Well that had been, unexpected.
Not the sex itself, of course. She'd known that was coming - pardon the pun - from the moment their eyes locked across the table at Division. The when wasn't that much of a surprise, either. He'd asked her to dinner after their meeting and then those nimble fingers of his had taken every opportunity to touch her. It started with light brushes, which turned to lingering, deliberate caresses, and once they were in the safety of the cab on the way home - full-blown gropes. So no, the act and the when of the act weren't surprises at all.
The where was pretty surprising. She'd no sooner shut the door to her apartment when he was pressing her back against it and hauling her legs around his waist. The coupling itself was loud, frantic, and damn good. She was pretty sure her panties would be declared a casualty of Tony's questing, impatient fingers, and his shirt may or may not need to be repaired.
Either way, they were still joined, slumped together on the floor in front of her apartment door. Their breathing had long since returned to normal, but neither made a move to leave. In fact, Tony's arms wound around her waist tighter. She made sure to pillow his cheek on her breast, giving him the chance to rest. He'd worked hard after all. So hard, he earned the easy strokes her hand was making across his back.
Finally, he cleared his throat. "You think they bought it today?"
She couldn't help but laugh. "Oh yeah. We definitely fooled them. Operation keep the relationship secret was a success," she teased, dipping her head to kiss him. "Assuming nobody saw you touch my ass as we left, that is."
