Summary
"You're very obedient, aren't you?" Mel grinned, pushing Frank's sweaty hair out of his face. He nodded weakly. She tilted her head and regarded him for a moment, her eyes wandering down his exposed neck and bare chest thoughtfully. "Bark for me?"
"Woof."
The word came out instinctively, as if he had been simply waiting for the order. Mel's smile widened with satisfaction.
"Good boy. Now come clean up the mess you've made."
In which Frank takes Robby off the pedestal he kept his mentor on for so many years when he realizes he no longer cares to chase the glory of being chosen his successor. In his place stands the glowing support of Melissa King: someone Frank finds himself almost inherently drawn to follow.

Summary
“So, we gonna talk about it?” Frank looks up from his plate, where he’s swirling a fry around in ketchup, his eyes locking with hers.
Mel both loves and hates his penchant for direct eye contact. She never doubts that he’s listening. Never has to wonder if he really sees her. At this point, he might know her better than anyone. Can basically read her like an open book. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t occasionally try some evasive maneuvers.
“Talk about what?” she asks, reaching for her cup to take a long sip of her water.
“You.” He pops the fry into his mouth and swallows before continuing, eyes still locked on her face. “Online dating.”
--
When, at Trinity Santos' urging, Mel decides to give online dating a try, she feels a bit in over her head. It's a good thing she's got Frank Langdon to help. Maybe what she's looking for might not be so hard to find after all.Bookmarked by sithspitt

Summary
“It’s kinda stupid, but Abby always liked the clean shaved look,” he explains, “and we’ve been separated for months now and I just wanted to try No Shave November for the first time.”
“Well it looks good on you,” she says before she can stop herself.
“Does it?” he says, brightening considerably. “Abby always hated it—made me shave it off immediately.”
“I think it’s nice,” she remarks, eyes roving over his face. She’s not sure what about it is so enticing, but there’s just something about Frank’s square jaw, his chin dimple, his dark brows, even his bright blue eyes, that stand out more with the addition of the coarse hair along his jawline, around his mouth.
She wonders what it feels like.
Or, Mel shows up to work with a ponytail, and Frank shows up to work with stubble and both of them lose their damn minds over it :)
