We were tucked into a booth in the corner of the Queens head. It was still pretty early so it wasn't completely filled with police yet. Our thighs were touching again and it was making me hot and thirsty. I watched Leon take a gulp or his drink, turning his face to me. You would never think looking at him that he killed someone a couple of hours ago.
"Does what you did earlier not bother you?" I asked, moving closer to him."Erm, no." He chuckled. "He was going to kill you, it's what we're trained to do." He put his head back against the chair, but turned it to face me. "You've killed someone," he said bluntly."Yeah I know, but he was a terrorist so it makes me feel a little better." I smiled weakly. I had only ever had to take one suspect down and when someone had a bomb attached to their leg it helps your moral compass."And this guy was going to kill you, it's the same. I'll do my candle shit though." I sat up further, my brow crossed."You're what?""Yeah, anytime someone dies on a job, which isn't a lot, let's be honest." I nodded, it really wasn't. "I tell my mum, who then lights a candle for that person in church." He drained the last of his drink."I didn't know you did that." It made me smile."I don't, my mum does." Leon laughed, he put his hand on my thigh and I felt my mouth go dryer than a desert. "Another drink?" He asked, half standing."Yeah, thanks." I watched as Leon walked up to the bar, it was no secret to anybody in our station that we flirted like crazy, the comment from Stuart wasn't the first like that and it wouldn't be the last. I always tried to avoid out of the station one on one social situations with Leon, because to be honest, I couldn't fucking trust myself. We were a team at work, an important one and we trusted each other with our lives, today being a perfect example. Putting feelings into the mix scared me, we couldn't have anything that affected us on the job. Leon put our drinks on the table, flopping down next to me."I didn't say, your hair looks really nice down, you should have it like that more often." He smiled, even his teeth were perfect."Thanks," I giggled. "I'm not a fan." I looked down at my drink."You should be, it makes you look even more beautiful." I looked up at Leon, moving my head to the side."Stop," I rolled my eyes."Stop what?" He moved his head back, pretending to be shocked. He knew exactly what I was saying."Stop trying to flirt with me, it's boring." Leon laughed, throwing his head back."Why can't I flirt with you? We're both single, the same age." He shrugged, taking a gulp of his drink. He turned his head back to me, his hand on my thigh. "You can't give me ten minutes of flirting? I did save your life today," he snickered."I'm not going to live that down am I?" I looked down again, trying to get rid of the huge smile on my face."No, I wonder if I'm going to get a medal of bravery or something." I slapped his arm, Leon laughing. His hand was still on my thigh and I wasn't moving it anytime soon. "Seriously, it's not a secret I think you're beautiful Lex, but if you dont think I'm beautiful I'll stop. I promise." His voice was serious for a minute and my heart jumped. "I know I always fuck about, as you and Stu always tell me." He rolled his eyes and I chuckled, looking at his face. "But I respect you, you know that.""Of course I do, you're one of the only people I actually like there." I grabbed my drink, resting it in my hand. "We're friends," I whispered."The question is, do you think I'm beautiful?" I pushed his head away, trying to fight down my giggle."You're not, not beautiful," I muttered."That's not a fucking answer!" Leon threw his hands up. "Answer me woman!" He got close to my face, god he was definitely beautiful."Yes okay! Fuck sake Leon!" I moved my head from his. "But," I started."Nope, no buts. You confessed your love for me so it's done. It's out in the open Lex, no need to be embarrassed," he teased. My heart was smashing against my chest and it was annoying me. Why couldn't I have a partner who had been married for a million years and not fucking beautiful Leon Bailey?"Whatever. Let's go home, we have work tomorrow.""Yeah, let me take you home." He stood up, moving his hand from my thigh. I was slightly disappointed but at least I had some time with him in the car. "My lady," he smiled, putting his hand out."I can get out of a chair on my own, thanks.""So rude Lex," Leon chuckled."Thanks and thanks for cheering me up." I turned to Leon. We were in his car, outside my flat."No worries, glad I could be of service." He smiled and I crumbled."See you tomorrow," I whispered, my hand on the car door."Lex, wait," he said urgently. I turned to him, my hand dropping from the door. We were staring at each other for a while, I felt my hand shaking and I didn't know why."What Leon?" I broke the silence, chuckling."Let me walk you to your door." I nodded, getting out of the car, I was only on the second floor and we took the steps up. I could feel Leon behind me, making my legs weak. As we got to my door, I turned to him, attempting to smile."So it turns out you are a gentleman," I breathed out, my brain in a muddle."Told you," he whispered, moving closer to me. I looked up at him slightly, him being much taller than me. I swallowed hard, my chest beating. My skin prickled as he put his hand on my cheek, staring into my eyes. We had very similar eye colours and his eyes were so beautiful. Leon's eyes went to my lips and I took a deep breath in. I closed my eyes as his lips touched mine. He was gentle, his hand still on my face. Leon moved back, my lips tingling from the simple kiss. He went to talk and I grabbed the back of his head, pushing his lips back on mine. He opened my mouth then, his tongue sweeping across my own. I put my arms around his neck, my hand on the back of his head. Leon put his arms around my waist, pushing himself closer to me. I moved my head to the side, allowing him to push his tongue further into my mouth. I could hardly breathe but there was no way I was coming out of this kiss. His tongue massaging mine was turning me on and I needed to change my knickers urgently. Leon bit my bottom lip as he pulled away, I knew I had a frown but I didn't care."Fucking hell," he whispered, his hands still around my waist. I dropped my arms from his neck. "See you tomorrow?" Leon smiled. I nodded, but I was disappointed. "Or," he trailed off."Or what?" I giggled, looking down."Or I can come in? I could do with a coffee to be fair.""I have coffee." I grinned.I turned the kettle on as I stood in my kitchen, my flat was open plan, the tiny kitchen connected to the even tinier living space. I reached up to get two mugs, knowing how Leon liked his coffee. "Leon!" I giggled as he came behind me, his arms around my waist. His face was in my neck, his hand moving up to my chest. "I'm trying to make you coffee!" I squealed, him pushing me against the kitchen side."I don't actually want it anymore." His voice was low, and his erection in my back was making my pussy throb. I put my head back on his shoulder, his hand cupping my breast. His other hand was tight around my waist, pulling me back onto him. I put my hand on his cheek as he kissed my neck gently, turning me fucking wild. "Leon," I giggled again, his lips tickling my neck. "You know you love it, shut up." He laughed, his hand around my waist going to my trouser buttons. I wiggled away from him, my heart needed a break, as I turned to him he grabbed me by my waist again, pushing me bac
I walked into the hallway that held our office. I was panicking, my nerves in my stomach. I didn't know how Leon was going to play this, he left my house last night quite late and in the light of day I was scared. What if it was stupidly awkward? What if he regretted it? Or worse still, it affected our work. I sheepishly walked into the open office, most people were at their desks. "Morning Lex!" A few shouted to me. "Morning guys." I sat down, I looked opposite me and Leon wasn't at his desk. I don't know if I preferred that or not. I logged in, double checking my emails. All of my paperwork was up to date, mainly because I'm a perfectionist. "Morning!" I closed my eyes as I heard Leon's voice. He slumped down at his desk in front of me, moving his chair slightly to look at me properly."Morning," he whispered. I looked up and he was grinning."Good morning," I responded, looking back at my computer. "Did you have a good evening Lex?" I moved my eyes back at him, shaking my head.
"Oh my god, that was so fucking boring!" Leon shouted, flopping down on his sofa. I sat next to him, shaking my head."Sorry it wasn't a terrorist or a guy with a machete." I tucked my feet under me. "What the shit we are trained for? Yeah I was clearly pissed too." He closed his eyes, his hand coming to my thigh. The simple touch made my pussy drip and I let out a sigh. "What's up?" Leon opened his eyes and turned to me."Nothing," I said quickly. "Don't lie to me Lex!" He laughed, moving closer. "You don't want me to touch you?" His smirk was large. I moved back as he attempted to tickle me, kicking out. "Mind my fucking balls will you!" I laughed, putting my head back. One of Leon's hands was in mine, the other holding my waist. "Why did you wait for so long for this to happen?" He asked suddenly, making me put my head up. "You didn't try to kiss me before," I whispered, feeling my temperature rise. My heart was in my throat, I wasn't used to Leon talking so seriously."Because
I sat in the dark wooden hallway, tapping my foot. I hated that I had to book an appointment for this shit and hated even more he kept me waiting. I looked at my watch, rolling my eyes. "Sorry, the commissioner is ready for you now." His blonde PA poked her head out. I smiled at her, walking into her office and opening the door of his. He was sitting at his desk, staring at his computer. His white shirt was bright, especially against his dark skin. Finally he looked up as I stood in front of his desk. "SFO Duggan, what do I owe the pleasure?" He smiled. "Hey dad," I breathed out. "Sit, Lexie. How are you?" I sat down opposite him, my hands in my lap. My dad was a scary guy, always had been. We were a police family, my dad the police commissioner and my older brother Ryan was a detective constable. My dad always used to say we bled blue, however cheesy that was. "I'm okay, I'm sad I have to book an appointment with your PA to see you," I scoffed. It had always been just me, my dad
I walked into our office, Leon already grinning at me. "You alright?" He asked, spinning on his chair. "Yeah, you?" I sat down, turning my computer on. "Eurgh, I don't like that voice. What's wrong?" Leon asked, playing with his mouse. My heart jumped that he had asked, he really could read my mind. "I went to see my dad." I put my head back. "Police commissioner Duggan, how the fuck is he?" Leon said seriously, making me laugh. "I can't tell you. We spoke for about five minutes total.""At his office?" Leon's eyes were on mine. I nodded. "What like an appointment?" He tried to fight down a chuckle. "Yeah, that's how I always see him." I tried to say without embarrassment. "Wait, wait." Leon rolled his chair next to my desk, his stupid smile plastered on. He put his elbows on his thighs, looking up at me. "You have to book an appointment. To see your dad." He said it slowly, he didn't have to tell me it was ridiculous, I already knew. "Yes, I do. I just spoke to my brother, h
It was Friday afternoon, my overnight bag under my desk, I was excited. I couldn't wait to spend the night with Leon, thinking of what we could get up to. "Bailey, Duggan. My office please." Williams said behind us. My mind got rid of my dirty thoughts as me and Leon walked into her office, him closing the door. "Right, I'll make this quick." She said firmly, I looked over at Leon, cool as always. "Thank you both for your applications." I looked back at Leon, applications? I didn't even think he was applying. When was he going to tell me he had applied for the sergeant job? I moved my head back to Williams, my heart in my throat. It was against just the two of us? It filled me with dread. "I want to congratulate you Leon. You were successful. Lexie, you will have a new partner in a week or so. Your application was good, don't feel disheartened." She smiled at me. I nodded, a tear behind my eye. "Thanks ma'am," Leon said. Turning for the door. He opened it, looking up at me. My feet
We were finishing up in the debrief room, I was sitting at the front, Leon a couple of rolls behind me, it made my heart drop, no thigh touching mine. Williams let out a breath, running her hand through her hair. "Thanks sergeant, Bailey, Duggan, hash this shit out," she barked, walking towards the door. "No need ma'am." Leon stood up."That was a direct order Bailey." She walked out, Stuart behind her. The door slammed shut and I heard Leon sit back down. My face was to the front, my heart racing. "I'm sorry," I whispered. Leon said nothing, letting out a breath. "Leon." I turned around to face him. "I said I'm sorry.""No," he finally spoke. "Fuck you Lexie, I expect that shit from the others, from Stuart whatever. Not you. I didn't even expect that from you two months ago, let alone now." I went to speak and he started again. "Not even as my colleague, my partner but as my fucking girlfriend. What kind of girlfriend are you?" He stood up and I jumped up, walking over to him."Do
I spent the whole of Saturday feeling very sorry for myself. I was starting to feel that Leon had over reacted. I was in the wrong, I shouldn't have said that but as Williams said, it wasn't incorrect. I had to get myself up and ready for dinner at nans and as I walked in the smell of food hit me. "Help yourself to the pot," she grabbed my hand. "Thanks nan.""Sit," she pointed to her tiny kitchen table. I did as I was told obviously and sat down. It was just me and her, Ryan wasn't here yet and she sat opposite me. My nan was old, in her eighties, I would have to ask Ryan how old. She was a tiny woman, her dark hair in a scarf over her head. She was me and Ryan's mother growing up, she was incredibly special to me. I looked into her warm dark eyes and she grabbed my hand."You're upset, tell me." Her voice was firm. "I'm okay," I waved off. "No child, tell me." It wasn't a request. "Just, I met a man and it's gone wrong and it's my fault and I feel awful." I shrugged. "What di
