Three Weeks Later

Faith sat in the van with Hardison, Sophie, Parker, and Eliot were in the building trying to catch the mark. "Ummm, guys the mark is leaving the building."

Watching him come towards the van, making a get-a-way, Faith made a split second decision. She hopped out of the van, walking towards the end of it. She could hear Eliot, telling her to get back in the van, through the coms. Ignoring him, she bumped into the mark.

"Excuse me, I'm so sorry!" She smiled sweetly at him. Disgusted inside for the things this man did, to the elderly and the confused. He looked her up and down, a smile appearing on his face.

"No, problem beautiful. Let me make it up to you by buying you dinner." Eliot was losing his mind over the coms, ordering Faith to get back in the van. He'd be out to take care of the mark in a minute. Faith continued to ignore, Eliot's demands.

"I'd love to." She looped her arm through his, letting him lead her. She heard Nate's voice telling her, she was doing great, that Eliot would be there to help her soon. To keep him distracted.

"What's your name? Not that I mind calling you beautify."

"Pagie Daniels, and you?"

"William Zane."

"It's nice to meet you William." They continued to walk, coming to stop in front of an apartment. "You are a naughty one, bringing to your apartment."

"I thought I could make you dinner." He smiled at her, his hand trailing up her back. She let out a shiver of disgust, but she masked it as pleasure. Biting her lip, she looked up ar him winking.

"Sounds like a plan." He opened the door, guiding her up stairs. "Damn it Faith Elizabeth Vance, when I get my hands on you, you'll be sorry!" She could tell Eliot was pissed as hell, he'd have to get over it.

"So what do you do for a living?" He asked, again looking her over. She let out a laugh, throwing back her head.

"I'm an entertainer." She winked at him. "The adult kind."

"Maybe you can give me a private show." She pushed him down in a chair, leaning over him.

"I can't think of a better time, then like the present!"

The ride back to the sage house was in tense and strained silence, Faith watched as Eliot gripped the steering wheel. He focused on the road, he wouldn't even look at her. Pulling into the garage, he pulled inside. Shutting off the truck, he dragged her from the truck, and up to the apartment. Pushing her down on the couch, he glared down at her.

"What the hell were you thinking?"

She stood up, glaring back at him. "Catching the mark! Helping out!"

"You endangered your life by going off with him alone! Then to go into his house, what the hell were you thinking?" He was breathing hard.

She smiled at him, letting out a laugh. "Trust me, I wasn't in any danger, especially when he thought he was going to get a free show!"

"He could have killed you! Damn it Faith, I'm trying to keep you safe and you go out and do something stupid."

Rolling her eyes, she looked at him, pushing him in a desk chair. "I'll show you exactly what I did!" She tied his arms to the chair, finding music on her phone, she started to dance around the chair. She sat on his lap, running her hands up and down his chest, her lips ghosting over his. Getting up, she stood a couple inches from him, undoing her dress, she dropped it on the floor.

Straddling his lap again, she kissed along his jaw line, she could feel him clinching it, she continued to kiss him, until she git ti his ear. Gently tugging the lobe with her teeth, she laughed as he growled. "Hmmmm, that's right! I knocked him out and never did any of to him."

She scooted off his lap, leaving him tired up, looking at his face, it was a mixture of anger and desire. She decided to leave him tied up, until, he calmed down. She picked up her dress, looking over her shoulder. "I'll untie you, once you've calmed down."

Walking towards the bedroom door, she heard him growl, and the ripping of fabric, she was scooped up. She was flipped around to face him. "While everyone else thinks you did a wonderful job, I'm tempted to take you over my knee!" Rolling her eyes, she glared at him, she struggled to pull away from him. Truth was, the past three weeks had been full of this sexually tension.

Maybe she should take all the feelings out of it, and just have a fling with him. It would be better then nothing, she was suddenly aware that she was only in her bra and panties. Their lips were just inches apart, she closed her eyes, waiting. "Tell me what you want! You pushed me away three weeks ago."

Wrapping her arms around his neck, her legs went around his waist. "I want you Eliot! Even if it's just for a short time, it's better then nothing!" He carried her to his bedroom.

Sophie smiled at the other three members. "He's so in love with her, it's not even funny. Did you hear and see how he reacted today?"

"She worried him, that was pretty reckless." Hardison replied, taking a drink of his orange soda. "He's just doing his job. Eliot is a bachelor, the man won't settle down."

Parker laughed. "You didn't see the look on his face when he thought she was stripping for him. He was coming unglued!"

Nate listened to the other three talking, he smiled, knowing that the hitter had already lost his heart to Faith. He just wondered if the man was smart enough to figure it out. Then there was Faith, she was hard to read, Nate couldn't tell where she was in all of this. His money was still on, that Faith wouldn't be leaving to go back when his job was over.

Nate was already making plans to include her as part of the team, she was a natural.
