I couldn't believe Emily did that. I was pretty sure you could fry an egg on my face right now. And that grin that Dean was giving me…my stomach did a flip flop.

I cleared my throat in an attempt to get my voice to come out steady. "So…um, case files?" I pointed to the file in Dean's hand, unable to look him in the eye just yet. I wasn't sure what I'd see, and if I saw the same desire in his face as I felt for him…I don't think the case files would be getting looked at for a while…

He gave a bark of laughter, "Yup, case files."

I laughed too, glad that he wasn't going to make a big deal of the tension in the room. The heat in my face started to ease.

I watched him look around, trying to find somewhere to work. There was a reason Emily and I usually went to the library to study. She had a desk, but it was already full of her study notes.

We could go to the library, but we'd told the others that we'd stay here. Anyway, considering that it was already after 8am and the dining hall was already open, I didn't expect them to be gone very long. Just long enough for Emily to work off the restlessness of being confined to her room of a morning.

So instead I came up with an alternate solution.

Dean gave me a confused look as I slid off the side of the bed to sit on the floor. I held out a hand for the file, and I saw him realise that the floor was the only space we could spread out the information in the file.

After a moment he shrugged, then passed the file and laptop to me with a laugh. "Well, I guess that'll do the trick."

I nodded and put the file and laptop onto the floor in front of me.

He sat down on the floor next to me, leaning back against the side of the bed with an exaggerated groan. "I'm too old for this you know." He grumbled jokingly.

I laughed, "You are not old."

He raised an eyebrow at me, "You sure about that?"

I nodded, replying without hesitation. "Yup."

He looked at me as though he was trying to figure me out.

I felt my face start to heat again. "What?" I asked, laughing.

He smirked, "Just wondering if you need glasses."

I hit him playfully on the arm, "Shut up."

His face lit up with a playful grin, and he pushed my shoulder with his. "Oh, so that's how it's gonna be, is it?"

I laughed, "You bet…old man."

He gave me an exaggerated look of offence, though I could see him trying not to laugh, "You did not!"

I just laughed harder, "I did."

He pushed me just hard enough to knock me over, then leant over me grinning. "Take it back."

"Nope." I tried and failed for a serious face, and instead just grinned at his sudden close proximity, feeling my heart beat harder.

His grin turned almost feral, causing all sorts of feeling to shoot through me. "Take it back, or else."

"Or else what?" I asked, poking him in the chest. I knew I was playing with fire…but I didn't care.

He narrowed his eyes at me, grinning, "Or else…I'll do this." And with that he started to tickle me under the arms.

"Ah! No!" I burst into uncontrollable laugher, squirming to escape his playful attack.

He kept tickling me till I was gasping for breath between the laughter. "Ah! OK, ok! Stop!"

He paused his attack, and I took the chance to catch my breath. "Take it back." His voice stayed light and playful…but I had seen the heat flare in his eyes when I started to squirm beneath him.

I had to press my lips together to keep from moaning at the intense way he was looking at me now, especially when he was still hovering above me, both of us breathing hard.

"You are definitely not old." I told him breathlessly, pressing one hand to his chest, while the other pressed into the floor next to me in an attempt to stay grounded.

He licked his lips and I had to fight the urge to moan again, "No…I guess I'm not." He agreed.

He was still staring at me intently, and I could feel his heart beating hard against my palm, matching the rapid beat of my own.

My previous nervousness had faded at the playful contact, and I met his stare steadily and bit my lip playfully.

His eyes darkened with desire and he let out a faint groan. "Are you…are you sure about this?" He asked.

I only hesitated for a moment before I nodded. "Yeah" I breathed.

He studied me then nodded, and licked his lips again before starting to lower his lips to mine.

I closed my eyes…and that's when Dean's phone rang.

We both groaned in frustration at the same time, then laughed.

"This is not over." I told him.

He chuckled, "Till next time, then."

The warmth of his body moved away from mine and I gave a huff of frustration, causing him to laugh.

At least I had the satisfaction of knowing I wasn't the only one left unsatisfied. I smirked at him, and the noticeable bulge in his pants.

He rolled his eyes at me with a smirk as he answered the phone. "Hey Sam, what's up?"

Hi everybody! Phew, it's getting steamy in here! ;) Such a fun chapter to write! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
