Chapter 2

Alicia's POV

I finally located Kalinda sitting at the hotel bar, a bottle of beer and a shot of tequila with a slice of lime on a napkin sitting waiting for me, her tequila gone already and her beer half drunk.

"Hey" she said as she got down from her bar stool to hug me then patted the stool beside her for me to sit. "There is no talking until you've drunk the tequila and had a few swigs of the beer".

I obeyed the coffee skinned investigator and as soon as I felt the shot burn my throat I reached for the beer and took a few gulps to extinguish the fire.

"Same again please" I called to the bartender, sliding the shot glasses back towards him.

About to say something I turned towards Kalinda only to find her studying me, again.

This was a new thing. Or at least I think it's a new thing. Ever since I found out from that despicable FBI agent that Kalinda was gay…..well bisexual really, things have been different between us.

Lara had intimated that the reason Kalinda couldn't commit to her was because she had a crush on me. I would like to say this was a total revelation but I'm not that naive.

Ok I missed my husband's affairs, one of which included a much regretted one night stand with Ms Sharma herself but I never missed for one second the feelings she had for me.

We became close in a heartbeat, something the very guarded Kalinda never did. She looked out for me, my kids and my reputation, which wasn't easy, especially when I have a husband, an ex-husband, hell bent on breaking all the rules.

Her devotion to me was particularly obvious in the build up to this trial. I had never been so taken care of; my kids had never been so well considered, not even by their own father who was too busy to pick up the slack and all because she had wanted to.

I felt my phone vibrate in my jacket pocket. Pulling it out, with a small apology towards my companion, I opened up the text. It was from the kids thanking Kalinda for taking them to their fathers where they were staying for the weekend. She had taken care of them again, as she had almost every night for the duration of the trial and several in the build up. I love how they have welcomed her and how they respect her. It makes what will happen between us so much easier.

"That was the kids. They just wanted you to know they've appreciated everything you've done for them while I've been otherwise occupied" I said to the investigator while quickly typing back a response.

"It was a total pleasure Alicia. They're great kids. You've done a good job. Be proud".

There were a few moments of silence as I downed the tequila while I contemplated her compliment.

"So 'Lara', how are things going there?" I ask turning towards her, gauging her response.

"It went" she succinctly replied then tipped her 2nd tequila down her throat eliciting a small cough.

"Really? I'm sorry to hear that. You seemed happy together" I tried to convey sympathy and placed my hand atop hers which was brushing the condensation off her beer bottle. Her hand stilled and she slowly turned her whole body towards me as she grabbed my hand with both of hers.

"I'm not. She betrayed my trust and took my power away from me, unforgivable actions. And I don't believe you're sorry about it being over either".

There it was, that look again, Kalinda's hungry eyes. I've been seeing them a lot more lately. The hooded almost opaque orbs drawing me in, lifting me up and being set back down to stare at her luscious wet lips, twitching slightly in anticipation or is that nerves. Taking a deep breath I realized I hadn't replied to Kalinda's accusation.

"You're right. I never liked her. She wasn't good enough for you. You were settling when you should have gone for who you really wanted" I almost whispered, slowly moving towards her.

"I couldn't. She was taken" she replied, also inching closer to me.

"From the past tense she isn't anymore. Time to take what's yours"

At that prompting she bridged the gap between us in one small lunge, landing squarely and passionately on my lips.

As if in one movement our hands were in hair and our tongues in each others mouths. Teeth were scraping down lips, eyelids were closed tight and breaths were heavy and ragged.

Pulling apart slowly gasping for breath there was nothing hidden between us anymore, our excitement was clearly evident not just to ourselves.

Suddenly feeling slightly embarrassed by my lack of self control I sat back too abruptly, eliciting a sigh of displeasure from her investigator.

"Sorry, that was too abrupt, I just felt a little uneasy. The people, the many eyes on us" I smiled and took her hand into mine again before continuing. "Perhaps we should...um...get a room. Before we get carried away again"

I had never seen her smile so wide and here eyes shine as brightly as she gripped my hands.

"You are too special to be fucked in a hotel room Alicia. I would much prefer to worship your body at my place"

I moaned at the passion in her words and in her eyes as I allowed myself to be lead out of the hotel.

Next chapter should be on its way quite quickly. I've already started sooooooo be sure to let me know what you're thinking x
