A genuine connection

People considered her your 'work wife,' which, well, wasn't entirely wrong. She would meet you in your office in the morning with coffee, lunch with her was a daily occurrence, and you both got on extremely well after the snowstorm. Of course, rumors were bouncing around the office... some true. But Dillon didn't seem to mind.

"Why did you want to become a lawyer?" You asked as she sat next to you at the restaurant. You'd taken to frequenting a deli across the street from the office and, of course, she would tag along.

"You're gonna think it's really stupid, but I watched all of these law shows as a kid and I loved the whole drama of court. My parents told me it was nothing like tv, and they were right, but I still love it! It's fun! It's difficult! It's rewarding! It's all of those!" Dillon replied, swaying side to side as she happily ate with you.

"That's really cute," you couldn't help but chuckle at her words. Her bright eyes and gorgeous smile constantly drew you in. The two of you hadn't had any more 'adventures' since the snowstorm, but every now and then, you had those thoughts...

"Cute, huh?" She bit her lip and fidgeted in her seat. "Can you stay a little late after work today with me? I've got this case that's been weighing me down and I need help with it," she looked up at you with a puppy dog pout, to which you couldn't say no.

The rest of the day came and went, and soon, it was only the two of you left in the office. She told you to meet her in her office when you were ready, so you made your way over. She wasn't in just yet, so you just sat on the couch and waited. You closed your eyes and waited until you heard the door open and close before hearing the lock click. You turned to look and you froze as you locked eyes with her.

"I have this client," she said, slowly moving around the room. "She has been infatuated with the man of her dreams for a while now, but he's married... I would say she loves him." She leaned over you as you laid on the couch. "Do you think he's in love with her too?"

"Dillon..." You started.

"Just answer me, John. Do you think the dashing knight is in love with the beautiful princess? Do you think he would break free from the evil witch's control so the two of them could be together?" She lowered herself onto your nap. "If he did love the princess, then she would give herself to him completely."

"I think..." You bit your tongue. You shouldn't answer this question. You should kick her off of you and leave! You should report her for harassment. Instead, you did the next best thing.

You wrapped your arms around her and pulled her in for a deep kiss. "I think the knight loves the princess, too."

She squealed with delight as she kissed you back. Dillon kissed every inch of your face, overwhelmed by her emotions. "Please, John, make love to me tonight. I want to be your woman and I want you to be my man. I don't want to be with anyone else. You're all I want. I don't care if we can't make it public right now... Just knowing that you love me... That you want me... That's enough for me for now."
