I am smiling from ear to ear when I arrive back at the station. I still can’t believe she said she loved me. My heart is pounding with joy and as I walk back into the station, I gain stares from the others. I’m normally full of comments to everyone but I can’t wipe this smile off my face.

“What took you so long?” The Chief’s voice made me spin around.

“Sorry sir, we ran into someone else at the motel and it ended up being a friend of Lucky’s, she had come to find her.” I pray he doesn’t go into wanting details.

“So… I take it she is at yours as well?” Chief raises an eyebrow with a slight smirk on his face.

“It’s not like that sir, I needed to be sure they were both safe. Apparently, there is a guy called Jimmy Anderson who is involved in all of this.” I rub my forehead as the stress come back of what I am going to do.

“Right well look him up and find out what you can about this guy, we need to find who he is and if he is involved with the murder. Oh, and the coroner said the body will be ready for viewing this afternoon at about 3 pm.”

I thank the chief and head off to find a computer to start finding information about this guy Jimmy Anderson. I am buried deep in thought about Lucky when Eddie comes up behind me.

“You’re actually doing some work?”

“Very funny.”

“Who are you trying to find?” Eddie leans over.

“The woman Lucky, she is the daughter of the guy who got stabbed to death and I’m trying to find information on a guy called Jimmy Anderson.” I sit back in my seat and sigh.

“Do you want some help?” Eddie pulls up a chair.

“Are you free?” A silly question to ask considering he is sitting next to me now.

“For the next 20 minutes, I’m waiting for the new sheriff to come in. And don’t you go trying to stick your dick into her.” Eddie points his finger at me.

I start laughing, it would be true if I wasn’t so interested in having Lucky in my life. We sit at the desk chatting whilst Eddie is typing away.

“So have you lost interest in Bo then?” He turns to face me.

I shift in my seat. “The thought of her still does something to me, but I have tried on numerous occasions, and she always jokes, pushes me away. She’s not interested, she has made it quite clear to me, anyway I have my sights set on someone else now.” I rub my chin.

“Right found him. Jimmy Anderson; loan shark and not a very pleasant one. If they owe him money, he has his ways of finding people.” Eddie grins because I had been at it for what seems like ages. Eddie is the best when it comes to finding information, I always thought he would make a great detective or something.

“Shit.”

Blake walks past and comes into the room to find out what we had found. All three of us check out the details on this guy. He doesn’t look like the sort of guy who would go easy on someone who got behind on payments.

“So where is she now?” Blake tilts his head at me.

“She is safe.” I mutter under my breath. But Blake starts getting at me.

“You left her alone somewhere? Where is she, Adam?”

“She’s still at mine.” I close my eyes at wait for it.

“What the fuck is going on?” Eddie has no clue what is going on.

“Adam has found himself a woman.” Blake chuckles out.

“Holy fuck you are kidding me.” Eddie sits with his mouth hanging open.

I stand up and start pacing the room, Blake hasn’t a clue what has gone on today with Lucky and I.

“I love her, she loves me.” I blurt it out and curse at the same time.

“Holy fucking hell.” Both Blake and Eddie say the same thing together.

It was so loud, Danny who had been close by with Tyler and came in. Blake starts telling him that I am in love. Danny laughs as he can’t believe it along with Tyler. Now the whole room is laughing at me.

“Why the fuck can nobody believe me that I have fallen in love with Clover fucking Jones?” I’m pissed off and shout at them all.

Everyone shuts up, I’m sure the whole station heard me. I put my head in my hands to try and make everything go away.

“What’s going on?” Bostyn appears as there was a lot of commotion coming from the room.

“Adam has fallen in love.” Tyler punches my arm.

“Yeah, funny joke Tyler.” Bostyn shakes her head.

“Ahh, can everyone just leave me alone.” I get all worked up.

“Now he’s grumpy as well.” Eddie laughs even more, and I glare at Eddie. Bostyn’s eyes meet mine; I can see hurt in her eyes, she holds her lips closed then turns and leaves, I was sure I saw tears forming in her eyes. Fuck, I’ve made a huge mess of things. The chief arrives and this is the last thing I need.

“Right let’s break it up in here you all have work to do. Eddie, the new Sheriff is coming in now; can you go take care of her?”

“Yeah just don’t go sticking your dick in her.” I try to lighten the mood again.

Eddie tells him to go shove my dick up my own ass. Chief tells us all to stop talking about dicks and get on with our work.

“Tyler, Danny, I need you out on traffic call out. A car has broken down and is blocking traffic in one lane; I need you out there like yesterday.” Chief snaps out and disappears himself.

Everyone filters out except Blake and Bostyn comes back in as she has to work with me.

“So how do you feel now then?” Blake lets out a exasperated sigh.

“Fucking terrified, everything is happening so fast.” I’m not sure anymore.

“So your dick has dipped in the same pussy more than once and you’re in love?” Bostyn’s voice was quieter than normal.

“Fuck off Bo-peep.” I’m still slightly pissed off at everyone.

“So does that mean you are going to stop harassing me?” She stands with one hand on her hip.

“Depending on my mood.” I bite my bottom lip, fuck she is beautiful, why couldn’t she be the one I’m saying I love you too.

“Ahh, fuck, means you’re going to be a total dick head instead.”

I laugh and put my arm around Bo. “I’ll still let you suck my dick if you’re desperate to still have a piece of me.” Oh fuck, I’m getting naughty thoughts of her mouth around my dick.

“Fuck off Adam, in your dreams.” She playfully hits my chest.

“I love messing with you.” My hand slides down her back.

“Yeah, and I love you too Adam.” She blushes but doesn’t hide it from me this time.

We stop and my eyes find Bostyn’s, there was something in the way she was looking at me. Now I’m wondering what the fuck is going on, has she changed her mind?

“You are both as bad as each other.” Blake rolls his eyes at us, and we both laugh to brush it off before we got back to looking at this guy. Blake disappears off leaving me alone with Bostyn.

“So, what do you think my best option is here?” Jimmy is a high loan shark and has many people in debt, this isn’t going to be easy, and I do still want to help Lucky out.

Bostyn taps her bottom lip. “Well...” She gazes at me, there goes that little twinkle in her eyes I love. She pulls me down to her level and whispers in my ear. “I know someone who can make him disappear.”

“Little Bo Peep...” She surprises me yet again.

She still has hold of my collar. “You never heard me say anything okay, but if it comes to it, I have an alternative option for you.” She licks her lips and has my pulse racing.

“I think I love you even more now. If I wasn’t seeing someone, I’d kiss you.” We are so close to each other, and the electricity which is firing back and forth between us has me doubting myself, I’m sure she is fighting her emotions of wanting me.

“Aww, my big boy going all soft now?” She laughs it off.

“Thanks that will make Clover relax a bit.” I give Bostyn a hug and she fits perfectly in my arms.

“So you really have fallen for her then?” Her voice vibrates against my chest.

“She scrambles my brain and makes me hard.” I am talking about what is happening at this moment right here with her, my true feelings for Bostyn are leaking out. My brain is all mixed up at what is happening between us.

“I didn’t need to know that bit. So, you’re a man whore who is totally pussy whipped then” She chuckles, trying to hide a silly grin as she pulls away from me and sits down at the computer putting some distance between us.

I rest one of my hands on her shoulders and lean down next to her ear. “Well, I never got to taste your pussy, and you never got to experience what pleasures my tongue could do to your pussy, so we will never find out now will we?” My lips are so close to her skin I want to kiss the soft spot next to her ear. Her breathing has changed, and she swallows.

“We better finish up here.” She changes the subject and starts tapping the keyboard. We source more information until we think we have enough.

“Thank you, Bo.”

“Anytime softie.” She winks at me and smiles.

“The only thing soft about me is my heart.”

“So, when do we meet Mrs Softie?” Bostyn gulps and tries to hide it.

“I have to call her, but she will be coming in at 3 pm with her friend.”

“Wow she has a friend and you’re not poking her as well?” Bostyn makes an exaggerated gasp.

Not knowing what we are to do as the chief has disappeared off, so we decide to go for a coffee. I start talking about Lucky and how much I enjoy having a woman next to me when I wake up, but I stop as Bostyn turns away from me.

“Hey, Eddie’s hasn’t got a girl, why don’t I try setting you up with him?”

“Not my type, Adam.” She sighs and chews her bottom lip.

“Oh, and what is your type then?”

“None of your business Mr Softie.” Bostyn glances at me and smirks.

“Aww come on tell me?” I grab Bostyn by her belt, she is playing with me now.

“Nope you’re not going to try and set me up with anyone, I’m happy as I am.” She moves to bend down to retrieve cups out of the cupboard.

I’m staring at her ass, wanting to take hold of her and pull her into me. I reach out for her, and I have to stop myself. Swearing under my breath, I turn and pull out my phone to ring Lucky.

“Hey, do you think you can come down for 3pm with Zara? I don’t want you to be on your own.” I want to give her a chance, maybe there is something between us and this is the first real relationship I’ve had.

“Yes, okay, I’m missing you, and my pussy is missing you.”

“Aww fuck... Touch your pussy for me.” She has me imagining her lying spreading her legs for me.

“Adam, aren’t you at work?” Cha chuckles down the phone at me.

“Yes, I’m in the break room getting coffee with Bo-peep.”

“Bo-peep?”

“Yes it’s what I call her, we partner up sometimes depending on what jobs we are on, don’t worry I haven’t fucked her. She’s not like that.” I glance over at Bostyn, but she is keeping her back to me.

“Okay, I love you, Adam.”

“Love you too, so tell me, how wet is your pussy for me?” I’m staring at Bostyn all the time I’m speaking to Lucky and my cock is growing hard.

“Oh my pussy is so wet for you; I want to feel your huge cock fucking it.”

I’m standing with a raging hard-on now and I groan as Lucky continues talking to me down the phone. I excuse myself and disappear off to the closest men’s room. Taking my cock in my hands I wank off as we have phone sex. I hang up and clean myself and the mess I have mad. Fuck I needed that after the tension between Bo and me. I wash my hands and head back to the break room. The chief is there.

“Ahh, so Mr big and hard gone all soft now?” Bostyn sets herself off into a fit of giggles.

“Well, I have something for you and Bo.” The chief sighs at me. “I take it Miss Jones will be here for 3 pm?”

“Yes sir, her and her friend.” I confirm with the Chief.

“Right I want you both to go to this victim, she has rung in with regular reports about her husband beating her but she never presses charges on the guy, we want you to see if you can get a statement off her and to make sure she is alright.”

“Okay chief, we will keep you informed.” Bo grabs the details, and we head off to the victim’s house.

She still won’t press charges against her husband, and we can’t do anything unless we see him harm her. We head back after a wasteful journey and grab some food on the way back, I pull over and we eat in the car.

“Mmm, so good.” Bostyn moans as she bites into her burger.

“Fuck Bo-peep why do you have to make those sexy noises?” I know she wasn’t doing it on purpose but she has got me wondering what noises she would make if I had my way with her.

Bostyn finishes her food in silence, I keep glancing over at her and she notices. When we have finished, she can’t help but giggle.

“What?” I furrow my brow slightly amused by her.

“You got some sauce right here.” She leans over and with a finger wipes it off my lip. I grab her hand and suck on her finger rolling my tongue around it.

“Adam.” Bostyn blushes but doesn’t remove her hand.

I let go of her hand. “Fuck, I’m sorry; I don’t know what came over me. I thought I had everything worked out, I’m a fuck up, I can’t think straight with you around me all the time.” I cover my face with my hands.

“I’ll ask the chief to put someone else with you when we return back.” Bo stuffs all the empty rubbish into the bag.

“Shit, he’s going to think the worst of me, please don’t, you’re the only woman who will work with me in the station, I’m sorry I won’t let it happen again.” I still want Bostyn, if only she would say she wanted me, I’d jump at the chance and finish it with Lucky.

Bostyn rubs her temples. “Okay, Adam. We better go back anyway. Your woman will be waiting for you.” There is a slight upset in her voice. I know she likes me more than what she is letting on, but she doesn’t take it any further. I have committed myself to another woman and I must give it a try if Bostyn isn’t wanting more. The drive back we try to make some jokes between us to lighten the mood, but it isn’t the same. By the time we get back, the rust bucket of a car that is Zara’s is parked up and I do find myself getting excited about seeing Lucky again. I walk off leaving Bo running to catch me up.

“Wait up Mr Softie.”

As we walk inside, Lucky is sitting with Zara, talking to the chief. As soon as she sees me, she flings her arms around my neck and kisses me in the middle of the station, and everyone is looking. Chief coughs to bring our attention back.

“You should see them at home.” Zara laughs, but I now feel conflict again and it is giving me a headache.

“No thanks I get enough of him at the station.” The chief rolls his eyes at me then proceeds to say the coroner is ready whenever Clover is.

“Thanks chief. Bo this is Lucky.” I feel awkward and would rather be somewhere else.

“It’s nice to meet you, Mr Softie here doesn’t shut up about you and he is beginning to get on my nerves.” Bo jokes and bites her bottom lip. Got I wish she would stop doing that.

“Mr Softie?” Lucky scrunches her brow together.

“My nickname for him as he has gone all soft and mushy in the head.” Bo reaches up and ruffles my hair.

“Well, I’m glad it’s not his dick you’re talking about.” Lucky eyes us both up.

“Nope, he doesn’t shut up about that either.” Bo chuckles and punches my arm.

Lucky laughs and we joke about; I sling an arm around Bo. “You know how much I love winding you up Bo-peep.” Or how much I do love you, but that isn’t going to happen. She laughs it off and lets me take Lucky down to the coroners. We walk up to the table; Zara had stayed outside the room. When the cover is pulled back Lucky breaks down.

“Oh, Dad. I’m so sorry I thought you were safe.”

“We will get these guys.” I take her hand in mine and give it a squeeze. “I’ll give you a minute alone if you like?”

She nods her head and I leave her to it and head out the doors where Zara is waiting. We stand in silence, I’m not sure what to say. Lucky comes out. “He looked so dead, I mean some people explain it like they are sleeping or something but to me, he is just dead.” She wipes her face and sniffs.

“It might be your brain trying to process it.” I try to comfort her.

“Yeah, Adam’s right, you know he is dead, and maybe your brain expected something else?” Zara shrugs.

“Yes, you are right. So, what do I do now then?” Lucky glances up at me.

“Well, we got to find out if this Jimmy guy is coming after you now.” I give her a sorry look, but something tells me she already knows the answer.
