After the angst of the past few episodes, I needed to create some romance for these two. This story follow Sleepless Nights. Reviews are welcome and much appreciated. Thanks. Enjoy.
She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Her case was over. The murderer was in handcuffs, soon to be locked away for life. Catherine rubbed her temples as she walked out of the precinct. The past month had been extremely stressful. A fifteen year old girl had been found dead in an alleyway. She had been beaten and her body mutilated. The case riled the entire city and frightened many parents. The killer turned out to be a teacher at the school the girl attended. He had a sick fascination with her and snapped when she rejected him. Catherine didn't think she'd ever get the disturbing image of him once he let his true nature show. Pure insanity.
Now that the case was closed, Catherine had a free weekend. Joe told her and Tess to take the weekend off; they more than earned it. Both had quickly packed up and headed out, promising to meet up for coffee Monday morning. Tess was probably going to pass out in her bed and sleep.
The idea of her bed made Catherine smile. The past few nights, Vincent stayed with her. Though she had been too tired to do much of anything, he held her in his arms, while she discussed her theories about the murder case. She shed more than a few tears for the loss of such a young girl and the brutal manner in which she was killed. During those moments he just held her, rubbing her back, reassuring her without words that he was there for her.
Vincent got her through this case intact. She would have worked herself even more ragged if she didn't know he was at home waiting for her. She managed to drag herself away from her desk with thoughts of him and his strong arms.
She planned to thank him. A wicked smile lit up her face as she walked to her car. Catherine recalled her promise to herself a couple of weeks ago. It had been the morning after they both confessed their love. She watched him from the comfort of his bed while he pulled on a pair of sweat pants. She recalled wanting to lock them both in the room for the weekend so that she could make him tremble and cry in pleasure.
Catherine slid into her car and started the engine. She carefully merged with traffic and began making plans for the weekend. Her sister would be gone for the weekend. They would have the entire apartment to themselves. The refrigerator was stocked with food so there would be no need to go out.
After the hell and stress of the past month, she was finally going to indulge in the naughty fantasies she had dreamed up. They all starred Vincent!
