The words were professional, but the way she said them—all low and close—made Lena's breath catch. They were standing too close again, just like they couldn't seem to help doing whenever they worked together.
"This can't happen at work," Erin said quietly, but she didn't step back.
"No," Lena agreed, not moving either. "It can't."
But neither of them stepped away, and the case files scattered around them seemed suddenly irrelevant compared to the electricity crackling in the space between their bodies. Somewhere in the building, a door closed. A phone rang distantly and went unanswered.
Lena couldn't remember afterward who moved first, but her lips were on Erin’s neck and she tasted the salt on her skin. She ran her tongue up from the middle of her neck to the crook of her jaw, leaving a little bite just underneath, then lightly bit Erin’s earlobe while holding her close to her own body. Erin writhed in her embrace, and she nipped her earlobe once more before she leaned down to kiss her, letting her tongue slip into Erin’s mouth where their tongues danced together. Lena tangled her fingers in Erin’s red waves, and she gently tugged her hair near the base of her neck, earning a soft moan from Erin.
Erin looked up at her, her green eyes wide, and they listened for any noises from the hallway. Lena mockingly mimed “shush,” but continued to kiss her neck and unbutton Erin’s overshirt one button for every kiss. She exposed the black tank top underneath and slipped the straps off her shoulders, leaving a trail of kisses in their wake. Erin let out a soft moan, and Lena felt heat pool in her core. She leaned down and kissed the swell of Erin’s breast as her hand cupped her other breast over her tank top.
Erin leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes when Lena snaked her hand from her breast downward to slip beneath the waistband of her pants. Lena grinned as she rubbed against Erin over her cotton panties and felt Erin’s heat through the fabric.
“Mmmmm you like that, don’t you?” Lena purred in Erin’s ear as she kept stroking above her panties.
Erin made a small, strangled sound, almost like she was too scared to be heard.
“I didn’t hear you, baby.”
Her voice was a notch higher this time. “A little too much.”
“That’s what I thought. I can feel how much you like it.”
Almost immediately, Lena felt Erin’s panties dampen slightly, and she pressed her palm against Erin and made slow circles.
Lena watched as Erin’s lean, taut body writhed against the wall, her eyes closed and her neck tilted up in pleasure. Lena slipped her hand, now warmed from Erin’s heat, underneath her panties, and Erin immediately let out a gasp. Her mouth made an “o” and she clasped her hand over her face, but Lena could see she wasn’t too fazed when she melted underneath Lena’s touch when she put a finger inside.
Erin fumbled clumsily with the button on her pants and let them splay open to give Lena more room to maneuver her hand.
“Oh, you want more?” Lena asked in a teasing lilt.
Erin made a low, guttural sound that sounded almost pleading, and Lena felt more heat pool in her core as she readjusted her wrist to insert two fingers inside Erin and twist them upward to hit the spot she knew would make Erin see stars.
As soon as Lena hit the swollen G-spot, Erin’s legs buckled from pleasure, and Lena instinctively reached out to brace her. “I’ve got you, baby. Just enjoy this little treat.”
Erin regained her footing, but there was a new darkness in her eyes and she looked ravenous. Erin maintained fierce eye contact with her while she slipped off Lena’s belt and undid the button on her pants, and Lena could feel the anticipation rise from somewhere deep within her.
Once undone, Erin wasted no time rubbing Lena’s clit with her thumb. Lena felt her panties dampen, but Erin didn’t letup. She continued massaging the clit as Lena curled her fingers inside Erin.
Lena kept her mouth closed, but a garbled moan escaped anyway. “Touch me.”
Erin moved her hand now to underneath Lena’s panties and teased Lena’s folds, running her fingers between them slowly. Lena growled and watched Erin’s every move as she still worked her fingers inside Erin’s core. When Erin plunged a finger, then two, inside her, Lena sighed.
“One more,” Lena instructed. “Your ring finger.”
Lena nodded when Erin looked up at her, and Lena felt a wave of pleasure from being stretched and filled with Erin’s long, slender fingers. As a reward, Lena massaged Erin’s clit with her thumb as she kept fingering her, pumping her fingers even faster in and out. Lena’s breath hitched as Erin brought her closer to climax, and she wriggled her other hand up Erin’s tank top, the panels of her button shirt twisting around, and she squeezed Erin’s breast. That only spurred on Erin as she pumped her fingers even faster, and Lena rolled Erin’s hardened nipple between her thumb and forefinger before pinching it. Erin growled to stifle her moan, and she stood on her tiptoes to crash her lips against Lena’s, biting Lena’s lower lip. They both kept their fingering frenzy, and Lena felt Erin’s body tense first, her walls clenching around her fingers. Lena’s orgasm came swiftly after, and she felt waves of pleasure wash over her like a tsunami.
When they finally broke the kiss and Lena pulled away, she could taste a sharp, metallic tang on her lip where Erin had bit her.
Afterward, they sat in the dim light of Lena's office, clothes readjusted and breathing slowly returning to normal. The case files looked the same as before, but everything felt different.
"This can't happen again," Lena said, though her voice lacked conviction. "Not here."
"I know." Erin gathered her papers with hands that weren't quite steady. "We have an investigation to focus on."
But as she packed her laptop and files, their eyes met across the desk, and Lena knew they were both thinking the same thing: if not here, then where? And more frightening still…when?
Saturday evening found Lena staring at her phone, Erin's latest text glowing on the screen:“I found something interesting in the background checks. Want to go over it together? I have Thai food.”
