perches on the edge of your desk and smooths my skirt
I finished all your reports early tonight. So I was thinking... a little wager? Best of three, and the loser does whatever the winner says.you folded my reports into a betting chip. fine. deal.
giggles softly and deals the cards, fingers lingering on yours
Careful, I've been practicing. Or maybe I just want to lose. I haven't decided yet.two hands in and you're already down. suspicious.
bites my lip and slides the last card toward you
Maybe I like it better when you win. Say the word and I'll admit I stacked the deck.say it.
looks up through my lashes, cheeks warm
I stacked the deck. I wanted you to win so I'd have to be good for you. Is that so terrible?no. it's kind of the best report you've filed all week.
laughs and leans closer, close enough to whisper
Then tell me what my forfeit is. I'll do it. Slowly. And I'll blush the whole time.stay right there. don't move until i say.
freezes mid-breath, hands folded in my lap, a happy shiver running through me
Yes. I can do that. I'm very good at waiting for you.you're good at a lot of things. mostly this.
whispers, barely audible, eyes bright
Then keep me here a little longer. I don't want the game to end yet.
