light schedule today and was looking forward to getting an early start on the
weekend. She looked up when she heard Sam coming down the hall. Now that
she was getting used to seeing Sam in her uniform, she couldn't help admiring
how good she looked in it.
"You really do look great in this Honey." Riley said reaching out to run her fingers down the sharp crease on the front of Sam's shirt.
Sam slipped on her mirrored aviator sunglasses and grinned cockily. "Glad you
like it Babe." She purred in a sexy voice. Riley felt every word right between her
legs. She swallowed trying to get some moisture into her suddenly dry mouth.
This was something she hadn't considered, that she'd be turned on by Sam in
her uniform.
Sam had been watching Riley's facial expressions. Her cocky grin widened
when she realized Riley had become aroused. She took her baton off her belt
and lightly ran it up the inside of Riley's thighs. "Maybe when we get home
tonight I could show you all my equipment." Sam stroked her again with the
baton.
Riley's eyes were dilated and her chest was heaving as her arousal soared. She
wasn't sure how much longer her legs would hold her up. Her reaction to Sam's
words had been unexpectedly intense. Sam slipped her baton back onto her
belt. She hadn't expected Riley to react quite so strongly. She felt her own
arousal surge. Sam glanced over at the clock. If they didn't leave right that
minute, they were both going to be late.
"I'm sorry Babe, we have to go." She said with a disappointed sigh.
Riley looked at Sam unbelievingly. She wasn't even sure she could walk. She
looked over at the clock and groaned. Shaking her head she tried to focus her
thoughts away from the throbbing between her legs.
"You're gonna pay for that McKenna." She threatened Sam as she shakily made
her way to the door.
Sam threw back her head and laughed. "Promises, Promises." she teased. She
met Riley at the door and placed a quick kiss on her lips. They headed out to the
parking lot together.
For the first time since she'd gone back to work, Sam headed out the door with a
light heart. Riley headed off to work never realizing that for the first time she'd
watched Sam leave for work and hadn't been scared.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam lay on her stomach trying to catch her breath. Riley was sprawled across
her back where she'd collapsed. Riley finally managed to slide off Sam and roll
over onto her back. Sam flipped over and they both lay side by side, panting.
"Damn Riley, you're trying to kill me." Sam accused. Riley had pounced on her
the second she'd walked in the door. That was over two hours ago. She'd been
surprised to find Riley home but Riley hadn't given her a chance to ask any
questions. The first round had been on the couch. Riley had managed to strip
her of her clothes in record time. When she'd buried her face between Sam's
thighs, it had effectively ended any conversation. The second time they'd made it
as far as the hallway before Riley had pushed her against the wall. They had
eventually made it to the bedroom. Sam had managed to turn the tables briefly
but Riley had been unrelenting. Sam chuckled to herself. She'd definitely met
her match in Riley and surprisingly she loved every second of it.
"I warned you this morning. I had to take a freezing shower when I got to work
this morning thanks to you."
"That you did Baby, that you did," Sam laughed. "Though I never did get to show you my equipment." Sam teased. She groaned when Riley slid back on top of
her, her eyes sparking. She didn't want to admit Riley had worn her out. Riley
started to kiss her neck. Her growling stomach provided a distraction. "Food
Babe, I need food to keep up my strength." Riley's stomach growled loudly at the
mention of food.
"Okay." She pouted. "But I'll hold you to it later."
Sam kissed her forehead and rolled them both out of the bed. "You bet." She
said wiggling her eyebrows.
Riley couldn't help but sigh as she watched Sam leave the room her tight gluts
flexing as she walked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They'd decided on sandwiches and returned to bed with them. They sat talking
as they ate.
"So what did you and Davidson do today, anything interesting." Riley asked.
Sam looked over questioningly then realized although they'd started talking
more frequently about her day, she'd never actually mentioned who her partner
was.
"I'm not riding with Davidson." Sam explained. I was his Field Training officer.
After he passed his twelve-week training, he was assigned to another officer and
placed on probation for a year. You usually don't ride with the same rookie you
were FTO for. I'm riding with Kellie Matthews and continuing her training during
her probation year. You remember her from the baseball game?"
The green-eyed monster jumped out and grabbed Riley by the throat. Sam was
riding in a car every day with that... that...woman!
"Yeah I remember her." Riley finally acknowledged, jealously making her voice
sharp.
Sam frowned at Riley's tone of voice. She was confused by her sudden change in demeanor.
"She's a goo
officer." Sam said thinking maybe Riley was just concerned.
'I'm sure." Riley said dismissively.
Sam couldn't help grinning as she figured it out. "Don't worry Babe, I'm all yours."
"Yeah well you'd better make sure that green-eyed blond bimbo knows it too." Riley said sharply.
Sam fell back against the pillows holding her sides as she roared with laughter. This was
a side of Riley she'd never seen, much less expected. She looked over and saw Riley
glaring at her. She smothered her laughter as best she could but couldn't help the snicker
that slipped out. She tried to take Riley in her arms only to be poked in the ribs.
Sam sobered. "I wasn't laughing at you Babe, honest. I just never pictured you as the
jealous type."
Riley blushed at her behavior. "It's a new experience for me." She admitted sheepishly.
"I... just the thought of you with her every day in that little car... I just... It makes me nuts."
"I promise, you have nothing to worry about, besides Kellie's not gay." Riley snorted.
"And even if she was it wouldn't matter. I love you Riley and I'm not interested in
anyone else." She told her seriously. Sam realized this had more to do with just being jealous. Part of it must be coming from Riley's insecurities. Knowing how Linda treated
her, she wasn't surprised.
Riley straddled Sam's lap facing her. It was time to change the subject; she was
embarrassed by her jealousy. She leered at Sam then leaned forward.
"Now what was that about showing me your equipment?" She husked in Sam's ear then pulled the lobe between her teeth and bit down lightly.
Sam groaned as all coherent thought was driven from her mind.
Chapter Thirteen
Riley had kept her promise to Denny to bring Sam over to meet Carol and Jeremy. She'd
been a little nervous, they had both despised Linda, but then again she could hardly
blame them. They were both immediately taken with Sam. At the first get-together, Sam
had come across as very open and friendly. Only Riley knew that despite Carol's probing
Sam had actually told her very little about herself personally. It'd been so skillfully done that neither Carol nor Denny had realized it. As time passed and Sam began to trust them
she'd gradually opened up a little more. Now over two months later Riley could honestly
say that Carol and Denny were Sam's friends as well as hers. Sam took great pleasure in
hearing all the tales Denny told about her from medical school and work. Sam had
laughingly told her it was payback for encouraging Jess to tell stories about her.
Riley looked up when the sound of laughter interrupted her thoughts. They'd invited
Carol and Denny to the condo for dinner and she'd been working on a salad to go with
the dinner Sam was making. Taking in the scene before her, her eyes narrowed. Carol
was standing behind Sam at the stove, her hands on Sam's broad shoulders and she was
leaning lightly against her back as they talked. Carol laughed at something Sam said.
Riley cleared her throat loudly and two heads turned at the sound. Carol raised her
eyebrow in question but never removed her hands from Sam. Sam got a good look at
Riley's face, Uh Oh! I know that look! Before she could move away from Carol Riley spoke.
"If you can't keep your hands off my girlfriend, I'm not going to invite you over any
more." Riley told Carol in an only partly teasing tone.
Carol flushed with embarrassment and quickly removed her hands from Sam. It wasn't
the first time Riley had mentioned her penchant for touching Sam. Carol didn't know
what it was about the beautiful cop that just seemed to draw her to her. She'd always
been a very tactile person but Sam just seemed to bring that trait out in her even more.
She grimaced to herself; you'd think I'd know by now how Riley reacts to someone
touching Sam. Carol was saved by a cry from the other room.
"I better go check on the baby." She said quickly making her retreat.
Riley got up and approached Sam. Sam wrapped her up in a loving embrace and leaned
down to kiss her. "She doesn't mean anything by it Babe." Sam tried to assure Riley.
"I know." Riley admitted blushing. "I can't help it. I hate seeing another woman's hands on you no matter how innocent. Poor Kellie must think I'm the biggest bitch around."
She said remembering her reaction to Kellie touching Sam the first time they'd gotten
together at O'Grady's for drinks. Sam had hoped by Riley getting to know Kellie it
would ease her jealously. Riley sighed. "Carol has always been the touchy feely type, it never bothered me before."
Carol came back into the room. She walked over to where Riley was still wrapped in
Sam's arms and put her hand gently on Riley's back.
"I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry." Riley apologized. "I just don't know what comes over me sometimes. I see a woman touch Sam, no matter how innocently and this jealous bitch just jumps
out."
Carol ran her eyes appraisingly down and back up Sam's body. "Can't say I blame you
Kiddo."
Riley grinned when Sam blushed at Carol's blatant appraisal. The three women shared a
laugh easing any remaining tension.
A banging at the front door announced Denny's return. "I'm going to kill him if he wakes the baby." Carol declared as she headed for the front door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
They sat eating dinner and discussing Carol and Denny's plans for the upcoming holiday.
It would be Jeremy's first Thanksgiving. Denny's parents had yet to see the little boy and
would be flying out to spend the holiday with their new grandson.
"I bet you'll be glad to miss the 'command performance' next week." Denny commented to Riley.
Riley grimaced. "Yeah I sure won't miss spending an evening with those pompous jerks."
Sam looked over at her questioningly.
"Every year at Thanksgiving my uncle hosts a dinner to support the homeless. Part of the proceeds from the tickets goes to provide Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless at a
local shelter. These blowhards stand around all night in their fancy suits and pat
themselves on the back for their great contribution to the community. If they just donated
all the money it took to put on the dinner they could probably provide food to a local
shelter for a year." Riley ranted. "Since my uncle sponsors the event I was required to attend, with an escort he chose of course. I wonder how he'll explain my absence. I've
been there every year since I was eleven. He'll probably tell them I'm dead." She said bitterly.
