drop milk and a pat.”
“He would probably have made a hat out of it or something.”
“I suppose I’ll have to tell the SIO that we’ll have to search the house again.”
“Yup, you let it go ya big fanny!”

Kay walked into the incident room, her hands filled with papers, her cheeks flushed with colour as she saw Taylor sitting behind her desk in animated conversation with Marcus. Taylor looked up and spotted Kay at the far side of the room just outside the Inspector’s office; she felt a pleasurable warmth flow through her, very unexpected from just a glance. Kay disappeared intothe office. Taylor could only imagine her boss’s thoughts as Kay leant over to place the papers onto his desk, his leery gaze as he caught a glimpse of her breasts from between the gap of her blouse. Kay was a truly striking and very pretty woman with sleek features, high cheekbones, full lips and an athletic poise. What Taylor was feeling was a hint of jealousy; she wanted to be alone with Kay in the office, not have to share her with many, and especially not that fat prick. Marcus looked at Taylor, and noticed her attention to him had wavered and her thoughts had drifted elsewhere. He followed her line of sight, her gaze focused on Kay as she left the office and then into the incident room.
He looked at Taylor, his eyebrow raised, and asked, “Why are you so interested in her? She’s very straight and just come out of a long term relationship with Tom!”
“I know, but even you’ve got to admit it, she’s lovely, stunning?”
“Very beautiful indeed, but not for me, I have my own treasures at home, you should try it, sometimes one person can fulfil all of your needs you know!”
“Oh really!” Taylor got up from her chair and said that she’d be back in a minute, and left the room; she felt he was on to her and wasn’t ready to reveal the truth and didn’t want her eyes to give it away.
She moved quickly to the exit and disappeared from sight. Climbing the stairs three at once, she was just in time to see Kay three floors up and called out to her.
“Kay, hold on a minute, wait there!”
Kay stopped and Taylor reached her in the empty corridor and grabbed her playfully round the waist. She pulled her towards her, kissing her boldly where they stood, a deep lust-filled kiss, passionate and full on.
Kay momentarily responded to the sensation of unadulterated desire, willing Taylor to continue, but she stopped, realising where they were, and pulled away, whispering, “Discreet? If this is discreet I’d hate to see what the opposite would be!”
Taylor stepped back, her neck flushed with their feverish kiss. “I want you, you’re so god damn sexy. When I saw you go into that sleaze ball’s office, I may have even been a little jealous, and I couldn’t wait another second to hold you and kiss you. God I want you Kay,” and she motioned to kiss her again.
Kay let Taylor’s lips touch hers, slightly opening her mouth,and then pulled back and asked, “What do you want from me Taylor? The other night was wonderful, an eye opener, but what am I to you, another conquest? I’m not someone you can pick up and put down when it suits you, I’m not going to be that type of lady for you, lovely though you are!”
Taylor, being her usual casual self, hesitated with her answer, which was enough to let Kay know where she stood and she turned and walked away; the silent answer she expected. She turned into an office, which Taylor knew would not be empty and to follow her would be futile right now. Taylor slumped against the wall, a crushing feeling now deep in her heart, an unexpected feeling of loss.
“What an asshole I am. She is so right. What was she to me,? What is she to me? I don’t even know myself.”
Taylor walked back down the steps and into the office. Marcus looked up at her and couldn’t help but notice that her neck was red and a hint of disappointment was visible in her eyes.
“What’s up
