Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
The office had never been this silent, but it was a Saturday evening so Axel supposed that it made sense why. Still. That didn't mean that he was any less antsy, especially at this hour. It was close to nine in the evening, no one left but himself, a couple of other temps...and his boss who had been, as usual, cooped up in

"Come in, Ludovic!"
Yes, she suddenly remembered why she summoned the red haired secretary to this office. He says he knows what happens during a date...and he's ready to teach her how to date!
She should be more boss-like, though...shouldn't she?
"You're wasting my time! I'm an important person here, you can't do anything you wish, you know! Is it so hard to find the door?"
She hopes Ludovic won't be too hurt hearing this.

Shutting the door behind him, he leaned up against it and eyed her, head tilted and one eyebrow raised in question.
"You're the one that called me, y'know."

Nino takes a long look at the window. It's snowing and the outside temperature is so cold that it should be sentenced to prison for it. Yet, the only clothing the boss wears is a white, flower-patterned dress, letting her shoulders and most of her legs perfectly seeable.
"...no, I mean, skating, but I don't have skates. And I don't want you to catch a cold. So...what would you do on a date if you can't go outside? Do you want to watch TV or...No, I know!"
Nino's ayes shine as she runs to the bar and looks back at Axel with a smile which makes obvious how happy she is she can help Axel feel more comfortable. She shows up a bottle of beer as she turns back.
"Do you want to have a drink, Dominic?"
She sighs as she steps to Axel with the bottle.
I'm not sure I'm good at this bossing-thing

Her sudden spontaneity caught Axel off guard so suddenly. One moment she was talking about skating, then catching a cold, and then beer--Oh. Actually, a beer seemed nice right about now. It may have helped get him warmed up. Even if drinking on the job was technically illegal, Axel knew that he was in his boss' presence, and therefore couldn't get in trouble.
He smirked widely and then pushed away from the door to approach her. "Axel," he said, reminding her. "What about you? Don't you wanna drink something too?"

Hm. She's never been one to let him have his personal space, but Axel's learned to accept that.
He smirks towards those words. "Now, now. Poetry will get you nowhere." Playing hard to get, he slipps away from Nino and walks over to the bar, sets his beer can down, and starts to search around for somethings he can mix together to make a decent drink.

"You're speaking in riddles again, Axel, you know that I know nothing about poetry. I just...tried to say something interesting. No, it's not interesting, but...weird. when...when I look at you as you sit at your desk and pretend working or don't look at me because you know I'd like if you looked at me..."
She silently steps at the back of Axel and cuddles his neck. Her fingers caress his neck from the shoulder to the ear.
"I feel...hungry when I look at you. Not in my stomach though, but down here."
Nino puts her other hand right over Axel's loin and gently presses it, and at the same moment her other hand makes a quick move and a nail cuts through the skin under Axel's ear.

For a while all he can do is stare at the mini bar and feel her nails drag across his skin, leaving bright pink marks in their wake, but when she touches him in between the legs he stiffens and shuts his eyes, taking in a deep breath. "Mmn...You know this is illegal, right?" he asks, though he's chuckling at the same time, showing that he really doesn't mind the consequences.

And suddenly she's on the ground, looking up at him, his shirt haphazardly tossed on the floor, his tie just barely crumpled up beside it, and his belt now being pulled at and tugged without his consent. He isn't nervous and he isn't afraid...but Axel is amused. All of this talk, all of her actions--They can't be genuine. Her desire to touch and see him up close can't be real. It's just...infatuation. Lust. The world has turned Axel quite bitter toward emotions, so he tends to be cynical in their respect ( ... )

"I want nothing, Axel. I asked for you to do it. And my name is Nino, but if you don't want to call me Nino, you're free to call me Ambrose or Olga or Mercedes or whatever you want. You're not my slave. if you take your clothes and walk out of this room you'll still have a job tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and so on. Although...the weather..."
Nino's eyes reflect fear as she looks out at the snow. She looks for the keys of her apartment in her suitcase and places them at the table. It would be unbearable for her to touch Axel now.
"It would be dangerous for you to go home in this weather. Sleep at my apartment tonight...if you want to. I'll be at the restroom down here."
