It was late when Steve arrived back at AC-12. He'd been out all afternoon with his new partner and after dropping him off at his home had made the trip back to headquarters. No one else apart from her was there in the whole office. He could see her staring completely focused on the computer screen in front of her as she wrote her report.
She hated that part of the job and had been texting him throughout the afternoon, obviously trying to procrastinate. He completely understood as he wasn't particularly keen on report writing himself and had replied with very supportive and understanding texts. As any good partner would do. Only in this case when he said partner it was in the boyfriend sense of the word.
Nine months they had been together in the truest sense of the word. Living together for the last three. Of course that had meant changes at work. The gaffer had reached some sort of compromise with them. They could still work together at AC-12, but on different teams. He hadn't wanted any lovers' quarrels to be brought in to the work place and affect their work.
She hadn't noticed him arrive and Steve took the opportunity to study her. Without doubt he was a lucky son-of-a-bitch. She was way out of his league although she refused to agree with him.
Her hair was pulled back in to a short low pony tail at present in a nod to currently growing her hair longer. A pair of black spectacles in place that she wore for screen work. She hated wearing them but Steve thought they suited her. They gave her a sort of sexy secretary vibe. One that made him want to take her home and straight to bed. The honeymoon phase of their relationship showing no signs of abating. Thank god.
As Steve approached her, he caught her eye and she looked up. On seeing who had joined her, he couldn't help but like the amazing smile that suddenly lit up her face. It gave him a sense of pride that he was responsible for that smile. He made her that happy.
"How's it going?" he asked as he finally reached her chair and stood behind her. His arms coming to rest on her shoulders and he couldn't help but massage them for a while as he looked at the screen and read what she had written so far.
"Ok," Kate answered, loving the attention Steve was playing to the knotted muscles in her shoulders. A result of having to sit in front of a computer all afternoon. "Probably another thirty minutes and I should be done,".
"I'm gonna make myself a drink. Want one?" Steve asked. He was going to have to wait for her to finish her report before they went home.
"Tea would be great," Kate answered. "Thanks,".
"No problem," Steve said as he gave the top of her head a little kiss before wandering off to the kitchen. He had been worried that Kate would have a lot more to do, but thirty minutes was easy. He could easily occupy himself for that amount of time.
"There you go," Steve said as he put a mug of steaming tea down in front of Kate a little while later.
"Thanks," Kate said as she typed away. "How was your afternoon?".
"Oh you know, nothing that exciting," Steve said as he moved away to his desk. "Couple of leads to follow up over the next few days," he added as he removed his suit jacket and put it on the back of his chair.
"That's good," Kate agreed as she took a look at her lover. He was now undoing his waistcoat and removing his tie now that work was over. He undid the top button of his shirt followed by the buttons on his cuffs before rolling his sleeves up to his elbows. She knew he was getting comfortable but half wanted him to keep going in his slow strip. Appreciating Steve's body was much more fun than report writing.
She turned back to her computer screen to stop her lustful thoughts getting in the way of her task. She heard the creak of his chair as Steve sat down followed by the soft thud of his feet coming to rest on his desk as he stretched out.
Kate knew Steve well and knew he got bored easily. He was worse than Josh sometimes. Glancing out the side of her eye she saw him on his phone. He was checking the latest news- sports first before the headlines as he always did. Then he would move on to his games before he started annoying her. She knew she really was going to have thirty minutes to complete her work before he started playing up.
Focussing on her deadline, Kate got another five paragraphs written accompanied by occasional noises from Steve indicating whether he was doing well or poorly at his games.
"How's it going?" Steve asked as he invaded Kate's personal space and rested his head on her shoulder. He was all out of lives on his game. Checking his watch it had been forty five minutes since Kate had said she would be no more than thirty, so he was justified in asking the question.
"Not much longer, I promise," Kate replied before giving a kiss to the top of his head. .
Steve watched Kate's fingers moving elegantly over the keyboard. The rings she was wearing catching the light every now and then. He had been thinking about presenting her with one to take up residence on her empty left ring finger, but so far had been too chicken to see if she would accept it. He really was going to have to do something about that in the not too distant future he mused.
"You staying there?" Kate asked, breaking him from his daydream. His hair was tickling her nose as she typed and she could smell the shampoo he had used that morning which was off-putting. Not to mention the great weight of his head on her shoulder making it difficult to move one arm.
Steve nodded his head. He was perfectly happy where his head was resting, although he changed position so that his eyes were now staring at her neck instead of the computer screen.
He took a breath in and smelt the remnants of Kate's perfume that she had put on that morning. She had always worn the same scent since he had known her and always associated it with her. Now it was also comforting as it reminded him of home.
He breathed out and Kate flinched. "That tickles," she told him. Steve grinned. He loved teasing her. Despite coming over all professional at work, Kate was actually very playful when it was just the two of them together. He breathed in and out again.
"Stop it," Kate warned as she felt his breath on her neck as she continued to type. She was determined to finish this report that night.
"You've got a very pretty neck did you know that?" Steve said as he examined it up close.
"No," replied Kate still typing. She was not going to be distracted however hard Steve tried. "It's a part of my body I can't really see without a mirror,".
"Shame," said Steve. "You're missing out," he informed her.
"I will have to take your word for that," Kate replied non-committedly.
Lifting his head off Kate's shoulder he wheeled his chair so it was behind Kate's and started massaging her shoulders again. Kate groaned. "Good?" he asked as he continued to knead her muscles.
"Yeah," she replied. "Thanks,".
"No problem," Steve said. "I want to help you get this report done so we can go home,".
Kate continued with her work undisturbed for a bit as Steve continued with his ministrations. He was actually quite a good masseuse.
"Take away for dinner ?" Steve asked, starting up some chat in pretty much the same way Kate's hairdresser did whenever she visited the salon.
"Yeah, I think so. I'm too tired to cook tonight," Kate said.
"Usual?".
"What do you think?" She replied sarcastically. It was always curry for their go-to take away.
"Sorry," Steve said.
There was more silence as they each concentrated on their tasks before Steve's hands started wandering. Over Kate's shoulder tips and down her arms. Her neck was proving too enticing and his lips replaced his finger tips as he kissed the skin on the back of her neck.
Kate tried valiantly to keep working as long as possible before the realisation hit her that she could be doing much nicer things at home.
"Fuck it," Steve heard her mutter as he continued to give her neck his undivided attention. He half wondered if he was going to get a telling off for being responsible for an error in her work.
File. Save. Log off. Kate quickly powered her work station down. "Let's go home," she declared as she removed her glasses and put them in her handbag.
"You finished?" Steve asked, surprised at Kate's sudden completion of her work.
"Nah," she said. "It can wait until tomorrow," she informed him.
"What changed your mind?".
"Your massage," Kate answered. "Might be nice to get a whole body one," she said grinning.
Steve grinned back. Sex was on the menu instead of take away curry. Picking up his discarded suit jacket and tie he was following Kate out of the office.
The lift arrived to take them down to the car park. They tumbled in to the waiting car, Steve pressing Kate against the wall. They were starting their foreplay before the doors shut behind them.
