Summary: “Should we just have a drink? No more games or promises. Just a drink.”

“Am I under orders to please you?” Michael asks, already knowing the answer.

“Of course,” Nikita answers with coquettish delight. His heart contracts for just a moment at Nikita’s apparent willingness to go along with Petrosian’s plans before she gracefully backpedals. “Not.”

Underneath her dark, red lipstick, Nikita’s smile is sharper.

She now stands before him, suggesting that they spend more time together outside of Section and extolling the benefits of letting Petrosian have his run at Section One. Her words are a manifestation of his deepest desire and the most dangerous of scenarios.

She’s trying on a new persona…the temptress. Her exotic perfume teases his nostrils when she leans into his personal space. She’s clearly intrigued by the liberties her new authority at Section has given her.

Nikita is beauty and desire incarnate and Michael doubles down on his self control.

“Should we just have a drink?” She offers in an attempt to ease them back into neutral territory.

“No more games or promises. Just a drink.”

Nikita’s beguiling smile has the bartender immediately before them.

“My handsome friend will have your finest red wine, please.”

“And for you, madam?” He asks with professional courtesy.

Nikita takes a final sip from her drink and pushes the empty glass forward with another smile.
