Gail woke to the early morning sun streaming through the window. She stretched out, trying to ease sore muscles into action. Confusion swept through her momentarily before she remembered why exactly she was sore in the first place. Butterflies shot though her at the memory of her and Holly's night together. Gail eagerly rolled over, only to find an empty bed. Her smile faded slightly. She had been hoping for a replay of last night. She grabbed the sheet off the bed, wrapped herself up and made her way out into the living room.

Fresh coffee brewing hit her nostrils along with something sweet smelling. Gail turned towards the kitchen to find a partially clothed Holly flipping a piece of French toast. Gail paused, content to watch from afar. She let her eyes rake down Holly's body, from the loose ponytail, to her damn near see-through t-shirt, to her black panties, and right down her exposed bare legs. Little memories flashed in her mind from last night.

She shook herself out of her stupor and snuck up behind her girlfriend. She could see the smile on Holly's lips before she even reached her.

"Good morning." It was just barely a whisper against the rim of Holly's ear, but for such small and quiet words, Gail could sense the rather large effect they left. She could feel the goose bumps on Holly's arms, and pulled her in tighter to her own body.

Holly turned to face Gail, depositing a delicate kiss on her lips followed by her own rather timid 'morning'. Gail let Holly turn back to the stove to tend to their breakfast in favor of replacing the sheet with some clothing. When she returned to the kitchen, a fresh cup of coffee and plate of French toast sat waiting for her. She took a seat at the table next to Holly, pulling the steaming coffee to her mouth.

"What? No sheet?" Holly teased, clearly disappointed by Gail's new wardrobe.

Gail timed her response just right, only speaking up once Holly took a sip of her own beverage. "Nope. That should probably be washed anyways after last night."

Holly damn near spit her coffee out, but recovered quickly. She set the mug down, and turned to Gail. "Nah. Not yet anyways. Unless, that is, you aren't up for another round after you finish eating."

Gail's eyebrows shot up at the offer. Holly watched as Gail picked up the remainder of her first piece of French toast and shoved the whole thing into her mouth at once. "Well? Hurry up Holly."


Breakfast was finished in record time, even for Gail. Holly carelessly shoved the dirty dishes into the sink, barely bothering to even rinse them off. She ripped the clothes from her body and followed Gail into her bedroom. Sure enough, Gail was bare ass naked, lying atop the sheets.

Holly stood in the doorway for a moment, relishing the sight of her girlfriend's body and what it implied. Not willing to wait longer, she left her perch and joined Gail in bed. Holly eagerly let her weight settle on the younger woman, as their lips found each other, desire evident. Gail's hand found Holly's clit easily, making teasing circles. She could feel her wetness on Gail's hand and wondered how ready Gail was for her. Snippets of their night prior flashed in her mind and Holly let herself momentarily drift into memory. The feel of Gail on her, under her, in her. Holly had never come like she had with Gail, and she was pretty damn sure that was a two way street.

Holly let her fingertips graze their way down Gail's body, tempting themselves closer to their new favorite place. The closer she got to Gail's center, the harder Gail pressed into her. She lost track for a moment, fully distracted by her own pleasure and the unrelenting determination of the fingers curling inside her, drawing deep moans from her lips.

"Don't stop baby."

Gail's desperate plea pulled Holly back. Her attention settled on the woman under her, and the needing looking in Gail's eyes refocused her back towards her intended goal. Holly pushed her hand further south, resting between Gail's legs, fingering the soft flesh of her thighs. Gail thrust herself towards Holly's hand, her impatience growing. Holly took pity on her and slipped her fingers between Gail's soaking lips, seeking out her clit.

"Oh god Hols."

Holly stroked Gail slowly, not yet willing to let her fall over the edge she was already so close to. No, Holly wanted to savor this. With each touch, Gail came a little more undone, one hand pressing harder at Holly's center, the other digging mercilessly into her shoulder blade. Holly didn't care though. Gail could draw blood for all she cared in fact. The look in those blue eyes as she slid her fingers across Gail's sensitive bud, dipping down to tease at her entrance, it made any sex wounds worth it.

Holly felt Gail pull out of her and return to her clit. Gail was seriously going to make her come if she couldn't find a way to pull it together. She wasn't going to last another minute if she didn't stop her. Holly let herself grind down on Gail's fingers one last time before sliding down and out of reach. Gail whined at the loss of contact. Holly offered a smile and pulled her own hand away.

"Why did you stop?"

Holly smirked down at Gail, placed one last kiss on her lips and shuffled down the bed further, stopping only when her mouth was level with Gail's hips and her hands were gently pushing her thighs apart.

"Oh my god Holly."

She glanced up, locking on Gail's slightly scared eyes. "I can stop Gail. If you want. I don't have to do this if you…"

"No, no. I just…wasn't expecting…no, I don't want you to stop. Please don't."

Holly didn't move. She kept her eyes trained on her girlfriend's, needing to see that this really was okay.

"Baby, its okay I promise. Trust me; I really, really want this." Gail begged, reaching down to run her hands encouragingly through Holly's hair.

Holly took the hand in her own and placed a kiss on her palm. Gail settled back against the bed, never taking her eyes off Holly. Holly kept her eyes locked on Gail's as she leaned down to place delicate kisses against her hip bones. She soaked in the look in Gail's eyes, and the subtle moans that slipped out her lips as she continued her way down to the tops of her thighs. Holly squeezed the hand still entwined with hers before finally lowering her gaze to her target.

Gail was glistening wet, completely ready and waiting for her. She took in the full extent of her beauty, having not been given the opportunity to become this intimate the night before. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. Holly lowered herself down and tentatively ran her tongue across Gail's clit and listened to her moan in relief of their anticipation. She made a second pass, taking her time to taste Gail. Electricity shot through her body at the realization of what Gail was allowing her to do. She chanced a glance back up only to see Gail's eyes closed tight in ecstasy, bottom lip caught between her teeth. Holly smiled to herself and returned to her task.

She let her tongue tease Gail's bud a little longer before she slipped her lips around her fully, sucking gently on Gail's clit, easing the fingers of her unoccupied hand south. Her tongue alternated between steady flicks and running circles around her as her warm lips worked their magic. Gail's hips rose subconsciously to meet Holly's mouth, silently begging for as much contact as she could muster. Holly obliged and pulled her hand the rest of the way down before entering Gail with two fingers.

"Holy fucking shit. Oh my god Hols…"

Gail's words broke off, her heavy breathing making it difficult for her to say much at all. It was plenty for Holly though. She didn't even bother trying to stifle herself as she moaned against Gail. Gail in turn thanked Holly all the more, relishing the vibrations from Holly's lips and tongue against her. She kissed Gail's clit one last time before breaking contact to look up at Gail. Gail struggled to meet her eyes, distracted by the fingers Holly continued to stroke her with.

"Come for me baby."

"What?"

Holly dropped a single kiss down to Gail's hips and repeated her request. "I want to watch you come Gail. I want you to come while my fingers are in you and my lips are on you."

Gail's jaw dropped. This was unexpected. Not that Holly wanted it, but that she so easily voiced it. That confidence and unabashed desire drove Gail straight to the edge. Unable to form so much as a single word, Gail nodded.

Holly wasted no time. She focused her attention back on Gail's wet and throbbing clit. She teased Gail lightly with a flat tongue, watching her girlfriend struggle to keep herself in check. She could see just how close Gail was, and could feel the restrained contractions of her walls against her fingers. Part of her wanted to push Gail further, see just how long she could hold out, but the majority of her just wanted to bring Gail to release. Holly brought Gail's clit back into her mouth instantly, pushing her closer to the edge with her tongue. Right as she felt Gail start to let go, she curled her fingers inside her.

Gail tensed for split second and then broke into full body spasms. Holly felt the internal walls of her girlfriend shudder around her fingers, drawing them in deeper. She felt Gail's hips fight against the arm steadying her body, and the mouth working her still. She could feel Gail coming in every aspect, she could feel it in her own body almost, taste it on her tongue. It was like nothing Holly had ever experienced. Slowly she helped Gail come down, easing her back from her mind altering orgasm. She let herself bask a moment in a shared afterglow before she forced herself to ease out of Gail and slid back up the bed.

Holly lay completely in a state of shock and wonder, unsure how Gail had managed to flip her life into such a ball of mind-fucking ecstasy. Never in her life had Holly felt so satisfied and comfortable after going down on someone. Not even close. Normally it was a task she didn't even really enjoy that much, but holy shit if she didn't just find her new favorite way to make Gail Peck come. A lazy smile found her lips as she thought over the recent development. She settled herself more firmly into the bed, finding a comfortable spot. She pushed the sheet away from herself, only to find her fingers were still wet from Gail. 'Fuck it' she thought. She was going to have to wash the sheets after this anyways.

The bed dipped beside her as Gail found some remaining strength to move. She turned her head to meet the tired eyes searching her out and smiled warmly at the absolute grin sent her way. Gail leaned in and dropped a single kiss to Holly's lips.

"You never cease to amaze me."

Holly chucked to herself. "That street goes two ways."

Gail's smile widened as she shifted her weight halfway onto Holly and leaned in for another kiss. Holly felt Gail's tongue run across her bottom lip, trying to deepen the kiss.

"Babe, you do realize I taste like you right?"

Gail laughed louder this time. "No shit Sherlock. You think? That's kind of what happens when you come in someone's mouth. Don't be silly Holly, I don't care. I just want to kiss you."

Holly smiled at the tease and pulled Gail in.


Gail strolled into parade the next day with two boxes of donuts and a smile. At least six people looked at her like she was sick before she even made it to a seat. She set the boxes on the table, opening the top and turning it around so it was available for everyone. She grabbed a donut for herself and leaned back in her chair.

Three bites in, Gail couldn't take the awkwardness anymore.

"Spit it out Diaz. Why the hell are you staring at me?"

"You are smiling. And you brought food. To share."

"Yeah. And?"

"And? Gail, you do realize that is enough to make probably 90% of the people in here think there is something up." Chris stared expectantly at her. When no immediate answer came, he cautiously reached out for a donut.

Gail finished her donut before speaking up again. "I'm just happy Chris. Am I not allowed to be happy?"

Chris struggled down the rather large bite of donut he had taken. "No, of course you are. You are just not normally so…normal."

"Yeah, well…" Gail left it at that. With a smile.

Traci wandered in the room, bee-lining for the box of donuts halfway towards the front. She scooped up a jelly filled and sat on the edge of the table. "Thanks Chris."

"Wasn't me." He offered, pointing a thumb in Gail's direction as she fished out a second donut.

Traci looked back down at Gail with an actual concerned expression. "What?"

"Jeez. You would think it was the end of the world that I brought donuts." She said through half a mouth full.

Traci turned her attention back towards Chris. "Holly?"

"Definitely Holly."

Gail shoved the last part of the pastry into her mouth, raising both arms questioningly. "Am I not allowed to just be happy for no reason?"

"No." They both shot out in unison.

Gail rolled her eyes and rose from her seat, deciding standing in the back would be the better option. She adjusted her radio and leaned against the glass, refocusing her attention just in time to hear Nick ask who brought the donuts, quickly followed up with 'Is it poisoned' upon hearing who the individual was. She watched only slightly agitated as the newly joining Dov shrugged his shoulders, apparently not really caring if they were in fact poisoned, as Chris offered an only slightly believable 'I don't think so.'

"Really?" She asked, loud enough for everyone to hear. All she received in return were blank stares. Now more agitated, she flipped them the bird and turned her attention to the cell phone in her hands. She barely registered Nick's next comment. "Well at least Gail is still in there somewhere, hidden beneath the smiles and free food. At least Holly didn't turn her into a complete sap, yet." She let the words sink in, recognizing the tease for what it really was, appreciation from her friends for Holly. Her smile quickly returned, glad not only that everyone seemed to already be aware of her and Holly's dating status, but that they all seemed to be in approval.

She typed out a quick message to her girlfriend, promising to meet her for dinner after shift and pocketed the device as Traci made her way to the podium to brief them on a new case.

The case, as it turned out, was just interesting enough to pull Gail's mind into work mode. At least until she checked her messages during lunch. She had two from her brother, and one from Holly.

Both of Steve's messages were about a new hole in the wall Korean place a few blocks from the station he and Gail had wanted to check out. The first was from a few hours ago asking her to meet for an early lunch, the second only 15 minutes prior warning her to stay away, seeing as he was now glued to a toilet face first after attempting it on his own. Slightly grossed out at the overshare, but still grateful for the warning, Gail typed out a quick reply. Holly's message was much less disgusting. In fact all it was, was a date range with a question mark. Gail smiled to herself and replied 'I'll put in the request as soon as I get back to the station.'

Her afternoon consisted of a constant battle between focusing on finishing her paperwork from the bust earlier and pondering exactly where it was that Holly had decided for their trip. She pushed aside the question for the time and focused on her paperwork, determined to hold her promise to Holly true, and get done in time to fill out and submit her time off request.

She made it to the locker room only ten minutes behind the rest of her shift. Her reports were done, and her request was submitted, and now all that was left, was to get changed and meet Holly for dinner. She threw on her civilian clothes and rushed from the locker room, almost running full on into Nick.

"Hey, Gail, listen. I just wanted to say thanks for the donuts…"

She shot him a questioning glance. Obviously he had not been stalking the women's locker room to thank her for a donut.

Taking the hint, he continued. "I'm glad you are happy. You deserve that. Really."

His face was full of sincerity. It took her back slightly. They hadn't spoken much in quite some time, but regardless of everything that had happened between them, it still meant a lot to hear that from him.

"Uh, thanks Nick."

He nodded in return and left. Gail stared after him a moment, still a bit confused to why he chose now to talk, but glad he did. They had a rich history, no one could deny that. They both had made a lot of mistakes and had been put in some shit situations lately, but maybe it was time to put all of that behind them. Nick wasn't a bad guy, they just were toxic together. Gail adjusted the strap on her gym bag and glanced back up to where he had been standing. It would take some time, but maybe, just maybe, things didn't need to be so hostile between them. After all, if their relationship had not blown up in her face she wouldn't have Holly. She smiled to herself momentarily before dropping it straight off her face.

She rushed towards the exit mumbling to herself. "Get it together Peck. You are starting to look at the bright side of things. Holly is turning you into a ball of mush." As hard as she tried, Gail couldn't keep her smile down for long. Just the promise of seeing Holly soon washed away her seemingly impending new mushball-ness.
