"You were smoking?" Yvonne asked, catching the faint scent of tobacco on him.
"Yeah, just one. Does it smell bad?" he asked.
"It's okay," she said, and just as the words left her mouth, Bennett leaned down and kissed her. The lingering taste of nicotine mingled between their lips as they tangled together.
After the kiss, Bennett released her, his warm, dry hand gently ruffling her hair.
"You should get some rest. I have some work to finish in the study."
"Okay," Yvonne nodded obediently.
After Bennett left, Yvonne read her script for a while longer before getting up. She went to the kitchen, found some milk in the fridge, warmed it up, and carried the glass to the study.
She stood at the door and knocked softly.
"Can I come in?"
"Come in," his voice came from inside. He was sitting at his large executive desk, the cold light from two active computer screens reflecting on his handsome face, making him appear distant and serious.
But when his gaze met Yvonne's, it softened with a touch of warmth.
"I warmed up some milk for you," she said, walking over and placing the glass on his desk.
"So thoughtful," Bennett chuckled, taking her hand and giving a gentle tug that pulled her right into his lap.
Yvonne landed softly against him. He wrapped one arm around her waist, and with his other hand, he picked up a tie from the desk and carefully tied it around her eyes.
"I still have some things to deal with that you can't see," he explained.
Yvonne understood that military work was often confidential. Still, he could have just sent her back to her room.
