Alford Plea: A guilty plea containing a protestation of innocence.
or
Where you knew that fucking your boss could notย possiblyย end well, but you did it anyway, because what else were you going to do?ย Not fuck him?
__
THEN
He wants to kiss you.
For what feels like the thousandth time that night, Simon Riley finds his attention inadvertently drawn to his chef de partie, and itโs getting ridiculous.ย Embarrassing.ย Reckless.
He finds that his eyes linger on the soft lines bracketing your mouth when you smile widely, genuinely, the way you lean forward to hear the bartender over the chaos of the bar, the way it makes your skirt ride up on the backs on your thighs.ย How, whatever you say makes the bartender giggle and soon, youโre almost hanging across the bar,ย your heads close together in an intense conversationย like youโre best friends plotting the end of the world.ย ย ย ย ย ย
Simonโs attention is dragged away from you and back to the table, and from that point forward, the evening turns raucous.ย Though most of the staff are supposed to be back at work bright and early the next morning, the mood is relaxed and the alcohol is free-flowing and discounted.ย
But his eyes never drift too far from you.ย Fuck, he wants to kiss you, and itโs making him think stupid thoughts.ย ย
He watches you, trying to think of the right combination of words to say to you that will make you open to him the way youโve opened up to the rest of them. ย Simonโs sure of what he wants but heโs in dire need of the courage for it.ย Thereโs a power differential, heโs your employer, and youโve finally started to get along with him.ย
Well.ย Youโre not at each otherโs throats all the time now.ย
He looks down at his drink at the sobering thought and hums noncommittally at the tale Soapโs regalling, but when he looks back up, youโre sitting on a bar stool by yourself, looking down at your phone. Now thereโs an opportunity, he thinks to himself, as he stands up and gives the table a vague story about getting a refill.ย ย
When heโs at the bar, he has barely a second before you use one gorgeous, bare leg to hook around a bar stool and pull it closer to you.ย Your eyes are mischievous, he thinks, bright and shiny and fucking gorgeous, and maybeโฆmaybe heโll just stay with you for a drink.ย Check on you, see how youโre settling in at work.ย Thatโs all.ย Heโs your employer, youโve both been drinking, youโre both rotaโd on for work tomorrowโฆthe whole thing would be too awkward.ย A bad idea, if heโs ever had one.ย ย
But then you throw a roguish grin at him and what heโs wanted all alongโto kiss you?ย With one smile, youโve just changed itโyouโve just turned it into a language in his head.ย
____
Youโre funny, he realises.ย In fact, thereโs so many things about you that heโs never noticed while youโve been at work, while heโs been too busy barking orders at you or throwing specs at you or breathing down your neck while youโre plating up. ย Youโre funny and dorky and your smile isโฆkind of perfect.
And tonight, youโre different with him.ย Youโre relaxed and the alcoholโs made you bolder andโGod help himโyouโre flirting with Simon.ย Youโre laughing and teasing and taunting him, and youโre not too far gone, but you are just tipsy enough to miss when Simon casually switches to drinking water instead.ย ย
It feels like only moments later, so lost you are in each other, that itโs last calls at the barโthe two of you have long since given up on the rest of the staffโand youโre grabbing his hand, intertwining your fingers, and pushing him into a taxi before you stumble in yourself.
Youโre laughing with him, at him, and it feels like the easiest thing in the world.ย Simon is a mess of instinct and adrenaline and the rush of discovering this new side to youโthey all blend together in his mind and his body, and he doesnโt ever ever want it to stop.ย So heโs pleasantly surprised when you grab his face, still babbling, still so sassy and youโre about to kiss him, you practically pounce on him butโ
โNo making sex in my taxi!โย ย ย
The speed with which you retreat from Simon leaves him stunned for a second, breathless and when his eyes blink open, your eyes are bright, mischief making the corners of your eyes crease, and youโre using both your hands to stifle the laugh that bubbles in your throat.
Simon laughs and leans back against the seat.ย โAlright mate, no making sex in your taxi,โ he calls out to the driver.ย He turns to you with mock seriousness, trying very hard to hide a smile of his own. โNo making sex.โ
โIn his taxi,โ you murmur, looking straight at him, and fuck.ย You say it like a promise.
โIn his taxi,โ Simon repeats, dumbstruck.ย There is no ground under his feet, and free-falling has never felt so effortless.
____
Youโre still giggling uncontrollably, sayingโฆsomething, struggling with your keys, still failing to open the door to your flat, and Simon finds his arms reaching towards you, almost of their own accord.ย He turns you to face him, one hand cradling your face.ย His other arm hesitates, then hovers, then settles over your waist, naturally moulding to your contours and lines, and you take one step closer to him.ย Into him.ย ย
Simon doesnโt know if itโs the alcohol in your system making you loose and pliant and so fucking warm, but he finds that he doesnโt care.ย For what feels like the first time in hours, youโve shut up.ย Youโre not giggling or recounting stories or teasing him.ย No, youโre doing that thing that women do that drive men like Simon insane.ย Youโre alternating between looking at his eyes and his lips.ย Waiting for him to make the first move.ย ย ย ย You lick your own chapped lips, and this is it, Simon thinks.ย Heโs going to kiss you now, and nothing about your relationship will ever be the same.ย He finds the thought scary, unsettlingโฆbut all doubt dissipates like tendrils of smoke when he finds that your eyes close and you lean forward all the same.
____
NOW
Youโre wriggling against Simon, trying to get comfortable, but he only grunts, and his arm tightens in response against your chest. ย The unconscious action makes you smile and blush.ย Like a moron.
Youโd ended up napping on the floor after the nightโsโฆactivities, and youโve got your back to his chest while his back leans against the legs of the deep fat fryer.ย Simonโs been kind enough to put his whites down under the two of you, so you have the particular privilege of leaning against his bare chest.ย ย
And itโsโฆnice.ย Comforting.ย ย
The momentโs ruined with the blaring sound of your alarm going off on your phoneโit startles you and you curse out loud as you try to shut it off.ย He moans in his sleep and you freeze, a quiet whisper of fucking shit leaving you anyway, before he settles.ย Youโre just starting to relax against him when his arm squeezes around you again, and warm breath is at your neck.
โYou are the noisiest woman I know,โ he murmurs and kisses your neck slowly.ย Gentle kisses, open-mouthed and slow, so you can relish in the feeling of his hot breath on your skin.ย He takes his time and all rational thought flees your brain as you relax into it, moaning softly, making his arm tighten around you some more.ย ย
He flips you around slowly, deliberately, giving you the opportunity to refuse him, but his mouth stays blessedly on your skin through it so the thought of protestation doesnโt even enter your mind.ย When youโre finally facing him, your first thought is how the streak of early morning sunlight entering the kitchen lights up the brown of his eyes, making them look like the exact shade of honey you prefer in your tea.
โYou didnโt mind that so much last night, Chef.โ
โNoisy,โ he whispers against the skin of your jaw.ย โInfuriating and fucking pretty and talented, bratty and loud andโฆโย Your loud gasp at his audacity only makes him laugh and he draws you closer to kiss you.ย He kisses you with all of the previous nightโs passion and then some, and youโre particularly enjoying the way his hand moves down your spine, settling on your ass.
โYou didnโt mind,โ you remind him against his lips.ย โIn fact, I remember you wanting me to be louder, wanting me to say your name when you were inside meโฆdidnโt you, Simon?โ
He groans into your kiss and you gasp when he smacks your ass, then squeezes it.ย โInfuriating,โ he repeats without any real heat behind his words.
โYeah.ย I think you liked how loud I wasโฆthink you liked it the other night tooโฆโ
โAnd Iโll love it tonight.โ
That stops you in your tracks.ย โTonight?ย Youโre awfully optimistic about getting laid again.โ
โYeah.โย Itโs all he says, before heโs kissing you again.ย The man is not not arrogant a day in his life, and you find that it suits you just fine.ย
ย โWe should probably get out of here,โ you whisper.ย โLetโs go home, Iโll make some breakfast.ย We have to be back here inโฆโ you groan as you note the time, โ..two hours.โย
Simon pauses slightly and laces your fingers between his.ย โYou donโt want to talk about this?โ
โDo you?โ
โYou work for me.ย And fraternising withโโ
โFraternizing?โย You canโt help but laugh at him, and you really have to bite it back when he glares at you.ย โSorry.โ
Another smack to your ass for the cheek youโre giving him.ย โJust for that, Iโm putting you on the rota for the next two Sundays.โย He swallows.ย โYouโre being easier than I thought youโd be.ย This is easier than I thought itโd be.โ
โI work for you.ย Youโre my boss, Iโm a woman, and if people find out, itโs not going to look good.โย You push his hair back from his face and bring your lips against his again.ย โBut, I still want this.ย Do you?โ
The sound that leaves him is pure disbelief, but he kisses you anyway.ย It goes on for a while, and youโre left gasping against his mouth when he rearranges you to sit right on top of dick.ย His dick which is definitely, ahem, awake, twitching against your clothed crotch. ย When his mouth moves to your ear, you hold your breath in anticipation.ย โI like crรจme fraรฎche in mโscrambled eggs.โ
โYouโre a bastard,โ you gasp, quickly undoing his trousers and seating yourself on him in record time and, oh.ย Oh.ย Heโs deliciously hard inside you. ย The shocked noise that leaves his throat makes you gush between your legs and he is instantly fucking up into you, just like heโs discovered you like.ย โSuch a bastard, Simon,โ you moan.
โYou like it though,โ he huffs.ย โKnow yโdo.ย The whole neighbourhood knows you like this.โย His words are casual, but heโs fucking you in earnest now, one arm holding you in place, while the other caresses the back of your hair.ย โKnow what this sweet cunt likes, pretty.โ
โFuckโฆโ
โKnow how you l-like to be fucked.ย Gonna make yโcome, just like this.โ
The words make you blink your eyes open and look at him.ย Heโs beautiful like this, his eyes warm and affectionate despite the intimacy of what youโre doing, despite how dirty this whole thing is.ย โFeels so good, sweet girl.ย You want tโcome on my cock, love?โ
โSimon,โ you gasp in response.ย Thereโs a small, delicate spot inside you, and he hits it, nails it, over and over and over, making you feel like this is how youโll lose your mind.ย ย ย
โSuch a bratty fuckinโ attitude, so confident and sexy in mโkitchen, but you like being bossed around, donโt you?ย Like beinโ told what to do.โ
โSimon,โ you whimper, and itโs the only word you know how to say any more.ย Your helplessness seems to encourage him, spur him on, and he bites your neck.ย He doesnโt apply any real pressure, and his tongue instantly salves over where his teeth were to soothe your skin, but itโs enough for you.ย Itโs more than enough for you, and you cry out, clenching over his cock. ย His rhythm falters and the sound he makes ends up sounding like heโs straddling the line between heaven and hell right now.ย
โGonna make a mess ofโyโlove,โ he moans.ย โGonna come so deep, gonna stuff you full.ย And youโll keep me inside you, wonโt you?โย Youโre groaning a yes, please, yes Simon please before heโs even done asking you.ย It doesnโt take too long after that, and with a half-shout, Simonโs coming deep inside you.ย He thrusts into you through it, pushing it all deep inside you while he shudders and shivers through the aftershocks.ย ย
You lie back down on his chest, trying to calm your breathing but watch as he tilts his head up to the ceiling, mouthing a silent fuck.ย A small, satisfied smile breaks out on your face and you close your eyes, but they fly open at his blurted words.ย ย ย ย ย
โI want tโkeep doing this.โ
โIโyeah, me too.โ
Simonโs eyes dart around the kitchen quickly, as though suddenly realising where the two of you were.ย โI want to see where this can go.ย But.ย I dont want yโto feel like Iโm takinโ advantageโโ
You grab his hand and bring it down to your pussy where youโre dripping. ย Almost instantly, like itโs a reflex, he starts to toy with your clit and you jerk from the stimulation.ย
โShut up,โ you moan.ย โTake advantage whenever you like.โ
โDirty girl,โ he grits out, and uses two fingers to gather his come and shove it back into you.ย Your eyes fly open at the action and you choke.ย โYโwant this?โ
โMmhm, yeah I want this.โ
You donโt realise it at that moment, but youโve both started a chain of events from which there is no going back, for the both of you.ย ย
You donโt realise it but six months from this exact momentโwhen Simon proposes, in this very kitchen, by this very deep fat fryerโyouโll think back to this.ย Youโll think about how all your life, you thought you knew what sex was, what love was, and the difference between the two.ย
โStill gonna ride your ass for your limp salads and burnt roux, Chef.โ
โGood,โ you say, grinning.ย โAnd Iโm still gonna make a better ragu than you, Chef.โ
Simon scoffs in that patented way that is so Simon, and you canโt help but grin wider.ย โGonna make you work three Sundays, love.โ
โYes, Chef,โ you murmur, and kiss him again.
And there it is.ย Thatโs what youโve begun.ย Sex and love and Simonโtheyโre all about to become the same to you.
