Chapter 15: Hope

A week or so passed with total radio silence from Sharon.

Andy was just starting to lose hope when the phone on his desk rang.

"Flynn, Robbery Homicide," answered Andy.

"Hey. It's me," said Sharon.

"Hi, Sharon," said Andy.

"Hey. Can we find a time to meet at your house with no kids? Maybe this weekend," suggested Sharon.

"Yeah. How about tomorrow? We can just leave all of the kids with my mom," replied Andy.

"Okay. What time is good for you" asked Sharon.

"How about around noon?" suggested Andy.

"Noon sounds great. I'll see you, then," said Sharon.

"See you then," replied Andy before they hung up.

Now there was hope.

Noon Saturday arrived and Andy was furiously pacing the floor waiting for Sharon to come over when there was a ring of the doorbell.

Andy opened the door and greeted Sharon with an awkward, "Hey."

"Hey," replied Sharon.

"Come on in," Andy told her as he opened the door wider for her to enter.

"Thanks," replied Sharon as she walked inside and Andy shut the door.

"So, about last week...I'm sorry I blindsided you like that. I had no right to," said Andy.

"Do you regret what you said?" asked Sharon nervously.

"Honestly, no. Sharon, I care about you. A lot. So, no I don't regret saying what I said to you. Admittedly, the delivery could've been better, but-" replied Andy before he was cut off by Sharon kissing him.

They continued kissing there in the living room before Andy broke the kiss and said, "Wait a minute. Is this what you want? You and me. Together. Because I don't wanna push you into anything you're not ready for."

"The short answer is yes. I'm finally ready. For you and me. Together," said Sharon before she kissed Andy again.

Sharon felt Andy smile into the kiss, signaling that he understood.

They continued kissing lazily on the couch for a while before Sharon's hands slid underneath Andy's t-shirt.

Andy pulled away for a moment before he asked, "Are you sure? I'd be content just kissing you today if that's all you wanted to do."

"Andy, I want to jump you right now and I want you to make love to me. Is that clear enough?" asked Sharon.

"Yeah," replied Andy in a daze.

"Is this what you want?" asked Sharon.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted this," Andy told her.

"I think I have a pretty good idea," Sharon smiled at Andy as she returned to kissing him and snaking her hands underneath his shirt.

Andy did the same and the first thing he felt was Sharon's soft skin underneath her shirt.

Both of them kept exploring bare skin until they couldn't take the anticipation any longer.

Sharon shed Andy's t-shirt and threw it somewhere across the room.

Andy followed Sharon's lead and took off her shirt as well, revealing a black lacy bra.

"You really were ready for this, weren't you?" asked Andy.

"I like to be prepared. Speaking of being prepared…" Sharon trailed off.

"Upstairs in the nightstand," replied Andy assuredly, referring to the condoms in his top drawer.

"Maybe we should move the party up there," suggested Sharon.

"Good idea," Andy complimented her as they stood up from the couch and began walking upstairs, Andy's hand in Sharon's.

Once they got to the top of the stairs, Andy gently pushed Sharon up against the wall as he whispered, "Nice lingerie."

"There's more where that came from," replied Sharon before Andy kissed her.

Soon enough, Andy moved down to Sharon's neck and chest area.

Meanwhile, Sharon fumbled with the button and zipper of Andy's jeans.

She finally got it undone and unzipped as Andy's pants slowly fell to the floor.

He stepped out of them and kicked them aside as he pulled Sharon towards his bedroom while pushing down her leggings.

Eventually, they fell to the floor and were kicked aside as well on the way to Andy's bedroom.

"Why am I not surprised that they match?" Andy asked rhetorically.

"Just for you," whispered Sharon as she kissed Andy and led them towards the bedroom.

Once they were inside, Andy pulled Sharon towards the bed until her knees hit the mattress and she gently fell onto it.

Sharon giggled and Andy didn't think he'd heard a more beautiful laugh before.

"Come here, silly," Sharon laughed at Andy's slight daze.

"You just have a beautiful laugh," Andy told her as he climbed on top of her.

Sharon giggled once again before Andy began kissing her chest and fumbling with her bra.

"Haven't undone one of these in a while," Andy commented.

"It's okay. Take your time," Sharon encouraged him as he finally got it undone.

Andy threw the bra to the side without looking where it landed. He was too busy looking at Sharon's body.

"God, you're beautiful," Andy told her.

Sharon blushed at his compliment before she smiled and said, "You don't look half bad yourself."

Andy smiled into the kiss he gave Sharon before lavishing attention on her breasts, finding Sharon's sensitive spots that made her moan.

He returned to Sharon's neck, leaving little love sucks and bites that were sure to bruise by tomorrow.

After a while of Andy kissing her neck, Sharon flipped them over until she was on top of Andy.

"Huh. I think I like this view better," Andy told Sharon as she straddled him.

Sharon smiled before she said, "Me too."

Andy reached for the top drawer of his nightstand where a box of condoms were.

He grabbed one before he asked jokingly, "Wanna do the honors or should I?"

"I'd love to, but you're a little overdressed," Sharon told him.

"Well, we can fix that," replied Andy as he quickly shed his boxers.

"Impressive," said Sharon as she smiled awkwardly at Andy.

"Thanks," replied Andy just as awkwardly as Sharon began to sheath his penis.

Once the condom was on, Andy's thumbs hooked into the sides of Sharon's black lace panties and slowly pulled them down before Sharon kicked them off across the room.

"Come here," Andy told Sharon before he kissed her tenderly.

They continued kissing for a couple minutes before Sharon, feeling his erection, said, "Somebody's ready."

"Yeah…." Andy trailed off awkwardly.

"Nothing to be ashamed of. I'll warn you though, it's been a while for me," Sharon told him.

"Me too," replied Andy.

Sharon gently grabbed Andy's penis and lined it up with her entrance.

Once inside her, Sharon slowly slid down onto it.

"Mmhmm" hummed Sharon.

Andy laughed at her cute hum of pleasure before he asked, "You ready?"

"Yeah," replied Sharon before Andy flipped them over until he was on top once again.

"Sneaky," Sharon told him a little breathlessly.

Andy responded by kissing Sharon as his hips began a slow thrusting pace towards Sharon's entrance.

"Uh huh. Right there," Sharon told Andy as their lips broke apart and his thrusting went a little deeper.

Andy continued thrusting in and out of Sharon.

"Oh yeah. Right there," Sharon directed Andy as he hit her g-spot.

Andy decided that was his new target as he continued thrusting a little quicker.

"Oh my god. Yes!" exclaimed Sharon.

Andy, sensing Sharon was getting close, quickened his pace.

"Yes! Yes!" yelled Sharon.

Andy could feel his release coming too as Sharon's inner walls tightened around him.

He made one final thrust and Sharon trailed off, "Oh, Andy! Yes! Yes! Yes….."

Andy found his release as well when Sharon tightened around him and called Sharon's name as he came.

A couple minutes passed as Sharon and Andy caught their breath.

Andy slowly pulled out of Sharon before he rolled over to the other side of the bed and pulled her on top of him.

"That was some really great sex," Sharon told him with a smile.

"Yeah, it was," replied Andy with a shit eating grin on his face.

Sharon laughed into Andy's chest at how proud he seemed of himself.

"What's so funny?" asked Andy before he kissed the top of Sharon's head.

"You're just so proud of yourself," Sharon told him.

"So what?" asked Andy.

"Nothing. It's just really cute," Sharon told him before placing a kiss against his chest.

Andy's hand fell to rest on Sharon's hip and stayed there as the two spent lovers fell asleep.

All was well in the world.
