A/N: I found this on my laptop, and noticed it's been sitting there for a few years. I decided to post it, obviously, but I'm hesitant. I recall writing it for one of two reasons: Casey and Sarah kind of appeal to me, and I wanted to brush up on my sex-scene skills. So, BIG warning to you readers. The next chapter is definitely MA rated.


"And just so we're clear, sister, not interested."

What a lie.

For Colonel John Casey to not be interested in someone as beautiful as Agent Sarah Walker, he would either have to be gay or dead. And the Colonel was certainly neither of those. So of course, he lied. It was what he did for a living, after all. That, and killing.

Walker seemed to have known he was lying too, but she had ignored it, too worried about poor little Chuck. But nearly three years later, that statement seemed to hang in between the two agents, as they stood facing one another in Casey's bedroom. Wide-eyed, Sarah looked around, as if she had no clue as to how she wound up there.

"Walker-"

"Casey-"

He smirked, and she blushed, before Casey crossed his arms, and motioned for her to speak first. Chewing on her bottom lip, Sarah peered up at the man towering before her, suddenly shy. As she figured out what she wanted to say to him, she took the time to admire the cut of his slacks, and how well he filled out the hideous Buy More polo.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have followed you up here," she finally said, taking a step backwards. Sarah couldn't remember why she had in the first place; he was only going to change out of his work uniform, yet she had followed him. She could clearly see his amusement, and wanted to do nothing more but wipe off that smirk on his handsome face. She turned on her heel and began walking out, only to be stopped when he called out, "Walker!"

Turning back to face him and his stupid, handsome smirk, she nearly growled, "What?"

He took a few steps forward, easily standing within reach. Hooking his thumbs on his belt, he asked, "Why did you?"

Ignoring the urge to huff, or gouge his twinkling blue eyes out, she shrugged nonchalantly. "I wasn't paying attention. Won't happen again, Casey." She nearly missed the look of hurt that flashed across his face. It was quickly replaced by a lewd expression, where he curled his lip and perked a brow.

"Darn," he quipped.

Rolling her eyes, Sarah once more made an attempt to leave. This time it was his hand on her arm that stopped her. Glaring at the appendage, then back up at his face, she watched as he backed off with his hand raised in the air in surrender.

"What do you want, Casey?" she demanded, placing her hands on her hips. She eyed him up and down coolly, schooling her face into one of neutralism.

Sarah could clearly see all the dirty responses he had formulated, then surpassed, flash behind his blue eyes. Finally, he took another step back and placed his thumbs back onto his belt. The lewd expression was now replaced by stern professionalism. "Nothing, Agent Walker. I apologize for my behavior. Don't know what got into me," he professed.

Softening, Sarah gently took hold of one of his large hands and caressed his ring finger, where a wedding ring would have been had he chosen another path years ago. She could tell he had tensed when his back had gone rigid, and looked up to see his hooded eyes and parted mouth not far from her own. "Don't worry about it, Casey. It's nice to know you have emotions, other than anger."

He didn't seem to trust his mouth to say anything that wouldn't land him in hot water, so he merely offered her a low grunt in response. Pulling his hand from her gently grasp, placed it in his pocket and fought the urge to look at the ground like a little boy. "Don't you and the moron have a date, or something?"

Having the gruff and tough Casey back was a always a sure sign that he was over whatever just occurred. Smiling widely, Sarah decided that if he could pretend, so could she. "Yup."

Suddenly, his hand shot out and grabbed her arm, pulling her close. He leaned down, and growled, "Then get outta my room, Walker."
