I'd imagine he'd hang out with her and be fine, and then go home and the intrusive thoughts will just be like

"I wonder what face she'd make if she were on my bed, under me, as I sank my teeth into her neck" "Would she love me or hate me if she found out I've pleasured myself to the thought of her" "I've slept with so many men and women, and even though I haven't even gotten a taste of her yet, I already know that she is all I will ever want now" But he'd also be disgusted with himself for thinking thoughts like this when she's never really made any sexual advances. She tried to kiss him and that's all; the physically closest they ever got by that point was innocently cuddling each other to sleep at Hotel Z.

There are sexual tension filled moments between them, but there's just something about the way she talks or brushes it off that makes him feel like she's not quite aware of the nature of said tension or is just joking about it.

I think its funny because they are actively causing each other's problems : Terra's a touch starved loser virgin and wants to be desired as an adult woman but often feels like she's just larping as one and maybe is lowkey a little scared of taking that step that she so desires. She brushes things off or pulls the 'just joking!' card if she feels like she's gone too far and isn't ready for what's expected of her advances. It's only made worse by Beau's habit of being a little handsy by default (usually its just shoulders or on her back, maybe the top of her head). She likes Beau, but if she pushes their relationship too far, maybe she'll lose him altogether, so it's best she just stay friends to maintain the status quo. She's too busy for a relationship anyway, that's how she lost Brendan in the first place. Beau feels guilt over his growing lust for her. While she's slowly become a bit of a flirt, he thinks she probably has pure intentions. He's like 99% sure that their feelings for each other are mutual, but because she's not nearly as forthcoming with how she feels about him when she's sober, he can't be sure and doesn't want to misread the situation.

If she really wanted to be with him, she wouldn't keep insisting her little flirts are just jokes... right?

So it's a dumb little cycle of :

Beau being flirty > Terra reciprocating but then says its a joke > Beau stops being flirty because he thinks he misread the situation and feels like shit over his lust for her > Terra flirty and doesn't say it's a joke > repeat

As she steps into his office, she can see the discarded takeout containers on one end of his desk, and a very stressed Beau hunched over his laptop. He knows Terra’s there but doesn’t acknowledge her until she comes up behind him and puts her hands on his shoulders.

He leans back, looks up at her and puts his hands around her wrists.

“Sorry, Ter. I don’t think I’ll even be back before you fall asleep. Don’t wait up for me, alright?”

“That’s a real shame… I guess I’ll be off to the Battle Zones then. Kiss for good luck?”

“Of course”, he says as he gets up from his chair and pulls her into a kiss on the lips, and then several pecks to her cheek for good measure.

She’s about to turn towards the elevator to make an exit when she feels his grab her by the arm.

“Wait. Could you… ugh, this is so pathetic…I need you right now. It’s been so long. Please…”

She can’t deny it, it really had been a while since they had a chance to be intimate. For the past 3 weeks, he’d just come home late, take a shower, and sleep. Even on the Saturdays that he has off, he spends most of it paying back his sleep debt.

There’s a look in his eye… a mix of lust, love and fatigue.

With a defeated but amused sigh, she nods and follows him into a room hidden in the sides of his office where he normally rested in when pulling all-nighters. It came equipped with a single size bed, some spare clothes, and an… assortment of magazines from years before that have since gathered dust. Beau shamefully moves them out of sight.

As Beau’s tiredly fumbling with his belt buckle Terra pushes him backwards on the bed and climbs on top of him.

“Just sit back and relax, I’ll take care of you today.”

He tries his hardest to be patient as she unbuckles his pants, pulling down his boxers, and freeing his already hard cock.

She teases herself with it before letting it sink into her folds, making good on her promise to take care of him.

Thankfully everyone had already left the office we this room does not have soundproofing.

Unfortunately for them, Beau overhears this and sends the little gossips on a more difficult job initially meant for Terra just to teach them a lesson.

Her? His girlfriend? Please. As if he’d ever have the hots for this cocky rude tourist.

This doesn’t quite stop the gossip though, they just get better at hiding.

As time drags on, the rumors start to border into conspiracy territory.

“A guy who works night shift told me he saw the boss leavin’ the office with her pretty late last night!”

“Maybe he punished us just to try and keep us quiet… what other reason could there be.”

“He’s changed a little since she came along, y’know? He doesn’t scrutinize my reports as much as before”

“Get this, a buddy of mine who patrols the Jaune district saw them together getting ice cream! There’s one right near the office, why would he choose one so far away?! I say he’s tryin’ keep it a secret…”

“I heard from the delivery guys that he’s sent at least a couple packages to Hotel Z…”

“But, hey, if Philippe says she’s in the clear, I guess she’s alright. They do look good together.”

Beau is an observant man. He has eyes and ears around the city, even on his own grunts, so these rumors eventually do reach him.

…But somehow, he’s not mad about it. It’s all rather amusing to him now. He’s still trying to solve her little mystery, these gestures are merely an act to get on her good side. If his own grunts can’t see that, then clearly it’s working.

But that last one… “They look good together.”
