For the Win

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Harvey grips the highlighter in his hand circling the page strewn open on his desk as Donna's gaze bores into him. There's a million reasons why she could be sat there but the fact she sauntered in tells him it isn't an emergency. Well, it's not going to be a game of cat and mouse either.

Unless someone really is dying- he has work to do.

"Something you wanted?"

His tone breezes across casually, neither short or snappy and she rolls her shoulders back relaxing into the chair. "Nope."

She pops the 'p' but he keeps his eyes level with words he's trying to read. "Donna."

This time she does recognize the warning but it doesn't deter her. "Yes." She smiles sweetly, catching his gaze as it flicks up.

He draws to her mouth, the ever-so-slight pout on her freshly painted lips making his determination falter. He'd like nothing more than to take her home, ravish her senseless until she can't remember the meaning of the word smug but unfortunately that's going to have to wait. "Okay, as cute as this is... I have a ton of work to get through."

"I can see." She tilts her head toward the piles littering his usually pristine desk which in his defense is organised chaos compared to Louis' office. They've all been under the gun this week, exactly why they need to relax and have a little fun.

He watches her fold a leg over one knee, hiking up the edge of her dress, and he swallows urging himself not to be undone by the move. "I'm going to be at least an hour."

Judging by his current workload more but she keeps the thought to herself playing along for appearances sake. She's already won but he still needs to figure that out and it does him good to be humbled every once in a while. "I can wait."

A sigh presses at his lips, the glint in her eyes making him wary. She's up to something but whatever it is it won't get the brief in his hand finished. "What you can do, is stop being a distraction."

"Oh, you think this is being distracting?" She teases, uncrossing her leg and sitting up straighter. She hasn't even started turning on the charm and lifts herself up, towering in seven-inch high stilettos.

The red ones that she knows drive him crazy.

He catches the color out of his peripheral but keeps his attention focused, re-reading the same line over as she perches on corner beside him. If it were a battle of wills he'd be half-tempted to give in but the document he's preparing can't wait. "Donna..."

"Harvey." She parrots back, watching his chest puff with a slow intake of air. It's a further sign he can't indulge her but his tone is more defeated than it is frustrated.

"I have to get this proofed for tomorrow's nine-o'clock."

It's fair reasoning or at least would have been an hour ago but as usual, she knows something he doesn't, and lightly pushes down the paper in his hand. "No you don't." His gaze lifts in confusion and she reaches over taking the highlighter from him and capping the lid. "They called to reschedule."

He tries not to register his surprise, tentative hope fluttering in his chest as he leans back reading the amusement in her carefully crafted expression. "When?"

"Fifteen minutes ago." She confirms, a smile splitting her composure as the realization dawns on him.

"That's why you came in here." He swivels with a shake of his head. She's been playing him and he fell for it hook, line and sinker but the way her lips wrap around the yellow marker makes him forget his pride and everything else work related stacked up around them. "You know, the rest of this stuff can probably wait."

"Mmmm-hmm... that's what I figured." She stops her dalliance with the highlighter, smiling as he rolls forward landing his palm over her knee with a boyish grin.

"Then what are we waiting for?" He tempts her with a light caress and if he had his way it would mean they ended up staying a lot later than he originally intended but she's more of a stickler for office conduct than he is, removing his hand with a smirk.

"For you to figure out it's time to leave." She slides off the desk before he can catch her again, intent on keeping her win untainted- at least until they get home. Then he can settle the score however he pleases and she might even do some highlighting of her own.

Just to make sure he's extra thorough.
