A/N Hi everyone! This was written for my Leverage Bingo Card prompt: The Gimme A K Street Job. Thanks to Susie Devereaux for the idea! :D

"What was that?" Sophie glared at Nate, hands on her hips.

"What was what?" he frowned.

They had just left the Committee Hall and were following Eliot and Hardison down the corridor. The hacker had managed to secure a room where they could meet and work far away from prying eyes.

She put a hand on his arm and stopped him in the middle of the corridor. "That look between you and that Barron"

He rolled his eyes and smirked. "I don't know. She was the one staring at me"

"Yes well… You should probably stay away from her."

"Sophie, she's the mark. How am I supposed to stay away?"

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and puffed. "She was a cheerleader… they're… ugh… I just don't trust her."

He smiled. "But you trust me, right?" He stepped closer to her invading her personal space. Sophie took and deep breath. He perfectly knew the effect it had on her. "I've got you, there's nothing you should worry about" he leaned down and kissed her cheek. His lips lingered more than it would have been considered appropriate for two supposed acquaintances in Congress.

He then walked away smirking. He loved it when Sophie showed her jealous side. It meant that he wasn't the only who didn't like when the marks laid their eyes on her.

Of course they both knew that he couldn't stay away from Whitney Barron, he had to engage her and lead her into their trap.

Nate had noticed how the former cheerleader was attracted to him. If he had been a back in high school, when he was a loan shark's son who just tried to keep to himself and had built a reputation of bad boy, the attention would have flattered him. Now that he was a grown up and was in a stable relationship, it was particularly annoying, but maybe he could use it to his advantage.

"Did you have lean so close to her?" he heard hissing in his ear.

"How do you know?" he smirked.

"I could practically hear her breathing through your com!" she replied annoyed.

"Soph…" he warned. He knew it wasn't just them on the coms. The team was listening, and although they knew about them, he didn't want their private conversation to be heard by everyone. "I'm just trying to get under her skin, so she'll get sloppy."

"Well, it's getting under my skin!"

"Can we discuss it later?"

"Yes, please" Harison agreed. "We don't need to hear this."

"Okay" Sophie said, but Nate knew she was furious at him.

Later that day, after the con was finished, the team was back at the brewery. Sophie hadn't talked to Nate during the whole plane ride and he was getting annoyed by it. It's not like he did anything wrong?

They were sitting at the mastermind's desk. He had convinced her that he needed her to finish some paperwork about the case. In the meanwhile the rest of the team was in the kitchen making dinner for everyone.

"So, Fort Devereaux" he mumbled while was he was writing down something.

"Huh?" she looked up from where she was playing with a pen in her hand. The other one was propped up the desk holding up her head. "Oh, yeah" she answered once her brain registered his words.

"You know? Normal women go shopping when they are angry or frustrated, they don't name a military base after them"

"I'm not like any women" she smirked despite her anger.

"Don't I know it" he smiled back. "So, are you going to tell me what's really going on or are you going to sulk for the rest of the evening?"

"I don't know what you're talking about" she lied.

He sighed and put his pen down. "I'm not blind. I know when women are flirting with me and I know today hasn't been the first time it happened since…" he waved his hand. "… since this thing between us has started, but it's never bothered you before. What's changed?"

"Maybe because she was younger and more attractive than me"

"You know that's not true." He rolled his eyes. "Sophie, what's going on?"

She sighed and finally told him what had upset her. " The other evening I was sitting at the bar counter and a man, who was definitely there to hook up with someone, just walked past me and started flirting with the woman next to me"

Nate opened his eyes wide. "So you're angry that a woman flirted with me today and what? A man didn't flirt with you two days ago? I'm not following you here"

"It's…" she groaned in frustration. "I used to be the woman men stopped to flirt with. Why don't I attract their attention anymore?"

"I can answer that"

Both Nate and Sophie jumped on their seat. They turned around to see Eliot standing at the door.

"Were you lurking again? What happened to privacy?"

The hitter just shrugged. "If you want privacy you shouldn't talk here. You know the place is under surveillance, right?"

"Can we go back to my problem?" Sophie intervened.

"You're sending the vibe." Eliot simply answered.

"What vibe?" she frowned.

"You know…" he waved his hand. "The one I learned to recognized that says don't bother coming to me, I'm not available"

"But I am available!"

"Are you now?" Nate rose his eyebrow.

She looked at him a bit guilty. "Well okay, I'm not. But it's always flattering to have men interested in you"

"I'm telling you, it's the vibe."

"Well Nate is not available either, but that didn't stop Barron" she knew she was now acting like a child, but she didn't care.

"She was evil, I don't think that would have stopped her. Also, going after unavailable men it's challenging and intriguing, going after unavailable women you're only looking for trouble." Eliot pointed out. "If you two are finished, I came here to tell you that dinner is ready"

Nate nodded. "Give us a minute, would you?"
The hitter nodded and left them alone.

"I know what you're going to say" Sophie interrupted him before he had the chance to open his mouth.

"Really?"

"I know, I'm acting like a child, I should have known better, leave it all behind… Why are you smiling?" she got irritated by the big smile stuck on his face.

"You're just adorable when you're jealous." He smirked while leaning over her to kiss her pout away. Even though she was still a bit angry, she kissed him back running her hands up his chest.

"I'm really that woman now, aren't I? Someone who is in a stable relationship and people can tell by just looking at me?"

"Apparently, but is it really such a bad thing?" he asked slightly worried about her answer.

"No," she kissed him again "It's not a bad thing"

"If you want we could spice things up a bit one day and pretend we're just two strangers meeting for the first time at a bar."

"Hmm… role playing… now we're talking" she purred sexily and nipped his bottom lip.

"I've noticed that there are two tickets for your inauguration, does this mean I'm invited too?" he asked while they had their foreheads pressed together.

"I guess so" she replied teasingly.

"Are you guys coming? I'm hungry!" they heard Hardison shouting from the brewery.

They sighed and let go of each other. Nate took Sophie's hand in his and they walked towards the front.

"I can be the congresswoman and you can be my sexy assistant." she whispered mischievously in his ear while slapping his behind.

He chuckled shaking his head "You're incorrigible!"
