Harmony gripped the edge of the worktable and closed her eyes.She was so turned on her knees were weak.
“Are you okay over there?”Damien asked, his chair squeaking as he moved.
She opened her eyes and saw him on his feet, walking toward her.“Don’t you dare come closer.”
He held up his hands, failing to hide his smirk.“I’m just trying to help.Maybe give you some relief from your uncomfortable feeling.”
Her gaze slid to the erection trying to break free from his pants.“It looks like I’m not the only one who’s uncomfortable.”
His smirk was positively sinful.“I’m not.You want to help me out with that?”He palmed his dick through his pants.
“I should have taken that office,” she mumbled.
“What was that?”
She glared at him.“I was offered an office last year.I turned it down because I spend all my time in the lab, not the office.I said I should have taken that office.”
Damien chuckled.“That would have been handy right now.”
The door behind Damien opened, and one of the grad students walked in.He nodded at Damien, then went to his workstation, oblivious to the sexual tension suffocating Harmony.
Damien winked at her, then returned to his chair, lifting his foot onto his knee again to hide his massive erection.
It was going to be a long fucking day.
The only thingDamien enjoyed more than watching Harmony work was teasing her while she was doing it.For a full week, they spent their nights in his bed and their days in her lab.He admired her focus and excitement in her work.She was intelligent and worked hard to complete her project.Not that he understood anything about what she was doing, but he knew she was making progress whenever she gave a little shimmy and grinned like she’d won something.
Damn, she was cute.
He was really looking forward to a weekend with her, though.It was Friday morning, and she was not working the weekend.She’d caught up on all the things she was behind on a week ago, and she decided to take some time off, something Damien got the feeling she didn’t do often.
Things had been quiet, but Captain Patrick still wanted her to stay with him since they hadn’t found anything about who was after her or why.
Damien parked in the employee lot and checked their surroundings before unlocking the doors.No matter how many times he told her to wait for him to come around, she always got out of the car before he made it there.
She did it again, smirking at him when he made it to her side.
“Just once, I want you to listen to me.”
“I listened last night when you told me to come.”
“Fuck, Harmony.I think you want me walking funny all day.”
“You like it when I am,” she quipped.
He snorted and kissed the side of her head.If it weren’t for the danger she was in, he would have admitted to himself exactly how hard he’d already fallen for her.Instead, he kept those words locked up tight.Her safety was more important.
She swiped her keycard and let them into the building.It was quiet, like it always was when she got there.Harmony was usually the first one to arrive and the last to leave, something Damien understood but hated now that he was aware of it.
He followed her down the short hall to the lab she spent most of her time in.They were almost to the door when she stopped on a dime.
“What’s wrong?”Damien asked.
“The door is open.”
He looked at where she pointed.Her lab was never open.Not when she was inside and working, not when no one was there.Anyone who needed access had a key, but otherwise, it was always closed.
Except now.
