Hopefully this makes up for re posting a chappie. This is actually a scene from I Am Woman, but I really want to post it before tonight's episode.
Auggie sat back in his chair, exhausted. He leaned his head as far back as it would go and closed his eyes. Life had been so much simpler when he had been in Tech Ops, and, he had the added benefit of being in almost constant contact with Annie. He allowed his mind to drift to the petite Special Agent. He had heard that she had undergone a major attitude and wardrobe change ever since he had left. He wondered what that exactly entailed. He was about to find out.
Annie paused outside his door, giving herself a moment to think. Was she really about to do this? She squared her shoulders as she answered her own question. If it was the only way to get him back, hell yes she was. She gave herself a quick look over to make sure she was prepared. After passing her own set of standards, she glanced in through the glass door. Auggie was looking tense, and tired. Almost like he needed a diversion. Thankfully, that was just what she was planning. Without a second thought, she pushed his door open and stepped inside, closing it firmly behind her.
Auggie sat bolt upright at hearing the door latch. He was about to make an excuses to Arthur, that is, until he smelled Jo Malone Grapefruit. Much to his delight, it was Annie. He tilted his face to the door and smiled. "Annie Angel, and what can I do for you, today?"
Her footsteps were soundless as she approached him. She had silently slipped her shoes off, one she was inside. Now, her bare feet made not a sound as she navigated the cold tile floor. Instead of sitting in one of the chairs across from him, she maneuvered herself s that she was right next to him, before sitting on the edge of the desk itself. This bothered him, Annie had never behaved in this manner before."Annie, you OK?"
"Auggie, you left me." she made sure to inject just the right amount of hurt into the statement, as well as crossing her legs. This movement wasn't lost on Auggie.
His response was to wince. "I'm sorry, Annie. It was time for me to make a change, my job was getting boring as it was."
"So, you find me boring."
He ran his hands through his hair in aggravation."Damnit Annie. You know I didn't mean it like that."
She brushed her bare leg against his arm. Just the lightest caress, but it was enough to make him jump and push his chair back a few feet. Annie laughed at this. "Whats the matter Auggie? Did I shock you?"
He shook his head gently. Annie's touch had never affected him that way before. The smooth, warm skin of her leg was beckoning him. "Annie, you know I didn't mean it that way, besides, isn't Stu doing a good enough job handling you?"
Annie laughed again. "He does an O.K job, but I would much rather you 'handle me'."
Auggie's mouth went dry at that statement. Annie had undergone a attitude change. She would have never said something like that normally. "Well, what is the problem? Maybe I can help him out with it."
She hooked the arms of the chair and dragged it back to its starting position, bringing Auggie much closer to her. "Well, we just don't have that same bond that you and I have. He does a good job, but I don't trust him the way I do you. Would you possibly consider coming back? Back to me?"
He stood, a little awkwardly considering how close she was, and rested his hands on her shoulders. "I can't. Arthur already put all of the paperwork through. I belong to him now."
She grabbed his hands angrily. "Fine! This is what I get for trusting another man. I trusted Ben, and we ll know how that turned out, I trusted you, and you abandon me." This last sentence was spoken in a broken whisper.
"Annie." This one word was filled with so much pain, she almost trashed the whole plan, just to make sure he smiled. Until she thought of the bigger picture. "Annie, you know you can always trust me. I have always been there for you before, and I will always be there for you now, and in the future."
She held his hands for a moment longer before resting them on the tops of her thighs. "I know I can always trust you Auggie. Especially to help keep away a certain Dark Prince intent on running the C.I.A one day." She subtly injected Jai into the conversation, knowing that Auggie's protective streak would take care of the rest.
Auggie's head was spinning. How short was her skirt? He could almost imagine the position she was sitting in that would cause her skirt to ride up as high as it was. He forcibly removed his thoughts from the bedroom and back on the conversation. He knew that Stu couldn't handle Wilcox on his own, thus leaving Annie vulnerable to his less than chivalrous advances. "what do you need from me Annie?"
She leaned forward, wrapping both arms around his neck and putting her lips close to his ear. "I just want you to come back, Auggie. Come back to me."
He instinctively placed his hands on her hips to keep her from falling off the desk. It also brought her dangerously close to him. "Well, I guess I could come back. After all, Arthur does owe me one for forcing me to spy for him."
Annie wrapped her legs around his waist, closing the almost minuscule gap between them. "Oh Auggie. I would be so grateful." her voice had dropped an octave as she felt felt his hard body flush against hers.
"How grateful?" Auggie whispered as he pressed a kiss against the sensitive juncture between her shoulder and neck.
"I'll just have to show you how grateful I am once you confirm that your back in Tech Ops." She unwrapped her legs from around his waist and nimbly hopped off the edge of the desk. Five seconds had her clothing in order, while five more seconds had her shoes on and she was out the door.
Auggie stood frozen by his desk, wondering how the hell a seasoned former field Agent had been so easily manipulated by a relatively new Agent. He really wasn't sure, but he did know one thing. The new Annie Walker was a whole new breed of animal. A wild, almost feral one that he was going to enjoy taming.
