It was hard to see Grace as fragile, though fragile she must be. Eva had a little more understanding now. Could see where the cool, capable exterior came from. It was a necessity. Needed to cover up the fragility inside. It made Grace more likeable, more.. loveable even.

She paid careful attention as they went over the rest of the report and when they were done was vaguely satisfied. It wasn’t a cancellation of the project. But true to her word, Grace had suggested several compromise options that would at least off-set some of the damage being done.

“I’m dropping by Holden Wright’s office,” Grace said, standing up and gathering her papers. “Shall I take both our reports?”

And just for a millisecond, Eva hesitated. The report was already in her hand but her muscles wouldn’t quite work to move it the two inches in Grace’s direction that were necessary. Surely she could trust Grace? Okay, she worked for the enemy. But after opening up like she just had done, after compromising as she had promised to do, surely she could trust the woman? She could doctor your report, said a little voice in the back of her head. Eva ignored it. A stupid idea. Grace wouldn’t do something like that. She moved, pushing the report in Grace’s direction.

“Thanks.”

“No problem,” smiled Grace.

Eva got up to open the door, a gesture of politeness more than anything else. But as she crossed Grace’s path the other woman was closer than she expected and she stumbled a little before reaching out for the door handle to steady herself. Grace was so close that she could smell her perfume, the spice of sandalwood flooding her senses. And she could feel her warmth. And all she could think about was their kiss. Grace was looking at her, her blue eyes unreadable.

Now her muscles did work. They were obedient to her every order as she reached out her hand and cupped Grace’s face. Obedient as she tilted her head just enough. Obedient as she brushed her lips against Grace’s.

It was nothing. Less than a second. Their lips had barely touched. But Eva could feel the electricity in the room like a static storm, thrilling through her. And she stepped back, unsure of what had made her kiss Grace, afraid now that she’d spark the same reaction as the last time.

But Grace didn’t run. Grace stood there for a full second looking into her eyes until heated desire was burning deep in Eva’s stomach.

“I’ll see you Saturday at the gala.”

Her voice was deep and Eva heard the desire in it and became breathless with it.

As soon as Grace closed the door behind her, Eva reached back to grasp the desk. Her legs were shaking so much she wasn’t sure she could stand unaided.
