Hi friends! We were #blessed this week with all the Upstead content. *insert heart eyes* Had to write a part 2 to this after the opening scene. I wanted to fill in the blanks between the bar and the morning, hope this did the trick!
Thank you so much for reading/reviewing/saving/favoriting! Makes me so happy. Happy Reading!

Just as Jay reached the driver's side door, his phone rang again, Kevin's name once again flashing across his screen.
"What in the hell. We're coming." He mumbled under his breath, fully annoyed that their job requires them to be ready and willing almost around the clock. Most times, he loved getting calls out to a case, feeling like he was making a difference and helping people in his city.
Tonight, was not one of those nights. Tonight, he wanted to stay in the little bubble he and Hailey created, keep her in his arms, and love her all night long.
He answered the phone, while reaching over and turning on the seat warmer, seeing Hailey shiver out of the corner of his eye. "What's up, Kev?" Hailey buried herself in the seat, basking in the heat rising around her. Jay reached over the console and rubbed his hand up and down her leg, attempting to give her some warmth.
"Yo Jay, Sarge was first on scene, said this is a case for Gangs." Jay nodded, "So we're good then?" Kevin spoke further, "Yep, we're off the hook. See you in the a.m." A grin crept over Jay's face, Hailey giving him a confused look. "Night Kev."
He turned the ignition and took the key out, Hailey pouting a little as she lost her source of heat. "We're good. It was a Gangs case." Hailey smirked at him and raised her eyebrows, "What a fun turn of events." She unbuckled her seat belt and hopped down from the truck, Jay following her lead and once again followed her into her building.
As quickly as the pair had gotten dressed, they got undressed even faster. As Jay closed and locked the door behind him, he grabbed Hailey's hand and pulled her to his body. She pulled the beanie off her head and smoothed her hair down as Jay unzipped her coat and tossed it behind her, doing the same to his own jacket.
He placed both hands on the side of Hailey's face, running his thumbs across her cheek bones. Her hands dropped to his waist, sliding her cold hands under his shirt. "Always so warm." Jay dropped his head to her lips, pressing a soft kiss against her. "Happy to warm you up." He felt her smirk against his lips, and felt her hands softly push him back, walking them to her bedroom.
They made it to the middle of her room and Jay deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue between her lips and dropping his hands to the hem of her sweatshirt, pulling it up over her, letting his fingers skim her sides. Hailey did the same, and tossed his henley on the floor to join her hoodie. They stood there for a second, sharing another deep stare. Hailey stepped into his space, pressing her chest against his and raised herself up on her tiptoes to meet his lips, pulling him into a kiss, letting her right hand cup the back of his head, her thumb rubbing along his hairline. Jay wrapped both of his arms around her back and pulled her fully into his body, happy to stand there and simply kiss her.
Hailey doesn't know how long they stood there, just kissing, relishing in how their mouths moved together and basking in the feeling of being wrapped in Jay's arms. Before she could really focus on what was happening, she felt Jay's hand on the clasp of her bra strap, skillfully opening it with two fingers. He pulled away from her slightly to let it fall away from her body, and he couldn't help but stare at her for a second.
Hailey kept her eyes locked on Jay's and watched as he stepped closer to her, running his fingers up and down her sides, seeing her trying to stifle a giggle, "Ticklish?" Hailey dropped her head, "Maybe a little." Jay chuckled himself and brought his lips to her jaw line, "So much more to learn about you." He punctuated his words with kisses down her neck, stopping at her collarbone, Hailey leaning into his touch and biting her lip, trying to stifle the moan threatening to come out of her mouth. Jay brought his right hand up to cup her breast and roll her nipple between his fingers, pinching lightly. He saw Hailey's eyes flutter shut at his touch and bit her lip further, "Baby, I want to hear you. Don't keep it in." His husky whisper sent a wave of heat through her body, straight to her core, and she desperately needed him pressed against her body.
"Jay, please." She palmed her hand against the front of his jeans, feeling again how hard he was, her touch making his hips buck into her hand. Jay knew exactly what she was asking for, and he was happy to oblige her. He walked them backwards until they reached the edge of her bed, and his hands went to her waist, undoing her jeans and pulling them down her legs, along with her panties. Hailey followed suit and quickly undid his belt, slipping her hands under the band of his boxers and pulling them both down his long legs. She couldn't help but take Jay in her hand, and grip him firmly, her hand running up and down his length.
Jay pushed her shoulders down gently, and laid on top of her, one of his elbows supporting his body weight. Hailey laid under him, her breathing slightly heavy. She brought her head up to meet his, pressing her lips against his in a breathy kiss. Jay slid his hand down her body and rubbed his fingers against her, before slipping them inside of her, making sure she was ready for him. Feeling his fingers, Hailey let out a whimper against his lips, "Mmm, I need to feel you Jay."
He took himself in his hand and lined himself up with her entrance, pushing into her until his hips were flush to hers. Hailey arched her back off the bed as she felt him sliding into her, stretching her in the best way. Jay gave her a second to adjust to his size, slipping his hand behind her head, needing to keep her close. Hailey raised her hips into his, letting him know she was okay for him to continue. Hailey pulled on his arm so he was lying flush against her and brought her arms to wrap around his shoulders.
Jay thrusted into her, finding a rhythm with Hailey, and in that moment, he never felt so connected with someone, literally and physically. He swore her body was made to fit with his. Hailey wrapped her legs around his waist, wanting to feel him deeper inside of her. Jay moved harder into her, and Hailey couldn't help but cry out his name. He buried his head into her neck as he moved, kissing any piece of skin he could get to, letting out a deep moan when he felt her walls squeeze around him. Before Hailey could react, Jay pulled away from her body and gripped her right leg, placing it on his shoulder so her body was opened further for him. He untangled his hand from her hair and placed both of his hands on either side of her face. Jay again thrusted hard into her, the new angle he had her body in sending waves of pleasure through her. Hailey's hands circled around Jay's wrists, squeezing as he moved inside of her, crying out his name every time he snapped his hips.
"Jay, ugh fuck, I'm so close." Hailey moved her leg down from his shoulder and again wrapped it around his waist, his body again flush to hers. She heard his breathing quicken and his breathy moans in her ear got louder. She turned her head to press a kiss to his wrist, as his hands were still bracketed around her. She met him, thrust for thrust, until she felt her wave of intense pressure and instant release. She tossed her head back on her pillow and let the waves crash through her, squeezing Jay's forearms. He was right behind her and soon enough, she felt his body tense, saw him close his eyes and heard him let out a deep, throaty groan as he finished, Hailey feeling his release inside her. She licked her lips at the feeling and ran her fingers through his hair, feeling his soft curls under her fingers.
Jay dropped his head to lay on her shoulder, still inside her, trying to control his breathing. Hailey laid beneath him, running her fingers along his spine soothingly. Jay lifted slightly to kiss her cheek, "You are wonderful." Hailey smiled at him, kissing him back, "That was amazing." He slipped out of her and rolled onto his back, bringing her with him. She naturally found a spot between his head and neck and pulled the covers over them, tangling her legs with his. Jay wrapped his arms around her, still marveling at how much has changed in the last two hours. And he couldn't be happier.
They laid there, wrapped up in the other, for a while, until Hailey propped herself up to look at him. "Jay." He opened his eyes and took in the expression on her face, "What's wrong, Hails?" She smiled wide at him, "Nothing, nothing at all. I just…what do we do now?" Jay sat up and took her hand in his, rubbing her knuckles, prompting her to continue, "I meant when I said it's been a long time since I saw you as just my partner. I…I think I started to acknowledge the shift after you were hit in the vest, after everything with your dad, and then I really understood it last fall." Her fingers ran over the bullet scar on his shoulder and looked up at him. Jay nodded at her, "I still think about what you were going to say before the phone rang." Hailey smiled, "Well, I think we established that." Jay wiggled his eyebrows at her and brought his hand to her lips, "We most definitely did. But seriously Hailey, what we have here, what we've built…partners, friends, best friends, the blind trust…I want to make this work. You make everything better. You make me a better cop, a better friend, a better man."
Hailey smiled and nodded along with his words. "I know that we've both been burned before, dating a co-worker. But you, me, this, is so much more than dating. Our bond here runs deep, and I think if we really try to make it work, it will. It has to…because my heart is yours. And it has been for a while." Hailey let out a shaky breath she didn't realize she was holding and looked up at him tentatively, not knowing how Jay would react to her last statement. Jay reached over and pushed a piece of hair behind her ear, "Hailey…every piece of me is yours. You're everything to me, and then some. We will make this work." She nodded, again feeling tears burning behind her eyes, knowing no more words were needed for now, she placed both her hands on either side of his face, and pulled him into a kiss, pouring everything she was feeling into it.
Jay pulled her body to lie on top of his own, pulling the covers around them once again, and kissed her back, running his hands up and down her body. He loved her, he's loved her for a long time. And in due time, he'd tell her. But as he thought about it, they'd already told each other they loved the other one in countless ways…
"Just…tell me everything. I want to help, I promise."
"We're good, and we're always going to be good."
"I've trusted you from the day I met you, and if I was going to follow someone blind, I'd follow you."
"I'm going where you go."
"I'd follow you anywhere."
"Good or bad, right or wrong…"
"I miss the wind…and you."
"I'm better with you as my partner…"
Hailey ran her fingers through his hair, down the sides of his face, over his broad shoulders. Kissing Jay was thrilling, addicting, she couldn't get enough. She would make this work, they could make this work.
