Author's Note: Set somewhere around before Chris came about. Audrey, Nathan and Duke are all going to have a chapter. I don't know how many they'll have since I don't know how long I'll go with this. It's just a little fun for me. Hope it's fun for someone else!

Disclaimer: I don't own Haven or the characters, though I wouldn't mind owning Duke or Nathan quite honestly.

Chapter One: Duke

If the boxes weren't so heavy, he wouldn't need a break.

Duke had been rearranging things on his boat, getting shipments ready to go out. Maybe he was a crook, but that didn't mean Duke Crocker didn't work hard at what he did.

Sitting in his chair, he sank down into it letting his head fall against the back. With a lazy struggle he lifted his long legs onto the small flimsy table in front of him, and took hold of his drink. The beer he'd been nursing was now gone. He groaned, not wanting to get back up to grab another since he'd just sat down. He had gotten into a pretty decent seating arrangement.

Figuring that trying out his Jedi powers was a waste of time, he decided to push himself up from his comfortable position to get another. Before he could actually get anywhere, he stopped short.

"Audrey?" She stood in a trench coat tied around her middle, accentuating the curve of her waist. There was a small lift to the side of her mouth giving off a very dark, but flirty looking smirk. Her hair fell in loose waves around her shoulders. Strands blew around her jaw from the light breeze. Duke felt himself smiling at her, though he was downright confused as to where she'd come from and how he hadn't noticed her. Either way, he was glad to see her, as always.

Something hung from her hand. Looking down he saw she held an unopened bottle of beer between her fingers. "Is it Christmas?" He teased a little uneasily. Her legs were bare and the coat only hit a little below her knees. "Or...did I win a bet that I wasn't aware of?" The only other thing he could see she was wearing were black high-heels. He knew he was wrong at thinking Audrey might have been naked underneath the coat. This was Audrey Parker afterall.

She started away from the bridge of his boat, sauntering towards him like a lioness on prowl. Duke scratched the back of his neck then clapped his hands together, rubbing his palms slowly as he thought of something else to say. Or possibly ask. Audrey's smirk spread into a grin. Like she had him right where she wanted him. Was she serious right now? Was God bringing Duke into his good graces finally? Maybe this was a present? Wait, when was his birthday?

Reaching Duke, she flicked her gaze up, looking at him through her thick lashes. "I'm sure you can guess as to why I'm here." Her tone almost made him sway where he stood. The seductive tone in her voice was layed on heavily.

Audrey Parker didn't have to go to these extremes. He liked her- wanted her the way she looked any time he saw her. She didn't need to put on this little show, though he was fully enjoying it.

In regards to her question, Duke glanced up at the sky as if it held answers there. "Uh, no. No, actually I have no guesses. You filling me in would be greatly appriciated." Sarcasm came easily to him in so many situations. This being a new one, he tried to chalk it to memory. Note: more sarcasm the next time this happens. Which would more than likely be never.

He took the bottle from her and set it on the table beside him. Forcing his irrational thoughts aside for as long as he could hold out, which by judging how Audrey looked, wouldn't be for long.

"Seriously, thanks for the beer, but I don't understand why-" She smiled, pressing her fingers to his lips to cut him off. He held back anymore words that had been on the verge of being said. What were they? He had no idea. What else was there to do now? Of course, he could suck her fingers into his mouth, but his bodily functions weren't connecting well with his brain.

Audrey slowly moved her hands down her chest, letting him follow her movements as she pushed the collar aside, exposing more flesh. Her skin looked smooth and creamy, making Duke's mouth go dry. She took hold of the ties then, watching Duke wet his lips. She had to be kidding. This had to be a joke. A sick joke.

"I figured since you've done so much for me, it was only fair I return all those favors..." Without missing a beat, she pulled open the trench coat leaving Duke nothing to stare at but her, in a matching black lingerie set. A lacey bra held up her nicely shaped breats and small matching underwear hung increadibly low on her hips. He gulped in air, probably sounding like a virgin seeing his first half naked woman, but at the moment he didn't care so much.

He raised his hand, curling it into a tight fist, then bringing it to his lips to bite down so he wouldn't yell out a curse.

Before he could get anything out in words, or even a sound, Audrey let the coat slip from her shoulders. The trench fell down her arms and crumbled around her feet. The whole scene had Duke feeling lightheaded and completely off his game.

Letting him have no time to process, Audrey grabbed his shoulders with a firm grasp, leading Duke back until his legs hit something, causing him to move straight down. Thankfully, a chair was there to catch him. He wasn't sure if he would have been able to peel himself from the floor had there not been something to keep him from it.

"I know you prefer me in your shirt, but I thought this might do." His shirt? Like the night he'd found her? He would have liked to tell her he enjoyed her in anything, but as his mouth opened, she moved forward on him to straddle his lap. Now, his jaw simply hung. His whole body tensed and another part of him was tensing faster than the rest of him.

Duke made an attempt to look around them. It was broad daylight, anyone could see them. Evi could very well come back from wherever she'd gone. However, that little fact didn't help his nether regions calm down any. And it certainly didn't calm Audrey, for that matter.

Her fingers began working at the buttons on his shirt and Duke was letting it happen. Damn it. If this was bullshit and someone was going to pop out, laughing at him with a camera in hand-

The cool air hit his chest when her talented little hands made olympic timing in getting his shirt off. She smiled at him, not even giving him room to breathe. Or room between her warmth and his lap. He could hear himself breathing in deeply, then it coming out in a rush. This was happening repeatedly, and her rubbing into his neck like a damn cat wasn't helping.

"Audrey..." Breathe in, breathe out. He had to repeat it over and over in his head like a mantra. Unfortunetly, he had no words of wisdom from Buddha, to offer himself support for his certain...predicament.

Her thighs tightened, her arms wrapped around his neck and she looked at him again. "We could be caught," she said, her eyebrows rising and falling as she bit on her bottom lip. Was she trying to egg him on? "Yeah, we could. And you're a cop. What would happen if we were seen and reported?" Why the hell was he trying to stop this? His brain was yelling at him that something was off. Audrey wouldn't come to him. Not like this anyway. Yet here she was, basically offering herself on a silver platter.

Duke squeezed his eyes shut when he felt her warm mouth on his chest. Breathe in, he told himself. It wasn't working. His breath was ragged and coming out in short bursts that he couldn't get control over.

As he felt Audrey lift off and away from him, Duke's eyes popped open. But no, she wasn't done with him. He hated himself for being thankful. He should have been doing the right thing. He should have been talking Audrey out of it, or at least figuring out what was going on. But she was standing behind him, bent down with her soft chest against the back of his neck, so his mind was occupied at the moment. But he was Duke Crocker. No one would expect him to be the "good guy" in the situation. The lower part of himself was cursing at him to stop thinking and just do.

Lower and lower, her hands traveled to the button of his jeans where she paused, making him swallow hard and adjust in his chair.

"Do you know how long I've wanted you, Duke?" She undid the button with one hand, two fingers. Duke felt her tongue flick out against his neck.

"Nope."

When he heard his zipper pulling down, he turned his head to the side. Audrey's mouth was already waiting there. She leaned forward, licking his bottom lip in a playful manner. Duke's lower half had finally caught up with the rest of him. Raising one hand, he let it glide up Audrey's arm until reaching her shoulder, pulling her forward a bit more. It felt completely right, her being the one to pull him into the better part of himself. If anyone would change his ways, it would be her. He knew that now.

With a small smile, Audrey began working her hand under the waistband of his briefs and all soft thoughts floated out of his head. "I've wanted you, for as long as you've wanted me," she spoke against his neck.

Duke smiled at that, his eyes closing. "Yeah, well I've pretty much wanted you since the first time that I saw you." He leaned forward more, searching for her mouth...searching...

"I know you have and I don't want you to wait anymore, Duke. But I can't do this with you when you don't even think you're good enough for me."

It'd be nice not to wait anymore, but the damned woman was making it rather difficult- wait. What had she said? When had he told her that?

Something smacked him in the face. Hard. A wall? Grunting and forcing out a rather brutal curse, he used his shaky arms to haul himself up, realizing then that he'd fallen out of his chair.

"Thanks for letting me-" He glanced around his boat for a sign of...anyone. "Audrey?" He called out, pushing himself up to check up and down the dock. No one. She took off?

If he was honest with himself, his pride was really wounded. He'd fallen out of the chair trying to kiss her, embarrassing himself. And to make matters worse, she'd booked it off his boat, off the dock and out of sight. The tease. Or maybe that had been her plan all along? Screw with him? He knew it!

Deciding not to let Audrey off the hook, he set off to find the infuriating woman. Dare he'd mention his bruised ego when he saw her?

All he knew was that he needed answers and he needed to find Audrey. She wasn't in her place at the Gull, so that left one more place she'd be.

Nathan's side.
