Chapter Five:
Just Another Day At The Office
Emily stated at the computer screen, she was trying her hardest to be productive and finish the pile of paperwork that was on her desk but she was having trouble staying focus on the task at hand. It had been three weeks since the night in Denver with Matt and it had been three weeks since she had been out in the field. Emily felt like she was going crazy being stuck in the office, especially being stuck in such close proximity with Matt. It seemed like every crazy, wrack job in the LA area had decided to go on vocation, there had not been a single new case in three weeks and being pinned up within inches of Matt was driving Emily nuts. She normally would have escaped by running to the basement to the shooting range, or Frank would have had a training exercise planned, or she would have been teaching her class but Cheryl wanted the paperwork for this month on her desk before the day was over and somehow they had fallen behind this month. So she was laterally stuck and she was getting no where with the paperwork.
"Lehman, you finished with the Johnson file?" Matt asked Emily.
No replied
"Lehman...you-who Lehman!" Matt practically had to scream at her to get her attention.
"Umm...what?" Emily snapped out of her dream world
"Where were you just now?" Matt asked. He was actually amused that she was having trouble concentrating. He certainly was having difficulty paying attention to his own computer screen with Emily sitting so close to him.
"Nowhere, I haven't moved" she replied dryly
"You were a million miles away and you’re still working on the Johnson case. We're never going to get out of here, if you keep day dreaming, Cheryl's threat to never let as leave till all the paperwork is done, she'll make that happen" He said sarcastically.
"You’re actually blaming me. You got to be kidding. You’re still on the Mason case." Now she was just irritated with the entire situation. "Arg...I need coffee." She was frustrated and needed a way out. She left the bullpen as fast as she could and headed for the break room, maybe caffeine would help but she doubted it.
Emily turned away from the entrance, as she poured herself a cup of coffee. She hung her head down, this was not going well, her mind kept drifting back to that night in Denver. Back to Matt, and how good it felt to have his hands all over her body. She could almost still feel his hands on her. Wait a minute; she could actually feel hands being lightly placed on her back.
Emily stayed perfectly still. It wasn't necessity for her to turn around she already knew who was standing behind her.
"Meet me in conference room three in five minutes" Matt whispered in her ear. And with that he turned around and left, he didn't even wait for Emily's reply.
Cold shivers ran through Emily's entire body but she came quickly back to reality, she would meet Matt alright, she give him a piece of her mind because apparently he lost his own. Touching her in the middle of the break room, what if someone had walked in, what if Cheryl had walked in. They both would have had a lot of explaining to do. She emptied her coffee and walked straight to the conference room.
Once Emily was inside the room, Matt close and locked the door behind her. They stood there stating at each other for a few awkward moments before Matt took a few steps toward Emily.
He was inches from her face, about to put his arms around Emily's waist and pull her into a kiss, when Emily moved back and put her hand up to stop him. "Matt nothing has changed. What I said in Denver I meant. We both should just forget that night ever happened and you cannot be touching me in the break room" She told him.
"Ok, I agreed with you in Denver, I was thinking it may have been a moment of weakness on both our accounts. But see Lehman, I don't think it was. For the past three weeks you have been walking around here like you were in another world. One case file today has taken you more than an hour to complete when normally you fly through paperwork. Emily opened her mouth to response but Matt quickly cut her off. "You’re not the only one that is distracted. Therefore, I suggest we just give into this tension we both are feeling" Matt said with a cocky grin.
Emily rolled her eyes at Matt and plopped down into the chair next to her. How did she get herself into this mess? She let out a sigh. "You’re crazy. Matt, even if your right and I am not saying you are, this is our careers we're talking about. Cheryl will fire both our butts if we were to get caught and we would get caught. This office is a breeding ground for rumors and gossip." Emily replied
Matt smiled and sat down next to her facing the chair so that their knees were touching. "Emily, think about it, if we both can't concentrate on paperwork, how are we going to concentrate when we're out in the field? SO logically and rationally if we don't give into this, we're be putting our jobs on the line anyway" Matt said taking a hold of Emily's hands and looking directly into her eyes.
"So you’re saying we have to have sex in order to keep our jobs." Emily rolled her eyes, it was a bunch of bull shit but maybe it was a way for her to justify it to herself. Matt moved closer and kissed her. Emily didn't pull back this time; she deepened the kiss and pulled herself up from the chair she had been sitting in, moving herself over so she was practically sitting in Matt's lap. Matt's hands begin to find their way to the back of Emily and soon made their way underneath her shirt. Emily and Matt continue to kiss, only stopping to catch their breath. "Wait, wait a minute" Emily said leading her head against Matt's. "Doing this in the office is a sure way to get caught" Emily whispered to Matt.
"Don't worry, the door is locked, Cheryl had a meeting with Hilton so she's not even in her office and everyone else are too swamped with paperwork to wonder where we went or come looking for us." he said with a smile before pulling her down for another mind blowing kiss.
The couple continued to kiss until Emily got bored with that. She began moving away from Matt's lips and stared to kiss his neck, than she pulled his shirt off. They both decided that they needed more room than the chair gave them so they used the table in the conference room as a make shrift bed. Some time during the relocation, Matt had removed Emily's shirt followed by her bra. The rest of their clothes soon followed. Matt and Emily continued to roam each others bodies until Matt couldn't take it anymore. He gently entered Emily and their bodies moved in one smooth motion, until they both reached climax.
Twenty minutes later the two negotiators were back at their desk, flying through the paperwork.
