Summary
“Wait, this is the house that the domestic call is about?” Penn asks, his voice sounding more and more terrified with every word.
Nolan seems to recognize it now, too. “Wait, don’t—!”
It’s too late. Jan’s already pounded on the door. He looks back at the other men. Nolan’s closed his eyes, dreading what’s about to come. Penn’s eyes are blown wide, his mouth slightly open in horror, staring at the door. Smitty’s just as clueless as ever, tapping his foot impatiently.
For a second, Jan is worried, his hand settling against his gun. But, oddly enough, the men don’t act as if they’re in any danger, despite them looking like they’re about to face a feral animal.
The door swings open, and Jan braces.
“What the hell are you doing here?!” barks—
Sergeant Bradford?
Jan blinks.

Summary
Lucy takes the tutoring assignment because she doesn’t want to be in her house for even a second longer than she has to. She wants to get the fuck away from her parents and the yelling and the shame and the little box of razors she keeps in the far corner of her top drawer.
She has no idea, when she accepts the extra credit, that it’s going to change her entire fucking life.
“He can be… grumpy,” her English Lit teacher says, and Lucy winces where she’s standing in the doorway, her books clasped to her chest and her heavy backpack weighing her down.
“So he’s an asshole?”
Luna smiles at her and chuckles softly as she shakes her head.
“No, he’s a good boy deep down. He’s … like a burnt marshmallow, really. All crispy and rough on the outside, but inside he’s just gooey and sweet.”

Summary
“Things are a little complicated with your daddy right now,” she whispers, her thumb brushing over her warm skin. “But we’re gonna figure it out. We have to. For you.”
She imagines all of the milestones — the doctor’s appointments, finding out her pants don’t fit anymore, feeling their baby kick, the baby’s birth — and she’s so fucking uninterested in doing it alone that she fumbles for her phone, firing a quick text off to Tim before laying down.

Summary
“That was … god, that was beautiful.”
Tim hums in agreement, watching as Dom and sub hold each other in the aftermath of their public scene. He then turns around, and his eyes widen and his breath catches in his throat as he realizes who is standing next to him, speaking to him.
God, but she’s breathtaking.
“Y-yeah, it was,” he stammers, and he feels like he can barely breathe as he watches her. “The aftercare… it’s one of my favorite parts.”
The woman nods, and Tim watches out of the corner of his eye as she wraps her arms around her chest. Her eyes are downcast and her fingers shake a little as she tucks them into her underarms, and Tim frowns because even after scening, a sub shouldn’t be shaking the way she is.
“Are you alright?” he asks, and she nods as she bites her lip and glances up at him.
OR
Tim is a BDSM club owner and Lucy is a sub with a bad Dom. The universe brings them together, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Summary
In hindsight, Lucy isn’t entirely sure how it begins.
All she knows is that it’s Friday night and she’s sitting at a table with Tim, a bottle of whiskey between them, and a paper and pen on the table.
“Hard limits?” Tim asks, and Lucy bites her lip as she thinks. She’s tempted to say ‘none’, but she had been blissfully unaware of all the possible sexual acts that could come out in a Dominate and Submissive relationship until Tim had told her to do her research, and then meet him for dinner on Friday to talk about it in a tone that booked no argument and also turned her on so quickly that her vision blurred.
That had been two days ago, and she has barely slept since then, because every bit of research she does causes her brain to short circuit when she considers it in relation to Tim.

Summary
"Unless it is?" She must have some kind of short circuit in her brain. Because she hears his words. They reach her ear. And are sent on from there to her brain. In a fraction of a hundredth. But something must be going wrong with the processing. "Unless it is?" That would mean ... no he couldn't have said that. "Unless it is?" That look. Those steel blue eyes. The question she sees in them. Has he blinked at all in the last few seconds? Lucy say something. And she tries to think. But she can't think. Because her brain has a lapse. Not one of those blackouts you might have in an exam. "Unless it is?" No, it's not a blackout. Say something, Lucy. But she can't say anything. Because her brain has obviously switched to stand-by mode. Because it would mean ... no it can't be. "Unless it is?"
OR
A story about Lucy and Tim's secret dating era. The entire story includes what we see in the series and what happens in between. The evolution of feelings from that nervous question about a first date to the mutual trust that we see just a few episodes later.
