“I can’t do that, there is no fucking way.” You pushed the papers on your desk from one side to the other for the sixth time in five minutes. “Please, please, please, I’ll be good, I promise!” Adrian put his hands on the desk, leaning forward. “No! I could lose my job over this!” You put your index finger on his forehead, pushing him back again. “Who cares? It’s a boring job anyways!”
You stood up and walked around the desk. “I said no. Why do you want to spend the night in the museum anyway? I have never seen you around here except for when you get on my nerves, and you always tell me how fucking boring it is.” “Well…I saw a movie and there is a theory I want to test…It’s for science, kind of what you’re doing.”
You had started working at the museum a few months ago, writing a paper on some of the exhibits. The only part Adrian had ever been interested in were the weapons and the small section on natural history.
“Please look me in the eye and tell me you’re not talking about Night at the fucking Museum with Ben Stiller.” Adrian’s green eyes bore into yours. “I might be.” “You want me to put my job and my research on the line because you want to see if the exhibits come to life!?” “Yes.” “I said no.”
You pushed him out of your office, ignoring his protests. If you didn’t stop this whole thing right now, there would be a good chance you’d let him talk you into it despite the risk it put you at. You had your life together, this new job was great, you loved the research, but there was always Adrian Chase, ready to take your hand and walk you over the edge.
You’d known him since high school and for some reason he stuck to you. You hated to admit it, but he was the only one who had ever been able to make you weak. Sure, there had been relationships, boyfriends, but the only one who truly knew how to push your buttons was Adrian.
Maybe it was the fact that he, wild card, chaotic, stood in such stark contrast to you, behaved, academic, that made you so drawn to him. You craved the danger. Of course, you knew what Adrian did in his free time.
After his initial hesitation to tell you, now he wouldn’t shut up about it. The worst thing about it was that you weren’t even as off-put by it as you were supposed to be. You always pretended to try and keep him at arm’s length, but the truth was you loved every second he was glued to you.
After throwing Adrian out of your office, you’d sat down at your desk, working on your paper. When you looked at the clock it was already way too late. The museum had long closed, you were the last person here except for a security guy.
You walked through the dark, empty halls when you heard a noise from the natural history exhibit. You froze. No one was supposed to be here. You knew the security guy was in his office, he always was.
You debated if you should go and check it out by yourself. It was probably nothing, if you didn’t look, you wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about it until tomorrow.
Careful you made your way to the small hall in the back of the museum. There it was again, that sound…This was a bad idea. It was probably Adrian’s bad influence that drove you to such reckless behavior. If this was a burglar there was no way you could stop him anyway.
Even in the dark you could make out the silhouettes of the exhibits, stuffed animals that had gone extinct a long time ago. And a shadow that moved. You took a few more steps into the hall. The shadow was gone.
A hand was pressed over your mouth from behind, preventing you from screaming. Your heart was about to leap out of your chest. You wanted to do something, fight back, but you couldn’t move.
Just as you thought you might start crying, the person holding you spun you around and the fear immediately switched to fury. Adrian had let go of your mouth as he was sure you wouldn’t scream.
“Wait, before you say anything, I wasn’t planning on dragging you into this.” He held up his hands in front of him. “Adrian, what the fuck are you doing here, you almost gave me a heart attack!” “Well, I told you, I wanted to spend the night to see if any of the animals would come to life.”
You rubbed your temples. “You have got to be fucking kidding me. How did you even get in without tripping the alarm?” A smirk spread on his face. “Well…you know how I am…” “You’re gonna get me in trouble!” “You see? This is exactly why I didn’t tell you; no one would have known, and you wouldn’t have had to worry.”
You stared at him, unsure if you wanted to scream at him, or never talk to him again. Finally, you grabbed his arm, dragging him to your office. “You do realize, that, apart from the part that this is absolutely impossible, the animals wouldn’t come to life anyway, you watched the movie, right? We don’t have a magic tablet or whatever.”
Adrian seemed to think about it. “I guess you’re right, I didn’t even think of that.” “Oh my god…one day I will lose my job because of you.”
Back in your office you let yourself fall into the chair behind your desk. Adrian sat on the chair in front of the desk. For a while neither of you spoke. The scene was reminiscent of a student in trouble getting sent to the dean’s office.
After a while, Adrian leaned forward. “So, what are we gonna do?” You groaned. “I don’t know. If we leave now, our security guy might see and then I have to answer for that.” “I get the feeling you’re mad at me.” “Because I am!” “Sorry…”
Adrian looked at you with big eyes and you could feel your heart soften again. “Stop fucking looking at me like that.” You murmured. “Like what…?” “Like that…God, you have no idea…”
You glanced at the clock. The museum would open again in just a few hours. You let out a sigh. “Ok, we’ll stay the night, but I’m doing this to save my owns ass, not to reward your behavior, understood?” Adrian nodded with a big smile on his face. He always bounced back so fast it was almost scary.
“So…what do we do until then?” Adrian sat in the chair almost cheerful at the aspect of spending the entire night with you. Your eyes followed him carefully. You knew what he was about to propose. “Don’t you dare say it.” You raised your finger, pointing at him.
“Why not, you liked it the last time?” His voice had become almost whiny. “And I told you last time it would be the only time.” “But why?” “Because…ugh fine.”
You opened the drawer of your desk, taking out two long pieces of fabric and two coins. You handed one of the blindfolds and one of the coins to Adrian. “Alright, you hide the coin somewhere on your body and I hide mine. Whoever finds the other coin first wins. Loser has to buy dinner for a week.”
Adrian beamed as he took off his glasses and put on his blindfold. You followed him. You thought about a good place to put the coin. Last time you had put it in your shoe, and you had lost so fast it was almost embarrassing. You slipped the coin into your bra. There was no way Adrian would go there that fast and you’d have enough time to find his coin.
“Ready?” You asked. You couldn’t see a thing, but you knew your office well enough to know how to move without running into things. “Ready.”
Carefully you followed the sound of his voice with your hands stretched out until you could feel his sweater. In a matter of seconds his hands were all over you. You patted down his sweater, searching his pockets, you were sure he wouldn’t hide the coin somewhere so obvious, but you needed to check, and so did he.
After both of you had covered all the surface areas above the clothes, you could feel his hands slip under your shirt. The feelings of his fingertips running over your skin gave you goosebumps. You followed, pulling his sweater out of the hem of his jeans.
“Fuck!” Adrian hissed. “Your hands are cold!” You giggled. “Sorry.” You weren’t, not really.
You ran your hand over his torso, knowing full well there was no way he could hide the coin there. You could feel the heat pool at your core. This was already lasting way longer than last time and you hadn’t really thought about what it might do to you.
Adrian’s hand wandered down your back and under the hem of your pants. You could feel your face burning, but you had agreed that just for the game, there were no places off-limit.
“Aren’t you gonna look in my shoes?” Your voice was a lot breathier, than you would have liked. “Nah, you did that last time, you’re not gonna make the same mistake twice.” There was something about his voice as well, you couldn’t exactly place it.
You were so caught up in the feeling of Adrian’s hands frantically searching your body for the coin, you had almost forgotten that you needed to do so as well. You were standing so close; you could feel his breath on your neck.
“Why aren’t you searching? This is no fun if you just let me win.” At this point he was almost whispering. You didn’t know how to explain that having him touch you like that rendered you unable to move, your brain had just disconnected.
“I’m not letting you win…” An involuntary sigh escaped you. Adrian didn’t move. Fuck. As much as this was a game with great sexual potential, you had been pretty sure if there was anyone who would not take it in that direction, it would be Adrian. How wrong you had been.
You still couldn’t see, what was going on, so when you felt a pair of soft lips connect with your neck a surprised moan escaped you. Without a word Adrian started sucking and biting your neck. “Careful, don’t leave a mark, I can’t go to work like that…”
Adrian’s other hand rested on the small of your back, still under your shirt, pulling you closer. You melted under his touch, and you could feel yourself getting wet. You had fantasized about this, a lot, but never in a million years had you thought this would happen, not with him.
Your hands searched for his face, guiding him to you. Before you could pull him into a kiss, Adrian already crashed his lips into yours. Due to the fact neither of you could see, he landed somewhere on the corner of your mouth, quickly moving so he could take your bottom lip between his teeth.
“We could do this the entire night…” He whispered into your mouth with a raspy voice. You could feel your knees getting weak, so you moved back until you hit the edge of your desk. Without hesitation, Adrian lifted you up on the desk, pushing stacks of paper to the ground. You tried to care, but you couldn’t.
In a matter of seconds, Adrian’s hands were on you again. It was a firm touch, a bit rough, almost possessive. Your fingers ran through his hair, lightly pulling on it. You let your hands trail down his body to his belt. Adrian didn’t protest and you started fidgeting with it.
“Got it!”
Adrian’s hand had slipped under your bra, the now warm metal coin pressed between his fingertips and your breast. A whimper escaped you, as Adrian pulled his hands back. You slipped off your blindfold just to watch him with the coin wedged between two fingers and a triumphant smile on his face.
“Looks like you’re paying for dinner this week.” You didn’t know what to say. Then your gaze fell on Adrian’s chair. His coin was just lying there, he hadn’t even hidden it.
“You fucking cheated!” You pointed an accusatory finger at him. Adrian shrugged. “I would have won anyway. And you cheated as well, coming on to me like that.” “You started kissing me!” “Yeah, alright, and it was awesome.”
You crossed your arms in front of your chest. “I’m not paying for dinner. And next time you want to make out, just ask!” “Alright, wanna make out again?”
Before you could open your mouth, Adrian had put his hand on the desk leaning over you. He was so close again you could feel your breath hitch in your throat. “You would’ve had to pay for dinner anyway, I’m super broke at the moment.” He gave you a grin and you couldn’t help it.
You grabbed the collar of his sweater and pulled him down. “You’re lucky I like you so much.”
