You're the boss.

[Instead of taking her hand like he does with his customers, he reaches up to stroke her cheek.]

[momchester]

[Her eyes slip closed at the gentle touch and without thinking, she moves forward to kiss him softly.]

[hostage]

[He returns the kiss, slow and sweet, with his fingers brushing back through her hair. Even though he breaks the kiss when the power transfer's complete, he remains close.]

There you go.

[momchester]

[Letting out a soft breath, lips parted in an almost-smile.]

Perfect.

[She closes the hair's distance to kiss him again.]

[hostage]

[Wow, he's going to get into some trouble today, isn't he? Finding it very hard to care as he catches her lips with a bit more fervor this time.]

[momchester]

[Hard to care indeed. Her hands land on his neck, having no hair to tangle in, pulling him a little closer.]

[hostage]

[No resistance here. He's missed Mary. She's warm and kind and she doesn't know anything about him, which is nice sometimes, because she acts like he's someone else. Someone better. His hands find her hips and he just holds her, savors that kiss, and loses himself in it for a moment.]

[momchester]

[Mary's missed him too. He's sweet and troubled and the more he finds out about her, the closer he comes- he knows quite a lot, and never acts like it's too much. There isn't another Mary she has to be when she's with him. She loses herself in the kiss for a long moment, then another, melting in the feeling of being held, before the clock chiming brings her back to reality.]

Ah- [She breaks the kiss for real and lets go of him breathlessly.] So. About that power.

[hostage]

[Of course he's disappointed when it ends, but he smiles anyway in that way he does when he's been doing something bad but he doesn't regret it. He squeezes her one last time before he lets go.

Then he clears his throat. Back to business.]

You, uh, wanna give it a try?
