AN Yup I can be influenced. ;) Ya'll wanted more...so here's more. I'll try to get more done while I'm on holiday, but I hope this will tide you over...although it might just make you more curious. Whoops. :)
Disclaimer No owning going on here, just fantasizing and it's ever so pretty in my mind. I hope CBS doesn't mind me borrowing and manipulating their characters. They'll come back unharmed I promise. ;)
She moaned against his lips and pressed herself closer so her body was completely flush with his. His fingers were entangled with her hair; he couldn't even begin to comprehend how good she tasted…
"…degrees today with a cloudy period this mor…"
Danny's hand slammed down on his alarm. He sat up and ran a hand over his face. "Just concerned," He reasoned to himself. "That's all."
Then why couldn't he get the desire to know the texture of her mouth out of his head?
"You look tired." He observed when he got to work that morning.
She yawned before taking a sip of her coffee, "My sister Mandy arrived last night, we had to catch up."
"Ah yes, priorities." He poured himself a cup.
"More hers then mine believe me." Lindsay sighed; Mandy had a full agenda now that she was there. If Lindsay could help it there was no way Mandy was meeting Danny, she didn't want to think about the repercussions of that.
He left the comment alone although curiosity tickled the back of his mind. "So you ready to go back to the house, hopefully for the last time?"
She nodded, "Better get it over with today."
Flack met them at the house; he had some extra questions for the husband. He asked Danny to help him with that so Lindsay went upstairs to go through the study this time. She was sitting in the desk chair looking through the contents of the desk when she heard a noise in the bathroom off of the study.
She was going to call out when she saw him, "Bill!" She exclaimed.
He was holding a knife yet he had a concerned look on his face, "Who's the guy that came with you?" He asked, "I've seen him with you before."
"He's a co-worker. Bill you aren't supposed to come near me." She tried to keep the calm in her voice.
His head shook slightly, "Not supposed to, supposed to, who says?"
"I'm pretty sure a judge said."
"Don't," He pointed the knife at her, "don't make fun of me."
"I-I'm not," She held her hands up, "What are you doing here Bill?"
He looked at her as though stunned that she would ask, "I came for you of course."
"We're not together Bill." She said evenly.
"You're mine." He said aggressively. He advanced toward her slowly.
She was backing up into a corner and desperately running out of calm. "No I'm not." She managed.
Danny was coming up the stairs; he almost called out to Lindsay when he heard a man's voice. "You know you belong to me."
His eyes widened, he didn't want to pull out his gun unless it was absolutely necessary so he slowly crept down the hallway toward the study. He managed to angle himself behind the man yet still be in Lindsay's view.
She saw him and desperately wanted to call out but managed to keep her eyes trained on Bill, "I don't belong to anyone." She said a little more confidently.
Okay, Danny thought,the guy only had a knife, if he got close enough he could surprise him and hopefully get the weapon out of his hand.
Bill sighed, "Well we can't discuss it here can we? You're going to have to come with me."
"No." Lindsay said defiantly.
"I don't want to have to make you Lindsay but I will." Bill was advancing faster.
It was now or never. Danny ran into the room and grabbed the wrist that held the knife. Unfortunately Bill had a firm grip and arched his arm back in surprise, stabbing Danny in the gut slightly as they wrestled.
"Don!" Lindsay called for Flack as she ran forward to help Danny subdue Bill.
He didn't feel the pain right away instead he was angry the guy had ruined a perfectly good shirt. He disabled Bill and pushed him to the ground with his knee in the man's back.
Flack sprinted up the stairs and into the room in enough time to hand Danny some handcuffs and help him pull the man up, "I don't know you and already I don't like you." Flack said into Bill's ear. "Danny? Are you okay?" He saw the blood seeping onto his friend's shirt.
Danny nodded, "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I'll just need stitches."
"I'll call the paramedics they should be here soon." Flack said then sneered at Bill, "You come with me genius."
Lindsay pulled gauze from her kit and put pressure on the wound as she urged him into a chair, "You're an idiot." She muttered.
"You're welcome." He said with a laugh.
She shook her head trying to maintain composure and concentrated on stopping his bleeding. "It doesn't look that bad."
"Hey," He put a hand on her arm.
She didn't look at him just his wound.
He took the gauze with his right hand and held down on the wound then touched her face with his left, "Hey," He said gently, "You okay?"
Finally she gave him eye contact and shook her head slowly desperately trying to keep the tears from coming.
He stood with only a slight wince and put his free arm around her, "It's okay to be upset you know." He said into her hair.
She stiffened, for a moment, at the contact then relaxed and leaned on his chest a bit. She put one arm around his good side and the other up on his chest, "Why do I always attract losers?" She asked more to herself than him.
He chuckled, "Ah we aren't all losers." He said without thinking then clamped his mouth shut hoping she didn't catch his little slip.
She caught it though, loud and clear and her breath stopped in her throat. She was just about to say something when two paramedics clamoured noisily up the stairs.
Lindsay and Danny had stepped apart by the time the two men got into the room. "Ah damn Messer." The one paramedic joked.
"Shut up Nick." Danny said good naturedly, "It's not that bad."
After the paramedics stitched him up Danny insisted that he was fine enough to return to the lab. He said he had an extra shirt that he wanted to change into.
Lindsay drove them in silence then looked over at him, "I didn't thank you." She said.
He looked at her and smiled, "No you didn't."
"Thank you." She said sincerely.
"No problem, except…" He trailed off.
She got nervous, "Except what?"
"Well I got stabbed you know."
She regarded him curiously, "Uh, yeah I know."
"I figure since I got stabbed defending you, the least you could do is eat a meal with me." He raised an eyebrow at her, "And don't use going back to the lab as an excuse this time, cause I'm not asking for it to be now."
She blushed and concentrated on the traffic in front of her, "Oh- uh kay."
"He said what?" Mandy exclaimed as soon as Lindsay had retold the whole situation to her that night. "And then you said what!"
Lindsay laughed, "You aren't at all interested that Bill showed up and was arrested. All you care about is what Danny said."
"Yeah well, Bill is arrested so why waste our breath." Mandy said with a smile, "Now this Danny character just keeps getting more interesting. How was the hug?"
Lindsay still couldn't believe he had been so tender. She was absolutely stunned that this was the same guy who had initiated her so thoroughly during her first week.
"That good huh?" Mandy just watched her sister with a smile, "You do realize that I will not leave this city until I meet him?"
"It's starting to become scaringly apparent to me." Lindsay mused.
"Well since you've agreed to share a meal with him, the least he could do is pick you up here." Mandy said definitively.
"You're going on a date with Lindsay!" Hawkes exclaimed as Danny finally listened to Mac's orders and got ready to leave for the day.
"It's not a date really," Danny defended himself. It still sorta stunned him that it had happened at all. He hadn't intended to ask her out in the car, it just sort of came out of his mouth before he could stop it.
Hawkes smirked, "You're both getting dressed up right?"
"Uh, kind of."
"You're picking her up?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"You'll most likely pay?"
"Yeah." Danny was dreading the end of this conversation.
"You think about kissing her."
"Y…hey!" Danny stopped himself but it was too late.
Hawkes burst out laughing, "Oh it is so definitely a date."
