She Takes Advantage Of Their Closeness To Indulge In His Scent And Warmth, The Temptation To Simply Pull

She takes advantage of their closeness to indulge in his scent and warmth, the temptation to simply pull him into an embrace at the front of her mind--he wouldn't mind if she just caved and pulled that tape measure out of his hands, would he? Perhaps she would've given in if he'd lingered any longer; instead she settled for loosely holding onto his broad shoulders.

His tone and question makes her draw in a sharp, shallow breath, her grip on his shoulders tightening. In a low whisper that betrays more than she knows, she answers,

"What if I said I do?"

But she doesn't try to hold him in place--she'd like for them to finish this, after all.

She does as she's told when he pulls away, keeping her arms flush to her sides as he measures her chest. Her eyes are on his hands; anticipating, almost tempting. Unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed that he did nothing.

But when he gazes at with that soft affection, she can't help but soften too. A tender smile curls her lips and this time she's the one that moves closer, her fingers trailing down his arms until she finds his hands. She intertwines their fingers.

"Hmm... You might have said something not too long ago," she says, teasing. "I don't think you like the way I look as much as I like the way you look, though."

"Working on a new project. I need to have some data in place to go off of." He explains as his hands fall slowly to her hips, not missing the opportunity to let them fall a little farther than needed, but he does indeed actually need her measurements, and notes the correct numeral and has to step away to write it down, and returns to her.

His hands slide across her upper back, there's strength there that he's glad for. Nimble fingers graze against her upper bicep on one arm while he takes note of its shape and takes that number too.

"You're strong, Miss." He lets his lips fall to her ear. "You're beautiful."
