Teaser: "Shut up! I read for the plot." "Right," he said, his tone oozing with sarcasm. "Because 'harder, my lord, harder,' is a great basis for an excellent story. I'm confiscating this."

Author's Note: The fifth July prompt is "We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious." from the Lord of the Rings. Despite living under a rock in terms of movies and LOTR in general, I did manage to watch The Two Towers so I have some idea of what to do with this.

Reading Material
"Heero Yuy, you will return that to me right this minute if you know what's good for you," she snarled, rising from her chair and placing both hands on her desk.
He ignored her, sitting pretty, flipping through the pages as if he'd heard nothing. She lunged at him from behind her desk but, before she knew it, the chair he'd previously occupied had fallen to the ground and he was halfway across the room. So it was a chase he wanted? So be it.
She went after him but he seamlessly dodged every dive she made, gliding across the room with unparalleled grace as she stumbled after him.
"Not until I find out what Lord St. Claire has that I don't," he smirked, momentarily dangling the romance novel before her eyes then swiftly pulling it back and continuing their frenzied game of cat and mouse across the room.
"He's blonde. What else do you need to know?" she growled, making a grab for his leg and finding nothing but air in her arms. "Why do you even care?"
"All you do before going to bed is read this. I'm just curious about the other man's techniques," he retorted. "Judging from this, he's more than blonde. He's rather well-equipped, too. "
He turned the page. "Very well-equipped," he added, dodging the shoe she threw at his head. "Tsk, Relena, you really shouldn't waste ammo. Have I taught you nothing?"
The second shoe hit him square in the forehead. "All right, it seems I have taught you a thing or two," he fumed, picking up speed as she rushed at him. "Still, that's not going to slow me down, princess. Or should I start calling you 'my lady' and make a habit of ripping your clothes off whenever I'm feeling frisky?"
"Give it back!" she yelped, going in for the kill with an attempted tackle. She quickly found her body slamming against the mercifully carpeted floor. If they'd been doing this on the marble floor of her ESUN office, she'd have been done for. This was her home office, home turf... Surely, she had the advantage here. What else could she use as a weapon now that her footwear was gone?
"Melinda gasped in surprise as he truly revealed himself to her for the very first time," read Heero, his tone ineffectual as he darted away from her crumpled body. "Never before had she seen such a perfect specimen of-"
"Shut up! I read for the plot."
"Right," he said, his tone oozing with sarcasm. "Because 'harder, my lord, harder,' is a great basis for an excellent story. I'm confiscating this."
She watched in horror as he ran for the door. There was no way she could pick herself up in time to stop him. On the verge of defeat, she went for the last trick she had up her sleeve.
"Office lock down sequence Peacecraft Darlian beta one nine five!" she screamed just as the door swung open.
The door immediately slammed shut. Steel walls practically engulfed her office, descending over the door and all the windows, effectively blocking out the light of day and any way out.
"Command accepted," boomed Heero's recorded voice. "Please specify duration of lock down, Vice Foreign Minister Darlian."
"One hour."
"Confirmed."
"Vice Foreign Minister Darlian? Computer Heero sure is formal, isn't he?" she grinned, getting up off the floor to bask in her triumph. "How does it feel to be beaten at your own game?"
Heero only returned her grin, immediately killing her short-lived mirth. "Access system override. Yuy alpha zero one."
"Bastard!" she blurted. She ran at him just as the steel lifted to reveal the door.
"Re-initiate lock down," he said just loud enough for her to hear as the door closed behind him to slam in her face. "See you in an hour, Relena. Lord St. Claire and I need to go bond over a campfire."

Fifth July prompt done. Thankfully, as we saw in Solitaire, Relena also has her romance novels in e-book format.
