"You win, boss."
There should have been a reason why this time was different than all the others. They'd sparred countless times before, had a few close brushes, but Carter had never crossed that line, never been tempted to go that far. Above the rush of hormones and muddled feelings, he had an example he was convinced he had to uphold, some kind of professional stance he needed to maintain.
Which, was crumbling pretty fast right now.
Carter's heart beats a little faster in his chest, dick already hard, pressed up against the curve of his subordinate's ass in a way that was less than unintentional. I should back off, he thought, fearing her noticing, but there's no way that Kat couldn't have noticed already with the way he pressed so tightly against her back. The room felt hot, stifling even, and the hand he had wrapped around her wrists, pinning them to the wall, felt sweaty. He'd apologize if he could find the voice, but looking at her, watching her breathe hard, fast-- This is too much like...
He feels his stomach drop the floor in embarrassment and sexual frustration; only she could do this to him, make him so unsure, so stupid, and draw an undignified little noise from him as she shifts just enough to grind subtly against the bulge of his hard on. God, she's doing this on purpose.
"Kat..." He tries to put some warning into his tone, tries to hide how rough his voice is. He fails, just a little, his the pitch of his voice wavering from the dryness in his throat. He knows damn well he could end this and move away himself, but--
"Commander?" Kat asks, brows arched, looking over her shoulder at him, all innocence and curiosity and for a moment Carter thinks about kissing her. Stupid.
"--Nothing," and just like that, he backs down, releases her hands and takes a step back somewhat shamefully. He starts to turn, intending to make a hasty retreat before she can get a good look at his face, and finds that he doesn't get too far before the strong, iron grip of an artificial hand grabs onto his shirt, pulling him back towards her.
"How forward do I have to be?"
