Chapter 7: Having Fun

Scotty finished with a sigh and rolled off her, Lilly raised a hand to wipe the damp hair out of her eyes. "Now that, I am going to remember" she whispered and Scotty chuckled.

"So I take it that you ain't mad at me?" he asked

"Mad at you? Scotty that was amazing" Lilly replied and Scotty grinned broadly "Something we may have to do again" she added

Scotty rolled her back over, pressing his lips against hers, delighting in the loud moan she let out. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her body against hers. A loud grumble emitting from Scotty's stomach broke them apart and Lilly chuckled.

"Guess I am hungry" Scotty said "Must be all the exercise we just had" Lilly giggled as Scotty reached over the side of the bed to retrieve his boxers. "I'll go order us some food" He slipped out of bed and Lilly sighed contentedly.

Scotty returned a few minutes later having ordered Chinese food and he walked into the bedroom. "Lil, dinner will be..." he trailed off as he notice the room was empty. He frowned slightly and walked across the hallway to Annie's room, there she was, sitting in the small chair by the window. He noticed, renewed tears, streaming down her cheeks. "Oh Lil" Scotty breathed and he crossed the room and squatted in front of her "She's really gone Scotty" she said softly "For just five months I had a little girl and now she's gone" Scotty placed a hand on Lilly's leg, the warmth of her hands soothed her "It was probably my only chance to have a baby and now I am all alone again" she put a hand on top of Scotty's.

"Lil, you ain't alone" Scotty said "You have me and no matter what happens Lil, I'll always be there for you" he promised.

Oh how Lilly wished she could believe him, wished that the beautiful words he'd spoken would make her feel better but she knew from experience, both in her personal and professional life that what people say and what people do are two entirely different things. So Scotty telling her that he'd always be there for her was something unlikely to happen. Sure right now he was there for her, saying and doing all the right things, distracting her with kisses that made her head spin and the most fantastic sex of her life but eventually he'd go back to Philly and meet someone, fall madly in love and then she really would be all alone...again. She wasn't about to delude herself into thinking that the past twenty-four hours were anything other than physical. She needed to feel close to someone and Scotty was just there. It was just sex nothing more and when he went back to Philly that would be it.

It would be exactly like her relationship with Ray; Ray had told her that he loved her, cared about her despite all the irritating faults that made everyone else run a mile, they'd almost gotten married in Nashville, Ray had even sold his bike to by her a wedding ring but they didn't go through with it. But then after all their years together he'd left. Sure he'd come back into town occasionally, always when she was single and felt particularly alone almost he sensed it. At first Lilly enjoyed it, she got a secret thrill whenever she heard his motorbike roaring outside her window. He knock on her door, shot her that cockily smile, she'd let him in and then..., and like always he'd be gone in the morning.

She told herself time and time again that he obviously had somewhere to be and he didn't want to wake her up, but after ten years of flirting and one night stands...that to Ray she was just another woman to sleep with, to love for all of five minutes then move on. Eventually she had severed that tie to Ray, told him not to come back anymore and he'd agreed. So she knew that her relationship with Scotty wouldn't be any different.

They returned to the bedroom and Scotty carried in the takeaway, handing her chopsticks. "This smells great" Lilly said as she opened up the container of fried rice and chicken. He nodded and took a bite out of an egg roll "Better than the crap we normally get"

"Greasy though" Lilly replied, wrinkling her nose.

Scotty shrugged and grinned cockily "We'll work it off later" he said and Lilly giggled.

"So sure of yourself aren't you"

Scotty chuckled again and lent forward to kiss her on the cheek.

Lilly woke up the next morning completely satisfied and refreshed, Scotty was still asleep. She grinned and pressed a kiss to his forehead, giggling softly as he frowned in his sleep and wrinkled his brow.

It was like she was walking on air the whole morning, that weekend had been amazing. She couldn't believe that in the seven years they'd worked together they never even thought to have sex; she had a lot to catch up on she thought with a smile.

"Morning boss" Gina said, handing her a cup of coffee

"Hey" Lilly replied taking a large sip out of the mug, triple strength, just the way she liked it.

"You have a good weekend?" she asked Lilly, there was something about the smile plastered on her boss's face that was different, Lilly normally wasn't that cheery.

"Yes and No" Lilly replied "Chris showed up, and she left for Philly with Annie"

"Oh I am sorry Lil"

"It's alright, Scotty comforted me, he's been really...great"

"Tim and Dana are bringing in Hanson for a little chat" Gina said

"Great, all the evidence is circumstantial though so we need a confession" Gina nodded and walked back to her desk.

Lilly walked back to her office, sinking back into her chair and watching the traffic down below.

...

As the morning went on, Lilly's mood got progressively worse. Tim, Dana and Gina had all tried to crack their suspect and he wasn't budging, looks like it was up to her.

"Hey you" a familiar voice sounded behind her. Smiling, Lilly turned around and saw Scotty standing close to her.

"Hey yourself" Lilly replied

"You okay Lil?" Scotty asked her curiously

"Just frustrated, can't get this arsehole to confess" she said "Hey you wouldn't wanna...nah never mind"

"No, what?" Scotty asked

"Maybe you could give me a hand, old time sake"

A grin spread across his face and he chuckled "Sure Lil, if you're sure it's okay" Lilly nodded, handing her the case file "Brush up on the details and we'll go in, in a few minutes" Scotty nodded distractedly as he read over the case notes.

Five minutes later, they strode into the interview rooms.

...

The combination of Rush and Valens proved too much for Hanson and he crack, confessing to killing his wife and their three small children. Lilly and Scotty escorted him down to lock up, wearing matching grins.

"Just like old time" Lilly said as they walked back into her office.

"Exactly" Scotty replied as he walked up behind her and trailing his hands down her side, lowering his head to kiss her shoulder "You have a lock on your door right?" he asked against her neck.

Lilly tried to pull away but she felt her stomach swoop as he kissed the outer shell of her ear "Scotty" she whispered "We can't do this here" she protested weakly. He growled in replied, turning her around and lowering his lips to hers. A soft moan escaped her throat as he deepened the kiss, her arms went around his neck, her fingers threading through his hair.

Gina came around the corner and stopped short as she noticed her boss making out in the centre of her office with her old partner. She cleared her throat and they broke apart, Lilly blushing furiously. "Am I interrupting something?" she asked with a teasing grin.

"No...I was just about to leave" Scotty replied "I'll see you later Lil" Scotty skirted around Gina and hurried out of the bull pen.

"So, you think of him as your brother do you?" Gina said, reminding Lilly of what she had said a few days before.

"So we kissed, it's no big deal" Lilly said as she turned away, blushing even more intensely.

"I'd say it's more than just a kiss"

"So we are having a little fun, haven't you been telling me I need to relax and have some fun with a guy. I am taking your advise" Lilly replied "I've know Scotty for a long time now and it's not as if we are partners anymore"

"Lil, look I am glad you're happy but I gotta say casual sex with a friend never works out. It always ends in tears" Gina said

"Well it won't happen with us, I am not in love with him and he isn't in love with me, he goes back to Philly in a couple of days and that will be it" Lilly turned around to face her friend.

"I just don't wanna see you get hurt Lil"

"I'll be fine" Lilly stated "Trust me I know what I am doing"

She brushed past Gina and headed for the breakroom.
