Shane smiled when he heard the small moan get caught in the back of her throat. He was right in thinking that she wanted it just as much as he did. Pulling back, he left his hand along the side of her cheek and smiled.
"That was nice." Tania finally admitted, a slight blush forming on her face.
"I don't think nice begins to describe it." Shane laughed, finding his eyes drawn right back to her lips. They were so tempting and kissable, Shane couldn't help himself. So he kissed her again.
This time Tania wrapped her hands around Shane's neck to pull him closer. She knew that in a way it was wrong to feel the way she did. He was her boss after all. But that wasn't about to stop Tania from enjoying the moment. Her night had been crazy enough as is, so why the hell not.
Tania deepened the kiss, her fingers brushing through the hair on the back of his head. The touch of his fingertips against the side of her face and hand on her thigh were driving her crazy. Shane was a very attractive man, and she knew she had won the lottery to be in the situation that she was.
She felt his hand start to move up slightly, inching along the bareness of her mid-drift when a voice startled the two of them. "What the hell is going on here!"

"I'm not Shane…I wouldn't know."
"I don't think Tania's the type of girl to give into him quite so easily." Randy sighed. That's what he kept telling himself, because the last thing he wanted was the mental picture of Shane and Tania making somewhere in the building. "Most women can see through Shane's charms to see the real man behind it all."
"I hope you're right Randy." Dave sighed.
Rolling his eyes, Randy wanted to change the subject. Dwelling on what was happening with Shane and Tania was going to drive him crazy if he spent anymore time on it. "So have you and Lilian figured out where you are going for your vacation yet?"
"She wants to go back to Scotland. I guess the last time we were there she fell in love with the land. But you know how it is with the company. The moment we land we have work to do. Anything we get to see is usually from the window of a bus."
"Ain't that the truth." Randy couldn't count the number of places he wanted to go back and visit on two hands.
Dave chuckled, then caught something down the hall. "Hey, what's going on between you and Stacey."
"Nothing. I just wish I could get her to see that…why?"
Dave gestured to what he had been looking at and Randy's eyes followed his line of sight down the hall. Almost at once his jaw fell to the ground in seeing what Dave had. Stacey was coming down the hall towards them wearing the Randy Wear tank top and underwear.
"Hi Randy!" He groaned at the way her voice seemed so bubbly even from that far away. After he had been scripted to save her from Hunter's pedigree she hadn't left him alone. It was almost disgusting the way that she would throw herself at him.
"Stacey."
"I was thinking about wearing this for the bra and panties pillow fight tonight against Trish. What do you think?" The way she was twisting her hair, batting her eyelashes at him. It made Randy want to throw up all over her designer shirt.
Randy shrugged in response. "More publicity for me. Do what you want."
"Do you mean that?" Stacey asked, her voice rising up with the sentence ending.
"Not like I own you." Randy looked over at Dave who was trying to contain his laughter. He apparently thought that this was a funny, which it clearly wasn't. He wondered how the situation would change if it had been Dave that Stacey suddenly decided to lust over.
"Well then, I guess that means it is alright if I do this." Walking over to Randy, Stacey stood up on her tip toes and crashed her lips against his. Randy forced himself to pull back, a look of disgust suddenly appearing on his face. "See you later."
"Like hell you will." Randy muttered under his breath as she walked away back down the hall. Glancing up, he watched as Dave wiped the tears away from his eyes. "What's so funny."
Dave tried to calm himself down enough to shake his head. "Shall I put you out of your misery now or later?"
"Next time she even steps within a foot radius of me, do me a favour. Pull the trigger."
"On your or her?"
Randy snorted. "Take your pick."

"Can I help you with something, Copeland?" Shane spat, clearly not pleased with their sudden interruption.
"I'll just come back when you not so…occupied." Adam gave in. Clearly he had come in at a bad time. "Oh, and by the way Tania. If you've got to sleep your way to the top to get on television…I feel sorry for you."
Tania growled. "How dare you! You don't even know me."
"Hunny, I don't have to know a slut to realize one when I see her."
When Shane felt Tania go to stand up from the couch, he grabbed her hand to pull her back down. "I'll talk to you when you're in a more civilized mood Adam. But until then, I suggest you leave."
"Don't have to tell me twice."
Hearing the door slam, Tania let her head fall into her hands. "This is a ray of fucking sunshine, now isn't it?" She swore under her breath. She wondered how long that little rumour would take to spread around. She knew how the technicians loved to hear all the latest backstage drama. She wondered how fast they'd be on it if they knew it involved one of their own.
"Don't worry about him. The guy's an ass anyhow. As long as we know the truth who gives a fuck what Adam wants to think. I don't regret what happened and neither should you."
"What do you care Shane? You live your life with a ton of rumours going around dealing with you and your family. I, on the other hand, am not so accustomed to it." Tania argued, still not actually raising her head to look at him.
Letting his hand rub along her back, Shane couldn't' understand it. So what if Adam walked in on them kissing? If he got his way, a lot more people were going to see it in the none too distant future. "I still have a job to do come tomorrow. If people find out about this, I know they will be talking. How can I face all those people knowing…?"
"Look. I'm going to drop a few papers off with my sister. How about you just relax here and try to calm yourself down okay? It will be a little easier if I'm not here."
"How so?"
"Because if I stay in the room much longer, I'm not going to be able to resist the urge to kiss you anymore." Shane finally saw a small smile push at the corner of her mouth. It had been a long night for Tania to begin with it, Shane knew that much. She'd probably be better off with a little time of her own.
"Just make sure you come back."
"You have my word."
Devil on the Run: OMG! He did! Guess what! Shane kissed her again too!
Deceptive-Innocence: Now where would be the fun in telling you who the triangle consisted of? You'll just have to read to find out!
LyLTiArApRiNcEsS: Not quite Randy who walked in…but what damage will Adam do?
Stacey: I decided not to go with Randy…and yes. I promise that dinner will be interesting.
