      Cops and Lovers

      This story started off as a brief 500-word scenario titled Partners and was originally shared via the author’s website. It was later revised and expanded into the following novelette.

      Sawyer Crenshaw drew in a long breath and leaned back on his elbows. His T-shirt lay crumpled in a ball beside him on the mattress and his jeans were open at the front. He didn’t bother to zip up his fly. In a few minutes he and Finn would get back to where they’d been headed.

      Who the hell got half-naked, kissed like they’d been doing a minute ago, and then stopped before they got to the fucking? Something was seriously messed up between them. Had been for a while.

      Finn stood across the room. He had his back to the wall, his arms folded across his bare chest. He sported a scowl that said everything Sawyer didn’t want to hear.

      Or maybe he did. Maybe they needed to have this conversation. Get everything out in the open. Finally. Before the incredible tension that had been building between them for the past few months seeped into the job.

      Not that either one of them would let that happen. They were damn good cops.

      Both served on the department’s SWAT team. They’d been friends since the day Finn joined the unit, and as two of the team’s few single guys with no kids—and the only gay ones—they spent a lot of nights after work and weekends hanging out at Sawyer’s apartment or Finn’s house, spending their time off watching movies or lifting weights at the gym or working on one of Finn’s many home-improvement projects.

      Then eventually they devoted a lot of that time to simply fucking each other.

      Although they hadn’t slept together in far too long. Now they spent their downtime watching retro TV, shit like those old ’70s cops shows. They didn’t talk, didn’t laugh at the stupid-ass crooks or the retro hairstyles they usually mocked all through the show.

      It was awkward and weird and completely fucked up.

      From where he still lay on the bed, Sawyer threw Finn a smirk, knowing that alone would piss him off. You’re mad at me.

      Finn kept his hard gaze locked on Sawyer’s chest. I’m not mad.

      Screw that, Masters. You’ve been mad at me since the raid on that house on Pickett. Like it was my fault.

      You got shot. Twice.

      "I didn’t ask the guy to shoot me."

      Finn made eye contact for the first time since the kissing ended. You might as well have. You went at him like you had no training at all.

      Sawyer sat up with a jolt. Are you calling me a shitty cop?

      No. I’m calling you a reckless one.

      I know you don’t mean that. Sawyer sighed in frustration. It hadn’t been his abilities—or lack thereof—that had gotten him injured. It was the asshole homeowner and his brother who’d fired on them as they were attempting to execute a search warrant. He got off the bed. Slowly, like he might spook Finn if he moved too fast, he went to stand in front of the younger man. Just like I knew in that house you’d have my back. Like always.

      Finn met Sawyer’s gaze again and snorted out a laugh. He didn’t let up on the tense posture, though. You always think you know everything.

      Sawyer let out his own terse laugh before he returned to the more serious expression. Maybe too serious, but somewhere deep inside, there was a part of him that ached to hear Finn say the words. Out loud for once. Just admit it. You’re pissed about the shooting because it freaked you out like nothing else on the job ever has. He jabbed a finger at Finn’s bare chest. Because you’re in love with me.

      Finn’s lips parted. He sucked in a shallow, audible breath.

      That was enough of a reaction for Sawyer. He reached for Finn and cupped his cheek, then drew him forward until they were back to the kissing, this time their mouths and tongues and bodies coming together slowly, tenderly, all of Finn pressing into him, focused on him with that usual intensity of his. Shit, Sawyer would never tire of kissing this man.

      When they finally parted, Finn fell back against the wall. God, you’re infuriating. He smiled with a
