“Good,” he finally took a sip of his black coffee. He held back a grimace at the burnt taste and the coffee grounds residue in his mouth. His cup must have come from the bottom of the pot. Not the worst coffee he’d ever had, but he wasn’t going to let on that it was horrible. “So tell me aboutyourself.”
“Well, I’m the youngest of five children. I’m the only girl.” She winced. He laughed at her ‘pain’. “Not funny, you will never know what it is like being the baby of the familyandthe only girl!” shegroaned.
“It can’t be that bad,” he said, laughing. She stared at him for a second with a straight face, before giving into a smile. He chuckledagain.
“My brothers are very… protective of me,” she said slowly while shaking her headslightly.
“Rightfullyso.”
“Hey!” She playfully punched him slightly in the arm, laughing. He loved the sound of her laugh and the way her eyestwinkled.
They continued to talk, getting to know each other, and learning about each other’s families. Before he knew it, an hour had passed. His attraction to her grew by the minute and he didn’t want their time to end. He has had a constant hard on since she walked into thecoffeeshop.
“Will you go for a walk with me?” he asked, sending up a prayer that she wouldsayyes.
“Sure.” She smiled and he could have sworn her eyes darkened with need for a second, but it could have been a trick oflight.
Near the coffee shop was a small park with a duck pond and a trail for walkers and joggers. Streetlights lined the empty trail, illuminating it for any nighttime runners. They strolled in a comfortable silence for a few minutes before he felt her small hand slide into his. He smiled down at her, lacing their fingers together, pulling her closertohim.
The faint aroma of her perfume drifted up to him, making him want to throw her over his shoulder and carry her away to his apartment. His desire to spend the rest of the night exploring her petite curvy body, licking and kissing every inch of it, increased the longer he waswithher.
“So what made you want to be a cop?” she asked, looking up at him, breaking him away from hisfantasy.
“Well, I loved playing cops and robbers with my brother and sister when we were kids.” Her smile quickly faded at a sound of a scuffle in the woods. His body stiffened at the sound. She gasped as two figures fell from the woods in the midst of battle. Swords clashed as the two locked in a deadly battle. Cooper pushed Nadira behind him as he pulled his weapon from hisholster.
“Freeze! CPD!” he yelled at the two figures in the shadows, as one fighter took advantage of the distraction, swinging his sword swiftly, separating the head from the figure, the body falling to theground. “Shit!”
Cooper pushed Nadira behind him again as she tried to peekaroundhim.
“Freeze! CPD!” he shouted again, aiming his weapon at theassailant.
“Toma?” Nadira called out, quickly moving from behind him, going to the large male with a sword still inhishand.
“Nadira, honey, move out of my way,” Cooper said, his arm steady as he aimed at thekiller.
“Nadira, what the hell are you doing here?” The male towered over her as he stalkedtowardher.
“I will shoot your ass! Get the fuck away from the female!” Cooper shouted, slowly stepping towards the pair. Nadira stood in front of the towering black-haired man. The closer he moved to them, he could see the attacker had the same blue eyes as Nadira. Menacing icy blue eyes that were now trainedonhim.
“Cooper, this is my brother, Toma,” she said, pleading with her eyes. “Please put thegundown.”
“Like hell I will. He just killed a guy in front of me,” Cooper said, nodding to the headless corpse lying on the ground a few feet from them. “Throw yourweapondown.”
“Nadira, who the fuck is this?” The guy named Toma demanded, grabbing Nadira to turn her to him. Her eyes widened as she looked back and forth between the man she called her brother andCooper.
“Cooper, please don’t shoot him,” she pleaded as the guylaughed.
“What the fuck is the human’s bullet going to do to me?” Toma asked pointing his hand atCooper.
Whatthefuck?
Human?
What the hell is up withthisguy?
Two more extremely large men dressed in all black came out of the woods. Both had their swordsdrawntoo!
Swords?
