The soft clicking of her wall mounted kitty clock was the only sound in the otherwise silent apartment. She flicked her cool blue gaze from the five hundred page romance novel she was reading, and eyed the time. She placed her gaze back to the book, and began reading. She flipped the book onto the couch beside her in irritation as she reread the same sentence for the fourth time now. Her mind was elsewhere. It was on her nonexistent boyfriend at the moment. She flicked her gaze back to the wagging tail of her kitty clock as it hit midnight. She yawned slightly as her eyes felt heavy. She was tired, it was a long day and it was getting longer by the second. This afternoon Gus nearly had scared the hell out of her when she had come in from her run. She felt bad at having pointed her gun at him.

She climbed off the couch and walked quietly into the kitchen and opened the fridge. She smiled as she eyed the pineapple inside of it, and she pushed past it and found her apple juice and pulled out the carton. She shut the door and pulled out a glass and poured some in and her mind wandered to Shawn, and how he had reacted about those photos. She had no doubt she could take care of herself. She was trained, and she was a cop for pete's sake. But the feminine sound of her, the woman within the cop detective loved the fact that Shawn wanted to stay with her to protect her. He cared that deeply about her and her safety. It made her feel cherished, and she longed for him to say the three words he had said months ago in anger to Carlton. She felt the same way, but was so afraid to say them first. She didn't want to cause Shawn to run screaming from her in the other direction with his commitment shy brain. She opened the fridge as she put her apple juice back away and eyed the pineapple. Shawn had announced earlier today he was going to stay with her for a few days, and he had already taken the time to buy some groceries for her place. She wondered what it would be like if he just stayed at her place even when the threat to her was long gone?

She sipped the last bit of her apple juice, and cleaned the cup with a little bit of water, and left it in the sink to be washed tomorrow. It was too late to do dishes even if she was a little worried about Shawn. He was working overload on this case, because of his father and now because of fear for her. She was going to make sure he relaxed after this case was over with some pampering. He would enjoy that a lot, Shawn adored attention. Her eyes drooped again, and she forced herself into her bedroom.

She flicked the switch on, a warm fuzzy feeling enveloped her entire being when she saw Shawn's clothing and stuff flung across the bed. He must of come by here sometime earlier to fling his stuff in here. She unbuttoned her silky white blouse, and slid it from her shoulders. Her hands went to the delicate zipper to her skirt and slowly unzipped it, and it pooled at her feet. She stood in her lacy white bra and panties and eyed the dark navy blue buttoned down shirt Shawn seemed to love to wear. She reached her hands behind her back and unclasped her bra, letting it fall to the ground in a heap with the rest of her clothing. She picked his shirt up and it felt so soft to the touch. She lifted it to her nose and inhaled, and her eyes slid shut as the scent was titillating. It had the strong mixtures of scents one of detergent, and another of a natural scent of Shawn. The shirt brushed her bare chest, and she slid the blue fabric onto her slender shoulders. She began buttoning it up, and smiled down at herself. The shirt engulfed her petite frame, and she brought the collar back up to her nose and inhaled once more. She wrapped her arms around herself and snuggled into his shirt.

She grabbed the rest of his clothes placing them on her dresser, and put his toothbrush into her bathroom that was off of her bedroom. She wished he'd come home so they could talk a bit before she fell asleep. She moved her floral comforter back and climbed into bed and snuggled into her pillow and willed herself not to fall asleep. She inhaled Shawn's scent and her eyes drifted closed and sleep overtook her.

Shawn awoke on the cool pavement. Damn it, Jordan blindsided him with the knife to the throat. He winced as he put a hand to his neck and felt a wet, warm, and sticky residue come onto his fingers. The dick cut him. He touched his eye and winced at the pain that throbbed on the side of his face.

"That's gonna leave a mark." he whined to no one particular, because there was absolutely no one on the sidewalk with him. He slowly stood up, as his body ached slightly from having hit the pavement hard, when he had been knocked unconscious by the sucker punch. Shawn slightly staggered forward, and opened the gate to the apartments that housed where Juliet was probably sleeping. He swayed slightly as he walked up the stairs to her apartment. She had given him a spare key a few months ago which was the second big step that had taken in their relationship together. The first was sleeping together, which was beyond anything he had ever dreamed it could be. Juliet was loving, and affectionate in and out of the bedroom. She made him feel things he never felt before, and he had vowed to himself that he was going to protect her from harm no matter the cost. Shawn scoffed at himself he was doing a nag up job of it so far, not only had he been held at knifepoint but he was cold cocked right outside her damn apartment. So much for protecting her. He was having more issues then he should have with her lock as he inserted the key, and his tired, and pain filled brain was having difficulty figuring out which way to turn the key. "WHAAAAT!" he smiled in triumph when he finally opened the door, and slowly stepped inside. He flicked the light on, and was happy when he saw no sign of Jules.

He didn't need her to grow worried about whatever happened to him. She needed to stay focused on herself. He needed to make sure she was safe. He kicked his shoes off, and pulled his socks off and threw them near the door. He would pick his stuff up better tomorrow. Right now he needed to find some ice for his eye, and maybe a napkin to stop the bleeding at his neck. He swayed a little from exhaustion, and pain but forced his tired limbs to move forward. He entered her kitchen and opened the freezer. The light from within splayed across everything inside. Hmmmmm she had a carton of chocolate ice cream, a bag of frozen broccoli, or some frozen fruit she used to make her homemade smoothies. He grabbed the frozen broccoli and placed the cold bag to his eye wincing slightly doing so. He dropped into the bar stool that was at the counter on the other side of the island in her kitchen.

"Shawn?" his breath caught when he heard her voice filter into the small quiet apartment. Damn, there was no way to wiggle out of an explanation.

"Go back to bed Jules I'll be there in a few." he called out hoping she'd stay wherever she was and not come to see him.

"What happened!" he saw her in the corner of his eyes and sighed. Well there went that theory!

"Nothing Jules." he smiled and she took the bag out of his hand and stared at his eye.

"That's not nothing Shawn! Oh my god what happened to your neck." she whispered tilting his head a little with gentle fingers. She touched the small little nick on his neck.

"Nothing."

"Shawn!"

"Well I was walking to your place after Gus dropped me off and I think Jordan sort of tried to intimidate me off the case." she took the bag of broccoli and placed it softly to his eye, and he winced once more. Shawn took in her look. "Jules I'm fine."

"Uh-huh tell that to your already bruising eye, and your poor neck." she scoffed.

"I'm supposed to be worried about you, you had the giant X on your pictures."

"And what I'm not supposed to be worried about you? When a murderous man wants to bully you off a case, just outside of my apartment I'm what not supposed to be upset?" Shawn sighed as she dug the bag harder into his eye and he cringed.

"Ouch."

"Shut up." she sniffed as she took the bag off of his eye. She grabbed his hand and forced him up. She tugged him to her bedroom, and into the bathroom inside of it. She flicked the light on. "Sit." she ordered as she turned around and opened the medicine cabinet. Shawn lowered the toilet seat covering and sat down gingerly on it, and put the bag back to his swollen eye. He watched her with his other eye and saw her pulling out some Neosporin, a bandage, and a wash towel. She wetted the towel a little and moved in and began lightly cleansing his wound on his neck.

"Jules I can do this, go back to bed."

"Shawn if I were you I would shut it."

"Don't quote Lassie on me, its just creepy." he whined. But when she gave him a withering look he decided to do as she said just this one time and he snapped his mouth shut. She eyed the cut on his neck.

"It doesn't appear to be deep, and most of the blood has dried. I am still going to put the bandage on for the night but you should be fine by the morning. However, your eye is a whole other story." she whispered as she leaned towards him and applied the Neosporin to the cut. He jumped when it stung.

"Jules that stings."

"Oh hush you baby." she chuckled and softly blew on his neck. He looked up at her and grabbed a little bit of her hair and sifted it through his index and middle finger. She placed the bandage on him.

"Thanks Jules."

"Your welcome." she smiled and swooped down and kissed him. Shawn sighed into the kiss as he leaned back slightly and slipped his tongue into her mouth. She kissed him hungrily and Shawn was surprised as she nipped at his lip and he felt a soft sting. He sat back a little and looked into her eyes.

"Jules you okay?"

"Make love to me Shawn." she whispered instead. Shawn moaned heavily as he surged up and kissed her. He thrust his tongue into her mouth and he dropped the bag of broccoli onto the floor as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Juliet wasn't going to be outdone, her arms quickly wrapped around his neck and she pressed herself into him more. He pulled out of the kiss, as he began unbuttoning his shirt off of her.

"You look so hot in my shirt Jules." he whispered against her lips brushing his mouth against her lips once more. Her hands were quickly undoing his shirt, and they began to race to see who could get whose shirt undone first. "Ha I won." he chuckled when the shirt parted and her breasts spilled into view. He cupped them and her head flung back as she moaned softly. He pushed his shirt off her shoulders and it fell to the ground. Juliet finished with his shirt and pushed heartedly at his own, but his arms were in the way, and his hands were too filled with her breasts to allow his shirt to slip off. Her hands went to his jeans.

"Take these off now." she growled as she undid his belt buckle. He stepped away from her, sighing as he had to let go of her beautiful breasts that were nice and puckered for him. Shawn slid his shirt off his shoulders, while Juliet continue to undo his jeans. He shoved his jeans down along with his boxers and kicked them off. He stood naked in front of her. He made a move to grab her but she danced out of his hands. She was still wearing those little lacy panties. Shawn followed her into her bedroom and she laid on the bed and waggled a finger for him to come to her. He smiled and walked slowly towards her.

"Is that all for me?" she purred. He smiled down at her, and climbed onto the bed. He laid on his side next to her. She rolled onto her side and leaned over and kissed him. Her small hand slid down his body towards his semi erect penis, but he gripped her hand. She broke the kiss and stared at him.

"Juliet, I…" she eyed him wondering what he was going to say, but he stopped. She knew deep in her heart it was three words she longed to hear again. But she knew he wasn't ready to say them yet. She decided to show him how much he meant to her. How much she loved that he cared, and worried for her so much. She pushed him onto his back.

"I'm going to make love to you Shawn." she whispered kissing first his forehead, then moved down and kissed his swollen eye very lightly. He still winced but that was all he did to show that he was still hurting.

"Jules…" she shook her head when he tried to grab her.

"Hands on the bed, no touching me." she demanded. "You disobey me, I will just have to punish you." she licked at the corner of his mouth. She eyed his penis and she saw that he was growing in size. Tonight wasn't about anything other then soothing her boyfriend. Tonight was about pleasing just him. She ducked her head and slid her tongue deep into his ear and he sighed, as she tugged on his ear lobe. "I am going to make you come so hard Shawn you are going to beg for it to stop." she whispered tantalizingly into his ear.

"Jules." she felt a hand in her hair. She sat back up.

"Hands Shawn!" she grabbed the hand that was up and pushed it the mattress. "I'm sorry but that's strike one." she snapped as she straddled him.

"What happens if I get to strike three?" he whimpered as she began trailing her tongue across his chest swirling it around his flat male nipple, lightly flicking it just with the tip of her tongue.

"You don't want to go there." she whispered her breath hot on his chest, and she bit hard on his nipple, and Shawn jumped at the slight pain. She sat up and smiled down at him. Shawn lifted a hand but dropped it back to the mattress when she eyed it. "I bet you want to touch me don't you Shawn?" she grinned down at him.

"God yes."

"I bet you want to play with my breasts?" she ran her own hands up to her tips that were hard peaks begging for him to lick and suck them. "You want to kiss me, to slide your hand down to my wetness, and plunge your fingers into my heat teasing me." his gaze followed her right hand that slid down from her breast, to her stomach and into her panties, he closed his eyes as he struggled to keep his off of her. He heard a moan escape her. "I am so wet for you Shawn." She was going to torture him wasn't she? "Open you eyes Shawn." she demanded. He lifted them and stared up at her. Her eyes were glazed with sexual arousal, probably the same as his were. "I bet you want to go down on me, and taste me don't you Shawn?" he turned his head away trying to stop from looking between her legs where her hand was buried. He gasped loudly when she wrapped a hand tightly around his hardened penis. "Shawn you didn't answer me!" she made a soft tsking noise at him. His eyes flew up to her, and she removed her hand from her panties and she was now holding him tightly with both hands. He tried to think about what she had asked him, but it was growing harder to think when all blood was rushing to his nether region.

"Y-yes, I want to kiss you, and play with your breasts, and just generally drive you wild." She let go of him and he sighed in frustration.

"Well too bad baby you won't get to do that tonight." she laughed happily turning around so he saw her butt.

"Jules don't tease me with your sexy little butt." he whined.

"You know Shawn as I recall you enjoy a good ice cream cone right?"

"Who doesn't Jules." his eyes shuddered closed as she licked lightly at his penis. "Oh." he moaned and just as quick as her mouth began to take gentle swipes at his aching member, it was gone. She turned her body and was looking at him, with a cute little smile on her face.

"Stay put." she whispered as she climbed off the bed. Shawn leaned his head up to watch as she disappeared over towards her closet. She came back and held out a blindfold.

"No Jules."

"Shawn if you don't it will be strike two."

"That's not fair you only said to keep my hands to myself."

"That's it strike two, if you get one more you'll just have to finish yourself off. But if you are a good boy I'll make sure this is a night you never forget Shawn." she purred as she twirled the blindfold between her fingers. She leaned over him and brought her mouth inches from his. "I might even let you touch me." she whispered and kissed him softly and leaned back. He closed his eyes as he was feeling incredibly turned on by her controlling the encounter. He wasn't used to this Juliet. Jules was fun in bed, but she usually allowed him to play the games. She was now the aggressor.

"Give me the blindfold." he said quietly helping her put it in place. He took the moment of brushing her with his fingers.

"Hands Shawn." he grumbled about her being bossy as he put his hands to the bed again. Juliet eyed her boyfriend. He really had no idea what she was going to do now which made her feel very powerful. She licked her lips as her sex tingled madly. Juliet didn't climb back onto the bed yet. She prowled her boyfriend. He was quite vulnerable and at her mercy which was extremely turning her on, by the way her panties felt soaked. What exactly would drive Shawn wild? She eyed his penis and knew that was an easy route, sure sexual relief would be something he needed especially being so stressed lately. But she wanted this to be a lasting sexual encounter. Something neither one of them would ever forget. She felt a wicked smile grow on her face as Shawn laid in bed looking delectable. "I'll be back my darling."

"Jules where are you going?" she ignored him completely entering the kitchen. She flipped the light on and opened a cupboard and pulled out some Hershey's chocolate syrup. She grabbed a bowl of fresh strawberries, thank god she had decided to buy some. Shawn was going to be her very own tasty treat tonight. She entered the bedroom and unhurriedly skipped back to the bed and eyed Shawn happily. She placed the strawberries, and syrup on her nightstand. She climbed onto the bed slowly, and straddled him. He kept his hands to his sides.

"Shawn remember a few months ago, when you made me wear the blindfold?"

"God yes." his breath hitched a little.

"And you may remember or not but you vowed to lick every inch of my body?"

"Oh god." he shuddered under her. She grinned as she allowed him to get the general gist of what she planned for him.

"Remember how many times I came?" she whispered now as she leaned down near his ear.

"Damn Jules just put me inside you." he whispered and she completely ignored his penis. "I'm injured don't tease an injured man." he groaned as she cut off anything more he was going to say by kissing him. She reached over and grabbed the Hershey's syrup and shimmed back a little. She smiled as she turned the bottle over and squeezed and watched a nice long thick dark chocolate line escape the tip. Shawn jumped a little when it splashed onto his chest.

"Mmmm." she sighed as she leaned down nuzzling near the chocolate. "Mmmmm." she began licking the trail of chocolate everywhere it laid on the expanse of his chest. Shawn moaned and dug his fists into the mattress desperately trying to be rewarded with getting to touch her. He just had no idea she wasn't going to let him touch her tonight. This was about making him feel cherished and loved. As much as she enjoyed him giving and she receiving, she wanted to give this time. She sat back and licked her lips. "Delicious." she smirked as she rubbed her panty clad butt against his rock hard cock. Juliet climbed off of him and eyed him. She saw some chocolate still on his chest, and didn't want to waste any of it but she decided to get the show on the road. She eyed Shawn's cock that was straining for her touch but she continued to ignore it.

"Oh Jules please can I just have one little touch." he whined. She rolled her eyes.

"One touch." she grabbed his hand on the bed that was closest to her and dragged it up to her breast. His hand cupped her greedily, and she watched as the other hand tried to join in on the fun. "You drop the other one down or that be strike three." she growled. His other hand immediately fell to the bed. She grabbed the hand at her breast that was pinching her nipple and causing pinpricks of pleasure in her, and pulled it downwards watching him as she slid it beneath her panties. He moaned harshly as she rubbed his fingers against her wetness. She pushed one of his fingers into her entrance and she sighed. She allowed barely a minute for herself to enjoy the feel of his finger within her, then she pulled it out and he protested it. She leaned down and kissed him swiftly, letting her tongue into his mouth trying to distract him. Juliet placed his hand back to the bed, and leaned over him so she could fully straddle him. She pulled out of the kiss and nipped at his chin.

"Jules you are incredibly wet, how about we forget this and I can make love you properly. We can play another night." she could hear the need in his voice. She smirked as she grabbed a strawberry and bit into it and some of the juice ran down her chin and fell onto Shawn's lips. He jumped a little. He licked his tongue out, and she longed to kiss him again.

"Yummy strawberries." She smiled and took another strawberry out, and held it to his mouth.

"Open wide Shawn." she whispered. He opened his mouth and she placed just the end of the strawberry between his teeth and he took a bite. She leaned down and kissed him. She sucked the strawberry into her mouth and smirked as she sat back and chewed it. He was pouting.

"Hey!"

"Shhhhhh." she whispered as she climbed off the bed and shucked her panties off. She climbed back on and shoved his thighs wide apart.

"Oh Jules please." he whispered and she smiled hugely as she grabbed the base of his penis. She eyed him as she wrapped her other hand around him and began stroking up and down slow but steady. Shawn sighed as she began to stroke him. Juliet reached over and grabbed the Hershey's syrup never breaking her slow rhythm. Juliet squirted just a little bit onto his tip and Shawn cried out. She chuckled when he tried to tug out of her hand. She leaned down and wrapped her lips around his tip, and sucked gently, using her tongue to swipe all over his mushroomed head, while she continued to stroke the shaft in her tight fist. Juliet ran her tongue across the slit and Shawn's entire body bucked up. She smiled with his penis in her mouth, and she could hear the soft groans of her name. She needed him too far gone to even realize when she slipped him inside her he won't be able to wait for her to find her climax. Juliet wasn't doing this for any other reason then to love him. She knew he'd get back at her some time later tonight. Juliet continued gently sucking the head of his penis, while stroking with her right hand, and now she brushed her left hand down past his penis, and slid down to his balls and cupped them. Shawn's hips flew off the bed and his hand came into her hair and she allowed him because he wasn't trying to push her away.

Juliet ran her index finger of her venturing left hand past his balls, to slide down to the perineum and began rubbing and massaging while she continued to gently suck and stroke his cock. She felt Shawn's entire body shudder as she continued to massage the area that she knew was setting him afire.

"OOH JULES!" she heard the cries knew he was growing close to his orgasm. She could feel him tensing. She sat back up and eyed Shawn. He was panting and she knew he was on the verge of his climax. "God Jules." he growled as his hand that had been in her hair fell back to the mattress. He dug his fists into the sheets. She eyed his weeping cock as the soft white pre cum accumulated there, his penis was literally begging for release. She ignored his straining, and throbbing member as she leaned up to kiss him. Shawn shoved his tongue into her mouth without much finesse, the kiss was sloppy but incredibly sexual. She moaned happily. She pushed out of the kiss and smirked down at him.

"Need to come Shawn?" she chuckled as his lips were still tense. She began licking her tongue down his body taking extra care as she ravished his navel. Her hand laid on his hip and the muscles beneath them were bunched as if he was about to lose it any moment.

"I want to make love to you."

"Well too damn bad Shawn you don't always get your way." she smirked up at him. She climbed off his body completely ignoring his cock that was standing tall and awaiting her affections again. She loved the blindfold. Shawn was never going to know what hit him. She picked up his left hand. She pushed all his fingers down but his middle down almost like he was giving her the finger, but lifted it to her lips, and she wrapped her tongue around it. She heard a loud groan escape him. She hoped he was imagining her mouth on his cock, because that was the general idea. She sucked on his finger hard, and he whimpered.

"Stop Jules."

"Why?" she asked in the middle of sucking on his finger. She pulled it out, and began lavishing his ring finger with her tongue. She gently sucked on it, and he squirmed on the bed.

"Its like you're sucking on my…" she smiled when his words cut off when she dropped a hand just above his ignored penis.

"That's the idea darling." She continued her care to his fingers. When she thoroughly sucked them and was sure he wasn't going to know what was to happen she set his hand back to the bed. "Shawn."

"Yes Jules?" his voice was thick with need.

"I am going to make you come this time." she said as she lowered her head near his penis, so he could feel her heady breath on him.

"No, Jules I want to make love to you." she nodded her head knowing exactly what he wanted but she ignored it. She swooped back down engulfing his entire penis into her mouth and he let out a startled shout of happiness. She didn't give him a chance to get ready for her. She continued to bob her head up and down, and lightly began dragging her teeth across his rigid length. She cupped him and began running her fingers across his perineum once again making Shawn's cock in her mouth jerk and she heard a loud grunt escape him. She knew he was getting close once more by the panting of his breath, and the way he was tensing beneath her. She pulled her mouth off of him, and straddled him, settling his engorged penis at her entrance knowing he was gonna lose it inside her real quick.

"Come baby." she growled and impaled herself onto him. She let out a loud sharp cry of his name as he filled her so completely. Shawn let out a loud hoarse cry of delight as he sunk deep into her wet, and tight sheath. He desperately grabbed at her hips as he felt himself erupt inside her, his hips bucked up as his orgasm tore through him. She felt his hands holding her hips so tightly his fingers almost cut into her skin as he emptied himself within her. She closed her eyes as he filled her with his cum, and knew he wasn't going to be happy once he learned she hadn't climaxed. Once the last tremor of his orgasm faded his entire body slumped back onto the mattress. Juliet kept him deep inside her still. She leaned down and pushed the blindfold off his eyes.

"Hi there." she smiled at the dazed look in his eyes. She loved the post orgasmic look he got on his face. It made her feel extremely beautiful, and womanly knowing she put that look on his face. He smiled and kissed her lovingly. He pushed back and narrowed his eyes at her.

"Wait you didn't come." he whispered. She smiled as she slowly allowed him to slide from within her.

"It was never about me coming this time Shawn. You'll get me back anyways later."

"Damn straight." he grumbled as his eyes struggled to stay open.

"You needed that."

"I needed you." he whispered.

"And I'm here. I'm not going anywhere Shawn. No one is going to scare me away with some stupid X on some photos of me."

"I love you." he whispered as he fell into a deep sated sleep. Juliet eyed him as she gently ran his sweaty hair through her fingers. She felt tears brim.

"And I love you." she whispered knowing her declaration was unheard by him but she didn't care. He would protect her, and she would protect him because they loved each other.
