You Don't Even Know How To Fight

He would never have thought himself capable of it, but god, had he done it. Rafael had ended things with Annie. Cases involving parental abuse always broke him a little. The one he was in the middle of was an especially disgusting one. Because of work, he had neglected her. She had been busy with her life too. Two weeks of minimum to no contact, Rafael decided the best thing to do was to break up. He liked Annie. Was a little in love with that feisty bibliophile. Hence he believed she deserved someone who would make her the center of his world. Rafael just wasn't the right man, curse his luck.
"Carmen, coffee, please", he said into the receiver.
Work was his refuge that day. He had left a voice message for Annie the night before, letting her know why it was best they didn't date anymore. She had been on his mind every moment since. He missed that reckless laugh, the way she said his name.
"Ma'm, you can't..."
"Save it, kid. I'm his girlfriend"
The door was flung open. Rafael signaled to a bewildered Carmen to get back to her work. Annie stood, arms akimbo, in his office door.

"Have a seat", he said.
In answer, Annie shut the door behind her and turned the lock. She placed her hands on the metal desk, jaw clenched.
"Do you know what a dick move it is to break up over voicemail?"
"I did it because I couldn't do it to your face"
"No, Rafael. You did it because you didn't have the balls to do it to my face"
His mouth opened for words, but stayed so when Annie started unbuttoning her coat. She was fumbling with the buttons, adorable in her fury.
"I'm just going to show you what you lost"
Off came the coat. Rafael's breath didn't return for a long moment. She was wearing his favorite color. The crimson blouse was tucked into a sharp pencil skirt. The deep V-neck allowed a peek at the lacy black bra she was wearing. As if that wasn't enough, she bent over sideways to pick up nothing.
"Oh. What's that?", her expression was amusing, "That's right. Annie has a great ass!"
"Yes, she does. But..."
"Don't you dare enjoy this", she straightened up, "You should be suffering right now"
'If you only knew', he thought.
Rafael rose from his chair and came to her. Annie walked backwards, swatting at his hand.
"Don't touch me. If you do, I'm gonna calm down. So no! What were you thinking, Rafael? Did it not occur to your genius lawyer mind to ask me how I felt about us? This wasn't a solo relationship, something one has in the shower with themselves, and I doubt you have time for that either"
"It did occur to me that I was making the decision for us but face it. I'm no good for you"
"I'm supposed to be the judge of that!"
"Annie, I work 18 hours a day! Sometimes more", his tone softened, "Believe me when I say that I would spend every other second of my time with you if I could. But it's just not fair. You deserve more than a workaholic"
Annie raised a finger to aid her explanation,
"I work long hours too. And I bring my work home every day. That doesn't stop me from having a normal life. And last week excluded, it was going great! A single text from you was a major reminder that I had something other than my books to look forward to. I didn't mind when you cancelled our last two dates. And I didn't mind when you called me up at 1 that night just because you wanted to hear my voice. Even though you fell asleep mid-conversation"
The reminiscent smile was hurriedly replaced by a scowl. Annie pouted and scowled at once.
"What I did mind was you making me think this was going somewhere. I'm 36. I have no time to fool around or wait for a man to come to his senses"
She headed for the door but turned back midway.
"And I'm great in bed! But now you'll never know it"
"Jesus", Rafael smiled.
"Excuse me?", Annie frowned.
"You are so sweet you don't even know how to fight"
The 'sweet' comment would have made things simpler but it was his small chuckle that did him in. Annie asked,
"Is that so?"
She lifted the crystal pen stand from his desk and crashed it on the floor. From her jutting lower lip, Rafael knew how well Tidy Annie was controlling her cleaning up instincts. He sighed,
"Great. You happy now?"
The paperweight was the next thing to go. Rafael glared at her, but it only egged her on. Annie leaned forth and with a sweep of her arms threw all his stuff off the table.
"That's enough"
"Is it?", she taunted, "But isn't this what people do in a fight? They throw shit!"
"You're acting like a crazy ex-girlfriend"
"That's what you wanted!", she stood in his way, "One moment, I'm too naive to know how to fight and now I'm crazy? What do you want me to do, Rafael?!"
He watched the flushed cheeks, the heaving chest, the wild eyes and that delectable mouth.

'Mm. So soft. Peach-y. Tasty'
Annie slapped him. It was then he realized he had grabbed her waist and kissed her. His cheek was stinging but it was nothing compared to the fright in her eyes.
"Oh Raf, I'm so sorry", she touched his face, whimpering.
Drawn in by her charm again, Rafael kissed her a second time. This kiss was fervent, fierce. It was an invasion of her defenses. Annie gripping his shoulders only fueled his desire. He wished to possess her. Make love to her so that she could never be with another man without thinking of him first. She felt so good in his hands - soft, ample, fragrant.
"Rafael..."
Her words hung in the air as he kissed her throat. Fisting his hand in Annie's hair, he elicited a squeal from her by nibbling on her collarbone. All of his stress, all of his despair had at once transformed into longing for the woman in his arms. He kissed her breast, feeling her mad heartbeat under his lips. His hand worked at the buttons of her blouse, while he kept kissing every inch of skin being revealed.
"My God, you're so beautiful"
This he said right before taking her breast into his mouth. Annie moaned his name in vain; hearing it gave him a raging erection. While his mouth landed on her navel, his hand caressed her pantyhose clad mound. She was soaking wet.

Wasting no further time, Rafael lifted her with his hands alone and placed her on his desk. Annie's beauty had heightened in his eyes as she lay before him panting. He struggled with his own breathing.
"Annie... if you want me to..."
"Don't stop", she said.
Smirking, Rafael pulled her by the thighs towards his pelvis. He unzipped and saw Annie trying to get a glimpse of it. When her eyes widened, he slid into her. She was like velvet. But oh so tight. The moment he began moving within her, she shut her eyes and groaned. Rafael doubled his speed and effort. It made her moans only louder.
"Hush", he tried.
"Raf...", it was all she could say.
"You're so beautiful", he whispered, "I could look at you all day"
Annie placed her arm across her naked breasts with modesty, and a hand on her mouth to stifle another groan. Rafael felt her contract around his member. He lifted a climaxing Annie and carried her to the couch, never pulling out of her. He was kissing her face now as he lay on top of her, into her. His thrusts were frantic and deeper now.
"Oh no", Annie hid her face with her hands.
She came again, triggering Rafael's own release. He pulled out quick and came all over her thigh. Her eyes looked up into his. He kissed her even before he could catch his breath.

Annie said not a word while he cleaned her up. She had only told him there were tissues in her purse. Rafael used them to wipe her thigh clean. She had been sitting unbuttoned all that while. Naturally, Rafael took his sweet time buttoning her up again. He fetched her coat from the chair and put it around her shoulders. His hands passed from the belt on the coat to her hips.
"I'm glad you came by"
Annie nodded,
"Me too"
With one hand still on her waist, he reached into his pocket and handed her the key to his place.
"Wait up for me. I'll bring the dinner", he warned, "And you better be naked when I come in"
Looking up from the key to him, Annie asked,
"Do you want me to light candles and stuff? You know how terrible I am with matches"
He shook his head, grinning,
"Just your gorgeous self will suffice"
"Okay", she smiled.
He kissed her smiling lips, unable to help himself. Annie stepped out of his arms radiant and happy.
"See you in the evening", she said, revolving the key chain around her finger.
"Yeah"
Annie emerged smiling out of the office, to Carmen's prolonged surprise, and headed to her boyfriend's place for the evening.
