A/N: Based on Mister Reedus' character Derek Lord from Law & Order. It will be based after the episode. So he might get a little angsty. Hope you enjoy, please review. This chapter isn't very long. I promise it will get interesting later on.

Derek's head shot up from his drink when the door to the bar opened. It was a down pour out in the streets of New York city. He had tried to keep low after the Jamie Hoskins case. Everyone turned there eye's at him and sneered as he passed them. They saw him as a crazed psychopath trying to have his fifteen minutes of fame. He starred at the tiny frame that dripped soaking wet at the bar. The dark curls escaped from the messy bun on top of her hair. She shivered under the large leather jacket Derek only guessed was heavy from the rain. He tilted his head at the way she stumbled in those large platform heals to the bar. Her eyes looked exhausted. He watched as she shrugged off the coat and let it hang from the back of a bar stool, closes to the radiator. Derek licked his lips trying to pry his eyes away from the curvy body under the short, tight, navy blue dress. It hugged her body all the right ways.
"Just red wine please." Her voice was raspy and it cracked slightly. It gave Derek chills down to his ball. The plump dark pink lips would be perfect around his cock.
He clutched the clear glass cup in his hand. No woman wanted him after that fucking case. They didn't want all the 'baggage' and emotional trauma he carried. He slumped back into his chair and sighed. The headache he was starting to get pounded his head. He just wanted to get to his apartment and hide under the large comforter that would provide him warmth he needed.
He blinked and looked back at the woman, she could provide the warmth he needed. He took one deep breath and picked up his drink. Walking toward her he noticed the light marks on the back of her neck. He squinted his eyes. They looked like teeth marks.
Derek rubbed his bottom lip with the nail of his thumb.
"Hi." He forced a smile as he slid into the seat next to her. "I just wanted to say your very beautiful."
The girl looked up at him, her eyes were a very pale green, almost sage. She had dark circles around them. She laughed under her breath. "You going to ask if I'm hurt when I fell from heaven next?" She raised an eyebrow at him.
Derek almost laughed at her abrupt voice. She was tiny and had some lazy eyes but her voice was strong.
"No actually I was going to ask you if I could buy you a drink?"
Her lips curved up, and the dimples next to her smile were deep. His heart lept, she was absolutely beautiful.
He waved down the bar tender and ordered another glass of red wine for her and a Screw driver for himself.
"Im Derek."
"Ruby." Her name rolls off of her tongue.
The bartender places their drinks in front of them.
"That's a very pretty name, Ruby," He repeated.
Her slender fingers circled the rim of the wine glass. The long sleeves of her dress came past her wrist.
"It was my grandmothers name. She died before I was born. Supposedly she did 'great' things." Her fingers came up in quotation marks at the work great.
"Well, I think it's a very pretty name." Derek leaned in a little a caught a whiff of her perfume. It wasn't heavy like most woman's but strong enough to make his cock twitch. "It's like saying your as priceless as one."
The petite woman beside him chuckled. "Okay, let's cut to the chase." She turned to him fully. "Your going to buy me a couple of drinks, then your going to talk me up. Try and convince me to come back to your place, or mine, and then we're gonna fuck. Then in the morning you sneak out or call me a cab and then you promise to call, but never do." She tilted her head. Letting some of her hair fall out of the bun. It dripped wet.
Derek rubbed his lips with his middle finger. She was right he would do all of those things, but not to her. She was much different then some bimbo he would usually pick up.
"Well then, how a bout we switch it up?" She looked around the bar making sure the damn media weren't around. "Let me take you out. Somewhere nice."
She raised her eyebrows. "Then we fuck?" She smiled.
He nodded and laughed. "Then we fuck."
