Author's Note: This is a reposting of a story I wrote a while ago. Since I am having writer's block for the other two stories I am writing I thought I would revisit this one for inspiration. Also, if you are unaware, they just recently restarted this series online. I have watched the episodes and they are worth looking into. I will try to post this story every day and maybe start a sequel within this universe. The story was a prompt by someone, I can't remember exactly what but if you like it let me know and I will try to keep going with it. Other then that enjoy!

First Meet

Nora Delaney walked straight to her target, her walk in full force being both promising and demanding. She was always confident; a strength she attributed from her experience and knowledge. She was a good person, but she always knew she was a great cop. It was branded into her at birth. She was strong, level headed, and determined. She knew what made a good cop but something that she learned from her father, which few cops ever really grasped, was pride. He always told her, "Take pride in your work Nora, if you don't take pride in what you do then it's not worth doing." Ever since she was little she did just that. She knew who she was and what she wanted.

Nikki Beaumont was known to be unattainable. She was always on her own schedule and that always suited her well. She got what she wanted, the way she wanted, and when she was done she left. She never had a problem with it. Everyone she had ever been with knew that, almost from day one. She was a loyal friend and one hell of a cop, but as a lover she was like a river: fluid and in constant movement. It didn't matter how much they wanted to try for a permanent relationship, she could see it in their eyes that they already knew it was impossible. She never thought she would want to be contained, kept, or connect.

"Hello there beautiful. How was work?" Gavin Alexander asked his girlfriend of almost a month. He never once pictured himself with a cop, but damn if she wasn't the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

"It was good, I got some interesting news today… Dan got promoted. I'm getting a new partner Monday." Nora said as she took the Corona waiting for her at the bar. She had to admit she was interested in who the department would team her up with. Before they teamed her up with Dan, she had three other partners, none of whom she couldn't stand. She found that they never really connect with her on the same level, not that she was a hard person to get along with, it just seemed like they never really opened up enough to trust her, or themselves for that matter. She knew confidence, and she needed a partner who was confident in what they were able to do and knew their limits without limiting themselves.

"Well I'm sorry cher." Gavin said as pulled her hips to his and went in for a quick kiss. He loved that she was so strong but when it came to their relationship, she let him in… to some extent. He just felt like even after a month she was still holding back. He always thought it had something to do with her job, but he never really asked.

"Yeah well… it happens." Nora said as she pushed herself away from Gavin's reach, sat at the bar, and took a drink out of her beer. She looked around at the club they were in. It wasn't her type of club, but she did enjoy the night air, and it helped to get out. But something was different about tonight. She couldn't describe what it was but there was something in the air. It was just… different. It was something she had never felt before, it intrigued her. She was about to ask Gavin something before she was pulled out of her thoughts by looking at this couple about a dozen feet behind Gavin. She had seen two women kissing before but this was different, as she took another sip of her drink she looked over again and saw two distinct brown eyes blazing back at her. She couldn't tell if she knew the woman or not but no one she had ever known looked at her with that intensity. It sent a weird chill down her spine, but she shrugged it off as the beginning of her buzz.

"Shit, I'm sorry Nora but I have to go. I'll call you later?" Gavin said as he got up put a twenty on the bar, gave Nora a kiss, and left for work. Nora knew that dating an EMT would be just as bad if not worse than dating a doctor or a cop. You never really stop being either one of those even after hours. It was one reason they all tended to have higher divorce rates, well that and the long hours. As she looked over to where the couple was before she found they had moved, but she all of a sudden found she felt like she was being watched. She couldn't pinpoint exactly where they were, but she could feel them. It was the same brown eyes as before... she just knew it.

"So tell me... does your boyfriend always invite you out and leave before you finish?" Nikki asked this beautiful woman she had never seen before. She wanted to know more, she needed to. It was her nature: lust. It was simple and pure, but lust was so much more than that, and she could tell this venture would be just as complex.

"Well, you would be surprised at how often that happens." Nora said with a smile. She knew she was being hit on, and she was never attracted to women. She was going to tell her that, but she wanted to see how far this woman would go. "But what about you, you always leave women you make out with for another one in less than five minutes?" Nora said with a smile, she loved cocky people; they were so fun to take down a peg or two.

"Well only when I meet them ten minutes before and I find something better. I have to say, I did make a better move, don't you think?' Nikki said. She knew that this woman would most likely be in denial, but she could tell she was interested, this kind of play was flirting and whether she realized it or not, this straight woman was straying. And Nikki would love to be the one she strays to.

"Well you must be moving a lot, and I highly doubt you will find me interesting... or interested." Nora said, she had no idea why, but she didn't want to stop playing this game. She knew she wouldn't let herself get very far, but she was having fun. Well at least it was interesting.

"Oh believe me, you'll find you will be interested. You would be surprised at how interesting I can be." Nikki said as she moved very close to the beautiful dark skinned and blonde haired woman. She had to admit she never thought she would be so drawn to green eyes, but they were pulling. her. in. "Plus I want to see if I can get your eyes the color of envy."

"And how would you do that?" Nora said a little taken by her forwardness, but she was still not mentioning the fact that she was involved with someone and that she didn't cheat while in a relationship. 'Forgetting something?' Her subconscious thought as she looked down towards full lips.

"How about a few shots and we will see if I can get two sins with one stone." Nikki said with a wicked smile, knowing that this would lead to a very interesting night.
