Merlot Dreaming

It was a Monday evening, the beginning of the week had been rough, but suddenly, he appeared at her office requesting her help to solve a case. Even if she wasn't his assistant anymore, from time to time he requested her help with complicated cases. She was his perfect partner and he knew they could work not just at the office but also at his place. She was "his person", the one he calls late at night or early in the morning even to talk about personal matters.

That Monday has been tough for him too and even if he had a lot of things to deal with, he preferred to do it at his place rather than at the office. So, he invited her to come with him and have some drinks while working.

When they arrived at his place, Harvey found out that the new bottle of Macallan he just bought the day before, is at his office, and the only thing he has at his place are 3 bottles of wine, three bottles of Merlot to be exact! The three given by clients. He is not a wine lover, but at that point, he just wanted some alcohol in his system in order to relax a little bit and start to work.

Donna on the other hand, is happy to enjoy some glasses of wine. Is so happy, that even when Harvey offered to order some Chinese, she volunteered herself to prepare something a little bit more fancy with some things Harvey had on the refrigerator. A couple of minutes later, Donna has prepared a beautiful antipasto with ham, 3 different types of cheese, some olives and even salami.

Harvey is impressed by her abilities!

So, while she was finishing everything, he poured the first glass of wine for them. Even when Donna usually picks a Rosé or a Cabernet Sauvignon, the taste of that Merlot seems delightful for her. So, she rapidly finished the first glass.

H: "Someone is thirsty", Harvey says

Donna smiles and says: "You are an idiot. Let's start working"

Harvey just smirked at the comment and moved all the things to the living room to start with the files they have to review during the night.

File after file, the hours start to pass and three hours later, they have finally finished the work and two bottles of wine have gone.

Both of them are feeling a little tipsy and a little too relaxed.

D: It seems that my work it's done, she said while she stands up from the living room floor.

Harvey just smiles at the view.

H: Hey, I still have one more bottle of wine and it's 11:00pm. What do you say if we finish it and relax for a while? Remember that I am not precisely a wine lover so, let finish with this thing once and for all.

She laughs at the comment and sits again

D: Well, at this point I am not in the mood for refusing another glass. Bring it on.

Harvey opens the last bottle of wine and sits closer to her.

They start talking about how everything has been going in the firm after Mike's and Rachel departure... and suddenly, Donna looks at Harvey and said:

D: I can't believe that after more than four hours at your house, you are still wearing your tie. Let me take that off for you.

Harvey laughs and said:

H: Ok Donna, take the tie off.

She gets closer to him and he starts feeling a little nervous at her touch.

Maybe it's his time to tease her.

H: Ok Donna, since I let you remove my tie in order to be more comfortable. You have to let me remove one thing from you.

Donna blushes a little bit and just says:

D: Harvey... What are you trying to do?

He laughs and add:

H: Hey, I am just trying to be fair and I want you to feel a little more comfortable here.

Donna smirks at the comment. She knows this little game can be dangerous but the alcohol running through her veins helps her to accept the proposal.

D: Fine! But I will decide which item of my outfit you can remove, she said.

H: Fair enough!

D: Ok, you can remove my shoes

And she laughs

H: Challenge accepted, Harvey says

And he gets closer to her and while looking at her directly in the eyes, he slowly removes her beautiful pair of heels.

Donna feels a little nervous while feeling the touch of his hands on her feet.

Harvey seems to notice this and grins.

He pours another glass for both of them, both a little out of their limits, when he says.

H: I bet I am waaaay much taller than you!

Donna laughs and looks at him with a face of: what the hell?! That comment came out of nowhere! But it's too tipsy to argue, so she adds:

D: Nope, you are not! And I can prove it.

He laughs too and says:

H: Ok Donna, let's make this interesting. If I am at least 10cm taller than you, you would have to remove or change a piece of your clothes that I choose! And if you win, you can do the exact same thing with me .

They both know that they are playing a dangerous game but the truth is, this time they don't care. They can blame the alcohol tomorrow and continue as always.

D: Deal!

So, both of them stand up and Harvey goes to the studio and brings a ruler to be fair. They both get closer to a wall and put a little mark to keep the record of their height.

After 5minutes, Harvey checks the difference and there is a 10.5cm difference between them.

H: It looks like I am the winner, he said smiling!

As always - he adds

Donna is not happy with the result but has to accept that she has forgotten that usually this height difference is not so visible due to her heels.

D: fine! Spill it.

What do you want me to remove/change?

She is scared and waaaay too nervous because she knows that since she is wearing a dress, there are not too many pieces of clothes protecting her.

And then Harvey says the obvious:

H: your dress!

Donna feels the flush of her checks and the trembling in her legs

D: Harveyyy

H: Donna?

D: Ok, I will do it but not in front of you!

H: it's fine for me. I don't want you to feel if we both know what is under both us clothes, I will respect your privacy. And he winks.

Her face turned red!

Why is he talking about the other time! She is sure that is the effect of three bottles of wine and the fact that he has been single for a while.

They are playing a risky game but since she has been single for a while too, she decides to take the chance and maybe tomorrow forget about it.

She goes to Harvey's bathroom and while she is removing his dress and is about to take one of his robes, she finds one of his white shirts and decides to play with him.

She removes her bra along with her dress and just lets her panties on and puts Harvey's shirt on before going back to the living room.

Harvey is checking his phone and gets distracted when she says to his ear: I hope it doesn't bother you that I borrowed one of your shirts... and moves in from one him...

Harvey shivers at the sight and his jaw slowly opens...

And she immediately add:

D: Now I have a game for you. If you guess what I am wearing under your shirt, I will do whatever you ask me, but if you don't guess, you will have to do whatever I ask you!

Harvey's laughs nervously but the truth is, he is having fun.

Donna is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen! He has felt physically attracted to her since the moment he met her and even though they have had bad moments during their 13 years together and both have had different partners during these years, their chemistry has always been there.

Long nights of work that end with a subtle flirting or a soft touch in a non proper place.. now, looking at her wearing his shirt, just his shirt! Long red hair over her shoulders and acting so damn confident and seductive... he is getting crazy.

Suddenly the temperature is starting to get hotter for him.

His thoughts get interrupted at the sound of her voice:

D: Ok Harvey, you just have one chance!

Harvey stands up and gets closer to her ear and says: you are wearing the shirt. No underwear... no nothing. And laughs. Laughs even harder when he notices that Donna's face is red and looks at him nervously.

But suddenly she steps back and and with a smirk on her face says:

D: You are wrong Mr. Specter!

Harvey steps closer and says:

H: Show me

Donna is stumbling

D: wait.. wha... what?!

H: you already listened to me, show me that you have something more under my shirt!

Donna is not going to let him win!

D: Hold your horses mister!

You have to trust me. And before to show you something more. You have to follow my orders.

And laughs

H: I am listening

D: I just noticed that your pants are a little too tight in a certain part, she said

Now is Harvey the one that is stumbling and doesn't know what to do

So she laughs and immediately adds:

D: Soooo, take off your pants and shirt! Just for you to feel comfy. And she blinks

Harvey can't believe it, she is winning if this little game that he started.

He shyly smiles and said:

H: Ok, but let me put some music

D: Music?! Said Donna confused!

H: You'll see

And Harvey looked for his phone and plays: "Earn It" by The Weeknd

H: Sit down, Donna. You are about to see what the great Harvey Specter is able to do

Donna sits on the couch and can't believe what is happening

Harvey starts to unbutton his shirt slowly while looking at her directly in the eyes...

Donna is sweating

His moves are so damn sexis! She is melting for him on that couch, especially when his torso is uncovered and she is able to appreciate his well worked muscles.

Now is the time to take off his pants... she just thinks about the song: "Your Body is a Wonderland"... because his body truly is!

He starts to unbutton his pants and is about to take them off when...

*ping ping ping ping ping*

The sound of 5 messages in a row woke Harvey up!

He is annoyed! He was in the middle of something in his dream!

He is also confused. He actually can't believe that Donna was wearing just his shirt and he was doing a striptease to her.

He laughs at the idea but it seems so crazy.

A couple of minutes later he has the feeling that... maybe... they could share some drinks that night.

A couple of seconds later, the phone starts to ring and when he sees the name on the screen, he automatically smiles because of the irony... It's Donna.

D: Harvey! It's 7 o'clock! And you didn't respond to my messages! A client is looking to book a meeting with you. Since I am not your secretary anymore, I don't know how your calendar is... so, solve that!

H: Slow down Donna. As you say, it's 7'o clock! I will take care of that later.

D: Fine...

There are a couple of minutes of silence...

H: Hey! Are you still there?

D: Yes

H: What do you say if today after work we come to my apartment and… I don't know, maybe we share some bottles of Merlot that I have here?

D: Merlot? But you are not exactly a wine lover

H: I might be from now on

D: Are you ok, Harvey?

H: let's just say that I had some sort of revelation!

D: you are weird! But it's ok. We can do that. Now get up and bring yourself to the firm now.

Harvey laughs and hangs up the phone.

Now he is waiting for 7:00pm to arrive...

Tonight might be the first night he could actually enjoy a Merlot, he thinks while drinking a cup of his dark morning coffee with a subtle smell of vanilla...

*The end*
