Sullivan

"Pass the fuckin' ball, Ransom." I hold my hands up, showing I'm open. He glances over at me, trying to find a place where he can do as I've asked. He's being double-teamed by Cutter and Devante.

"Whatcha gonna do now?" Cutter talks shit to his brother. "We're all on you like white on rice."

"Get a new analogy." He lobs the ball over his head, about as far from me as he can get.

Since they're both surrounding him though, it allows me to make a break for it, but so does Tank, who's on their team. I see him diving for it, so I do the same, knowing I'm taller than him and have longer arms. We hit the hardwood floor together, but I manage to tip the ball in favor of my team.

This will fucking hurt tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, but I can't deny how good it feels to get physical on the court. This is something I needed, especially after having to deal with Frank Gentry.

The two of us push ourselves up on shaky arms.

"You alright?" he asks, bending over at the wais

    ShelbyAs I leave the bathroom, I chance another look back at Sully. He's already rested his head against the tub, and seems to be deep in his thoughts. I can't help but wonder who takes care of him, after he takes care of the rest of the world. My heart speeds up to scary levels when I realize I want to be that person for him. It's the first time I've ever had those thoughts about someone else. I would have to have them during one of the most transitional points of my life. Shaking my head, I walk to the kitchen, trying to figure out what I can make him for dinner. I haven't been grocery shopping in a while. I'm very much content with cereal and a banana for dinner more often than not, but I know that won't do for the man in my bathroom. Rifling through the cabinets, I spot some rice. Pulling it out, I check the expiration date, because I'm pretty sure I brought this from my old apartment. Sweet, two months to go. "He'll want something to off-set the carbs." I look behin

    Sullivan"We were out at the Gentry's again last night." Ransom throws some paperwork onto my desk the next morning. "Did she press charges?"He gives me a look. "What do you think? She's scared to death of that prick, and he fucking gets off on it.""This is the part I hate about being a cop." I pick up the papers he dropped. "You can want to help people all day long, but until they're ready to accept it there's not a goddamn thing you can do.""I know, it's a bitch.""Is this for the auction?" I'm flipping through what looks to be a consent form."Yeah, Whitney was over at the house yesterday, and apparently my job in helping with this fundraiser is doing all her paperwork delivery.""I mean she does watch your kid," I remind him."She does, but she's the grandparent. It should be her honor."A laugh-sigh breaks through my mouth. "You think real highly of yourself, don't you?""Hey, if I don't, who else will? Be sure to fill that out, stick it in my box, and I'

    ShelbyWhen I get home, I don't see Sully's patrol SUV, which means he's probably still on-shift. Until right now, I didn't realize how much I look forward to seeing him at the end of a stressful day.Reaching in, I grab my briefcase and drag myself up the stairs to my apartment. Going into an empty living room is not what I want to do, but it's the life I have right now. It's nights like these I wish I had the life of most of the friends I've made here in Laurel Springs. Everyone is married with kids, or fixing to get married. They're settled. And I'm not. All the plans I had for myself seem to have never come to fruition, except being a lawyer. I love my job and I'm incredibly proud of what I've done, but none of my personal goals have been achieved.I'm not married, no kids, not even a prospect. Granted, Sully and I are getting closer, but who knows how close we'll get. Who knows how far it'll go – it's just as likely we'll burn hot and fizzle out - as is it we'll

    Shelby"Thanks for coming with me," I yell at Karsyn over the sound of the live band playing at the only bar in town. She was the first person I thought of when I saw the ad on my social media. Lucky for me, Tucker is working tonight, so she's my wing woman.She takes a drink of her beer, a grin breaking out across her face. "No problem. I haven't been out in a while, seemed fun. I hate sitting at home, waiting for Tucker to come home. My imagination runs wild at all the things that could wrong. Just wait until you and Sullivan get further into it. You'll know the fear too."I almost tell her I already feel the fear. Sometimes I wait to see him pull into the parking lot at the end of a shift, just so I can make sure he's okay.We're standing next to the pool tables when we hear someone speak. "Ladies, would you like to play?" "Not me." Karsyn shakes her head. "I'm not very good.""What about you, blondie?" My eyes move over the body of the man speaking to us. He looks h

    Sullivan"It's hot as fuck in here." Cutter runs a hand through his hair. The Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team isn't a small group of people, and Cutter's right - it's stifling. When we have a meeting with all of us, it's obvious we need a different space."They must have the heat on.""On the day it's almost seventy degrees outside," Cutter bitches."It was chilly up until today. Who pissed in your Cheerios?" I give him a look. "Dude, I have been up for thirty-six fucking hours," he grumbles."Why so long?"He rolls his eyes. "Somebody called in and we couldn't find anyone to take the spot. It's not like we can run ambulances without EMTs, so I had to stay.""Don't act like you're the only one," a voice says from the other side of Cutter's body.Moving forward slightly, I glance by him to see who's talking. "Hey, Devante." I reach out my hand to shake his. "How you doing?""Tired as fuck, just like Cutter, but if you ask him, he's the only one working mor

    Shelby"No, no, no," I shout as my copier eats the paper I'm trying to copy. "Son of a bitch." I brought it from Houston, and it was on its last leg then. "I just need you to last a few more weeks," I beg it. In two weeks I'll be going to the Laurel Springs PD to write out wills for any of the officers who don't have one yet. "Is everything okay in here?" "I didn't even hear you come in," I tell Stella as I beat on the side of the damn machine."You were too busy yelling at the copier.""It's lucky I don't throw it out the window," I groan. "What do you need?"She has a seat on the couch in my office. "We're having a girls night out. Come join us, we've all had a shitty week.""I am so there," I groan again when the copier eats the paper. "Fuck this thing, when are we leaving?""Right now." She laughs as I slam the top down. "Let's go." I walk around my desk, grab my purse out of it, and turn the open sign to closed. "Who all's coming?" I ask as we walk to the loca

    Sullivan"Domestic at thirty-five sixteen Laurel Court."I groan when dispatch comes over the radio with the address. Third time in the past month we've been called to this place."Neighbors are calling saying white male with no shirt on and a pair of jeans is beating a white woman in the front yard of the home. They've tried to intervene, but he's got a knife."Immediately my adrenaline surges. The man at this home has been escalating, and I'm honestly surprised it's taken him this long. "Show me as responding," I radio in. "Me too." Nick's voice on the other end gives me a glimmer of hope. We're both big guys and possibly together we can take him down.Flipping on my lights and sirens, I press the pedal on my Charger, feeling it respond underneath me. It doesn't have the same loud motor my Mustang does, but it has a lot of get up and go. While a huge part of me wants to race through the streets going as fast as I can, another part knows I have to be as safe as possibl

    Shelby"Are you okay?" I ask Sully as we meet each other in the breezeway between our apartments."No, I hated letting you leave with her, knowing I wouldn't be there to make sure the two of you were safe from that fucker.""I'm good, I promise."His hands go immediately to my hair, burrowing deep. Before I can say anything, his mouth claims mine. This is different than any of the other kisses we've shared. The hunger.The possession.It's everything I've always wanted and never had. He towers over me, encapsulating my body with his. Our fingers fight against each other, and I have no idea where he's taking us until Sullivan opens a door, and I know by the clean spicy scent we're in his apartment. He backs me up far enough until we get to his bedroom.Instead of the passionate coming together we usually have, this is slow. The setting sun shining through the window, bathing us in the glow of the afternoon.Pulling back, I try to figure out how to get him out of his u

    MenacePresent TimeIt's been a hell of a day. One where I got here late in the afternoon because I had meetings. Something I've learned since taking this position a few months ago is that it's mostly meetings. It's keeping people happy and kissing a lot of ass.        My legs ache to get back out on the street, to do a couple laps around downtown, or to drive a car fast. To chase a speeder with the lights bright and the siren blaring. I miss it more than I thought I would.        It's close to midnight and I know Rina will be wondering where the hell I am, but I wanted to get a look at what went on today by reading the reports of the officers. This is something I do everyday so I can try to gauge how my officers are doing. It's important for me to know if there's an issue in town. If someone is a nuisance, do we need to step up patrols in certain areas?        Community policing is the name of my game and I take it seriously.       Reading the last report, submitted by Caleb

    ArcherA Year And A Half LaterNerves make circles in my stomach as I stand outside of Laurel Springs Medical waiting for Alisa to come out. She doesn't know I'm here and, the truth is, I didn't know I was going to be either. I've been carrying this ring around in my pocket for the last year and a half of the two years we've been together.        Waiting.       For what, I'm not sure.        The right time?        The perfect moment?       We live together. I could've done it a million times, but there's something different about these stars against the inky blackness of the sky. They aren't crazy bright, but they aren't muted either. They're sparkling. The perfect backdrop to the plan I have.       Tonight, as I helped a woman leave a dangerous domestic violence situation, I realized I'm wasting precious and valuable time. Even after dealing with Calvert County, it didn't hit me that seconds are to be treated with the same reverence as the big events in life.        Lo

    Alisa"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?"       "Yes." I nod as I sit before the grand jury to give my testimony about what happened with Officer Fugate.       "Please tell us when you first met him," the attorney instructs.       Archer is sitting in the back row, all hot in his uniform. I don't know how he managed to be here, but he has      and it's one of the sweetest things he's done for me. I'm not sure I could be doing this without his dark eyes staring back at me. "I met him when he brought a suspect into the ER. It was obvious that man had been beaten badly and it didn't happen only once. After that day, it happened on a regular basis…"ArcherUshering Lis into the station is like sending a babe into the belly of the beast. She's never been here before, doesn't know how things work, and could honestly be scared, given everything she's dealt with.       I'd like to kill Officer Fugate with my own two hands.

    ArcherIt's a gully washer tonight, as my instructor at the Academy always said when it rained hard. Visibility fucking sucks and I've worked more accidents tonight than I have in the previous three months. It's as if when it rains, no one can remember how to drive. It's hard to even see out of my windshield but, as I pass one of the abandoned gas stations on the outskirts of town, I see another cop stopped.They're an eyesore and, at the next city planning meeting, there's going to be a vote on demolishing them. They're a breeding ground for drug use and criminals. We've put up cameras to show what happens at night when there aren't patrols going back and forth. Since it's raining and dark, I figure I'll hit them, just to make sure nothing's going on that shouldn't be.As I round the corner. I'm surprised as fuck to see Alisa's car parked next to a Calvert County patrol SUV. She's kneeling in front of a cop who has a taser pointed at her. My heart gallops in my chest as I wonder

    Archer"Chief Harrison wants to see you," Tank tells me as I make my way into the squad room.        I have no idea what I've done and am immediately  questioning what the hell is going on. I try to do everything by the book and I can't remember anything I might've done that was untoward. My stomach rolls as I head toward his office. I've never been called before him before and, truth be told, I never wanted to be.       When I reach the door, I knock with a double tap.       "C'mon in."       Opening it enough so that I can sneak my head in, I glance at the Chief. "You wanted to see me, Sir?"       "Yeah, come in and have a seat. There's a few things we need to discuss."       I don't like the sound of this shit at all. Going in, I have a seat in the chair facing his desk and prepare to get my ass handed to me.       "Officer Fugate has made a complaint and I'm bound by state laws to investigate those complaints."      "I told you what happened," I defend myself. "He'

    Alisa"Thank you for coming tonight," he says as we enter my apartment.        "You don't have to thank me. You've saved me more times than I can count." I grin, taking my jacket off. "Come sit over here on the couch with me. You look a little stressed."       "They do that to me." He waves his hand toward the street where his parents have just left. "They always make me feel like I'm not good enough, as if I should've done something different with my life."       "I know how that feels." I beckon him over with a crook of my finger. "Let me take care of this tension for you, Archie. Let me show you what the fuck your parents are missing."       Something about the way they don't appreciate their son has me wanting to show him just how much I do. How important he is to my life. One of the ways I can think of  showing him is with my body.       Fuck if that isn't exciting.       Reaching for my shirt, I pull it over my head, motioning for him to do the same. In a lazy game o

    ArcherI'm heading into the squad room at the station to pick up some supplies when the phone in my pocket rings loudly. There aren't many people I have set ringtones for, but this one? I hate when it rings.       It's my parents.       Not wanting to make whichever one this is wait, I hurriedly answer. It's always struck me as odd. They were so quick to get me out of their lives, yet they do everything together, including share a fucking cell phone. That's right, they share this phone, which means I never know who I'm going to talk to when I put it to my ear.       Talk about a surprise every time I answer.       "Hello?"       I wait for the response. It's always delayed as if they're on some far away phone line. "Archer, it's Dad."       No fucking shit.       "Hey Dad," I answer, wondering if he'll continue on or if I'll have to pull the words from him like teeth. "What's going on?"       "Your mom and I will be in Laurel Springs tonight. We'd like to have dinner w

    AlisaHis body over mine is equal parts hot and hard in all the right places. Our naked skin slides together as he leans down to take the tight bud of my nipple in his mouth. "Yes." I tilt my head back against the pillows, allowing him full reign over my body. "Please don't stop," I beg as I rake my hands over his strong back before digging my fingers into the hair on his head.       "Never gonna stop," he promises as he sucks at the prominent tip, before letting it go and moving further down.       I'm still unsure of how we got our clothes off. All I know is they're in a pile next to the bed. He moves down my body, kissing my stomach before he drops onto his knees and pulls me to the edge. Separating my thighs, he props them up on his shoulders, gazing up at me with those dark eyes before he dips down.      His warm mouth covers my pussy, going straight for my clit and lapping against the trembling flesh. "Archer," I moan, lifting my hips to meet his mouth. "It's been so fucki

    Archer "Look guy." I hope me using that term pisses him off. "This isn't even your jurisdiction. What the fuck right did you have to pull her over?"       "It's Officer Fugate," he corrects me, before continuing on. "She failed to signal a turn."       I'm real annoyed. "You got that on your dash cam?" I point to where his camera is mounted on the dash.        "It wasn't on." He shrugs.       "How fucking convenient for you." I smirk, shaking my head.       "It's something the garage knows about, but the budget is lean over in Calvert County." He eyes me.       My gaze is on Alisa who's sitting in her car with her hands locked around her steering wheel. She's white-knuckling as he and I stand out here, yelling at one another. "I'm not allowing you to ticket her without proof. Did you radio it in?"       His cheeks go red, which tells me all I need to know. "You son of a bitch. You think you can intimidate her? Officers like you give the rest of us a bad name." Going in
