A/N: Hey everybody! Sorry for the delay, I know that I haven't post a chapter like for months but I've a little vacation-bussy, with christmas thing and stuff. Anyway I also had been having writers block because I started reading a VinCat version of FSOG and I wasn't used to that kind of stuff, but then I understood that wasn't all about sex, blah, blah... Long story, the author knows what I mean... Anyway, on the other hand I recomended the story and also one that has become one of my favorites in this moment, is called A Dangerous Pusuit by JourneyWithMe. Finally I want to thank raniamahd for giving me the idea of the begining of this chapter. Here is chapter 4.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BATB OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS, I'M JUST BORROWING THEM FOR THIS.
At 7 p.m Vincent was sitting in the arm of Catherine's couch waiting for her to be ready. Some moments later he heard the steps of her heels on the wooden floor walking to the living room, when she arrived there she stood some meters away from him and put a hand on her waist.
"How do I look?" she asked him with a mischievous smile. Vincent froze there, his heart started beating faster, his breathing hitched in his throat by the breathtaking view he had in front of him. Catherine had a tight, silver dress that hugged all her curves and arrived just to half her thigh, with a high-platform heels, the make her look 3 inches taller, her hair was messy-straight and she had cat-like outlined eyes and red lips. She stand in front of him keeping her hand on her waist. "Well?" she asked again and in that moment Vincent realized he was ogling her, paralyzed.
He clear his throat before speaking "You look… Well, do you really want to know?" She nodded at him exasperated "Okay, well… I wouldn't say you look beautiful 'cause I don't think is your way of dressing normally, but hmm I´m going to say what is crossing my mind when I see you" He paused and tried to calm the reaction of his entire body. "You look… Hmm… you look really HOT Catherine" She blushed slightly but smile at him, he didn't know but Catherine notice his whole reaction, so, as strong and dry as he looks he's still a man, she thought to herself.
"Well, thanks Mr. Keller, that's the idea" She said with a flirting smile making him swallow hard. She move closer to him, her gaze was intense, Vincent started sweating because of her proximity, he could heard the beating of her raced heart, and then she stop inches away from him.
"Do you think the effect will last for long?" Her voice was like a purr. He hold his breath.
"If you keep those techniques, yes it will, and really bad" He managed to say.
"Well, that's great" she said moving away from him and getting back to the bad - ass Catherine. "Let's go" and with that she walked to the door and wait for him. Vincent was trying to control himself again, it was really heard after what she just did, for God's sake Keller you barely know her and you where literally ogling her, he quarrel himself, but of course he new that the reaction was more because he's still a man and he just reacted like any man would, having such a hot thing in front of him. He took a deep breath and stood up following Catherine through the door.
Two weeks later…
Catherine had been working on the case with Vincent and Tess's help. She got under covered several times, she had to play the prostitute role and buy drugs to the different dealers that were involved. The dealers had a rank inside the organization, that was why it was so difficult to find the head of the game, the dealers in the lower rank didn't know nothing about what was going on up of their heads, that was why they took care of the new clients like Cat, the day she started; and the highest ones, even knew in person the very own boss. She gained the trust of dealer after dealer until she finally got information about the head of the whole organization, they called him Cobra Alpha and he never appeared in any reunion or deals with his clients. He always send somebody else, they always where men of his complete trust.
Knowing this Catherine had to move inside his world to finally made him appear in front of her eyes, and that was what she was doing for the last five days until her efforts paid off; one of Cobra's closest man had talked about Catherine with him, of how beautiful she was and how amazing will be if his boss could take her to bed, that was because Cat avoid every man that tried to have sex with her by telling them that her boss only let her stick to their constant clients.
Cobra Alpha had personally called Catherine the night before to ask her out for a date, he told her that he'd heard about her beauty and that he wanted to see it with his own eyes, she was a little skeptical at the beginning but at the end she accepted.
Catherine started to get ready for her "date" with Cobra since 4 p.m and since then, Vincent was giving her a lecture and trying to understand how on earth she could accept a proposal like that.
"Are you really out of your mind Catherine?!" They have been getting a little closer in these two weeks. He finally managed to stop calling her "Miss Chandler" and she was glad about that, they also discovered that they made a great team. But he still didn't like the idea of her putting herself at so much risk.
"No, I'm not, and we already discuss this Vincent, this is my job and I'll do anything to finish the case, for Tess and Joe's reputation" She answered while approaching to him and asking for his help with the dress's zipper. He had to calm himself because of the sight of her naked back before pulling the zip up and when he did, his fingers slightly touched her skin, making her shiver a little, she took a deep breath and chill herself. He spoke after that.
"Yeah, I understand that, but seriously Catherine, going out with the rich and killer boss of a drug network is no the smartest thing to do" Catherine was going to answer but her phone began to ring.
"Chandler" She answered.
"Hey Cat, your bodyguard told us about your date with Mr. Cobra" It was Tess, Catherine looked at Vincent with a you-have-a-really-big-mouth face, he just shrug.
"Yeah, I'm getting ready for it"
"Well I call you because Joe want to know were and when we have to be in our positions to arrest that son of a bitch" Cat noticed how excited Tess was about it, but she had to explain what was her idea, she couldn't get exposed in front of so much people.
"Well Tess, actually I'm not telling you… You can't arrest Cobra today because the date is going to be in a restaurant, that is a really public place and we will be risking a lot of innocent lives if I got with the police there" There was a little silence over the other side of the phone.
"What! Catherine we've been working in this for so long and now that we have the guy, you don't want us to catch it? I don't get it"
"Tess is not that, it is dangerous, don't you think he is going to send some of his man there, disguised as customers? That will be rally risky. You are going to catch him but in a second date, I will gain his trust and make him take me to his home next time and when that happens you can have him" Tess waited some moments again.
"Okay, but what about your safety Cat?" Vincent was hearing the whole conversation and with that question he made a that's-what-I-told-her face. Cat smiled at him.
"Vincent is going to be there, if something goes wrong he will protect me" He nodded his head at her, that was actually the truth.
"Okay, I'll tell Joe, be safe Cat, good luck"
"Thanks Tess" and with that she hung up. Then she looked at Vincent "Well, are you ready to go, bodyguard?"
Catherine and Vincent arrived to the restaurant at 7 p.m and they sat in apart tables. Vincent was paying attention to the whole interaction between Catherine and the so called Cobra Alpha, they had been talking and eating for two hours and in that moment she was smiling, Vincent paid attention to the conversation between them.
"So, do you like the food Miss beautiful?" He had been calling Cat like that all night. Cobra turned out to be a decent man but in his face was evident the fact that he was a perv.
"Yes Mr. Alpha, thank you" He made a gesture with his hand to the waiter and moments later he brought the check.
"Please call me Logan. You want us to go to my place now, Miss...?" He expected that she told him her name too.
"Catherine, and I'll have to decline your invitation Logan, I hope we can meet at your house in another date because we have already loose part of the night by eating" He was surprised by her answer so he rised his eyebrows.
"You always make you clients wait like that?" He asked. Making Carherine smile.
"I don't go to dates with my clients, and I'm making you wait because you are special, you deserve a whole night with me" She put her most flirting smile.
"Expectation is the key?" He put the same smile. With that question and all the flirting thing Vincent clenched his jaw and fists, are you jealous Keller?, you can't be, he told himself. On the other table, Catherine nodded her head to Logan's question.
"So what do you think of going to my place on Friday?" He asked and she smiled again.
"That is only the day after tomorrow, but yes I'd love to, I'm going to ask my boss for permision and text you the hour"
"Great! I'll text you the address of my house. I'm already waiting for Friday, you are so beautiful"
"Thanks" It was the only thing she managed to say with Logan's ogling. After that, he payed the check and they headed out of the restaurant.
"They're coming for me in some moments, do you want me to take you somewhere?" Logan asked her, she shook her head.
"No thanks Logan, I don't think is a good idea us being so close together in a car, expectation, remember?" He smiled at her and in that moment a very luxurious car parked behind him.
"You're right Catherine, see you on Friday" and with that he walked inside the car and went away. When he was far enough for not seeing Cat anymore, Vincent headed out the restaurant.
"I seriously though your plan wasn't going to work, but it seems like your hotness drives men crazy" He said making Catherine smile.
"You think I'm hot?" He smiled back and nodded his head.
"You know you are, Catherine" She giggled and then call Tess to give her all the details for her to coordinate the operation, when she finished she hung up and look at Vincent.
"Let's go home, looks like tomorrow I have a date with Cobra and he got one with the police" He nodded and they went back home.
A/N: I think I've said enough up, so, just please review. Next chapter will be interesting.
