For fuckin_rope...

[From Here]

At her doorstep, she chucked a twenty at the driver and practically pulled Conner from the backseat of the cab and onto her porch. Fumbling for her keys, it took what felt like way too long to unlock her door before she was able to yank him inside.

Dropping her coat on the table in the hall, she let her purse follow, then unclipped her service weapon and set it high in the closet. "Regulation," she murmured.

Her badge was still clipped to her waist, but she wasn't worried about it at the moment. At the moment, she was worried about Connor's hands and their relation to her body.

She's gotta get out of his grasp and manages to do just that by sliding to the side and pulling the sheet with her. "Connor, you gotta keep your hands to yourself. If you don't, we're just gonna end up against a wall or in the backseat of my car."

It's meant to sound like a complaint, but falls a little flat.

He makes a slight groan of protest and drags his hands through his hair, ruffling the already spiky cut into an unbelievable case of bed head and sex hair. Pulling downwards on his cheeks he glances around the room, and spots his pants.
Taking a glance at her he begrudgingly leaves the bed and gives her quite the view as he pulls them on-his back to her as he finds himself at a loss to where his shirt went.
Turning back around he rocks on his bare feet.

Two can play that game and she drops the sheet as she gets out of bed and walks naked across the bedroom, shaking long red hair over her shoulders as she grabs a white blouse out of the closet to go with the light gray slacks hanging on the chair in the room.

An innocent smile graces her lips as she ducks into the master bathroom and there she finishes getting dressed before exiting back into the bedroom, hoping he's found the rest of his clothes.

Connor was still looking for his shirt, shoes in hand, rosary dangling on his neck, and socks on his feet-but still increasingly shirtless and trying not to think about what a damned goddess she looked like walking but ass naked around the apartment.

Claire reaches behind the headboard and lifts his shirt, tossing it to him with a wink before she bends down and grabs her shoes, slipping her feet into them. Her badge goes onto her waistband and she smiles up at him as she pins her hair up.

"You're like a fuckin' woman, getting ready in the morning, Connor." She's teasing. "I got this case that's driving me batty, though, and I should have been in right about now. I'm gonna have to pick up my car later. Mike's gonna give me so much shit for this..." And then she mutters, "Fuckin' Saints."

Connor stops mid way as he was pulling his shirt on, making him look like some hilarious version of a human turtle.
Shaking his head he finishes pulling it back on and hops around as he pulls on a shoe. "Ye say yer investigatin the Saints?"

She finishes putting up her hair and nods, watching as he struggles with his shirt. "It's why they brought me back. Boston PD was lookin' for people familiar with the town. VBPD offered me up and I came home."

Claire shakes her head. "Couple of fly-by-night vigilantes doing what they think is right for the city." She sighs.

"An what do ye think of 'em?"

"Think?" She leans back on the bed, wasting time she doesn't have, to give him a contemplative look. "Orders are to arrest on sight."

A moment passes and she sits up again, reaching for her keys and heading for the hall closet, calling over her shoulder. "I don't know, Con. It's not that simple, nothing ever is, you know? What about you? What do ya think of 'em?"

"There doin good, puttin bad men to their graves t' be judged and protectin those they'd be terrorizing on the streets. They keep the peace, even if it's through the mean a' killin."

"That still makes 'em murderers," she pointed out. Her gun and holster went to her hip, too, and she motioned to the front door. "Let's go, MacManus."

"Murderin with a purpose."

"Murder is still murder and I'm still a homicide detective. Come across enough people with guns in a day," she tells him with a smile. "Shouldn't be too hard to find two more wackos. Right?"

Connor makes a face behind her back, one that quite honestly resembles a pout.
"Aye. Now let's get a move on before Murph comes lookin for me ass."

"You go home. I gotta get to the precinct before Sinclair comes lookin' for me. And the last thing I need is to catch hell for bein' with YOU." She gives him another long look up and down, pauses, then leans over and gives him a quick kiss. "Bye."

A small smile, and she even blushes, as she hails a cab.
