After watching the episode I felt inspired… someone had to write what happened inside that office, something we'll probably never know so I did it. I've no beta reader so all mistakes are mine, sorry for that. Enjoy & review, please!

Liutenant Flynn announced himself gently knocking at her door's office and smiling at her

"Hi"

"Hi"

"You got a minute?"

"Mmmh"

Sharon bit her lip shutting her laptop while Andy closed the door

"I just wanted to say… regarding this whole 'Julio-thing', you know I was looking after your best interests, right?"

He looked so serious trying to explain his reasons, almost embarrassed

"Andy I've been looking after my own best interests for a really long time now, especially at work. I don't need you for that"

"Okay, sure. I get it"

Her answer was predicted but it didn't hurt any less, he just took the blow trying to hide the disappointment and he headed to the door while she resumed her paperwork but then something made him change his mind. He was tired of playing their game, tired of waiting, of not knowing what she thought, what she felt and if she felt something for him, so his mouth spoke before he could stop himself.

"So… what do you need me for?"

She looked at him for a mere second but those gorgeous green eyes seemed to bore into his…

"Close the door, let's talk"

He simple nodded, a smirk on his face while he did what he was asked.

"The blinds too, please" she added

If they had to have that conversation she didn't want anybody to pry, team was about to leave after the long day but she preferred protecting their privacy. Sharon didn't know how she could look so calm and composed from the outside, her hands were slightly trembling so she hid them under the desk waiting for Andy to sit down. He had to admit he was surprised to see her so willing to talk and not about some random subjects, but about them and what was going on. He made himself comfortable sitting on one of the chairs in front of her desk and waited for her to start talking… after all, he posed the question.

"Andy, I know I postponed this conversation for a very long time and it wasn't fair to you, you're such a kind, patient man and a good friend and I feel like I've been taking advantage of this for too long…"

"Sharon…"

"No, let me finish" she got up pacing back and forth trying to steady her crazy heartbeat "Andy I…"

He could see her struggling to express her feelings but it wasn't only that: if he didn't know better he could think she was agitated and Sharon Raydor didn't do agitated at all, not if her kids weren't involved.

"It was a simple question Sharon, what do you need me for? You said you don't need me to protect you and I get it, you know how to do your job and take care of yourself, what I don't know is… what's my place in all of this? What's my place in your life?"

When she sighed without answering, he got up approaching her, almost trapping her against the wall, his chocolate brown eyes were so determined, so focused on her and when he was close enough to let his breath caressing her neck he repeated "What do you need me for, Sharon?"

She closed her eyes and bit her lip to prevent herself from moaning, what the hell was wrong with her? His warm breath, the smell of his aftershave, his closeness… she couldn't think clearly and she still hasn't answered his question. He grabbed her chin to look in her eyes "Stop biting that lip or I won't be responsible for my actions"

"Maybe I don't want you to…" she whispered

"What?"

"You heard me"

Oh he didn't need any more encouragement, he pushed her against the wall claiming her mouth. The kiss was frantic and passionate and the sexual tension exploded like a firework, he could bite and taste those lips like he had dreamt of for so long and it was incredible… he was finally kissing the woman he loved. Sharon wrapped her hands around him pulling the hair at his neck, exploring his mouth with her tongue and she felt so lightheaded, almost dizzy, wild so when his hands teased at her skirt's hem going underneath, she let him do it. When was the last time a man kissed and touched her like that? She couldn't remember and she didn't care because Andy's hands were gently brushing her inner thighs without rush, without greediness, his eyes were on her face ready to stop if she only asked him to.

His gaze unveiled so much more than lust and she could just stare back at him hoping he could read in hers everything she wasn't able to say yet. His fingers reached her lace panties playing with them a little then just pushing them aside and brushing her sex, Sharon moaned closing her eyes, the sensation was almost too much like his mouth on her pulse point sucking and nibbling… oh that man, he definitely knew how to use his hands! Their mouths met again swallowing her cries of pleasure, his hand was restless and her thighs kept pushing against it, Sharon felt so hot and bothered, she knew she was close and when he brushed her clit she came undone in his arms moaning his name. She buried her face in his neck suddenly embarrassed, he retreated his hand from her skirt and kissed her temple letting her know that was okay, that if it had been too much he… but then her hands went at his belt trying to unbuckle it.

"Sharon no" he stopped her

She looked at him confused and hurt

"I don't want our first time to happen like this against the wall in your office" he clarified "Even if I'm sure there will be plenty of time for that" he smirked and she hit him in the chest chuckling, she was relieved not being rejected but his thoughtfulness and sweetness made her laugh die and her eyes become watery…

"Andy Flynn, you…"

"I know, I'm irresistible" he kissed her

She captured his face in her hands brushing his cheeks tenderly with her thumbs "Oh Andy"

"You don't have to say anything"

"I know but it's time for me to stop denying my feelings..." she sighed mustering the courage she needed "I love you, I really do and it terrifies me"

"I love you too, I have for so long and it scared me too. I won't go anywhere, you're not alone anymore Sharon, we're in this together"

"We're in this together"

She nodded repeating his words trying to absorb them, to believe them because she had been hurt too many times from her ex husband that trusting any man seemed quite impossible. And yet Andy wasn't any man, he was the man who waited for her, consoled her and was there when she needed him, he was the one who took her to dinners and movies, the one she laughed and had fun with, he was her friend, her subordinate and now her lover. Andy noticed she was losing herself in her thoughts and brought her back to him "What happened tonight here was pretty overwhelming, I know, we got carried away but we don't need to rush anything, we can go at your pace and I can give you time if you…"

She kissed him hard shutting him up "I don't want to wait anymore, take me home Andy"

"Your wish is my command, Captain" he smirked and Sharon shook her head smiling

Who would have thought that just a simple "Close the door" could make all that happen? That could make them happen? Collecting her bag and coat Sharon felt happy and that was only thanks to Andy, to that amazing man who chose to be by her side, who chose her. A tear slipped down her cheek and he brushed it away…

"Hey, is everything okay?"

"It is now"

They shared one last kiss and left the office together.
