Chapter 15

As I walked around the corner, I saw Sarah getting out of a cab, I felt stupid I had just presumed she had a car, I should have asked and offered to pick her up. That would have been the gentlemanly thing to do, even though my thoughts for her were not those of a gentleman. I wanted to fuck her in every position known to man.

She was wearing faded jeans and a rugby shirt; her hair was in a ponytail, and she looked as hot as hell.

She saw me, smiled and waved, we walked toward each other, and we met outside the café.

“Well, well fancy seeing you here,” she said with a smile that melted my heart and weakened my knees.

“I know, who would have thought” I replied. I was still not sure about the right etiquette, but Sarah took that out of my hands, she kissed me on the cheek and hugged me, shit she smelt good.

“You look bloody amazing, “I said as she broke the hug.

“And so do you, did you get a haircut?” She asked and stroked the back of my head. The feeling of her hand on my head sent messages out to my nerve endings and I shuddered.

“Yes, I had it done this morning” I replied.

“Well, I approve “she giggled and stroked the back of my head again.

“So did you want to go for a walk, or shall we grab a coffee first?” I asked

“Oh, coffee I think,” she said with a cheeky wink.

We walked into the café and took a seat toward the back. If the staff recognized Sargent Sarah out of uniform, they did not say. We ordered a pot of coffee and two toasted tea cakes.

The waitress walked away, and Sarah smiled at me, and I smiled back

“So how are you doing?” she asked

“Yea I am okay thanks; my arm is getting stronger with every day and my jaws not hurting anymore” I replied.

“And your head, is everything okay with that aspect?” she asked, and it was obvious from the tone of her voice she was genuinely worried about me I thought about that for a few seconds before I answered that tricky question.

“My head is okay,” I said, “I was warned it might creep up on me, some sort of PTSD, I will admit when I walk or run through the park I get a weird feeling inside, but I am sure I will be okay”

“Well, if you ever need to talk about it, you know where I am! “she said and stroked the back of my hand.

“That’s good of you, thanks,” I said and reached for her hand. She held it for a few seconds, and I could feel the warmth of it. She had soft hands, which surprised me a bit. I figured being a police officer she would have rough hands, do not ask me why I just did.

The waitress brought the food and drinks over, Sarah poured us both a cup out and we tucked into the teacakes. They were hot, buttery, and delicious When Sarah had finished hers, she sipped on her coffee, and I took a sip in mine. We both glanced up at each other at the same time and exchanged smiles.

“So, what do you fancy doing this afternoon?” I asked, to be fair it was an innocent question, or I thought it was.

Sarah looked around to make sure there was no one within earshot and then she turned to me.

“Let’s not beat about the bush, we both know what we are going to do this afternoon,” she said with a cheeky wink. I love a bird that knows what she wants but I thought I would play the game.

“Do we?” I asked again making a show of my innocence.

“Yes, I think we do, you want to make sure things are back in working order and I need a good shag” she whispered, then she bit her bottom lip.
