He'll have to remember to thank her later for reading his mind.
He's also going to have to do some serious self-explaining as to how she managed to break him down so quickly, and with so little resistance on his part. He's supposed to be the captain of the good ship Egomaniac and she's got him fumbling like a kid with a model boat. But that's Beckett, for you, and she works in mysterious and often surprising ways.
Doesn't mean that he's going to let her take the lead the whole time. If there's one thing about their relationship that both of them have come to expect, it's that there's bound to be competition. He folds a hand in poker and she knows about it; she folds and he's got an APB out on her motives. They're constantly crawling over one another to out-do, outwit and wrest back control.
He pushes his heels against the bottom of the bed, working the cuffs off his trousers over his ankles. He reaches for her wrist, pulling her up the length of his body, his arm locked around the small of her back. If he surprised her, it'll be worth it and he'll conceal the shape of her shock with a hard, hungry kiss.
