Chapter 4.

I awoke the next morning, and looked out the window to find the skies outside to be gray and overcast...perfect weather for a funeral. I rolled out of bed, and went to check on Bosco. He had stayed here last night after my little altercation with Fred.

I pulled on my robe and walked softly to the living room. Bosco was awake, sitting on the couch, looking out the window.

"Good morning." I said.

"Hi Faith." He mumbled.... Man! he looked like hell. It broke my heart to see him like this.

"So what time is the service?" I asked.

"11...what time is it now?" he asked sleepily.

"Quarter to nine. Did you want to go back to your apartment and grab a change of clothes?"

"Actually, I brought them with me." He said "They're in my car."

Bosco went downstairs and came back up a few minutes later with his clothes. He jumped in the shower and when he was done, he came out wearing a pair of black jeans, a black dress shirt, and a black leather tie. He also wore his favourite black leather jacket.

"I have to go and dress. But don't worry Bos...I'm right here. Holler if you need anything." I said, walking towards my room.

I went into my closet and picked out my best pair of black dress pants. I chose a dark gray blouse to go with it, and I wore my black dress shoes as well. My hair was pulled up in a little bun.

I went back out into the living room, and found Bosco sitting on my couch crying his eyes out.

I rushed over to try and comfort him...I knew this wasn't going to be easy for him.

"Hey!" I said pulling him into my arms for a hug.

"Oh Faith! It's not fair! Why me? Why Mikey...I'm never gonna see my brother again...I swear Faith, as soon as I'm back to work, I'm gonna make it my personal mission to nail the piece of shit that did this to him." Bosco sobbed, burying his face in my shoulder.

"Sssh! Bosco! Come on; don't cry! Mikey wouldn't want to see you like this." I said, rubbing his back gently as I tried to calm him down. Tears coming to my own eyes, upon realizing the pain that my partner was in.

Christina arrived to look after the kids, and she turned and hugged Bosco...telling him to be strong...for Mikey.

"Thanks Christina." He said, hugging her back.

After the service we were gathered outside the church. I was amazed to see how many officers had shown up from the 55 Precinct. Sully and Ty were there; Monroe was there as well. Even Swersky was there, Bosco was a mess by the time the service was over. And I promised him not to leave his side until after the gravesite ceremony.

The graveyard ceremony was very moving, the priest surprised everyone by saying that Bosco had wanted to do a reading here. and I started to weep openly when I saw Bosco place a single rose on the casket and begin to read.

"The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

Bosco turned and looked at everyone gathered at the gravesite.

"I really wanna thank everyone for coming today. It sure is nice to see all the people I care so much about, and that Mikey cared so much about...." His voice broke off, and he stopped for a second. He then continued and invited everyone to join him and his mother for refreshments at a small café near Bosco's mom's house.

The rest of the day seemed to go by so slow...The wake was quiet, not much happening, just swarms and swarms of people coming up to Bosco, offering him their condolences, Telling him if he needed anything to call them.

Finally, hours later, everything died down and we were ready to go.

"Faith, can I stay at your place again tonight, I just don't want to be alone." Said Bosco.

"Sure Bos...anything you want." I agreed.

We went back to my apartment, and I made up the couch for Bosco to sleep on. Charlie and Emily were both really sweet to Bosco. Emily hugged him and said that it wasn't fair about Mikey dying and everything. And Charlie offered Bosco his teddy bear to sleep with, and make him feel better.

"Thanks guys. Its nice to know someone cares." He said hugging each of my children.

"I'm Starving." I said, "Anyone want a snack?"

"Hmmm, I could eat a little something myself." Said Bosco, He hadn't touched any food in a couple of days.

I made everyone Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, and we drank milk with them. Charlie and Bosco started clowning around, and making jokes, and it seemed to me for the first time, that everything was going to be okay.

"Mom. It's really sad about Uncle Bosco's brother." Said Emily looking at me.

"Yeah, it is sweetheart, but death is a part of life, we all have to die sometime.... maybe it was just Mikey's time to go." I said.

We sat up talking until poor little Charlie was falling asleep at the table. Bosco offered to tuck him in, and Emily said she was tired, and she headed off to bed as well.

As soon as the kids were tucked in, Bosco came back to the living room to join me.

"That Charlie, he's great." He said, sitting down beside me on the couch. "Just like his mom."

"Oh bos..." I said blushing.

"No really Faith, you really are the greatest woman I've ever known, and I've known a lot of women." He said.

With that Bosco leaned over and kissed me sweetly on the lips. I shivered as I felt my body surrender to his kiss. Bosco's kisses became more urgent, and little moaning sounds escaped from him, as he wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me closer.

I melted into his arms, and we lay there on the couch for the longest time, just kissing, and holding each other, neither of us spoke, and I felt a thrill of anticipation work down my spine as Bosco reached up and slowly undid the buttons on my blouse.

"Oh Faith!" he moaned as his hands worked to undo the clasp on my bra.

"Mmmmm, Bosco." I moaned back, nibbling his earlobe, and hearing him suck air between his teeth.

Bosco laid me down on my back, and then rolled over on top of me. He then leaned down to lightly kiss and lick my left nipple.

"Ohhhh! Bosco!" I moaned, it had been so long since I had been with anyone.

"Such beautiful breasts..." he mumbled, as he bent to suck the other nipple.

"Umm, Bos? Let's take this into my bedroom." I said, thinking of the kids.

"As you wish, Faith." He agreed, and he grabbed me by the hand, and lead me down the hall to my bedroom. We went through the door, and then stood by my bed kissing each other.

Bosco's hands roamed over my body...pinching here, tweaking there, and he seemed to be taking all of me in at once.

Before we knew it we were both naked. And I was feeling very very hot.

"You have a really nice body Faith....Fred's an idiot for letting you slip through his fingers....WAIT! WHAT AM I SAYING??" said Bosco.

I laughed. And then leaned down and kissed his neck. I nibbled along his neck up to his earlobe, and he moaned, and threw his head back.

Bosco laid me down on my bed. He climbed in beside me, and pulled me into his arms, he kissed me again...this time deeper, his tongue parting my lips, and as he was kissing me, his hands roamed over my body, and his one hand came to rest on my thigh.

"Ohhh Bos!" I moaned as I felt him touch me. It had been so long since anyone had touched me there. I mean, Fred had stopped being intimate with me ever since he had started dating that little tramp...so I was definitely needing some attention.

Bosco kissed my lips, and then kissed all the way down my chest....he kissed my tummy, and continued on his way down...He stopped to kiss each thigh and then finally I felt his tongue touch that little nub, that had been neglected for way too long, and I let out a surprised little squeal.

"Mmmmm, yeah, you like that Faith?" he asked. Flicking his tongue over that swollen little bud, so fast....it felt so good, and when I went to answer him all that came out was an ecstatic moan.....

Bosco continued what he was doing, and I was loving every second of it. The next thing I knew....I could feel something building inside me....something I hadn't felt in so long, and I didn't know how I was gonna handle it.....And I didn't have much time to think about it either

"Oh Bosco! Ohhh! Don't stop....don't stop that....it feels soooooo good!....oh Bosco, Oh YES YES YES....BOSCO!" I cried out, as he continued licking me, sending me over the edge. For the next couple of minutes that followed, I was speechless....I couldn't say anything, I couldn't move, I couldn't think, At least not about anything other than the amazing pleasure I was feeling.

Bosco came up from between my legs...and he kissed my lips...I could taste the sweetness of myself on his lips and tongue....and it was turning me on big time!

"Taste me Faith." He said.

I got him to lay back against the pillows and I kissed down his neck, around his chest, stopping to suck each little nipple. And then I continued downward, kissing his belly, licking his belly button, and then still further down until I arrived at the very tip of his cock

"Ohhh Faith! Don't tease me anymore, come on baby....taste me." He said.

I decided to do just that. And I brought my lips quickly down over his cock. Bosco moaned as I bobbed my head up and down...Moaning while I sucked him....And it wasn't long before it was too much for him to take....

"Oh Faith! Don't stop...ohhh yes! More....lick it more....MMMMM YESSSS!" he cried.

My efforts were rewarded with a jet of hot, sticky cream coating my tongue. I swallowed it down in a hurry, and gulped back the rest that squirted out all over my tongue.

After I had finished, Bosco looked up at me, and smiled.

"Thank you Faith!....that was...well....Incredible!"

Bosco and I feel asleep in each other's arms sometime around sunrise...We didn't have a shift today...and we decided maybe it was a good thing, we were both exhausted. But we were happy....I was feeling this strange type of euphoria....A kind of ecstasy I never knew existed...Working with Bosco was great....but this was even more amazing.....He made me feel complete, For the first time in my life.
