Baker's Dozen Story #5

All Yours (Unresolved Sexual Tension Fic-AU)

Michonne mindlessly twirled her pen between her fingers as a steady flow of meeting attendees filed into the spacious conference room. She poked at her phone on the table and glanced at the time. She sighed, irritated that the next wasted hour could have been addressed in a carefully worded email.

"Is this seat taken?"

Startled, she looked up, her lips parting as she took in the stranger. Athletic build, nicely dressed, tamed curls, blue eyes, and a smile that made her stomach flutter. He was gorgeous.

She swallowed thickly before gesturing toward the empty chair. "It's all yours."

Assuming he would slide the chair out and move it next to the pretty brunette batting her eyelashes at him, she was surprised when he plopped down with a sigh. She narrowed her eyes in uncertainty as he opened his small notepad and clicked his pen. He looked up at her with another butterfly-inducing smile.

"Thank you."

She nodded slightly in acknowledgement, turning her attention back to her own notepad. In her experience, striking up conversations with people at meetings usually resulted in small talk which was more painful than the meeting itself.

But when she raised her eyes to glance at the stranger, she knew talking was the last thing on his mind. He stared at her with a look she could only describe as ravenous.

He unapologetically smirked. She inhaled deeply, her nervous stomach flip flopping.

This certainly beat the hell out of an email.
