Notes: A very small reference to Yesterday. Blink and you'll miss it.

This is a small chapter and maybe a little filler but the next one will be longer and fuller. Promise. :)


Previously:

This was fun. I'll see you at work, Bobby."

"Uh yeah it was hot, Eames." He stared at her with a silly grin and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Yeah, well don't get used to it."

"We should, uh, do it again some time." He shot her pleading eyes and bit at his lip. She shook her head and smiled.

"One time, Goren and this is bordering on talking about it." With that, she turned and walked out the door.

Of course that didn't last long.

Work, post coital, was work. They managed to slip seamlessly into their work personas and focus on getting things done without any real problems. Eames smiled smugly to herself at how well they got passed that awkward stage that comes with having sex with a work colleague. The only setback which she didn't classify as a setback was when she caught him smiling a knowing smile or staring at her breasts. He had this cocksure confidence about him and would use it to push the boundaries.

"Seriously Goren, stop staring." He was hooked. Knowing what Eames looked like naked or the faces she made in pleasure, just kept him mesmerized during the day when he allowed his mind to wander. He would replay it over and over and Eames knew exactly what he was thinking and that made it hotter for him. Their secret that no one was privy to.

"What?"

She waved her fingers in front of his face to take him out of his daze."Stop" she mouthed. He just smiled in her direction. He just mouthed back "Why?" or "No." Goren was light and playful around with her. Other times he would approach her when he knew she was in the zone doing paperwork and sneak behind her and whisper things like, "What are you doing later?" "Morning gorgeous" or run his hand discreetly against her arm or leg. He would tease her incessantly and adamant that they hook up again. Eventually, Eames gave in. She hadn't intended for their one night stand to turn into a repeat affair, but his confidence soared after that encounter and with it and his seduction. She enjoyed him. That coupled with the fact that they actually continued to work well together in spite of them hooking up was a good incentive for her. It wasn't messy and they both were great at compartmentalizing and keeping emotions out of it.

They had fooled around a couple times more but kept it casual. Usually when they would have sex, it would always always start flirtatious and light in their interactions. Goren always seeing how far he could push her before she would swat his hand away or how long before he got her worked up without the people around them knowing anything. They had fun together. She loved when he was in a good mood and drinking. He was charming and had a confidence about him that was absent when he was brooding and self critical. He would make her laugh and try to sneakily order her more drinks. "You trying to get me drunk, Bobby?"

"So what if I am."

She would run her hands down his arm before saying, "We have work tomorrow."

"So," he would respond. Eames would look at him with a playful are you serious glance. Goren smiled and said, "What? It's not like you're an early bird. So you arrive a little later than usual. I'd cover for you so you'd have nothing to worry about. We're having fun, and I would very much like to keep having fun, wouldn't you?" He shot her a playful mischievous look and then a boyish smile.

"If you're trying to get me drunk to have your way with me, you're going to have to try harder than that. I'm not that easy to get," she teased him.

"Oh you know me, I always love a challenge." He proffered with a smirk and a wink. Then, he would lean real close to her and begin whispering things in her ear. "By the way, you look absolutely stunning in that dress. It's taking every bit of self control not to think about getting you out of it and running my hands all over your body. It's not working though because you're breath-taking and I'm-I'm breathless."

"Goren, your charm will get you nowhere with me."

"I'm nothing if not a man of action and I'm not lying." Then with the most sincerest eyes, he added "You do look incredible." She would always feign like his words, breath and fingers pushing her hair out her face had no effect on her, but internally she was so turned on by him. Confidence looked good on him. She couldn't help it when he was in those good moods even if she did fight him on it at first. She had to save face, and she wasn't about to admit that he had any bit of control over her. That was part of their game. All the teasing made the sex much more incredible. Once the flirting started, the game was set. Who was going to make who give in first?

She would play with the hem of her dress; giving him just enough view of her legs and tease him by getting him so focused on the little details. Sometimes, he made it too easy since his mind always worked against him. He couldn't help but want to take her in, and the little details never escaped him. The smile on her face and the way his eyes seemed to travel up at tortuously slow pace as she lifted the fabric. The way her legs looked so smooth and tan. She would toss little one liners here and there. "I don't know, Goren, if that's a challenge you could easily handle." Or "Hmm I heard that there's this thing people do…" lowering her voice and allowing it to trail just enough that he'd want to close the distance. That was something she picked up from a suspect that proved very useful in times like these. She would laugh flirtatiously, bringing her face close to his without touching him. The use of his last name which in turn was bringing up a taboo of forbidden-ness that they both shouldn't be doing this, and it excited him more, and she knew this.

By the time they made it to one of their homes, they were struggling to make it behind closed doors before they began passionately attacking each other. Clothes be damned sometimes working around keeping most of their clothes on if they couldn't wait. They definitely had chemistry. That was undeniable. But when it came to making it more than just a hookup, well they had too much going on for them to make a relationship work. They also had the job. So they kept it casual and didn't speak of it afterwards. It worked for them.
