Havoc

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie suddenly felt bad for embarrassing him and felt her stomach crash. God, she was such an idiot and she had ruined the entire night. "Okay. Well, at least come lay in bed with me for a little well," she muttered before scurrying away from the door. She practically fell into bed, sort of feeling like crying at the atrocity that was this night. What felt so romantic and so intimate before had come crashing down in front of her and she almost wanted to laugh; this is what her whole life was like. Why was she surprised?

She didn't know how long he'd be, but she hoped that he would actually take her up on the offer to cuddle. Maybe they could salvage something of this night, some sort of sentiment in everything before they had to get back to work tomorrow. She felt her skin crawl a little because she wasn't even sure how long it'd be before someone else touched her and not in way Derek did. How long till all of the training was complete and she was being sent off to someone else?

Derek felt his stomach drop as Charlie raced to leave the bathroom, leaving him alone once more. The whole entire ordeal was horrible for both parties, and he never imagined the night ending up this way. They were in a seemingly ephemeral mood until it came to a halting stop in the bedroom. From those thoughts, his body seemed to deflate all together, and this solved his problem. A small sigh escaped Derek's lips as he moved to wash his hands, feeling disappointment begin to course through his being. Maybe there would be some way to salvage the night.

Padding back into the bedroom, he picked up his discarded pairs of boxers and slid them back on. He decided to take Charlie's invitation, pushing back the covers to enter into the bed. Derek moved to wrap an arm around her waist and drew her closer to him till her back pressed against his chest. Inhaling, he took in the scent of her perfume once more and placed a gentle kiss against her head. "It's fine, Charlie," He reassured her once more.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie sunk into the feeling of her skin against Derek's and closed her eyes to allow herself to enjoy this moment if only for tonight. She honestly couldn't remember ever being held like this and there was something so safe about it that she wondered how long the feeling would last. Would she wake up tomorrow and they'd pretend this never happened or would everything be different? She felt her nerves flutter because at the end of the day (or a extremely sexual and awkward night), Derek was a business man through and through.

She wanted nothing more than to make this last, but her constant ebb and flow of emotions this night had made her exhausted. Her eyes felt heavy and she drifted asleep to his words. 'It's fine,' he said. While she had a million questions on whether or not it was fine, for this perfect polaroid of a moment, it was.

@ honeysucklelips

Derek settled into the silence between them, letting his eyes gently flutter close. Despite their charming yet messy night together, he enjoyed their cuddle and wished that they could spend more nights together. That would go against all of his father's rules though, upsetting the balance between his work and his private life. So, how would he proceed with this situation? Derek was completely unsure. He knew what the correct decision would be, but he also knew what the right decision would be. All Derek was certain of was that he could not bring himself to let go of Charlie. She was an amazing woman from head to toe with a personality to match. With all of these thoughts inside of his mind, He slowly found himself slipping into the haze of a sleep, relaxing his arms around Charlie.

The following morning, Derek awoke to find that they had shifted around slightly in their sleep. His legs were completely entangled with her own. Now, they were facing each other, but his arms still lingered around her waist. Derek reached out to let his thumb brush against her cheek, enjoying how peaceful she looked. He did not want to disturb the moment nor did he want to leave his bed, but they both had work to do the rest of the day. Unfortunately, they still had training to do for Anderson.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie woke to Derek's alarm screeching loudly, despite it still being dark outside and she wondered why he even got up this early. She groaned for she could not remember the last time that she woke up when it was still dark outside. Derek seemed to be accustomed to the early rise and she wondered how he ever got up so early for a job like this. Of course, it made sense that he'd get up early for their last meeting was at 7 am. Somehow, it still all didn't seem real and it was a lot easier for her to fall back asleep than to face the awkwardness that would be this morning.

"Whhhyyy is this happening," she groaned again, pulling a pillow over her head as the lights were flicked on. "Let me sleep," she whimpered.

@ honeysucklelips

Exiting the bed, he pulling on a t-shirt and sweatpants for morning use only. Derek wandered downstairs into the kitchen area to start making scrambled eggs, which was one of the few foods that he could make. He cracked the eggs into a bowl while the pan started to heat with a touch of oil. Hearing the light sizzle of the eggs, he started to push them around the a spatula. It was only a few minutes before the eggs were finished, and Derek scrapped them off into a pan onto a plate. Voila. All that was left was the coffee, which he left to brew while the infamous time struct and his alarm went off.

Derek moved up the stairs and entered inside of his bedroom, flicking on the lights, which earned from a groan. Even if the blackout curtains battled the sun, the lights would not be tamed. "Charlie, time to get out of bed," He warned, stepping closer to the bed. "I have breakfast," Derek tempted, reaching out to grab the pillow over her head. Knowing everything that happened last night, he tried to ignore the tension still in the room. Was it sexual or awkward or a combination of both? Derek could not place it, but he attempted to ignore it and remain as natural as possible.

@ Dandy Darling;
"It's so early," she whined, pushing herself further into the comforter and sandwich of pillows. She was trying to be playful and she was trying to hide her blush at the fact he had made her breakfast. No one had ever done that for her before and she was endlessly surprised by Derek and his many abilities. Also, his ability to completely ignore how rich he is since he could totally afford to have someone bring breakfast.

"What kind of breakfast?" She asked, peaking the corner of her face out behind the pillow. Honestly, she could stay like this in his bed forever, but everyone (especially her roommate) is probably wondering where she is. She didn't even know how she'd get back home without having to explain why she's wearing last nights outfit. Everything was so complicated, but breakfast...that was easy.

@ honeysucklelips

Derek cracked a smile as she peaked out from behind the pillow, showing her adorable face. For once, Derek had someone else to share his breakfast with and wanted to have some time alone with Charlie. The last thing he wanted was to have another person lingering around them to make breakfast. "Scrambled eggs with coffee," He responded, grabbing the pillow and tossing it off to the side. Now that sunlight filled the room, Derek could see the remnants of her makeup from the previous night, feeling a pang of disappointment and regret. "Let's go," He stated, gathering her up into his arms and picking her up from the bed.

Making his way over to the kitchen, he settled Charlie down into a seat on the island before promptly serving the breakfast. "There's some bread in the refrigerator if you want some toast," He added on, taking a sip of his coffee. Derek reached into his pocket to check his phone, reading over the various emails that poured into his inbox. A small frown passed over his features, reading over the email from Anderson. It was another request for an update on Charlie's situation and to inform him that the event was pushed to a day earlier.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie squealed when Derek lifted her into his arms, feeling again like her life had become a movie if just for a moment. In their drunken stupor, Charlie had neglected to look at the rest of this home and so, as Derek carried her (oh so romantically), she took in the site. It was beautiful and spacious, decorated as much like a man cave as possible: dark leather and wood, but classy nonetheless.

Charlie smiled when he plopped her on the counter. She watched him take out his phone and let work ruin a morning that had barely begun. She hopped down, walking over to him and plucking the phone from his hands. She slipped into the waistband of her underwear before slipping her arms around his neck. "Let's just have breakfast," she said, making puppy dog eyes at him. "Even if you're some weirdo who keeps his bread in the fridge," she said before rising up on her tippy toes to plant a soft good-morning kiss to his lips.

She let her hands fall and walked towards the fridge. "And you can have your phone back when you come and get it," she said with a smirk, though she said it like it was nothing at all.

@ honeysucklelips

About to respond the message, Derek soon found that his phone had disappeared from his hands. "Wait," he protested, watching the phone slide right into the waistband of her underwear. A small sigh escaped his lips since it did not seem like he was about to reclaim it any time soon. Well, unless he dared to take it back, and he did. "Alright, alright," Derek responded in defeat, unable to deny the twinkle in her eyes. "And it keeps the bread fresh longer since I don't really eat breakfast that often," He defended, watching her move over toward the refrigerator.

Derek waited a moment for Charlie to be preoccupied with finding the bread before sauntering over toward her, determined to take back his iPhone. "That I will," he stated, coming up behind her a few inches between them. Letting his hand slowly graze her thigh, Derek pushed up her borrowed shirt until he spotted the phone. His hand slid over her hip bone before moving down to reclaim his phone. "Thank you," he whispered, placing a kiss against her neck.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie felt her skin tingle and all her nerves hit her stomach like a ton of rocks when he kissed, but it was such a good spot to kiss. She sort of felt breathless and also stupid for being breathless after one kiss, but he just seemed to know how to do things right. He knew where to put his hands and his mouth so that it was about her and it just drove her crazy. Despite the nerves and the reminder of last night's total failure, Charlie just wanted him, in the least pure sense of the word.

She took a few steps forward, closing the space between them and pushing Derek against the counter. She let her arms slip around his neck again before she kissed him so deeply that she felt a little light headed. She let her teeth graze his bottom lip and let one of her hands fall to slide down his chest and rest there. She wanted to get rid of all the tension from last night and make it known that he had done everything right; it was Charlie, she wasn't ready. But God, did she wish she was.

@ honeysucklelips

Derek soon found himself pressed up against the counter as she claimed his lips, placing his hands back onto it to balance himself. Charlie was a whirlwind in more ways than one. Reaching out, he wrapped an arm around her waist to bring her flush against him. He could feel the tension around them completely melt and settle into a similar passion from the previous night. Derek only wished that they could bask in the moment, forgetting the rest of their responsibilities. If only things were that simple.

Once they pulled away from the kiss, Derek found himself breathless but wanting more. He peered down into her eyes and leaned forward to place a gentle kiss against her lips again. "If we don't stop now, we're never going to eat breakfast," Derek admitted with a small chuckle.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie laid gentle kisses on his chest and lifted onto her tip toes to kiss his neck. She let her breath brush against his neck before pulling back to smirk. "What a shame," she whispered, letting her hands wander to his waist band, anticipating his reaction. She already felt her own excitement and just assumed that it is much safer here, far more pleasant than the perfume and sex infested place she called 'home.'

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day," she muttered, removing her hands and releasing him from her hold. She turned back to the bread, pulling out two slices. To say that teasing was something Charlie enjoyed was an understatement and often times, made her time with 'clients' easier. This was different though, this was far more enjoyable than a client.

@ honeysucklelips

Derek sighed out in pleasure as her lips danced across his chest, placing one last kiss against his neck. "It is," he trailed off in agreement but was only enticed by her actions. His body awaited in anticipation of what was next, enjoying the feeling of her touch. As her fingers lingered near the waist band of his sweats, Derek's body reacted accordingly, and he licked his lips in excitement. Charlie was close. Very close. Until she pulled away and moved back toward the refrigerator, leaving Derek utterly unsatisfied.

For a moment, he paused to register what had just occurred. "Not that important," he muttered underneath his breath, experiencing a similar problem from the previous night. Although, this time he was embracing it. "You're not getting away that easily," he remarked, stepping closer to pin her between him and the refrigerator.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie smirked when he pushed against the wall, feeling a sort of excitement she had let slip through her fingers last night. She liked the feeling of his skin against her own and pressed up against him like this, she felt the heat radiating off of him and it was completely enticing. "I'm not going anywhere," she whispered, leaning carefully close to him. She just wanted to hover, just out of reach of his lips, just enough to tantalize him.

She was always going to be just out of reach for him, just slightly unacceptable, and always (always) his employee. She wondered, for just a split second, how they would ever go back to employee and boss and if all this still qualified as practice. She closed her eyes, waiting for a kiss but also trying to shake off all the negative thoughts in her head. For someone who tried to stay positive, she found it increasingly difficult in her present predicament. She had never been involved in something some complicate before in her life. It used to be easy and numb, but it was intricate and heated now.

@ honeysucklelips

Derek felt her breath brush against his lips, enticing him to eliminate the gap. Leaning forward, he brushed lips softly against her own once. Then once more. His hunger for her was practically insatiable, and Derek made it quite clear. His body's desires were pronounced as their bodies pressed up against each other. There was electricity crackling in the air between them, reminding him of the mood from the previous night. Derek wanted to correct the disaster from last night and do this properly.

In the back of his mind, Derek wondered how this would end. It would be impossible for him to completely cloak his feelings toward her, especially with Anderson lurking around. According to Anderson, he already owned Charlie's body regardless of Derek's wishes. The mere thought of Anderson laying a hand on her sent him down a slippery slope. He never imagined that their relationship would have escalated to something of this caliber.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie felt her breath itch as he closed the space between them almost instantly. She had never wanted someone's hands on her so badly before and being this close, she felt the heat radiating off of him. There was so much heat between them and she had never felt this sort of electricity with anyone she'd ever had encounters with. To be frank, they had no gotten very far last night yet she still felt an intense need to belong to him. She wanted his hands all over her, his lips owning every inch of skin and she wanted to scream his name. "I think, I'm ready," she breathed against his lips, letting her hands fall to his waistband. Unlike last night, her anxiety was replaced with an insatiable need to feel him everywhere. She closed the gap between their lips once again, pulling him as close as she possibly could though he didn't move much. She pushed everything else out of her mind: it was this moment, this person and that was what mattered.

@ honeysucklelips

Derek paused at Charlie's words, completely caught off guard by her sudden resolution. Although, she did not give him much of chance for him to register it as she claimed his lips once more. Not that Derek was against it. He was devoted to this, whatever it was. The passion between them compared to nothing else he ever felt, even including the previous night. He wrapped his arms around her waist to pick her up and gently laid her down on the island, never letting their lips separate. His tongue brushed against her bottom lip while his hands pushed up her borrowed shirt to feel her skin flush against his palms. Derek was ready for Charlie at any time, but he wanted her to be sure that she was ready. They had a limited amount of time together, but he did not want her to feel pressured.

@ Dandy Darling;
Charlie could have cut the sexual tension with a knife and all of it was heightened by how completely forbidden this was. She felt the cold sting of granite against her skin and Derek's warm hands to counter the sting of it all. She felt herself melting underneath his kisses and his fingers. She moved so easily underneath him, so hungrily against his lips and there was something about this that felt different from last night, felt perfect. She moved his hands from moving up her torso to back down, to feel and embrace the excitement of it all. She moved her lips from against his to his neck, finding his collarbone and leaving a mark, just a reminder of all that this was and was never to be again.
