Juliet was laughing hysterically and normally Shawn enjoyed that. He thought Jules had a lovely smile, and a cute laugh, but this laugh wasn't directed towards him or something he said. It was directed to the tall, muscular blonde man that was standing next to the petite junior detective. They seemed very familiar with each other.

Juliet would place her hand on his arm in a way that made Shawn think that they already knew each other and when he had arrived she had run over to him and he swung her up easily into his arms, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Something that made a horrible feeling dig into Shawn's stomach, something he wasn't so familiar with, at least not when it came to women.

Jealousy.

He was jealous that this man could come in and sweep Jules off her feet, literally, when he himself had yet to work up the nerve to ask her out. He stood there, watching the exchange, feeling the anger and jealousy well up inside of him. And before he knew it he was striding over to Juliet's desk, a fake smile plastered over his face.

"Jules!" he resisted the urge to wince at how fake that sounded.

"Hey Shawn." The laughter was still in her voice, but instead of soothing his fried nerves, it only served to grate on them.

"Hi." He looked over at the mystery man pointedly. Juliet noticed it and quickly introduced them.

"Oh, uh, Shawn this is James, James this is Shawn." She introduced the two and Shawn reluctantly took James's outstretched hand, squeezing it a little harder than entirely necessary.

"Nice to meet you, Juliet has told me a lot about you." Said James politely, shaking out his aching fingers.

"Really? She's never mentioned you." It was petty, but he didn't care, Jules was the girl that he had his eye on, and he wasn't going to let this James guy come in and sweep her off her feet.

"Well, I wouldn't expect she would, poor girl is always so busy with work." Replied James, not taking the bait and remaining as polite as ever, seeming to take pleasure in Shawn's discomfort.

"Yes, I certainly keep her busy." Shawn knew that you could read all sorts of dirty things in that sentence, and he knew that Jules could very well take out her gun and shoot him for implying but he just couldn't resist.

James merely smiled as color slashed across Juliet's cheeks, but both men noticed that she didn't contradict Shawn's statement.

"Look, I have some paperwork I have to go give to the chief, do you two think you can behave while I'm gone?" she mostly directed her statement at Shawn who just gave her one of his winning smiles as James nodded.

"Sure, I'll just wait for you and talk to Shawn."

She looked at them warily but gathered up the manila folders on her desks and tucked them in her arms, leaving for the chief's office, a little nervous about leaving the two of them alone.

"Shawn," started James once Jules was out of ear shot, "you like her don't you?"

"Sure, Jules is a great person…"

"No, I mean, you really like her." James was sure of himself.

"Yeah."

"So why don't you tell her?"

Now Shawn was confused, the jealousy and anger shoved underneath.

"Aren't you two…?" and he trailed off, gesturing to the air between the junior detective and the blonde man before him.

"What? No, Juliet is my sister."

"What?"

"Yeah, I came to visit her for the weekend, we aren't…eww."

"I'm sorry, I thought…"

"It's okay, no hard feelings, but if you don't go over there and kiss her right now, we will have a problem, because she's had a crush on you since the day you met."

"What?" he was still a little confused, Jules like him like that? She had always flirted back a bit, but stopped him when she felt he went too far.

"Your all she ever talks about, it's annoying as hell. She's always Shawn said this…or Shawn did that…you'll never guess what Shawn figured out today. Whenever I call her and ask how work's going she starts off with a Shawn story."

"She does?"

"Yes, now will you just go kiss her?"

Jules had stepped out of the chief's office and was starting towards the two men. She reached her desk and looked at them strangely, trying to gage their conversation, but she couldn't get a thing. So she grabbed her purse and pulled out her keys.

"You ready James?" she asked and he nodded before looking over at Shawn pointedly. Shawn looked back at him and quirked an eyebrow. James gave the slightest nod of the head before turning his back and Shawn smiled over at the younger, much more attractive, (in his eyes) O'Hara.

"Shawn?" she asked, confused.

His smile widened before he reached out and snagged her arm, pulling her into him sharply. She looked up at him in surprise, loving the feeling of him so close to her. He winked at her in his usual flirty way and leaned in, pressing his lips against hers lightly.

She gasped and he deepened the kiss quickly. She moaned against his newest assault, her brain faintly telling her not to kiss him in the middle of the police station in front of so many eyes, but she couldn't get herself to stop.

He pulled away from her gently and smiled when he opened her eyes to see that hers were still closed, her lips slightly swollen and parted, her breathing a bit heavy.

"I'll see you tomorrow Jules." He whispered softly in her ear and she shivered at the feeling. He pulled away from her completely and turned on his heel, leaving her in shock.

Oh yeah, walk away leaving them wanting more.

He liked Jules's brother James; this would be a family he could have a lot of fun with.
