Chapter 8: Playing hooky

"Dammit" Scotty swore, he had totally forgotten that he had invited Vera and Will over to watch the Basketball game at his place. He lowered Lilly back to the floor.

"What do we do now Scotty" Lilly asked the terror in her voice was obvious.

"I get rid of them quick just go hid in my bedroom" Scotty said pulling up his pants and throwing his shirt back on. She gathered up her dress and bra gave him a quick kiss before hurrying into his bedroom.

Scotty took a deep breath and opened the door. "Oh hey guys sorry I totally forgot you guys were coming I am not feelin' good I just came home and crashed out on the couch, Can we give it a miss this week I am just gonna go to sleep" Scotty said pathetically hoping they catch on to the real reason he wanted them gone

"Oh man, I was lookin forward to this all afternoon" Vera said grumpily

"Sorry man I think I may be commin down with the flu or something" Scotty lied and let out a fake but very convincing cough

"Well we let you get some sleep than don't wanna catch anything, come on Nicky lets go watch the game at the bar down the road" Jefferies said pulling Nicks arm away from the door and bidding Scotty goodnight.

Scotty shut the door behind him breathing a sigh of relief and leaning back against the door. He walked into his bedroom and Lilly was sitting on the edge of the bed

"That was close" She said nervously

"Tell me bout it" He sat down beside her "Told them that I was coming down with the flu I think they bought it" He leaned over and kissed her and her hands moved around the back of his head.

She fell backwards on the bed dragging him with her, He settled down on top of her and kissed his way down her neck and nibbled on her earlobe and she shivered under him.

"Now where were we before we were so rudely interrupted" He said against her neck

His hands moved over her breast gently squeezing one of them as she shoved his shirt of him running her hands over his broad muscular shoulders. Lilly fumbled with the buttons on his pants again feeling his erection against her hands and he let out a groan.

"Oh god Lil" Scotty kissed back up her neck to her lips stealing hot kisses from them as his hand moved over her flat stomach and between her thighs. Lilly pushed his pants and boxers down his legs as he removed her panties and slipped a finger into her.

"Holly crap Scotty" She cried out breaking the kiss and throwing her head back onto the mattress.

Scotty encouraged by her breathy s continued to move his finger around her walls and he felt the rhythmic clenching of her muscles around his fingers as her first orgasm crashed over her like a wave. She screamed his name fisting at the sheets and she wrapped her long legs around him pulling him closer as he withdrew his hand moving it to the curve of her hip as he moved over her.

Scotty grabbed a condom from the bedside cupboard draw and slipped it on before moving into her. The two lovers began to move the only sound between them was the grunts and moans they released at the pleasure being created. He moved faster and faster inside of her penetrating deeper with each powerful thrust. She fell over the edge again and she clutched at his back Scotty knew he wouldn't be able to hold on any himself and with one last kiss on lips, one last powerful thrust he came and his arms gave out and he fell on top of her with a guttural growl.

Once he regained enough energy he moved off her pulling her into his side and threw his arm over her waist.

"That was great baby" Scotty said kissing her neck. She sighed happily and rolled over to face him. Lilly kissed him on his cheek and moved closer into the warmth of his body and before too long they were both fast asleep.

Scotty's alarm clock woke them at 5:50 the next morning and pulled Him out of a wonderful dream he was having which evolved Lilly, no clothes and a deserted beach. He hit the snooze button and moved to kiss her.

"I wish we could stay here all day" he said into her hair

"So do I, but we have a case to solve" she said moving to a sitting position but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back down to him.

"You know we could call in sick, I am sure the others could handle a day without us and well I still getting over my....flu" he said wriggling his eyebrows and she giggled.

"That would be playing hooky Scotty and I never done that" Lilly said

Scotty gave her his puppy dog face and she felt her resistance fading.

"Well there's a first time for everything" She said and she grabbed her cell phone and headed for the bathroom. He couldn't believe it had Lilly Rush his no nonsense 100% by the book partner had just agreed to play hooky. He pulled his own phone out and phoned Stillman.

"Hey Boss, I am not feeling to good I think I am commin down with the flu" He said using his best sick voice he used to use on his mum when he wanted to get the day off work.

"Well I hope you get better, I think Lil might of caught your flu just had her on the phone she not coming in either so I'll tell you what I told her I don't want to see either of you until you are better, never mind about the case we got it covered" Stillman said sympathetically

"I will Boss thanks" He hung up and smiled as Lilly reappeared from the bathroom.

"So what do you wanna do now? " She asked as he got off the bead and moved towards her.

"What do you think?" He asked as his he lowered towards hers.

They spent the day in bed making Lilly felt slightly guilty over lying to Boss but after their fourth round of sex that morning she soon forgot her guilt.

Meanwhile the other continued to work on their current case. Kat and Jefferies went in to talk to Claudia's brother about Phillip. He told them that although he didn't get alone with Phillip he didn't hate him enough to kill him and he told them on the night he died he was working late at the office.

Vera and Stillman went to visit a few of Phillips friends at his favourite bar. They told them about the night before Phillips death Mark had come in to the bar and punched Phillip yelling at him to stay away from his sister and if he knew what was good for him he would leave. They told the detectives that Phillip told him that he loved Claudia and would never leave her. Mark then threatened to kill Phillip.

"Well" Stillman said when they got back to the department "Let's get Mark in here and see if the death threat will jog his memory"

Vera and Jefferies took Mark into interrogation room and asked him about the death threat. He broke down and told them that Claudia thought that Phillip was cheating on her so that's why he went down to the bar that night to confront him. When Phillip told him that he would never leave his sister or their child Mark took it upon himself to force him to. Mark got a gun and waited till Phillip left the apartment that night walked up behind him with the gun. He told them that he called out Phillip's name and when he turned he fired until Phillip was dead.

Vera wrote down his confession and Mark signed it and he was escorted out in handcuffs.

"I am going to stop by Lil's to tell her what happened and to bring her some chicken soup, best thing when I am sick" Kat said as she left.

"Yeah I was going to see Scotty, been trying to call him all day and he ain't answering gonna check to see if he is okay"

When Kat arrived at Lil's place she found that Lilly wasn't home although her car was out the front. Kat tried ringing her cell but it went straight to voicemail.

Vera on the other hand got the shock of his life when he knocked on Scotty's door and Lilly answered it wearing only Scotty's Shirt.
