“Yes, Sir,” she replied, and the call came to an end.
I returned the phone to the table, and by the time I looked up again, she was on her feet.
“What happened, Sir?” she asked.
This made me smile because of course, she was back in work mode. I, on the other hand, was in an incredibly good mood, because I could still smile when something so detrimental had happened. But after the way I had come so hard inside her, I didn’t think anything could upset me for a while unless the building was on fire.
“Data breach,” I replied, aching to go over to her but needing to maintain some element of distance for my sanity. Going over to her would make all of this seem too romantic, and I didn’t want that just yet. I was already crossing the line by falling asleep with her, but there was no way that I was going to come and then have the energy to kick her out of bed. If she wanted to leave on her own accord, then she could, but I wasn’t going to kick her out. Plus, there was something so restful about having her warmth and scent around me. It was so freaking wonderful, and it made me sleep better. I didn’t want to let go of that, at least not yet.
“They were trying to call me as well,” she said. “I think my phone was ringing from the other room. I'll go check it.”
She started to hurry away toward the front door, but she remembered that she was practically naked and stopped midway. Then she turned around and returned. I shook my head at her, and as our eyes met, she seemed a bit startled at the smile on my face. Her expression was one of confusion for a second, and then she was on her way. But I needed to understand what that had been about, so I stepped out.
“Wait,” I said, and she tried. “Come over here.”
She stared nervously at the door, but then ultimately, she came to lie next to me. I was completely naked, so I ensured she was pressed up against me so she could feel how excited I was beginning to get just at the mere sight of her. Leaning down, I kissed her and wove my tongue with hers. She melted into it, grabbing my arms to stabilize herself.
By the time we parted, she was once again calm, and perhaps even a little disoriented.
“What was your expression about?” I asked.
“What expression?” she replied.
“Before you headed out the door. You seemed surprised and confused.”
She stared into my eyes, and then she replied.
“I was a bit surprised that you seemed so calm. Data breaches are code red, aren’t they? It's extremely serious, or… maybe they already have it under control.”
“Barely,” I replied, and her eyes widened even further. “Don’t worry,” I smiled. “We’ll handle it, plus I was somewhat amused because of how comical you looked when disoriented.”
Her eyes widened then as her hand went to her hair.
“Holy shit,” she swore. “I look a mess, don't I?”
Before I could even respond, she was out the door and scrambling into her room.
Shaking my head, I picked up my phone once again and stared out of the window in thought. I deeply suspected who was behind this breach, and now, so focused on it, I realized that I was slowly becoming upset.
I picked up the phone once again and called the head of our IT department, Marcus Leigh.

Ihad trained for this. I was ready for this, but it was unfortunate that my sex-hazed brain kept tripping over the bed sheets until I eventually just had to let go of it completely and grab a robe instead. I found my phone and laptop sitting on my desk and immediately returned Marcus’s call. He didn't pick up, so I called Meredith, and she immediately did.
“Why the hell are you unreachable?” she instantly lashed out.
I tried to control my temper, mainly because I was still groggy and because I wanted to remain in a good mood, but I could tell already that she was going to make this as difficult for me as possible.
“It’s late; I was asleep.”
“What do you mean it’s late? It's not even midnight there, and your boss is still up.”
Sighing, I waited until her annoyance had passed so that we could continue on with our work.
“Do you know what to do?” she asked.
