NYPD Blue Fanfiction

Rita's Fanfic

 

 

AN AMAZING TRIP

This story takes place between Season 9 & 10.

 

 

Late Tuesday afternoon…

 

ANDY: Hey Jr., did you get anything from BCI on our suspect?

 

JR.: Not yet. Some computer glitch, they said to give them half an hour and their system will be back up.

 

ANDY: (Rubbing his head in frustration) Yeah, what they really mean is sometime before midnight.

 

JR.: Well the guy I spoke with said they were almost done so we should just be patient.

 

ANDY: Yeah, yeah okay. (Turning as Rita and Connie walk in with a suspect in their case)

 

CONNIE: (To PAA John) What’s free John?

 

PAA JOHN: The Pokey and Interview 2 detective.

 

CONNIE: Thanks. (To Rita) I’ll put him in the Pokey and meet you in the Boss’ office.

 

RITA: You got it. (Turning she smiles at Jr. as she heads to Rodriguez’s office)

 

ANDY: (Whispering to Jr.) So how’s it going with you two? (He nods towards Rita)

 

JR.: Pretty good. We’ve been spending a lot of time together. She even met my dad and they seemed to hit it off. (Lowering his voice a notch) How about you and Connie? Things good there?

 

ANDY: (Looking around) It’s different with us…

 

JR.: (Looking at him confused) What do you mean different? It’s good or it’s not.  Simple Andy. Unless you got this new way I don’t know about? (Jr. teases)

 

ANDY: (Giving Jr. the look) No. I mean, if you haven’t noticed I’m not some young buck who’s all free and clear to date. I’ve got my son and I’m not into all those things Connie’s into.

 

JR.: (Sarcastically) And what exactly is Connie into?

 

ANDY: (Sighing) I don’t know John, I mean a good time for me is a nice dinner out and a quiet evening at home afterwards. That’s it. What if Connie likes to go out to those dance clubs with all that noise and that funky dancing and shit.

 

JR.: Andy you’re starting to worry about things that don’t seem to be an issue. I don’t see Connie as the party type. I’m pretty sure she would say something to you if she wasn’t happy. Has she ever hinted that she didn’t enjoy your time together?

 

ANDY: No, but….

 

JR.: (Cutting Andy off) Then relax partner before you blow what seems to me, to be a good thing.

 

ANDY: (Sighing and rubbing his head) Yeah, you’re probably right. I should just enjoy this before she wakes up and gives me the boot.

 

JR.: (Laughing) That’s what I like about you Andy… your eternal optimism.

 

Jr. runs downstairs to grab a soda and Connie walks back to her desk after she and Rita finish up with the Lt. Smiling, she sits down at her desk.

 

CONNIE: How’s it going?

 

ANDY: (Smiling) Good that your suspect you brought in?

 

CONNIE:  It looked like it but the Lt. just told me and Rita that the prints at our crime scene weren’t his. We’re holding him on a ‘Failure to appear’ warrant while we sort this out. How’s your case going?

 

ANDY: It’s not. Our guy’s alibi pans out so we’re back to square one. BCI is having computer problems so we’re waiting to hear back from them before we kick this guy. (Looking around) What are you doing tonight? You up for dinner?

 

CONNIE: I’m always up for dinner with you and Theo, where did you have in mind?

 

ANDY: Actually it’ll just be the two of us. Theo has soccer practice ‘til 7 then he’s having dinner with his pal Gregory. Gregory’s parents will drop him by after dinner, about 8:30 or so. If you’re busy, we can do it another time. (Realizing what he’s just said he quickly adds) Dinner… I mean we can have dinner another time.

 

CONNIE: (Smiling at his discomfort) I understood what you meant Andy. I would love to have dinner with you. (Getting up) And just so we’re clear Sipowicz I always enjoy our time together, whether we spend it alone or with Theo, I have no complaints. Got it?

 

ANDY: (Smiling with relief) Yeah, I got it. (He watches her walk towards Rita’s desk and feels a little tingle as he thinks to himself) Damn, just watching her walk is exciting. What the hell am I getting myself into?

 

JR.: (Noticing Andy daydreaming) Hey partner, where ya’ been?

 

ANDY: (Clearing his head) Nowhere.  So, are you gonna call BCI or what?

 

 

That evening at Giorgio’s restaurant…

 

 

CONNIE: (Admiring the surroundings) This place seems nice Andy, have you ever been here before?

 

ANDY: Once before, the food is good. (He finds himself staring at her)

 

CONNIE: Something wrong Andy?

 

ANDY: (Clearing his throat) No, umm… why would you think something’s wrong?

 

CONNIE: Because you’re staring.

 

ANDY: Sorry. (Looking through the menu once more) Do you know what you want?

 

CONNIE: (Pulling down on his menu) Andy, what’s up? Is something bothering you?

 

ANDY: I just… I… I don’t know. (Rubbing his forehead) Connie I got a confession to make.

 

CONNIE: (Slightly nervous) Okay… should I remind you of your rights or…

 

ANDY: What? (Realizing she’s pulling his chain he relaxes a little) Oh, funny. I wanted to talk to you about… umm… well about… (Exhaling) Connie I was wondering how this situation is working out for you.  You know, you and me, us.

 

CONNIE: What do you mean? I love being with you. (Looking worriedly to Andy) Is this not working for you Andy? Are you upset at all the time we’ve been spending together?

 

ANDY: No! No Connie far from it. I love spending time together, but I was wondering if maybe you were getting bored. I mean, I don’t know if maybe you like doing other things and you’re not saying. I just want to make sure I’m not holding you back from having fun or anything else.

 

CONNIE: Andy, where’s this coming from? Have I said or done anything to make you think I don’t want to be with you, because honestly that’s so not the case. (Slightly embarrassed) The truth is Andy I love being with you so much. I love when you Theo and me do things together, but I really enjoy this time alone too. I know I’m being real up front here but I can’t help it Andy, I want more and I was hoping you were starting to want more too… I mean this past week…

 

ANDY: (Covering her hand with his and waiting for her to look into his eyes) I do. I want more, very much, but I was … heck I was sure you and I weren’t on the same page. Are you sure about this Connie? I want you to be very sure about this because once we move forward there’ll be no turning back.

 

CONNIE: (Squeezing his hand tightly) I’m very sure Andy. I have never been so sure of anything as I am of this. I want more and I want it with you.

 

ANDY: (Smiling he places a light kiss on the back of her hand) That’s good, very good. So, forward it is.

 

They have a very nice, quiet dinner, talking about Theo and possible plans for the weekend. Around 8:15 Andy invites Connie back to his apartment to wait for Theo together. Arriving home Andy makes a pot of coffee but before they can get comfortable the doorbell rings announcing Theo’s arrival.

 

THEO: Connie! (He shouts and throws his arms around her as she answers the door)

 

ANN BAXTER: (Standing at the doorway seeing Andy walk up behind Connie) Goodnight Theo. Andy, Connie sorry I can’t chat but I’ve got some stuff to pick up at the grocery store before I head home.

 

ANDY: Thanks for everything Ann, see you at the game Friday.

 

CONNIE: Bye Ann, see you Friday.

 

ANDY: (Smiling at Connie as he closes the door) I guess you’re coming with me to Theo’s game huh?

 

CONNIE: (Laughing) Yeah, guess so. Thanks for inviting me.

 

THEO: Dad, Connie, guess what? Coach made me play goalie today and if I do real good at practice the rest of the week I get to play goalie at our next game! Cool, huh? I blocked two kicks Dad you shoulda seen me.

 

ANDY: Sorry I missed it Buddy. I bet you made a great goalie.

 

THEO: It was fun! I loved it!

 

ANDY: Did you finish all your homework Theo?

 

THEO: Yep.

 

ANDY: Okay then, bath time.

 

THEO: (To Connie) You’re not gonna leave yet, are you? I want you to stay and read to me a little. Please Connie?

 

CONNIE: I’ll be right here waiting for you when you get out. Promise.

 

ANDY: Come on Squirt get going. (To Connie) If you’ve got something else to do I can explain to Theo… you don’t have to stay.

 

CONNIE: Andy, It’s all right I can stay. Now go ahead and take care of Theo and I’ll pour us some coffee, okay?

 

ANDY: Okay. We shouldn’t be too long.

 

Connie watches as Andy and Theo walk into the bedroom then heads for the kitchen.  She can’t believe what a great night this turned out to be so far. Since the night they’d spent at the amusement park over a week ago, Andy hadn’t really said much about “them.”  They had spent several nights out and shared some very nice kisses, but nothing about their personal relationship, until tonight. It was about frickin’ time! 

 

Before pouring their coffee she makes a cup of hot chocolate for Theo and takes all three steaming mugs out to the living room. Theo rushes out of his room minutes later all clean and dressed for bed.

 

THEO: I’m done!

 

CONNIE: I can see that. I made you some hot chocolate it should be cool enough to drink now.

 

THEO: Cool! (Settling himself down beside Connie on the couch) Come sit here Dad.

 

ANDY: (To Connie) Thanks.

 

THEO: Connie, you’re coming to my game right? I want you to watch me play goalie. I just stand there most of the time but good goalies don’t let the other team score. That’s what coach says.

 

CONNIE: Of course I’m coming Sweetheart I wouldn’t miss watching my favorite guy play goalie.

 

ANDY: I’m going to make sure to come watch practice tomorrow so I can watch you Buddy.

 

THEO: Really? How ‘bout you Connie? Can you come with Daddy to watch me practice?

 

CONNIE: As long as I don’t get tied up at work I’ll be sure to come and watch… then maybe we can have a nice dinner afterwards, sound good? (Looking at Andy)

 

ANDY: It’s okay with me.

 

CONNIE: Good, that’s what we’ll do. Theo you know it’s getting late and all great soccer players need to get their sleep.

 

THEO: (Sighing loudly) Okay… but you promised to read to me.

 

CONNIE: (Winking at Andy as she follows Theo into his room) Yep I sure did.

 

Andy smiles at Connie as she and Theo head to the bedroom. So many thoughts run through his head, all of Connie and his good fortune. I can’t believe she didn’t run for the hills tonight. She actually wants us to be together as much as I do. Stop it Sipowicz! Stop trying to make sense of something that is far from sensible, just enjoy this and don’t blow it!

 

Laughing at himself he takes their mugs to the kitchen to wash them, still caught up in his thoughts of Connie he doesn’t hear her come up beside him.

 

CONNIE: He was out before I finished the second page. Andy? Did you hear me?

 

ANDY: (Startled out of his daze) Huh? Sorry, I didn’t hear you.

 

CONNIE: (Stroking his arm) What were you thinking about? It looked pretty intense.

 

ANDY: (Drying his hands with a dishrag) Actually I was thinking about the stock market. (He teases)

 

CONNIE: Darn, I thought you’d be thinking about me.

 

ANDY: (Grabbing both of her hands in his and looking into her eyes) Last chance to run Connie. It’s not just me you’re getting involved with its Theo too and I can’t afford to let him get hurt.

 

CONNIE: (Pulling in closer to Andy) I’m not running Andy. I’m here to stay. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I started falling for you and I have no intention of doing anything to hurt Theo ever… or you either for that matter.

 

ANDY: (Stroking her cheek) I’d eat my gun before I’d ever hurt you Connie, just so you know.

 

Andy slowly lowers his head to capture her lips with his, kissing her lightly, tasting her. Pulling back he looks deep into her eyes and sees the desire he feels mirrored there, before he can talk himself out of it he leans down and pulls her in for a deeper, more passionate kiss. This kiss was an all out assault on their senses. His tongue plunges between her lips exploring her mouth searching, tasting and feeling. It takes a whole lot of self-control for him to end their kiss, but he does, burying his head in her hair fighting for his sanity.

 

CONNIE: (Trying to catch her breath) Wow! I always knew you had that kind of passion in you Andy, but I’d just about given up figuring out when I’d get to feel it.  (Running her hands over his chest) I guess I better go now before things get, umm, out of hand.

 

ANDY: (His hand stroking her back, he looks into her eyes) Yeah, guess so.

 

CONNIE: (Not wanting to be the first to pull back) But I wouldn’t mind staying like this for a while, if that’s okay with you.

 

ANDY: That’s great for me but the way you make me feel Connie, I guarantee there is only one way this will all end and with Theo in the next room that’s not a smart move. (Reluctantly pulling back from her) As much as it pains me to say this, I think now would be a good time for you to go.

 

CONNIE: (Kissing him lightly and hugging him tight once more) You’re right. (Grabbing her purse and walking to the door) See you tomorrow Andy, goodnight.

 

ANDY: Goodnight. Drive carefully. Could you call me when you get home? Just so I know you got there okay.

 

CONNIE: Sure.

 

Watching her walk down the stairs Andy only goes back into his apartment when he can’t see her anymore. What a woman, he thinks to himself. He rubs the back of his neck and looks around the room. He’s all wired now and sleep is the last thing on his mind. Deciding he has time for a quick shower before Connie’s call he goes into the bathroom.

 

Connie is just as wired. The drive to her apartment is very uneventful and she spends the whole time thinking about Andy and that amazing kiss. She has seen the passion Andy has for his work and the passion he has put into raising his son but that kiss, unbelievable. And that was just a kiss she thinks, okay a great, mind blowing kiss, but just a kiss. Jesus Connie get a hold of yourself, you’re starting to let sexual frustration mess with your head. As she arrives to her apartment she starts laughing at herself as she tries to remember when the last time was that she got this worked up over a kiss, or if she had ever gotten this worked up before. Entering her apartment she changes and gets ready for bed before calling Andy.

 

CONNIE: (Laying back in bed as she places her call) Hey, I’m home.

 

ANDY: Everything okay?

 

CONNIE: Fine, just thinking about you.

 

ANDY: Me too, so I guess I’ll see you in the morning. Night Connie.

 

CONNIE: Night Andy, see you in the morning. Andy thanks for a great night.

 

ANDY: It’s only the first of many Connie, I promise. Night.

 

 

The next day turns out to be very busy for the detectives. Everyone is in and out all day working their cases and Andy and Connie haven’t had a minute to talk. Andy and Jr. make it back to the squad late in the afternoon and PAA John hands him several messages from Ann Baxter, worrying that something might be wrong with Theo he calls her right away.

 

ANDY: (Sounding a little worried) Hey Ann, it’s me Andy everything okay with Theo?

 

ANN BAXTER: Hi Andy, no Theo’s fine I was calling because of a little scheduling problem I have.

 

ANDY: Okay, what do you need me to help you with?

 

ANN BAXTER: Well, Gregory’s birthday party was scheduled for later this month but I have to go out of town, to make it up to him I was hoping to get a couple of his friends together and have a sleepover this weekend. I know this is last minute Andy and I totally understand if Theo can’t make it but he is Gregory’s best friend and it wouldn’t be the same without him.

 

ANDY: Ann it’ll be fine, we didn’t have any plans anyway and I know he wouldn’t want to miss it. When do you want him there?

 

ANN BAXTER: Well, I was thinking I’d take him right after the game Friday and have him home by dinner Sunday if that’s all right?

 

ANDY: That’s fine but would you do me a favor and not tell him ‘til Friday or he’ll have me pulling out the rest of my hair.

 

ANN BAXTER: (Laughing) I totally agree! I’m not going to say anything to Gregory either it’ll be a surprise for all of them. Thanks so much Andy, I really appreciate this.

 

ANDY: Do you need me to help with anything?

 

ANN BAXTER: Nope I’ve got it covered all I need is Theo. Thanks again, see you Friday.

 

ANDY: See you Friday.

 

As Andy ends his call, Connie and Rita walk into the squad room looking very tired. Connie smiles at him as they walk straight into the Lt.’s office.

 

Andy realizes this is it, the opportunity to actually spend a whole weekend alone with Connie. Smiling he makes a mental list of some plans he needs to make for their romantic weekend. PAA John returns from Anti-Crime with some mug shots for Andy and Jr. to review for their case.

 

Thursday goes by pretty much the same and by Friday the only thing on everyone’s mind is getting home and enjoying their much-deserved weekend.

 

Andy had arranged to pick Connie up for Theo’s game and when he knocks at her door early Connie is still getting dressed.

 

CONNIE: Hey, I’m just about ready.

 

ANDY: No rush, Ann’s taking Theo over to the field so I just came straight here. (Before Connie can rush off) So anyway I’ve got some plans for this weekend if you’re up to it… kind of a surprise.

 

CONNIE: A surprise huh? Okay what do I need to do?

 

ANDY: Just pack a bag for the weekend. Comfortable clothes, nothing fancy.

 

CONNIE: (Looking at him suspiciously) Sounds very mysterious Andy. Can you at least give me a clue where we’re going?

 

ANDY: Nope, but I promise it’ll be a weekend to remember. You trust me don’t you?

 

CONNIE: Of course I do. (Seeing the stubborn look in his eyes she gives up) Okay, I’ll be right back. (Asking as she walks away) Does Theo know where we’re going?

 

ANDY: No so you can’t get any hints from him. (Smiling as he sits on the couch to wait)

 

After Theo’s game Ann, Andy and Connie wait for the boys by Ann’s van.

 

ANN BAXTER: So what do you two have planned for the weekend?

 

ANDY: (Answering quickly) Nothing much, just hanging out. You sure you don’t need our help with anything. You’re taking on quite a task. (Noticing the confused look on Connie’s face) I’d be happy to help.

 

ANN BAXTER: No really everything’s taken care of and I’ll have plenty of help. Dad and Grandma are pitching in so I won’t be flying solo. Thanks though.

 

The boys run up to them full of energy and demanding to be fed.

 

THEO: Daddy can we get something to eat I’m starving!

 

ANDY: (Pulling Theo aside) Hey Buddy I’ve got a surprise for you. You’re going to spend the weekend at Gregory’s for his birthday sleepover. Is that okay with you?

 

THEO: (Excited) Really Daddy? The whole weekend, cool! Does Gregory know?

 

At that moment Gregory runs over to Theo screaming excitedly. The boys jump around happily and Andy smiles as he watches them.

 

CONNIE: (Starting to get an idea of Andy’s plans) So Andy, am I going to Gregory’s for this sleepover too? I mean I’m packed and all.

 

ANDY: (Whispering) No Connie I was hoping you’d come spend the weekend with me seeing as I’m going to be all alone.  (Noticing the glimmer of excitement in her eyes he teases) But I guess you probably don’t want to since I wasn’t totally honest with you about my plans. I understand if you just want me to take you home.

 

CONNIE: No, no since you went to all the trouble of arranging this little adventure, I have no choice but to go along with it… but just so you know Sipowicz, I intend to make sure we make the most of this entire weekend.

 

ANDY: I hope so McDowell I truly hope so.

 

ANN BAXTER: (To Connie and Andy) We’re heading out now before these guys melt away from hunger.

 

ANDY: You have all my numbers in case you need to get a hold of me.

 

ANN BAXTER: Have a great weekend you two. See you Sunday.

 

They say their goodbyes to Theo and slowly make their way to the car.

 

CONNIE: So Andy this is your show, what now? I just hope that whatever you have planned includes dinner ‘cuz I’m starving.

 

ANDY: (Smiling) I guess I’ll have to feed you then. Come on, our weekend is about to begin.

 

CONNIE: I like this sneaky side of you Andy it’s cute.

 

ANDY: Yeah that’s me cute.

 

The drive back to Andy’s apartment is spent talking about Theo’s game and his debut as goalie. When they reach the front door Andy has Connie wait outside while he goes in first, after only a minute he opens the door and picking up her bag invites her in.

 

Walking into the living room Connie stops dead in her tracks, speechless as she sees the scene before her.  All the furniture has been moved back except for the coffee table set up in the center of the room. There are throw pillows all around the floor and on the table is an assortment of food surrounding a beautiful centerpiece of flowers and candles.

 

CONNIE: Andy this is beautiful. When did you do all this? How could you have done all this?

 

ANDY: Magic. (Taking her hand he pulls her behind him and settles them on the pillows) You said you were hungry let’s eat.

 

It was a beautiful spread and it was obvious Andy had gone all out to make this a very special meal. Seared tuna appetizers served on fresh greens with a tasty sesame dressing and grilled chicken with seasoned young red potatoes along with Parmesan baked asparagus for their main course. Dessert was an array of fresh fruits, tiny cakes and tarts with whipped cream.

 

CONNIE: (After eating her fill she stretches out on the pillows) I’m stuffed. The food was delicious Andy, are you going to tell me where all this came from?

 

ANDY: Maybe, someday if you’re really nice to me. You didn’t have any dessert yet.

 

CONNIE: Maybe later.

 

ANDY: I didn’t really have anything else planned for tonight other than dinner so the rest of the night is in your hands.

 

CONNIE: (Sliding closer to Andy) We can watch some TV if you’d like or maybe we could go for a walk. (Taking his hand in hers) Unless there’s something else you can think of.

 

ANDY: (Looking at their clasped hands nervously) You know I had this whole seduction thing planned out in my head and now that you’re here in front of me… I’m worried I won’t be able to hold up my end.

 

CONNIE: (Just as nervous) How about we just take this one step at a time. (Pushing up on his chin to look into his eyes as she kisses him lightly) One kiss at a time. (Stroking his cheek) One touch at a time.

 

ANDY: (Cupping her cheek in his hand) Connie I want to make love with you so much I ache. If you have any doubts… say so now.

 

CONNIE: (Standing up and pulling Andy to his feet, she walks into the bedroom. By the foot of the bed she gently pushes him down onto the edge and stands between his open thighs) I have absolutely no doubts about this Andy. Do you?

 

ANDY: Nope, not a one.

 

Looking up into her beautiful blue eyes Andy runs his fingers down the side of her face and over her slightly parted lips. His other hand pushes through her hair and he smiles as she lowers her mouth to his. He crushes her to him caught up in the need to feel her body up against his. He takes total control of her mouth, his tongue thrusting deeply encouraged by the tightening of her arms around him and her moans of pleasure.

 

Connie’s body feels totally alive and on fire. She feels an intense heat surging through her body with a deep aching need. Her head is spinning, her legs are weak and she is quickly becoming hopelessly addicted to the very distinct and arousing smell and taste of Andy.

 

On a groan Andy ends the kiss and pulls back slightly. With eager hands he pulls up on her shirt admiring the parts of her body laid bare to him as he quickly pushes it up over her head and off. Expert fingers unclasp her lacy bra and his breath catches slightly at the sight of her hard rosy pink nipples.

 

ANDY: (Looking into her eyes) You are so beautiful Connie, so damned beautiful. I want you so much… I want to make this a night to remember.

 

CONNIE: (Kissing the top of his head and running her hands over his shoulders) It already is Andy. I’ve wanted this… wanted you for so long.

 

When Andy pulled one of her nipples into his mouth she gasps and pulls his head into her chest. His hand reaches up to play with her other breast, pinching the nipple and massaging until Connie feels light headed from the sensation. She hears moaning and is unsure who it’s coming from. As he turns his attention to her other breast she feels a cold thrill as the cool air hits her wet nipple. She can’t seem to keep still. She wants to touch his bare skin. She needs to touch him, to drive him as mad as he’s driving her. While these thoughts are rushing through her head she feels Andy’s hands reaching between her legs pushing them apart. Suddenly her thighs spread wide she finds herself being lifted onto his lap with the heat of his erection pressed firmly into her most sensitive spot. Lost to her unbearable need for him she grinds her pelvis into his making them both crazy.

 

CONNIE: Feels like you’ll be able to hold up your end just fine Andy. (She teases)

 

ANDY: Damnit Connie you’ve gotta stop that! (He curses into her neck struggling for control) I’m barely hanging on here and if you keep that up this is gonna be over a lot sooner than I planned.

 

CONNIE: I don’t give a damn right now Andy, you’re driving me crazy. (She catches his earlobe between her teeth nipping lightly. Reaching between them she pulls up on his shirt with difficulty because it’s still tucked into his pants) Would you please help me get this off? I want to feel you.

 

ANDY: All right but I’m telling you now I don’t look anywhere near as good as you do. (He mumbles as he pulls his shirt off. The second her breasts make contact with his chest he loses all coherent thought. Andy buries his face in her neck sucking and licking, loving the taste of her) You taste so good. (Moving his head lower on her chest he doesn’t even notice the little marks he’s leaving behind)

 

Connie pushes Andy down until he’s lying on the bed then she stretches out on top of him. Kissing his lips briefly, she begins her trip south. Pausing a moment to kiss each nipple to taut attention she stops at his waist to unbuckle his belt. She watches the changes in Andy’s face as she unbuttons his pants and slowly slides his zipper open making sure he feels her hand as it rubs against every inch of his hot erection. His breathing quickens when she begins caressing him through the material of his boxers. After a moment she starts tugging on his pants and boxers until Andy lifts his bottom to help her pull them down his legs and off. Grabbing his penis in her hand she begins stroking him slowly, setting a rhythm and feeling him grow unbelievably harder with each stroke. She sees Andy watching her, loving the fact that she’s giving him such pleasure. Leaning down she licks at the smooth tip of his penis and smiles as Andy groans and falls back, lost. Opening her lips she gently sucks him into her mouth relishing the musky, totally male scent of him. She takes him in as deep as she can allowing her tongue to savor every inch, then pulls back setting her rhythm, overcome with a desperate urge to please this man and mark him as her own.

 

Many, many minutes later Andy can’t handle the torture of her hot delicious mouth any longer. Reaching down he pulls her hair gently but firmly getting her attention.

 

ANDY: (Pulling her up as he sits up) No more Connie. It’s my turn.

 

CONNIE: (Sexily) You didn’t like it?

 

ANDY:  I love it! (Unbuckling her belt and quickly opening her jeans) But I think you need some attention too.

 

Andy pulls off her jeans and her lacy panties before pushing her down onto the bed. She is gorgeous and he is still finding it hard to believe she is his for the taking. Spreading her legs he settles himself between her open thighs and leans down to kiss her. A hungry, passionate, possessive kiss. His tongue dives deep into her mouth exploring each and every crevice tasting and teasing. Slowly he pulls back and begins licking and nibbling his way down her body. Cupping her breasts in his hands he takes turns sucking each nipple into the heat of his mouth loving the feel of her soft tender flesh.

 

“Andy, oh God… I need you… please…” Connie groans out as she writhes beneath him. Andy begins his quest again determined to find the heat… the heart… of her. Finally reaching his goal he leans back enough to push her thighs up and back, laying her wide open for his pleasure. Or better yet her pleasure he thinks to himself with a smug smile. Sliding a hand under her bottom, he grasps her cheek firmly holding her as his other hand opens her for the first stroke of his tongue. The first contact with her clit had her pushing up into his face and crying out from sheer pleasure. She tastes wonderfully sweet to him, and he continues the assault on her clit with his swirling tongue. Then using his fingers, he opens her lips wider and pushes his tongue inside her. She screams as she grabs his head to hold him where she wants him. He loves it! He wasn’t planning on going anywhere anyway except to heaven maybe. Testing her, he wants to know if she likes the soft light flicks or the hard firm strokes of his tongue. Judging by the way she was grinding her pelvis into his mouth and the volume of her gasps she liked them all. He felt and tasted her orgasm as it hit. She tightened her thighs around his head and cried out as her body shook from her climax. It was several moments before he felt her thighs relax and her hands release his head as she tried to recover. Unable to resist the temptation he kisses her inner thigh sucking the tender flesh between his teeth marking her. The ache in his groin is growing more painful. He needs to be inside her, now. Pulling himself up he slides back up making sure to keep their body contact, then he kisses her. A brief kiss of lips and tongues before calling her name, “Connie.”

 

Opening her eyes she looks up into his and sees the quiet plea there. She can taste herself on his lips and tongue and it sends a shiver through her. She wraps her thighs around his waist as he drives himself deep into her tight hot sheath. Buried deep inside of her he stops and they can both feel his shaft pulse and throb. Andy closes his eyes, wanting to draw this out but he is so close to the edge, his control hanging by a thread. Slowly he sets the rhythm. Deep smooth strokes growing steadily stronger stretching out the sensation and the tension. Connie is caught up again in the ride of passion clawing at his back and his butt wanting to crawl right into his skin needing to be closer. She grinds her hips into his, opening herself more to his thrusts driving him even deeper into her with total abandon.  And then it started happening again, the shuddering, earth shattering waves of sensation as she felt herself coming again. The contractions of her body seize his shaft but he continues to pound into her thrust for thrust while she attempts to milk the life out of him. She buries her face in his neck muffling her screams of satisfaction.

 

Andy feels her orgasm engulf her and the squeezing heat of her body convulsing all over him sends him over the edge seconds later. It’s like an electrical charge surging through him as he hammers himself into her in a mind-blowing climax.

 

They are both totally exhausted and unable to move. Turning his upper body slightly, he lies down beside her their bodies still joined, neither of them wanting to break that contact. Connie turns her head slightly to kiss his cheek and to bring his arm tighter around her chest. It is a comfortable silence as they begin stroking and touching, familiarizing themselves with each other.

 

After lying like that for a while Andy feels Connie shiver slightly as the air-conditioner kicks on blowing cool air over their still heated and sweaty skin.

 

ANDY: (Making to move) You’re cold, let’s get you covered up.

 

CONNIE: (Hugging him close not wanting to lose contact) No, I’m fine. Just hold me and I bet I’ll warm up fast.

 

ANDY: (Teasing) That right? Well I got no problem holding you as long as you want. But I warn you you’re legs are gonna start complaining real soon about all this dead weight you got piled on you.

 

Connie thinks how incredibly cute he is when he is teasing her like this. She loves how comfortable they are together and how easily they can talk with each other.  Neither of them felt any hesitation in sharing their feelings and that made them good friends, and now great lovers.

 

ANDY: Hey, what were you thinking? You had this silly look on your face, what was that about?

 

CONNIE: (Rubbing his chest) I was just thinking how good we are together. (Kissing his chin) I knew this would be good Andy, but this… this was great.

 

ANDY: (Kissing her forehead) Yeah huh? Well I think I had great inspiration. You bring out the best in me.

 

CONNIE: I think we bring out the best in each other. (Stroking his cheek) So Andy, why did we wait so long? Look at all the time we wasted when we could have been doing this.

 

ANDY: Well, all good things are worth waiting for right? Besides, now we know we’re pretty good together nothing’s gonna stop us.

 

CONNIE: I’ll hold you to that, and I won’t hesitate to remind you whenever you set up roadblocks Andy.

 

ANDY: Deal.

 

CONNIE: I’m kinda hungry again, how ‘bout you?

 

ANDY: (Pulling himself back over her and kissing her cheek then her ear) Depends on what you’re hungry for?

 

CONNIE: (Stroking his back and sides) Food first, then more loving… a lot more. Come on.

 

Andy reluctantly rolls off of her and watches with admiration as she reaches for his discarded shirt and pulls it over her head. Sitting up he looks around for his boxers and finding them he pulls them on as he follows her out to the living room. Pulling out a couple of pillows he stretches out behind her watching her eat.

 

ANDY: (Looking at the clock with renewed energy) Hey you up for a little adventure?

 

CONNIE: What do you have in mind?

 

ANDY: A surprise, you up for it?

 

CONNIE: Okay but I need to grab a shower first. I did work up quite a sweat tonight.

 

ANDY: You sure did. (Smiling) Go ahead I just need to make a quick phone call.

 

CONNIE: (Looking at him) You are being very mysterious Andy. (Kissing him lightly) I really like this side of you.

 

ANDY: (Slapping her behind as she walks into the bedroom) By the time this weekend is over Connie you’re going to love me.

 

Andy makes his call letting his friend know they would be there in about an hour. Once everything is set he heads into the bedroom. Connie had left the bathroom door ajar and he couldn’t help looking in. Her silhouette through the shower curtain sends a thrill through him. You don’t have time for this Sipowicz. What the hell, he thinks, no harm in fooling around a little.

 

Very quietly he enters into the shower behind her. She is so beautiful. Her delicious neck, smooth back and firm behind leading to those wonderfully strong sexy legs. Reaching out he strokes her back spreading the soap bubbles all over.

 

“Hmm, that feels good. Don’t stop.” She mutters. Turning around she raises her arms around his neck and kisses him fully on the lips. Andy quickly tells her before things get too far out of hand. “We have to be somewhere in less than an hour Connie.  But I promise we are far from done tonight so you hold that thought.”

 

Sighing with slight frustration Connie turns back into the spray of water and rinses off as he starts soaping himself.

 

40 minutes later Connie is still trying to find out where they’re headed. Andy pulls up to the curb outside the Empire State Building and hands a security guard the keys after getting out.

 

GUARD: You Sipowicz?

 

ANDY: Yep. Everything all set?

 

GUARD: Yes sir. Rudy said for you to take the employee’s elevator all the way to the top. He’ll meet you there. (Pointing to some side doors and handing him a key) Through there.

 

ANDY: Thanks. (Reaching into his pocket for some money)

 

GUARD: No sir, keep it. Any friend of Rudy’s… and all that, don’t worry about it. (Looking to Connie and smiling) You two have fun.

 

ANDY: Thanks again.

 

CONNIE: (Grabbing Andy’s arm and holding tight) What’s going on Andy? What did you do now?

 

ANDY: You’ll see.

 

They enter the building through the side doors and walk down a narrow hallway to a set of elevators. Putting in the key the doors open and Andy presses the proper button. Connie looks at him in eager expectation and he leans down to kiss her. He loves that he can do things like this for her. Never being one for romantic gestures and such, he finds these little surprises are just as much fun for him. The elevator doors open onto a small lobby and there another security guard meets them.

 

RUDY: (Smiling as he approaches Andy) Andy good to see you. You look good Buddy, loss a little weight I see.

 

ANDY: (Shaking his hand) Rudy, good to see you too. Thanks again for helping me out here.

 

RUDY: Andy, I’m happy to help out my good friends. Anytime. And who is this pretty lady you have with you?

 

ANDY: Rudy Miller, Connie McDowell. (To Connie) Rudy retired off the force a while back.

 

RUDY: Yep 27 years in uniform, and you Connie, what do you do for a living?

 

CONNIE: (Smiling at Rudy’s charm) I’m a Detective.

 

RUDY: (Chuckling) Well… if they had detectives as pretty as you when I was on the force, I would have bucked for that gold shield for sure. Good to meet you. (Teasing) If you get tired of hanging around this guy you let me know and I’ll be at your doorstep.

 

CONNIE: (Teasing back) If this don’t work out Rudy, I’ll be at your doorstep.

 

RUDY: (Laughing out loud) Deal! (To Andy he winks) Watch yourself with this one Andy. Okay folks follow me.

 

Rudy leads them through a short hallway and then out large glass doors into the cool New York night and a spectacular view of the city.

 

RUDY: (Pulling Andy aside and whispering) Anything you need you let me know Andy. (To Connie) Enjoy!

 

ANDY: (Sliding his arms around her waist from behind and hugging her tight) Well Connie, welcome to the top of our world. You and me here… all that. (Gesturing to the view) I can’t imagine anything better than this.

 

CONNIE: (Turning she wraps her arms around him tight and looks deep into his eyes) You’re absolutely right. Being here with you… in your arms… there is nothing or no place better. I love you Andy. I know you, and in your head you think I’m crazy and that one day I’m gonna just walk out of your life, but you’re wrong. I’m going to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to make you believe this is for real and forever. I lost my heart to you a long time ago. You are my best friend, and now you’re my best lover… you’re just my everything Andy. You take my breath away.

 

ANDY: (Hugging her tighter) I didn’t think I’d feel these feelings again Connie. I pretty much told myself that I would be happy just raising Theo alone, then you came along and you became a good friend who I could be myself with. I can talk to you about anything and whether you understand or not, you never judge me. I miss you when you’re not around and when we’re together I don’t ever want to be apart. I don’t know what tomorrow holds for me but as long as I got you I can handle anything.

 

CONNIE: (With mock seriousness) You lied to me Andy.

 

ANDY: (Frowning) What do ya’ mean?

 

CONNIE: You told me that you weren’t the romantic type and that you weren’t good with words. But tonight has been the most romantic night of my whole life and you have just said the most beautiful words I’ve ever heard.

 

ANDY: I’m just being honest is all. This night wasn’t just about being alone and making love Connie. This night is about moving forward… hopefully building a future together. I can’t promise trips to the top of the world all the time or the candle light and romance every night, but I can promise to be honest with you about everything and I’ll be there by your side through whatever life brings us good or bad, I swear.

 

CONNIE: I promise that too Andy. I’ll be here by your side through anything and everything, I swear. I think this is the beginning of an amazing trip Andy, and I’m glad we’re going on it together.

 

ANDY: (Kissing her forehead and hugging her tight as they look out at the city lights) Me too Connie, me too.
