August 2015
The pub was relatively empty but then, it was fast approaching 10 on a Monday evening. Stevie Moss had been enjoying a quiet drink in the beer garden with Jo Masters, until her friend had decided to call it a night. Stevie headed to the bar and ordered a beer before walking over to the table of her normally uniformed colleagues sat in a dank corner. She went to rest down on a seat which Callum Stone quickly pulled away from her. "Boys only night" he informed her. She took a glance at Ben Gayle and Nate Roberts before back to Callum.
"I can be one of the boys"
"Not in them heels and that little summer dress you can't" Nate laughed. She feigned a laugh and Callum pushed the chair towards her. "We are comparing six packs, so it does include getting your top off" Nate continued
"You are so juvenile PC Roberts"
"We were talking about turn ons" Callum spoke as she sat in between him and Ben
"Of course you were" she responded
"Come on Serge, what gets your heart pumping?" Ben asked
"A man in uniform"
"Going home with one of us tonight then?" Nate quipped
"I also like a man with" she paused, mulling over her words "Authority shall we say"
"I'm Sergeant, I have authority" Callum smirked
"But I am sergeant, so you don't quite cut it Callum" she responded
"No" Ben smiled at her "But he does" he nodded towards Smithy as he headed to the table and rested down
"I do what?"
"Nothing" Stevie cut the men off before they had a chance to embarrass her "Where have you been anyway?"
"Working late" he replied
"You really want to get in his pants Stevie? He is always working" Callum laughed
"I didn't say that, did I?"
"What's going on?" Smithy asked with a nervous smirk tracing his face
"Stevie here, is turned on by a man in uniform with authority" Ben laughed
"You are all pigs"
"And you love it" Callum spoke
"So what's your turn ons?" Stevie asked poking her tongue out at the sergeant
"Red heads" Callum smirked "They definitely have the most fun"
"Have you ever heard the saying blondes have more fun?" Stevie grinned "What about the rest of you?"
"Uniform" Ben grinned "I wouldn't mind a fit firefighter"
"A pulse and a fine pair of knockers" Nate laughed
"You are a prick PC Roberts" Stevie grinned "What about you Smithy?"
"I'm not playing this game" he took a long sip of his beer
"Piercings" Callum spoke, Smithy shot a glare at him "You remember the other week, the killer with the navel piercing, he was all set to let her go?"
"No, I felt sorry for her, she had killed her abusive ex"
"Course it was Gov, your jaw pretty much hit the floor when we booked her in"
"Fine, fine, I like women with piercings"
"And he likes blondes" Ben smirked
"Am I really this transparent?" Smithy frowned
"You aren't subtle when it comes to women" Callum laughed
"I have my belly button pierced" Stevie spoke, noticing all eyes move to her, she laughed "I have had it since I was fourteen"
"Show us?" Nate grinned
"Oh yeah, I'll just whip my little summer dress off, shall I?" she smirked at Nate
"I don't think any of us will be complaining" Ben laughed
"Oh actually, hang on" she pulled her phone from her pocket and scrolled through her photos "Here, this was my holiday last year" she held the photo of her posing in her bikini, Smithy quickly took her phone from her hand
"Ever considered a job as a firefighter?" Ben asked as he glanced over the photo
"In your dreams maybe Ben" she glanced to Smithy as he held her phone "Can I have my phone back?"
"Can you send this to me?" Smithy asked as he handed the phone back
"Yeah, he needs something to keep him busy on the lonely nights" Callum laughed
"You are all perverts" Stevie frowned. The men all laughed and the barmen ringing for last orders alerted her to the time. Ben and Nate downed the remainder of the drinks before rising to their feet and saying goodbye. Smithy headed to the bar and Callum began to pull his coat on. "I'll sit here on my own then" she frowned
"Why don't you go and keep him busy at the bar?" Callum laughed "After all, you made it pretty clear he is your dream man"
"I did not say that" she watched Callum laughing as he left, patting Smithy on the back. Grabbing her bag and his phone from the table, she walked over to him. He was still finishing his beer as the barman placed three shot glasses of vodka in front of him "You do know it's only a Monday night?" she gestured to the shots
"I'm off tomorrow" he pushed a glass in front of her. She downed it quickly as he swallowed the first of his
"You left your phone" she smiled, placing it to the bar "I sent you the photo, to keep you busy" she giggled "Oh and I have other piercings you would need to get a whole lot more intimate to find" she winked at him before walking to the door and beginning to walk from the pub.
Feeling the hand encircle her wrist, she turned back to face the inspector. He smirked at her "You little tease"
"I don't know what you mean Gov"
"Like shit you don't" he raised his eyebrows as he smirked before pulling her down the alley at the side of the pub, he backed her against the wall and smiled "Tell me about these other piercings"
"You want to know about them, you'll have to find them yourself"
"I was hoping you would say that" he placed his hand under her chin and tilted her face towards him and moved into her lips, brushing gently at first before applying more pressure. His right hand moving into her hair and his left travelling down her body. He stepped in closer to her and lifted her leg to grind against his body. She could feel his excitement growing, his hand moved along her thigh and squeezed gently on her bum. "Ah Stevie, do you have any idea what you're doing to me?" he asked as he pulled back slightly
"I'm getting a pretty good idea" she nodded down to his trousers and he laughed before pecking her lips. He pulled on her hand "Come on, I'll walk you home". He moved his arm round her shoulder and held her close to his body as they started the journey to her home.
Arriving at her home, she fumbled with the keys and opened her front door. She stepped inside and turned to face him "You want to come in? Finish that kiss?" she asked, smiling up at his dark, unreadable features. He looked away and licked his lips, she could almost see him trying to think of an appropriate way to answer.
"Stevie, you have no idea how much I want to come in and finish that kiss but if I do, we both know we are going to end up in bed together"
"Yeah"
"I don't want to ruin us, our friendship"
"Okay" she slipped her straps down her arms and bit hard onto her bottom lip, before dropping her dress to the floor "You sure?" she asked. He visibly rearranged himself as his eyes drifted over her body and she smirked at him, he stepped inside the door and closed it behind himself "It doesn't have to ruin anything Smithy"
"I hope not" he smiled before moving into her lips.
