[That Meta-AU Verse] ... for Harvey

[freshoffthefarm]

Really, Harvey had no one to blame but himself. Sure, she'd taught him the fine art of Skype, but everything else? His own fault. He'd called her during the day, while he was at work, through a video camera and he expected her to keep it at a PG-13 rating

In all fairness he assumed she could play nice while he was working. He'd go home soon and then she could bust out the big guns. She was the one who took them out early and decided to play dirty. He just had to get her back.

The ride home was like torture. He had a mental image that would force a lot of men who take care of business on their own. He was strong though. He would be strong. He would get home and make her wait for him to return. It was only fair.

He didn't bother with turning on the lights in his place. He flipped on one lamp that was located on his desk. It was all he would need. The next twenty minutes were spent changing into something more lounge appropriate. He loved his suit, but whatever happened might ruin the pants. Better safe than sorry.

He finally took a seat at his desk and signed back in. He leaned back and put his feet on his desk as he waited on her. Oh, Annie.

[freshoffthefarm]

Oh, Harvey.

When she appeared, there was very little left to the imagination. She hadn't changed out of her bathrobe, which hung on the tips of her breasts as if one not-so-strong tug would pull it loose.

Her hair was a little messier, but not much, and only because she was laying down now. In fact, she probably looked a lot like she did after he got finished with her in the car, but before they actually ever went inside and started the good stuff.

A smile curved over her lips and all she said was, "Traffic?"

[agunslinger]

Oh yeah. She was playing to win right now. She was totally not going to though. Harvey was good at this stuff. Seducing his girlfriend would not be hard.

.....

Seducing her might actually be hard. She was a trained CIA operative. She probably had skills he couldn't even dream of. She probably knew just the right words to say. Top that off with just being a woman and having a natural advantage. He was so very screwed.

"A bit. I got lucky." He tried not to look directly at them. He did not want her to know what he was thinking. "I was thinking I'd need a hat--to go with the scarf."

[freshoffthefarm]

He was so very, very screwed. Unfortunately for Annie, and for Harvey, he wasn't going to be screwed in the literal sense. That's what six hours of distance did to a relationship. Skype only added to the sexual frustration and she knew that by capitalizing on it, she could draw him to DC faster.

Expression softening and taking on one of innocence, she said, "Harvey. You and I both know that I'm not going to knit you a thing." A simple shift and the robe fell, exposing one perfect nipple for him to see. "You're going to have to buy it, the hat, too."

Her tongue came out to trace over her bottom lip, "Though, in the interest of full disclosure, I'm probably a little biased when I say that Washington's selection of winter outerwear is better than New York's."

[agunslinger]

Really? Wearing a robe like that is just mean. It's not like Harvey can fly or anything like that. Tempting him like that was just going to cause extreme frustration. Frustration that would force him into buying a plane ticket and sitting among frequent fliers who treated planes like their homes. They talked too much as well. Too much, Annie.

"I think I can afford it." He took in a sharp breath and shifted in his chair. His legs stayed up on the desk in an attempt to stay casual. Don't let her think she's won. He knew in the back of his mind that she had.

"Is it? Is the fabric good?" Fine. You want to lose clothing, Annie. He'll lose some clothing. His t-shirt came off and he tossed it beside him. "I can't have cheap fabric. Makes my chest itchy."

[freshoffthefarm]

Without any kind of hint that she was doing well, Annie decided to step up her game. Her entire body flushed when he took his shirt off and a wicked smile appeared on her face.

"I like your chest," she admitted, "I'd hate to recommend less than the best." Annie then leaned back just a little, arching her back. Because of the shiver he'd caused, her nipple had tightened to an almost painful ache, there for him to see on his screen while she pushed her fingers through her hair and gave a small moan.

Nothing like a good stretch.

[agunslinger]

Sound effects? Must you employ sound effects, Annie? You don't see Harvey flexing and trying to groan. He's very well aware how ahead of the game she is. He's gonna have to get better at these little engagements with Annie. Usually he's at the top of his game, but with her he tended to tread water a bit. Not that it was ever a bad experience.

"I can certainly see your enthusiasm." Yeah. He's talking about the nipple. He's looking, but he's not going to just say he is. He needs to casually slip it in there. Hence his comment.

"It's alarming how good you are at this." You know what he's talking about, Annie. You know you have skills.

[freshoffthefarm]

"Oh!" She tugged her robe over her breast as if it were some random, accidental thing that had just happened without her knowing. Damn bathrobes. "I didn't realize that I'd come out of my robe."

Her facial expression said everything to the contrary. After all, if he was going to say how alarming it was, she was going to show him just how good at this she was. "This would go so much better if you were here. When can Mike be left alone again?"

[agunslinger]

For a moment his jaw almost dropped. She was cruel. She was just toying with the poor lawyer now. The big CIA operative was making a small fish lawyer sweat in his own apartment. Just thinking about how she could hook a bad guy was downright frightening. Females.

"I don't know." He lifted a hand and tapped his chin thoughtfully. He tilted his head and then nodded. "He's gonna have to be fine with the rest of the week. I bought a ticket in the car on the way home." Oh. Did he forget to mention that first, Annie? Sorry. "I leave later tonight."

[freshoffthefarm]

Oh, Harvey.

Her tongue darted out to touch her bottom lip again and she sucked it into her mouth before she gave him her sweetest smile. The smile that she'd used time and again across a dinner table to make his stomach flutter. That one.

She used it now before she lowered her eyes and shook her head. Dropping her shoulder so the robe fell again, she raised her gaze and murmured, "You are so good to me."

[agunslinger]

Harvey smiled and rested his hands on his chest. He let out a lazy sigh and shrugged his shoulders. "What can I say? I do try." His eyes flickered downward just to catch a glimpse. He's not going to swivel his head around like a child. He's going to be calm about it.

His eyes popped back up and he pulled his legs off the table. He moved to stand and stretch upward off camera. "You think I should bring these sweatpants with me? I'm just not sure." He pushed them down a little, but stopped just below his hipbones. He had on boxer briefs. The good ones. Just for Annie.

[freshoffthefarm]

"No."

She grinned into the camera, lifting her chin as if that would help her to get a better view of what came below the edge of said sweats. Unfortunately, the stubborn bastard had stopped where he had on purpose.

Ass.

Settling back down, she smirked into the camera and added, "You won't be needing them once you get here. Promise."

[agunslinger]

She couldn't see the smug smile he had right now. She probably knew about it because when wasn't Harvey smug? It was practically second nature to the lawyer by now. She's not the only one who can flash some skin and make people squirm. He's fairly certain she's a bit better at it though.

"I won't?" He's still off screen. "What are these activities going to be? Can't wear clothes. I'm stumped." They could be real and they could be sarcasm pepped with innuendo. This just wasn't one of the "real" nights.

He pushed the sweatpants lower and then let go. They had gotten past the point of staying up on their own. Down they slid all by themselves.

[freshoffthefarm]

There was no way that she needed to see the smile to hear it in his voice; nevertheless, it makes her smile and then she giggles just a little, rolling forward and allowing the robe to cover some, if not all, of her bare skin again.

"If I have to remind you of the naked activities that we're going to be participating in once you get here, then I'm not sure you deserve to be participating," she teased, her amusement still obvious in her tone.

The delight that appeared on her face when his pants dropped wasn't something she could hide, nor did she try. "Well, now. That's much better."

[agunslinger]

He bent and his head appeared on camera. "I better be participating in these activities. Just so we're clear." He was back off camera after that stunning display of childishness. He did not want to be excluded. It made him sad. Mainly because it involved sex.

"Is it?" He stretched backwards and put his hands on his lower back. His bottom half thrust forward and his top bent backwards as he got the fake kings out. He was enjoying himself a little bit.

He let out a sigh and then sat back in his chair. He put his feet onto the desk and laced his fingers together. He put his hands behind his head and smiled as he lounged. "I feel much better."

[freshoffthefarm]

"I'd be very disappointed if you didn't want to participate in those activities with me," she said, having lowered her voice to something just above husky and just below a purr.

She watched the show he put on with a little more amusement than he probably meant for her to have. "I bet you do. Now? I'm going to feel much better."

Sitting up just a little she gave a small shimmy and let the robe fall off completely, then lay back down on the bed. One hand moved over her chest, pinching the nipple that was closest to her laptop before continuing down the flat plane of her stomach. "I really hope you get here soon. No comparison, I promise."

Annie murmured the words I promise right before she slipped her fingers over her clit and closed her eyes.
