The rest of the day passed fairly uneventfully for both the senior partner and the faux associate. Once Mike was able to refocus the blood from his crotch to his brain, he sent Rachel and Donna a text simply thanking them. Of course both women had replied ravenous for details but Mike decided to let them wonder on their own. After all, he still wasn't one hundred percent sure of what exactly had happened himself. All he knew was that he had an aching need for Harvey and he could potentially have the opportunity to ease it tonight.

Mike buried himself in the ever growing stack of files on his desk, determined to get it all done and handed over to Louis by 6 so that he could run home and shower before he made his way to Harvey's. He couldn't help but wonder in the back of his mind just what he was thinking. Never in his life had he been attracted to a man; especially not as intensely as he was towards Harvey. And now that he actually thought about it, he had never been so affected by anyone…not even Jenny or Rachel. Sure Harvey was an attractive man, no; scratch that, an unbelievably sexy male specimen. But he had been around plenty of attractive men in his life and he hadn't had indecent thoughts about a damn one of them.

'They aren't Harvey dumbass. No one challenges you like he does. No one is as infuriatingly cocky. And no one wears a suit that well.'

Mike grinned as his own mind scolded him for not realizing the obvious. It didn't matter if Harvey was a man or a woman. What mattered was that he made Mike feel alive in a way he never thought was possible. Even when he was dodging the police with a briefcase full of weed, his heart didn't really start pounding for the first time that day until the moment he walked in to Harvey's interview room. He should have known right then and there that his entire life was going to be turned upside down.

Mike continued to space out as he finished up his work for Louis. He was the last one left in the bullpen when his phone vibrated from its spot on his desk.

You still coming over? –H

Mike's eyes flashed to the clock on the wall. Panic set in as he realized the ticking hands read 6:45.

"Shit!" Mike shot up out of his chair, flung his messenger bag over his shoulder, grabbed the stack of files and took off down the hall towards Louis' office. He dumped them unceremoniously on to the new senior partner's desk and booked it for the elevator. Thankfully it was on his floor when he hit the down button so he easily slid inside and pressed the button for the ground floor. Mike unlocked his phone and quickly replied to Harvey.

Dude, I'm so sorry I lost track of time proofing those god damn files for Louis. Give me till 7:30 to get showered and changed and I'll be there. –M

Harvey's reply was nearly instantaneous.

Ah, never mind then. I see you'd rather spend the night with Louis. See you Monday morning. –H

Mike felt his heart drop through the floor of the elevator. His fingers fumbled as he tried to think of a reply. He had typed and erased three messages before it vibrated in his hands again.

Calm down kid I was just kidding. I'm not letting you go so easily. Ray is waiting for you outside. If you are that insistent about a shower you can just take one here. –H

A heavy breath escaped Mike's lungs as the elevator doors opened and he walked in to the lobby. He couldn't help the grin that played on his lips.

You're gonna pay for that one later Harvey. You nearly gave me a heart attack. –M

He hurried outside and was met with the site of Ray standing beside the back passenger door of the town car. The smile the driver gave him when he opened Mike's door was blinding.

"Good evening Mr. Ross." Ray nodded to him. Mike smiled back and got in to the car, the door shutting behind him. The drive to Harvey's penthouse felt like it took forever, but when the car finally pulled up outside his building, Mike's nervousness took hold.

"We're here Mr. Ross." Ray called from the driver's seat. Mike cleared his throat and opened the door.

"Right. Thanks Ray, I really appreciate it." Mike stood and shut the car door behind him, staring up at the tower as Ray drove away. He urged himself forward, his mind going a million miles a minute. He walked in to the lobby and straight in to the elevator, pushing the button for the top floor. Once the doors closed he leaned against the back wall and let his eyes fall shut. Every single possible scenario for the remainder of the evening flashed behind his eye lids. Most of them ending with Harvey throwing him out on his ass for saying or doing something wrong. When the doors opened, Mike walked forward one measured step at a time. He stopped once he was facing the wooden door that lead to Harvey's penthouse. Mike brought his fist up to knock and quickly held it back, covering his mouth with it as he turned around and began pacing a few steps down the hallway. Why was this so nerve racking? Oh, that's right, he was about to have the equivalent of a date night with his boss. Except, now he was more than just his boss. Ever since Grammy's funeral he had become more of a friend than he had ever expected. And now, since that amazing first kiss in his office, they were possibly so much more. And Jesus Christ did that scare him. He could lose everything if this, whatever it was, didn't work out. But Mike realized then that he owed it to himself, he owed it to the man on the other side of that door to at least knock and see where the night took them.

Just as he turned to knock again, the door was flung open and he was greeted with Harvey's cocky smirk. Mike couldn't help but stare as his eyes took in the abnormally casual man in front of him. Harvey was wearing a tight black t-shirt and loose pair of grey sweats that hung off his hips in an absolutely delicious way.

"Look, I know you can be easily distracted sometimes but will you please stop ogling me and get in here? Don't need the neighbors to talk." The amusement in his voice shown in his eyes making him look ten times younger then he normally did at the office. He reached out and closed his hand around Mike's wrist and tugged him forward in to his chest, shutting the door behind him. Once it clicked in to place, he had Mike backed up against it and his mouth was suddenly invading his associate's.

Mike was thoroughly surprised by the abruptness of the kiss but it took him less than a second to respond. He flung his arms around Harvey's defined shoulders and pulled him tighter against him. His tongue darted out to meet the older man's in what was fast becoming their usual battle for dominance. Mike almost lost it when Harvey picked up Mike's leg and wrapped it around his waist, causing their groins to rub together in painful bliss. Suddenly Harvey's hands were under Mike's shirt, his fingertips leaving scalding trails across his abs in their wake. With his control slowly slipping in to the hands of this absolutely intoxicating man, Mike fought against it, trying to regain some semblance of rationality.

"Harvey. Stop. Please." He rasped out between kisses. Harvey pulled back slightly and looked down at Mike with hooded eyes, his chest heaving in an effort to catch his breath.

"But you really don't mean that do you Mike?" His voice was so shockingly seductive Mike almost gave in. Again. Mike shook his head and let out a breathy laugh.

"I think maybe we should talk…you know…like you said earlier when you invited me over?" He braced himself for Fort Harvey to close its gates to him the minute he said the word 'talk'. And to Mike's dismay, he saw it start to happen. Harvey dropped Mike's leg and took a step back, his eyes slowly becoming guarded. But what happened next Mike would remember forever. Harvey closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head. The younger man could practically see the war raging inside his gorgeous head. Harvey clenched and unclenched his fists and finally, after what felt like an hour, opened his eyes to look at Mike, who had to lean back against the door again to keep his knees from buckling. Those brilliant brown eyes were filled with the closest thing to love Mike had ever seen, and he knew in that moment that he had gotten Harvey to fight off his innate nature of keeping everyone out. Harvey, who was notorious for having slew after slew of one night stands to keep people at a distance, who absolutely refused to admit that he cared for anyone until today.

Harvey smiled at Mike and held his hand out to him.

"How about we order that pizza and pick a movie? We have plenty of time to talk. Right now I just kinda want to unwind from this past week." Mike took his hand and allowed himself to be pulled further in to the stark white and chrome penthouse. The view out the solid wall of windows was breathtaking and he stopped and stared for a few moments before he felt Harvey let go of his hand. He watched Harvey's finely muscled body plop down on his couch and grab the remote to the TV.

"So what are you in the mood for? There is a bunch of new shit that just hit OnDemand." Deciding not to push his luck with the talking, Mike took his suit jacket and tie off and rolled up his sleeves. He sat down next to Harvey and was pleasantly surprised when he felt a strong arm wrap around his shoulders and pull him closer.

"Eh, all that new crap looks like…crap. I'm more in the mood for a classic." He felt Harvey's head turn and Mike looked at him.

"Seriously? You'd rather watch a movie you've seen a million times and have had memorized since the first?" Harvey's tone was playful and Mike rolled his eyes.

"Fine, fine. I was just kidding." Mike grabbed the remote from Harvey and began scrolling through the endless list of shitty movies.

"Kidding? How am I meant to know you're kidding? You're breaking my fucking balls." Harvey's words set Mike off in a fit of laughter.

"Nice choice. Goodfellas it is then." Mike made quick work of searching for the movie and hitting play. He brought his knees up and tucked his feet underneath him, leaning his head on Harvey's shoulder. It felt amazing to be in his arms like this. Who knew something that happened this fast would feel this right?

Harvey ran his hand up and down Mike's shoulder, drawing lazy circles on the nape of his neck giving him goose bumps. Mike rested his hand on Harvey's thigh and began mimicking the same patterns, causing the older man to squirm a bit. They sat like that idly teasing each other and half focused on the movie until one of Mike's favorite lines came up. He mocked Karen's voice and spoke the words in time with the movie.

"I know there are women, like my best friends, who would have gotten out of there the minute their boyfriend gave them a gun to hide. But I didn't. I got to admit the truth. It turned me on."

Harvey's body tensed beneath him and Mike turned his face up to meet his eyes. The pure lust he saw there left him breathless. Harvey leaned his face in until their noses were touching.

"Do you still have the need to talk right this very moment?" The huskiness of his voice sent a thrill through Mike, who again found that words failed him so he shook his head quickly, indicating he had no interest in talking what so ever unless it involved encouragement to strip.

As soon as Mike's head moved Harvey pulled him in to his lap and kissed him hard. He made sure Mike's legs were locked tightly around him as he stood and walked them both down the hallway and in to his bedroom, where he deposited Mike on the bed and yanked his shirt off. Mike leaned up on his elbows to take in the breathtaking sight before him. He knew Harvey worked out but nothing in the world could have prepared him for just how beautiful the man looked sans shirt.

"You have too much clothing on Michael." Harvey's tone to a mild scolding edge, to which Mike grinned and sat up, pulling on the buttons of his dress shirt. His cock was straining against his zipper painfully so he made quick work of his belt and dropped his pants as well.

"You're so fucking gorgeous." Harvey whispered almost too softly to hear. Mike leaned forward and tugged on the waist band of the grey sweats, slowly letting them fall to the floor. Mike's breath caught in his throat.

"You're one to talk." Mike yanked Harvey to him and crushed their lips together as they fell back on to the bed, Harvey's lithe body covering his. Mike inched his hand down and circled it around both his and Harvey's cocks and stroked gently upwards. Harvey inhaled sharply and kissed his way along Mike's jaw and to his ear.

"I really don't want our first time to be rushed but if you keep doing that I'm going to fucking lose it." Mike chuckled, stroking one last time, and pulled his hand up to cup Harvey cheek.

"I wouldn't be far behind you. Besides, I think we're past rushing at this point Harvey. I'm ready when you are." Mike couldn't help but laugh when Harvey practically scrambled to the bedside table, looking as uncoordinated as ever. When he sat back between Mike's legs with a bottle of lube in his hand, the reality of the situation finally sunk in for the both of them. This was really going to happen. Harvey stroked his cock, lubing it in the process. He tossed the bottle to the side and leaned back over Mike, resting right at his entrance. They looked in to each other's eyes, searching for any sign that either one of them didn't want this.

"Are you sure?" Harvey's voice was soft, and if Mike didn't know him so well he would have missed the hint of desperation behind the question. Mike raised both hands to Harvey's cheeks and pulled him in to a scorching kiss. He pulled back a second later.

"I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life." And with that, Harvey rocked his hips forward and slowly made them one. Mike winced at the initial pain, but quickly succumbed to the pleasure that was Harvey being inside him. After painstakingly taking his time so as not to hurt Mike too much, Harvey's length was finally fully sheathed and he locked his eyes back with Mike's. They sat still for a moment, both adjusting to all of the brand new sensations. Mike tilted his head up and caught Harvey's lips with his own. Harvey grasped both of Mike's hands, entwining their fingers and resting them on either side of his head while completely surrendering to their kiss. They both let out a low moan as Harvey started to move his hips, slowly at first and then gradually picking up the speed to long, deep strokes, hitting Mike's prostate every single time. It wasn't long before they both cried out in release, the sounds muffled by the other's lips.

After collapsing on top of Mike, Harvey slipped out and let out a chuckled when Mike whined at the loss of him. He brought his head back up and stared down at his new found lover. The pure, unadulterated emotion that ran through him had his eyes brimming with tears which he quickly blinked away. He cleared his throat and gently rolled them over so that Harvey was on his back and Mike's head rested in the crook of his neck.

"What are your plans for the rest of the weekend?" Harvey asked, praying the answer was none.

"Well I was going to spend it either locked in my apartment or at the office clocking in some over time. You see, I have this real hardass for a boss…" He trailed off as Harvey squeezed him closer to him.

"I guess I'll just have to have a talk with said hardass and let him know you aren't allowed to leave my bed for the next two days."

"Well that's just gross. We're gonna need to shower at some point. And talk." Mike shot back, a small grin on his lips as he buried his face in to Harvey's chest.

"Ugh. Go to sleep Mike."

"Only if you promise we'll talk in the morning." Harvey let out a long sigh and was quiet for a while, leaving Mike to fear that the walls were being reconstructed. After what felt like forever Harvey answered him in an abnormally tiny voice.

"Yes Mike, we'll talk. Now go to sleep."

Mike finally allowed his body to relax as Harvey pulled the comforter over the two of them. And then he suddenly knew that it didn't matter what the consequences might be in the long run. Right now, in this very moment, he had gotten the infamous closer to open up enough to allow himself to be closed.
