Sex with a Stranger... Or Is It?

"Yes, she said as soon as you come in, I was to send you straight to her. She didn't look pleased."

"Just fucking great," AJ said as she took a long drink of her coffee and tossed the rest in the trash can.

AJ walked toward the office, gave a light knock on the door, and waited to be allowed in.

"Come in, Detective Turner."

AJ entered the room, stood with her hands behind her back, and waited for Captain Miller to turn around. But she didn't right away. She walked down the side of her desk, behind AJ, and then closed the door to her office. She heard Captain Miller walk right up behind her, but AJ stayed forward.

"Do you often come into work late, Turner?"

"No ma'am. It just took a little longer than normal at the coffee shop this morning. It won't happen again." As Captain Miller moved from behind her and walked right past her, AJ caught just a whiff of a perfume that was still very strong in her memories. AJ glanced down at the Captain's desk and to her nameplate which read Captain Olivia Miller. AJ looked back up at her Captain, cocked her head and tried to figure out who she reminded her of.

"How long do you think it will take you?" Captain Miller asked as she watched AJ.

"Ma'am?"

"You're trying to figure out where you know me from. Would it help you if I told you Miller was my married name?" Olivia was enjoying the confusion that AJ felt. But only because when AJ finally figure it out, then Saturday night would all make sense. "My maiden name is Granger."

'Olivia Granger' AJ said to herself. It was definitely familiar, and AJ should know who she was. When she looked back up at her new Captain, and the Captains smiled at her, AJ finally figured it out. "Liv Granger? You have got to be kidding me." AJ forgot their positions for a moment and went around the desk and wrapped her arms around Liv. They hadn't seen each other in many years, and AJ didn't think they ever would, but she had been wrong. As AJ started to pull back, the perfume that she had smelled earlier was right there in front of her. She pulled back just enough to look into Liv's eyes. She saw a bit of nervousness, excitement and, the last AJ couldn't quite believe, but she also saw arousal. Since Liv's back was to the squad room, AJ lifted the collar on Liv's jacket and ran her finger across the fading love bite that she had given Saturday night.

"You," AJ said as she let her finger linger just a moment longer before stepping back and going back around to the correct side of the desk.

"Yes," Liv whispered in the voice she had used Saturday night.

AJ responded immediately to the voice that she had dreamed about last night. "Why?"

"I have always wanted to hunt you down and repeat that one night we had so many years ago. I didn't expect to ever be able to do it with the distance that was between us. When this job came open, I applied and was accepted." Liv pulled her chair closer under her desk before finishing her explanation. "Once I started here, there would be no way that we could ever repeat anything. I asked around, did a little snooping, and found out where you would be this weekend. If I was ever going to get what I wanted, it had to be before today."

"Where do we go from here?" AJ asked but was afraid of the answer.

"That was a one-time thing AJ, you know that. No matter how much we might like to repeat it, we can't, not without risking both of our careers." Liv pushed her chair back and arose. She walked around her desk and stopped in front of AJ. "I look forward to working with you Detective Turner"

"Me too, ma'am," AJ said, nodded to Liv, and released her hand. She walked to the door but before she opened she turned back around.

"Hey," AJ said. "Thanks for Friday night Ray. I won't ever forget it." AJ gave Liv a wink, and walked away from the only woman who had ever pleased her so deeply.
