Okay fine maybe she was playing dirty, but a girl has needs! She was all for waiting and breaking old patterns and all that junk but Mindy also couldn't wait to get Danny alone. She had waited so long for this and now the man was going to deliver, dammit! She would make sure of it.
Mindy continued to get a rise out of Danny whenever she got the chance, tossing a wink his way when she was certain no one was looking, bending over to pick up her pen whenever he was in visual range (the Bend and Snap, works every time, ladies! Reese Witherspoon taught her that).
All in all she was enjoying herself far too much, when Danny finally dragged her into the mechanical room at lunch time.
"Danny, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Danny hissed. "We're at work, Mindy!"
"Hey, I haven't even touched you since I remembered that we're 'taking it slow'" Mindy feigned innocence.
Danny let out a shuddering sigh. "No more hare-brained schemes. It is not fun being on the other end of one of these!"
"Well it's up to you and all but you can change your stance on going slow any time you want to." Mindy shrugged. "I don't mind, I'm cool like that."
Danny's demeanour changed from frustrated to smug. "You want me."
"I what?" Oh no. There was no way he was turning this around on her.
Except now he had an almost-predatory look in his eyes and it was getting her all hot and bothered.
"You want me bad, Mindy Lahiri."
There was no point in denying it because as soon as he pushed her up against the wall her hands were already pulling him closer. Mindy threaded her fingers through the back of his hair, urging each kiss to deepen. Danny's hands glided effortlessly over her body, the need to memorize every curve growing stronger.
Their tongues grazed each other and the hot friction continued to build. Danny slipped one hand beneath Mindy's blouse, skimming the bottom of her bra. He could hear a soft moan reverberate from the depths of her throat.
That's when they both realized Taking It Slow wasn't going to cut it.
"My place? Eight o'clock?" Mindy panted out as they quickly broke apart.
"Sounds good." Danny attempted to agree nonchalantly but his mussed up hair gave him away. He nodded and briskly opened the door to leave and compose himself.
Now all Mindy had to do was get through the rest of the work day. It was going to be unbearable.
