Andy's POV

Now that it was quiet and Andy was alone with Sharon he could see she was exhausted. Actually he could see exact second all Sharon's energy left her body. Andy was sure she had been running on pure adrenaline while dealing with that idiot. He have to say he was proud of how she handled Foster. Andy known she didn't need him and she had proved it again today. Yes, she didn't need him but he liked her to know he was there if she ever did. Sharon always amazed him on how strong of a person she was. He was worried now though on how tired she looked but he knew to give her space for a little bit but he didn't want to be too far a way from her. Andy had left her pain medication by her bed but he could tell from her posture and the pain in her eyes she hadn't taken them yet. The pain she was in must be extreme and now with all her other injures, he knew from experience that her hand had to hurt too. That was a great punch she laid on that scumbag, Andy didn't know she had that in her. Don't get him wrong he knew she was a tough cop but Rulebook Raydor didn't go around decking A-holes even if they deserved it. That was usually where him or Sanchez came in.

Andy was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets keeping a close eye on her as she took the couple unstable steps to the couch, he was relived when she sat down. Andy didn't want to make her mad if he had to rush over and help her but he knew she was dizzy and he would do it. At least with her sitting he didn't have to worry about her falling and hurting herself more. Andy looked back over at her when he heard her weak unsteady voice, "I know we need to have this talk." Well, great that didn't sound to convincing. Andy was hoping it was more because she was tired then not wanting to actually talk with him. Andy knew this wasn't the time for their talk. It could wait until tomorrow or when she was up to it besides he wasn't going anywhere whether she liked it or not. He was willing to give her the time she needed. "I just need a few minutes to rest," she said in weary voice. Andy was sure she needed much more then a few minutes she probably needed a full day or more of rest just to help her recover from today. He needed to get her to understand that he would wait until she needed him. Granted Rusty was the one that called him to come help with Sharon, Andy used it an excuse for him to get to see her.

Hearing her say "now, would be the time to run again," Andy had to admit that those words hurt. He felt them pierce right into his heart. Sharon had the right to say them and she had the right to except him to leave her again. He had done it to her before. This incredible women had been through more crap then anyone should have to go through in a lifetime and here he was adding to her pain. Andy knew that's what she went through with Jack with him leaving her over and over again. Andy needed her to know it had nothing to do with her and everything to do with the idiot men in her life. Even if she didn't have it in her to forgive him for his part of the pain he had caused her lately. Andy needed to show her he would always be her friend no matter where their relationship went. He would start by not leaving her ever again.

Pushing away from the wall Andy went into Sharon's bedroom to get her painkillers and the now cold tea. Well, she'll just have to use it to get the pills down until he could make a fresh cup for her. Going over to the couch he stood looking down at her for a minute just to take the time to look at her as she relaxed for a moment. Seeing the now fading bruises still made him angry that he wasn't there to stop that from happening. It should have been him and not her. She looked gorgeous to him as her hair flared out around her leaned back head. Her eyes were closed but he could picture the vibrant green color. Andy did want to disturb her but he needed her to know he was staying. He said in a determined voice, "I'm not going anywhere." Andy felt bad when he saw her jump causing her to let out a moan, the last thing he wanted was to cause her more pain. Their eyes stayed on each other as he came around in front of her. Ok he had to admit him kind of pushed the pills at her, it was because he knew she didn't take them before and she needed to stop not taking her pills no matter what came up. Even a idiot knocking on her door. Seeing that she wasn't going to take the pills he was offering he said a bit frustrated at this stubborn women, "damn it Sharon, take them now. You don't have to be in pain."

Andy was completely unaffected by the glare Sharon was giving him, well in the way she wanted it to affected him he was sure. If he ever told her that the Raydor glare turned him on he wondered if she would still give him that look. Though when she took the pills and their hands barely touched now that affected him even more. Andy was surprised on how such a slight touch could send electricity sparks through his whole body ending up in a part that was right near where her hand was. Andy tried to pull it off as nothing happened but when he heard Sharon let out an involuntary moan. He knew it their touch affected her the same way too. It was harder then he thought to see her sitting on the very couch where the best night of his life took place or at least where it had all started that Sunday evening. Andy was pretty sure the want he felt for her was blazing in his eyes. He would be more than happy to carry her off into her bedroom or any other room in her place for that matter and fulfill a few of his dreams.

Watching her carefully as she took the cup from him, he could see that Sharon made sure she to avoid touching him again. That just made him even more sure that just that touch had the heat building inside her too. Andy smiled down at her. He couldn't stop the knowing smile if he tried but he was here to help her not hurt her and he knew her body wasn't ready for anything intimate right now. Even if their were in a better place in their relationship or whatever they were to each other. He heard Sharon say a soft "thank you," after she took the pills. He was happy to get her to finally take them. So she could get some relief of the agony she was in.

Getting Sharon to take the pills was just the first part now he needed to get her to eat something and rest. Andy was sure that the later two will be as hard as getting this hardheaded defiant women to take her medication. "Besides the kid gave me a list. He put me in charge of taking care of you." Andy thought he'd try and use mother's-guilt to get her to listen to him but that went horribly wrong. He moved on to try to lighten the moment but he could tell she wasn't in the mood to be enlightened as soon as he said his next words, "and you know how I am when given an order that I take my job seriously." So Andy continued with the facts, "Rusty gave me strict orders not to leave you alone no matter what you say so your stuck with me." This was just getting worse and Andy could see she wasn't listen to him anymore and he could almost see the heat rising in her now sparkling green eyes. Man, she was beautiful when she was worked up. Andy decided he liked playing with fire but this wasn't the time to get her even madder at him and his reoccurring thought was that he didn't want to hurt her anymore. It seemed whenever he tried to talk to her it always lead to a fight and he didn't want that anymore. Andy really needed to explain what he just said because it all came out so wrong.

Before he got the chance he heard her grit out one word, "list?" There was that look again.

Oh crap now he had to figure out how to get out of this one. Andy rubbed the back of his neck nervously then he sat down on the coffee table in front of her. He looked down at his shoes and softly said, "look Sharon I'm sorry I that came out all wrong. I want to be here with you. Even if the the whole team was here I would still stay just to be with you but if you want me to go, I will." Andy started to look up into her eyes he wanted her to see that he meant what he said but he was distracted by everything about her. First it was her legs then he tried to move his eyes up but the way Sharon had her arms crossed didn't this women know by now all that did was accentuate her already well formed breasts. Andy eyes finally made it to her beautiful green ones and he could tell he was in trouble once again. How was he suppose to help himself he was drawn to her. It was Sharon's fault really for looking this good. When she remained quiet he concluded she wanted him to leave so he said lowly, "I will call Andrea and she could be here." He had seen something in those eyes of her to make him think she wanted him to stay so Andy wanted to give her one last chance by saying "Sharon, you need to tell me what you want."

Andy risked touching her again. He really hoped it would get her remembering what they had together. At first he lightly placed his hand on her thigh trying not to startle her. It was almost completely quiet he could hear nothing but her breathing. There was no need words for words right now as they looked at his hand. He gave her leg a squeeze and as he let his hand roam over her thigh and up to her hip, Andy's mind drifted to the last time he got to touch these amazing legs of hers. It was on this very couch and there wasn't any material stopping him from feeling her silky smooth skin as there was now. When his hand came to rest close to her center he could feel the dampness in between her thighs, he was glad to know he caused this reaction in this incredible women. It was having the same effect on her as it was on him. To see how far she would let him take this Andy started smoothing his hand on her inner thigh each time around he would get closer and closer to where he so badly would like to touch her. Andy could barely speak from the need of want her that badly but he managed to ask her again, "all you have to do is tell me want you want? Sharon, just tell me."

Hearing her breathing getting quicker and deeper, Andy could almost see her mind working it out in the pretty little head of hers. At first he was worried on what the outcome would be but then he saw her grip the cup she was holding tighter and he knew she was fighting what she was feeling. Which in a way was good for him, at least she didn't automatically slap him or even punch him at his touch. To try and help convince her and to see how far she would let him take this Andy started smoothing his hand on her inner thigh. With each circular motion he would get closer and closer to where he so badly would like to touch her. Continuing to watch her to get a idea if she would tell him what she wanted, he saw her start getting fidgety then finally her hand was on his. Was she trying to let him down nicely? He'd rather have her just tell him to leave. Preparing for the worst when she looked at him and said, "Andy" it had felt like an eternity since she had said his name, she stop then started again "Andy, I...want you. I want you...to stay."

Feeling relived he patted her leg and with felt himself smiling at her words. It had been weeks since he had smiled that real, a smile that he wasn't forcing on his face. Andy said, "now was that so hard? Thank you, Sharon for letting me help you." He was grateful she decided to let go a little and surrender and let him do this for her. Andy turned his hand over and waited to she if she would place her in his. He was thrilled when Sharon slipped her finger into his and their fingers interlocked together, they just held hands for a moment. Kind of like a unspoken understanding no matter where this went they would always be there for each other. He didn't want to loss her friendship from all this. Andy could easily admit to himself that kissing this beautiful woman that he was desperately in love with was a great thing but her letting him hold her hand meant a lot to him. It seemed innocent enough except it was much more than that. It gave them a deeper connection. Andy could tell the painkillers were kicking in because her eyes held less pain in them and her body was more relaxed but he could tell it was hard for her to stay focused. "I know it's not an easy thing for you to admit but you have to know there are lot of people, friends that want to help and that care for you. Hell, even Provenza been worried sick about you."

Sharon let out a short laugh then looked shocked that she just did that in front of him but hearing her laugh and especially that snort laugh made Andy laugh also. It had been too long since he had heard that amazing sound. There was just something about this woman's smile and laughter that could change your whole day. There was no way to have a bad day if she was smiling. Between laughs Andy added, "don't be so surprised underneath all that gruff he really has come to like the Wicked Witch." Hoping he wasn't pushing the bounds yet since they haven't bantered back and forth like this in long time even if it was a now more endearing nickname, Andy waited for Sharon's reaction.

Her laughter stopped and heard her talking in that icy tone made Andy grow worried that he had in fact ruined the moment between them. She was so serious as Sharon finished about Andy's partner and his hatred about getting stuck with the administration part of the job. Then he saw her crack a small smile, Andy couldn't help throwing his head back and laughing harder. His two best-friends were always taking shots at each other. He was just happy it was with words and not their weapons because they were both damn good shots. Sharon was half right that man hated paperwork with a passion unless that paperwork was his crossword puzzle. He quickly grew concerned when he saw her arm move to her side. Andy instantly stopped laughing as she admitted her ribs were hurting, it was nice that she trusted to tell him for a change.

Knowing he needed to get her to eat and some rest, Andy played dirty by using the mother's guilt card on her again when she dared to give him another glare. All he needed to do was say it was for the kid and he knew she would listen. So he dared her to argue back after he said that she could call Rusty and tell him she wasn't doing what her very worried son wanted her to do. Once Andy saw she resigned to listen to him, he told her she needed to get some rest. He could tell she was exhausted.

"I'm fine. Really Andy, I just need a..." He could tell she was trying to put up a brave front. When was she ever going to learn he knew her far too well for her to pull that off anymore?

"No Sharon, you're really not fine at all and I've heard it all before from you with this I'm fine crap so just stop." Andy said frustrated again with this women. He let go of her hand, stood in front of her, looked down right into those green eyes of hers and said in a much more calm voice, "there is nothing wrong with not being fine you have been through a lot this last month. With me being the center of your problems so please let me help you."

Seeing that she wasn't putting up much of a fight. It was as if she wanted to go rest in bed but didn't like to be told what to do. Knowing she couldn't resist a good deal and it was a way for him to get her the much needed rest Andy suggested, "I'll make you a deal, Captain." He did like to use her rank out of the office he found it just a bit erotic in a way he couldn't explain. "You do the things on my list, I've only got you to do one of them so far. It says you have to eat, take your medication and rest and you have to do them with no arguing. Starting with you getting that pretty little butt into bed. I'll make you a fresh cup of tea, prepare your lunch and bring to you." As he was talking to her she looked even more tired. So he continued softly but sternly, "please do this. You look pale I don't want you getting worse again." Sharon eyes squinted and only response was a "hhmmm." Andy could pick up the leeriness in that sound but it also sent heat to certain place of his body. He really did miss everything about her. He needed to get her safely away from him before he took her into his arms and kissed her pouting lips. Andy was happy when she finally agreed.

"Ok, so the deal is, you go to bed and I bring you your lunch. I take my job seriously and I need to do all that is on my, take care of the most stubborn but beautfuliest woman list." Andy held is hand out to her to help her up "come on Sharon, it's off to bed now." When she only sat there he said it again "so go off to bed now, missy."

"Andy, that's not even a word." Sharon was looking at him like he was a little crazy.

In his head Andy used that word beautifuliest all the time to describe her that he didn't even realize he had said it to her til Sharon mentioned it. "Oh but it is, I created it." Andy gave his lopsided smile, "I'm going to patented it and petition to get it added to the dictionary with a picture of you next to it."

Watching her as she raised an eyebrow at him looking unimpressed and as if thinking really? Andy just held out his hand to her, he could tell she was contemplating her options. Instead of slapping it away he was relived when she took it. An instant spark went through him again at their touch. Sharon hand always felt small and delicate in his bigger rougher ones but they fit together perfectly despite their differences. Andy could see Sharon was having a hard time trying to stand so he bent down slightly and put his other hand under her forearm to help her stand slowly. Once she was fully in front of him, they took a moment to just look into each others eyes. It really had been a long time since they let themselves do that, no words were spoken as Andy felt Sharon place her hand on his chest. His heart beat was picking up speed, he wondered if she could feel it. She stood up on the tips of her toes and as she leaned in slowly he watched her the whole time only closing his eyes the moment her soft lips touched his.

He knew it started off as just a small, I'm sorry type kiss but Andy couldn't resit pulling her tight against him. Hearing her gasp, he was afraid he had hurt her again but Sharon wrapped her right arm around his neck and snaked her finger into his hair he took it as a sign she was ok. Andy placed both his hands on her hips then as the kiss became more heated he slowly slid his hands down over her bottom and pulled her flush against his body so she could feel the effects she was having on him. There was nothing separating them anymore not even themselves. Both of them had their hands on the others bodies just wanted to touch and explore. He heard one of them moan and he almost lost it when Sharon hip rolled up against the fir mist in his pants. Andy had deepened the kiss more, it was getting intensely passionate and their tongues were battling. It had to be one of the hardest things he had ever done but Andy lifted his head up and leaned his forehead against hers as he struggled to catch his breath.

They were still breathing heavy and chest to chest with each breath. Andy he looked at her and he couldn't help but think that she was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen bruises and all. "Sharon beautiful, I'm sorry I had to stop but you are in no condition to continue this and I think we need to have that talk of ours before it gets too far again." Andy took a step back but kept his hands on her hips, "really now off to bed with you. I'll bring your drink, food and the next dose of pain-killers in to you for later. So go." Andy was surprised Sharon listened to him though as she turned to walk to her room the pout she gave him was just too adorable that he couldn't resist giving her a swat on the butt and said again, "go on now."

That stopped Sharon immediately in her tracks she turned half way back and in an eerie calm voice she said, "you have witnessed already with two men what happens when they put their unwanted hands on me. Do you want to make that three?"

Man he loved it was she was acting all feisty. Andy gave her a charming little smirk "well, beautiful you did say unwanted and the way you kissed me right now. I figure I should be safe then, right?"

Sharon just gave him a shoulder shrug, turned and slowly walked to her bedroom. Before she went inside the room Andy heard her boss him around once more by telling him what she wanted to eat and yes he already knew her tea was cold, hell he had brought her the first cup earlier. She must of then went into the room when she called out something about wanting her shirt back. Her shirt? Andy laughed and headed towards the kitchen. Oh this women drove him crazy in so many ways. If she wanted his shirt back then there was only one way she'd get it. The beautiful Sharon Raydor would have to stick to the deal they made the morning he let her take it and that was she could get it back if she took it off of him herself.
