"Finally" Olivia thought as she parked her car. It had been a rare day of people following the traffic laws and being polite. "A day without doughnut jokes and free coffee? Hmm..maybe I should have picked up a lottery ticket on the way home" she mused out loud to herself. Home. One word, 4 letters, yet the comfort it brought her was immeasurable. Before that fateful day of meeting Natasha, her days were pretty routine. Wake up, go to work, get aggravated dealing with the fine citizens, clock out, and go home. There was the occasional lunch with Evony, but for the most part she was on her own. She hadn't been in a relationship since Nadia left her while she was away in Afghanistan, and the fact that Natasha had been the one to help keep the monsters at bay. She had been aware that snuck into her room to comfort her on those nights before she went back to her room. It was the first time someone gave her something without expecting anything in return, and that night when she kissed her...she never wanted to stop kissing her.
As happy as they were together, there was always something just below the surface that didn't feel quite right. She could understand her girlfriend feeling that way with only remembering the last 6 months, but she sometimes felt like a stranger in her own life. Evony always reassured her that she was right where she needed to be. Instead of questioning further, too afraid of the unknown...she would just hold tight to what she did know. She would be damned if this Bo Dennis would rip apart what happiness she knows from her.
Walking to their home, she opted to use her baton to knock on the front door. Slowly Natasha opened the door, and seeing the look in her lover's eyes decided to play along. "Is there a problem here officer?" She asked leaning against the door.
"Yes ma'am" Liv nods "there has been a report of a suspicious person loitering in the neighborhood. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that?"
"I can't say that I do but I would feel safer if you would take a look around" she opens the door fully making a sweeping gesture with her hand.
"Don't mind if I do" Olivia pretends to look around their home for any perceived threat. She loves this side that Natasha brings out in here. "Well," she began "your home seems to be clear, but I hope you'll call if you need anything."
"How can I ever repay you?" she asks undoing a few more buttons than necessary on her shirt.
"Not necessary, all part of my job. Your tax dollars hard at work." Her eyes following the newly exposed flesh.
"Mmm...is that right? Well, officer" she says as she grabs her duty belt quickly undoing it. Her eyes on her girlfriend as it falls on the floor. They learned the first time that this was an important step although they would both smile when their eyes would catch the bullet hole that marked the coffee table. "I think I should really thank you for your dedication" as she gently bites her neck.
"You do realize that soliciting an officer is against the law?" she husks in her ear.
Natasha leans back looking deeply into brown eyes darkened with desire "Oh, I'm counting on it. Are you going to arrest me?" she asks playfully.
"No, but there might be cuffs involved" she stated swooping up her girlfriend bridal style heading towards the stairs.
Natasha kisses her passionately undoing Olivia's bun in the process "Lead the way officer"
A few hours later as she laid asleep against her, Olivia continued to comb her fingers through her girlfriend's hair. Glancing at her nightstand she saw that she had a new voicemail, it could wait until tomorrow. Too content in the moment. She would do anything to protect the life she knew. So if Bo Dennis was headed towards them, then she would be ready for her.
