* * * Lindsey * * *

He couldn't make this easier for her to come to terms with, unfortunately. All he could do was care and admit it to her, Lindsey wouldn't hide from her. He didn't have a reason to.

Of course he cared about his job, but wasn't there a specific reason? He saw her everyday, he worked with her. She seemed to be the answers to his problems.

Lindsey didn't want to hurt her, all he wanted was her to begin with.

He could only imagine how jealous she was of Darla, she'd made that clear earlier. It'd be a miracle if that woman hadn't wrecked his apartment already.

Lindsey lifted his hand up to caress her cheek, the warmth in the contact so arousing.

* * * Lilah * * *

A hand touched her cheek and it sent a cold sensation down her spine, he was so cold, but she could fix that.

This was what she had wanted and she was going to make the most of it. Her hands were grasping the front of his shirt like if she let go then he would run away. But now that she had him she wasn't going to let him leave, pulling him closer.

With her eyes closed she didn't notice his back edging to the corner of the desk, and in an action that almost seemed to slow motion then speed up in her mind, they fell from the desk. Lilah turned in the air so that she would hit the ground; self sacrifice? What was she doing? She didn't let her self think about it, come what may, she didn't need to explain her self. Lilah winced as her back hit hard on the floor, knocking the air out of her. But her hands still clenched tight around the silky fabric of his shirt.

* * * Lindsey * * *

Lindsey knew that would happen, he was actually counting on it.

He had sat back and let her do the work, but now it was his turn. Smirking devilishly, he took her need of breath as an opportunity. Lindsey kissed to her jaw line, then to her neck, and after pulling at her shirt, he trailed sensual kisses across her shoulders. He had his body pressed tightly against hers, sharing her body heat, like he'd said before, he'd prefer people like her in his bed, that was her hint.

Lindsey didn't exactly know when this feeling had started, but he knew it was stronger than it had ever been.

* * * Lilah * * *

She finally got her breath and then seemed to lose it again when he trailed kisses down her.

The buttons on her shirt were not cooperating quickly enough and she went to rip the fabric but stopped her self. Walking out of the office with her shirt ripped open was not a site that she wanted people seeing. So the shirt stayed hugged to her, trapping her from his skin.

Lindsey was warming against her, but she couldn't help with any part that was covered by cloth. Wanting to just close her eyes and be somewhere else, somewhere this was okay, where no one was around.

"Lindsey" she got in while her mouth was free. "Is work over yet?" asking almost like a child on a road trip who complains to their parents 'are we there yet?' Lilah wanted to be rid of this place and just be with him.

When they first kissed it had been exciting, the possibility of being caught, but she didn't care about that anymore, she didn't need that excitement she just needed him.

* * * Lindsey * * *

Lindsey abruptly stopped and paused, looking at her with his ice blue eyes filled with lust. He knew exactly why she was asking that, and even though he agreed that they should leave, he didn't want to distance himself from her.

Lindsey sat up with a sigh and a nod. "Yeah, only people here are the ones putting in over time." He couldn't help but chuckle at the choice of words.

He grabbed his keys from his jacket and straightened his tie. "You think you can keep your hands to yourself until we get to your place? I wouldn't want to crash or anything." Lindsey didn't really want to bring Darla back up and it wouldn't be wise to take Lilah to his apartment where an awaiting vampire would be. Lindsey had suggested her place since he didn't even want to put his home as an option.

* * * Lilah * * *

He sat up and she pulled herself up on her hands, looking at him. "You think you can keep your hands to yourself until we get to your place? I wouldn't want to crash or anything.
" Lilah listened and smirked, crawling over to him, on her knees. She sat on her heels and ran her fingers across his back seductively "I don't know, depends. If the payoff is worth the wait"

Lilah went to get up but didn't want too. She didn't want to even get up and walk across the room. So instead she reached inside her bra and grabbed a key from the under wire, looking up at him "You never know" Lilah explained the key's placement. No one could say she wasn't 'prepared' though.
