18
I was beginning to think that having the foreknowledge of what I was going to be doing later that day was something I’d rather not have. Knowing that I could be shot at still had me on edge. Tara had come by to make surer I was set up with the wire that morning. She woke me up a little before nine running her fingers through my hair.
“Rise and shine, princess,” she murmured in my ear.
I hummed and stretched, staying on my stomach. “What time is it?”
I wanted to stay like this, I felt the length of her pressed against my side as she toyed with my hair and it felt so good. I hadn’t had a chance to talk her into staying lately, and I still owed her. If I wasn’t so tired, I would have considered rectifying that.
“It’s eight thirty,” she pressed a kiss to my cheek. “You have an hour and a half before you got to get to work.”
“It’s been forever,” I grunted as I managed onto to my side and wrapped an around her so she couldn’t wiggle away from me. “Since you and I had any sort of fun.”
“Well,” she gave me a light teasing kiss, just a brush that made me tighten my hold around her. “I might be coerced into staying a little later tonight. I get real days off, unlike some undercover folks.”
“I’m going on vacation after all this is said and done. I might even take you hostage so I can drag your ass with me,” I teased.
Tara started to pull away, but I didn’t let her get away this time. I caught her mouth, and I put every bit of my feelings for her behind it. She didn’t pull back or make any grumbles at the fact that I had morning breath. If anything, she bit my lip. I twisted around so that I could feel the length of her against me. The longer we kissed, the more awake I became, and I realized it’d been way too long since the last time I had fucked her.
All that was keeping me from doing that now was her uniform. Her belt was digging into my hip, and I reached down to work the buckle free. I had it open before her hand caught my wrist and she forced me to stop.
“We’ve both got work,” she protested. “If I’m later than normal, there’ll be questions.”
I heaved a sigh. “Then I guess we’ll have to take a rain check on this.” I took a second and broke the hold she had on my wrist so that I could bring her hand to the tent I had sprung in the sheets. “But you better believe that I’ll be getting a piece of your ass.”
“Well hurry up and get your day done,” she gave me a light squeeze before she stood. “Now, let’s get the day started, so you can ‘get a piece’ when you get home,” she walked out of my bedroom, so I didn’t have the opportunity to grab at her again.
It was enough to get me out bed. I considered skipping a shower but gave in as a means to take care of the morning wood. I kept it as short as I could, given what I was just taking care of. It was enough to shake off the cobwebs. Knowing what I was going to do today had made it difficult to sleep. When I got out, I found Tara sitting on my bed waiting for me.
“I don’t have all day for you to get beautiful to hang out with your boyfriends,” she sighed at me. “Dry off and get strapped in so I can get to work.”
“You didn’t have to be here for me to be strapped in,” I told her as I took my time to dry off.
I didn’t bother to cover myself, and I could tell just how insistent she was that I get ready to go. I watched as her eyes drifted down me and I felt my cock twitch in interest despite the fact that I just rubbed one out.
“Why the change now?” I tried to bring her attention away from my junk.
Tara only shrugged at me, “When I got in he told me to be here when you suited up for the day. I only hope this means that all this is coming to some sort of an end.”
“If it comes to an end, does that mean this,” I gestured between us. “Comes to an end?”
She looked surprised, her brows drew up, and her face showed that she hadn’t even considered that part.
“I-I don’t know,” she caught a hold of the ponytail that she had tamed her hair back into. “I don’t know how we could make this work, Chase. If we’re too obvious about it, we’ll both get in trouble.”
At least she wasn’t talking about leaving me high and dry. I went to my dresser to pull out some clean boxers.
“You would want to keep this up?” I prodded.
“You said this wasn’t a mistake,” she reminded me. “I thought if we started up on the regular that it would be…” She hesitated like she wasn’t sure how to finish the sentence.
“It would be for keeps,” I finished for her as I stepped into my boxers and pulled them up. “But we both know I can’t make you do anything you don’t want to do. So, the question I have here is when this is over… I still get to keep you, right?”
She nodded, and after a beat she stood, coming to me. “I’ve worked so hard to get this,” she motioned to her uniform. “I can’t ruin this now because my heart got in the way.”
I leaned down to her, “I won’t be stupid with your heart or your job.” I cupped her shoulders in my hands as I spoke. “I’m not going to be stupid about this.”
“Good,” she leaned into me and wrapped her arms around my middle. “How about you don’t be stupid about any of it?”
“Now you’re just asking too much,” I kissed the top of her head and pulled away so I could finish getting dressed. I opted for a black pair of jeans and a white t shirt after she taped the mic and wire to my chest. “I’ll try to make it back as early as I can,” I shrugged a little. “But I doubt it’ll be before ten. You can crash here if you want.”
“I might do that,” she gave me a slight smirk. “I have a stash of clothes and stuff here. I don’t know if it was presuming too much by doing that.”
“Not too much,” I tucked the recorder into the waistband of my jeans. “I’ll see you tonight, and I’ll definitely be cashing in on that rain check.”
“Remember you owe me,” she reached down and caught hold of the front of my jeans. “I’ll be getting it what I’m owed,” she tugged me closer. “You hear me?”
I snorted, “I hear you.”
“Good,” she reached down to switch on the recorder. “September twenty second, nine thirty-two am,” she took a step back. “Officer Dunn as witness, and you’re going to be late if you keep screwing around.”
“Yea, yea,” I watched her walk out of the bedroom then out of my apartment.
There was some relief to know that she wasn’t ready to call this quits when I got relieved of this job. It was something, considering how things had been in the beginning and it was something to keep me occupied for the rest of my day.
