clarke."

"Tough shit. Those are my people and I'm staying there. Figure it out."

"We don't want to lose you."

"We?" Clarke felt her heart slam shut, "Wrong choice of words Lexa."

"Clarke."

"Goodbye Lexa. Don't talk to me unless you've got more info on when we're being sold off like cattle." With that she made her way out of the room.

"Clarke-"

Clarke opened the conference room and called out for Ryder. He immediately followed giving a quick glance to Lexa who was regaining her composure in the small room.

"We're leaving."

All Ryder could do was nod and try to stay out of the angry wave that followed Clarke.
