[hereditare]

Esposito: [which he will notice when he answers the door. He got home and did the fastest "clean up the place ASAP" job he's ever done] Hey, come in.

Laura: [grins as she makes her way in bag in her hand] I figured you'd have beer, so I passed on drinks?

Esposito: Of course I have beer. What kind of bachelor doesn't have beer in his fridge? [closes the door behind her, grinning and totally taking in the view a moment as she walks by]

Laura: [laughs as she turns back to face him] Good. So where do you want me?

Esposito: Mmm, so many answers to that. But for now, how about the kitchen. We can eat in there.

Laura: [smirks but nods as she turns to follow him] Sounds good.

Esposito: [and he will lead her into the kitchen that has a tiny fold up table in a corner with some folding chairs and a cheap plastic tablecloth. He reaches into the fridge and grabs two beers, then opens them and puts one in front of Laura] So what do I owe the honor to?

Laura: [she shrugs] Things have ... calmed down considerably from the past two weeks. It seemed safe to take a little me time, which inevitably translated into me-and-you time.

Esposito: Well, I can't say I won't complain. I like both the time and knowing that you're feeling safe.

Laura: [she nods in agreement] It was a little touch and go for a while there. [she wasn't sure Chris Argent would take the deal, but he's at least somewhat honorable. She has to hold on to that much]

Esposito: But, all things considered, it's better now?

Laura: It is. Everything seems to be back on track.

Esposito: Good. Because I kinda missed you. [smirks]

Laura: [grins] I missed you too. And I missed you talking to me for non-official police business.

Esposito: Well, I'm off the clock right now. I'm sure we can find other things to talk about.

Laura: [nods] Or not talk about.

Esposito: Oh. [smirks] So what, dinner's just the excuse to get you here?

Laura: [shrugs innocently] Well, I figured if we're going to be wearing each other out, we shouldn't do it on an empty stomach.

Esposito: Always thinking ahead. I like that.

Laura: I like to be prepared.

Esposito: So how long do I get you before I have to worry about your brother checking in on you?

Laura: Depends. How long do you want me for?

Esposito: [acts like he's thinking real hard] How 'bout until I have to go to work. I think I have enough around here to make you breakfast.

Laura: That we can definitely do. I don't think Peter expects me to be home tonight.

Esposito: Well then, as long as the good citizens of New York behave for most of the night, I think we may just get that breakfast then.

Laura: [grins] Perfect.

Esposito: [and he's going to finish that dinner pretty quickly and go to clean up the kitchen] You want to put something on in the background? [because NYC apartments are notorious for thin walls]

Laura: [she gives a bit of a shrug as she moves closer to him] I never mind mood music. What'd you have in mind?

Esposito: Maybe something with a little bit of rhythm. Not a lot of words, but you can tell just how hot the song is from the undertones?

Laura: [nods slowly, before smirking] I could go for that.

Esposito: [leans over and grabs the remote, turning on Pandora. Because he may have a playlist for that already. And once the sexy Latin instrumentals start, he's going to pull her in for a very nice, long kiss]

Laura: [doesn't even fight him and just melts into him, one arm looping around his neck as she moves closer. They waited way, way too long to do this, but she's glad they're doing it now]

Esposito: [yeah, it was way too long but he was going to make up for it now and make sure she didn't have any reason for complaints. He was going to sit back on the couch, in fact, and pull her into his lap so they could focus on the kissing and less on the standing]

Laura: [moves with him, one hand coming up to brace herself against the back of the couch as she slides into his lap. She lowers herself slowly, not wanting to disturb the kiss as she gets comfortable]

Esposito: [and he's pretty much not a shy lover, his hands knowing right where they want to go and want to pick up where they had left off exploring the curves of her body]

Laura: [she doesn't mind a guy who knows what he wants, and she'll move just enough to give his hands free range to wander, her hips slowly starting to rock against his in time with the music]

Esposito: [he's going to groan at that, and his hands are going to start getting rid of that shirt that's hindering the advancement up of his hands]

Laura: [she breaks the kiss to help him get her shirt over her head, before moving to tug at his. Once both pieces of clothing are on the floor she'll lean in close again, her lips following the line of his jaw down his neck]

Esposito: [he's going to moan happily at that, his hand cupping her breasts and massaging them, hips pressing up against her as he whispers in her ear] Mi bonita loba

Laura: [That makes her pick up her head a bit, eyebrows going up in surprise] Really.

Esposito: [he blinks, worried she may not have liked that] Yeah?

Laura: [she doesn't mind so much as ...] Just be careful where you call me that.

Esposito: Something wrong?

Laura: [she shakes her head before leaning in to kiss him again] No. Some people might just take you a little more literally than you expect.

Esposito: [and here he thought he was being just all sexy and romantic] I was thinking that would just be something between you and me, but if you don't like it...

Laura: No, no that's not ... [she groans as her head flops down against his shoulder. Way to go, mood killer.] Sorry. I'm sorry.

Esposito: Hey. [his hand cups her neck and plays through her hair there] Look at me, Laura. I'm not some punk kid who doesn't know squat about your world. I know when to keep my mouth shut and things about who you really are? [not what, but who - he was very specific in those words] That ain't no one's business. I'm not gonna risk you to some low rate hunter with a hard on trying to take out a pack. What we do behind doors though - that ain't anyone's business either.

Laura: [sighs as she looks up at him and she nods as she listens because she knows this. She does. But it's possible that not all of the paranoia of the past few weeks has gone away completely] No, I know. [a beat] I have mentioned that it's been a long time since I last did this, right?

Esposito: Maybe a few times. You run around all the time worrying about taking care of everyone else. When it's us, let me worry about taking care of you, alright?

Laura: [nods a bit at that] I can do that. [she hopes. she's kind of bad at letting go]

Esposito: Good. Because I'm planning on taking care of you all night long. [smirks]

Laura: [grins a bit at that] I just hope you can keep up.

Esposito: That a challenge?

Laura: [raises an eyebrow as though to say "what do you think?"]

Esposito: Oh girl, you're really asking for it. [and he's going to pull her in for a hard kiss, and yup, they are back on track]

Laura: [sinks into him eagerly, her hips continuing to rock down against his lap, as she pushes closer]

Esposito: [soon his hands are going to leave her breasts, sliding down along the waistband of her jeans, fingers gripping her ass to pull her against him as he grinds hard into her. He's so ready for more.]

Laura: [she is right there with him, hands trailing down his chest slowly before they find the fly of his jeans, wanting to get them undone]

Esposito: [and he's going to shirt, moving to help her get those jeans off both of them. he then reaches between the couch cushions because that was a handy place to stash condoms and he was always prepared]

Laura: [good boy. her hands are just going to get a little bolder, moving between them and letting her fingers wrap around him with slow strokes]

Esposito: Ay dios mio. [his head is going to fall back, breathing deep at that feeling]

Laura: [grins a bit as she leans towards that exposed neck, taking a deep breath as her lips moved against the nape of his neck]

Esposito: [he's going to tilt his head, giving her better access as his fingers slide between then, sliding to find her folds and two fingers thrust firmly up inside of her as his palm rubs her nub]

Laura: [she moans softly against his shoulder, her hips pressing back into his hand, moving in a slow circle with the motion of them. Her free hand moves to find his, taking the condom from him and tearing the package open to get it on him]

Esposito: [he's only going to give her enough time to get that condom on before he pulls his fingers out of her, guiding her hips up so that she can guide him into her. HIs fingers don't move far though, still teasing her nub now]

Laura: [there's another moan as she slides down onto him, her hands gripping his shoulders tightly for a moment to steady herself. It's been a while, as she's been saying, but she hadn't really realized how long until her body needed that moment to adjust. But it doesn't take her long to do so, leaning forward to kiss him again as her hips start to lift slowly in time with his fingers]

Esposito: [groans because damn she's tight. He's proud that he didn't just lose it right there. But he's going to kiss her hand, playing with her as he moved in time with her hips, getting as deep as he could with each thrust, relishing in the amazing goddess in his lap]

Laura: [moans in time with each thrust, picking up speed as they manage to find their rhythm with each other. it's a familiar push-pull between each other, and a bit of tension pooling in that spot between them and she chases it, wanting to just throw herself over the edge with him, rather than simply fall]

Esposito: [he's chasing it with her, getting a bit harder, faster, and his hand slides up her back to grip her hair just a bit to tug it, tipping her head to the side so he could kiss along her jaw and shoulders, panting against her skin between each kiss]

Laura: [she goes in the direction she's tugged, keeping her eyes closed at the press of his lips against his skin, and it doesn't take much more before she's falling over the edge, her body slumping a bit against him in response]

Esposito: [he feels her go, and his hand holds her tight against him as he joins her, thrusting in hard and deep a few times before he collapses back against the couch, his arms wrapping around her to keep her nice and close]

Laura: [she hums softly as she relaxes into him, letting her face nestle against his shoulder, just taking in their mingled scents together]

Esposito: [he's just going to kiss along hers, and then playfully nip on her earlobe] You're amazing, bonita.

Laura: [smiles at that, lazy and languid] You're pretty good yourself.

Esposito: And to think, that was just the warmup. [chuckling as he kissed her neck]

Laura: [laughs] Yep. Give me five minutes and I'll be good for round two.

Esposito: Good. Just enough time to get us to the bedroom.

Laura: [nods a bit, before pushing up and leaning in to kiss him again, soft and slow, whispering as she pulls back] Which way?

Esposito: [and he will get up, pulling her in for a kiss a moment before picking her up in his arms] Here, let me show you. [and he's going to carry her back into the bedroom where they will probably just keep having mind blowing sex all night and into the morning when it's time for breakfast]

Laura: [yes, that sounds like a good plan. She is all for that. And she will remind Espo to shower well to save her brother's precious delicate sensibilities]

Esposito: [he is sure that Derek will appreciate that if he makes it back from his appointment at the shrink. They had been taking it easy on him, after all, since he didn't seem to be having an easy time readjusting to work. But there was bagels with eggs and cheese and coffee for the both of them after he showered]

Laura: [that sounds perfect, and eventually she will wander out, pulling her wet hair back into a ponytail to keep it from becoming a major mess] That smells good.

Esposito: I'm glad you approve. I may have to make sure I have more of a variety of breakfast foods in my pantry though, if we're going to make a habit of this. [he smirked, his eyes all but begging for this to be a habit]

Laura: [nods in agreement] I like pancakes, personally. And bacon. Lots of bacon.

Esposito: I will add that to my grocery list then. I actually ran out of bacon the other day or I would have had some but instead, here's an egg and cheese bagel for her highness. [and he holds out a plate to her]

Laura: [takes it as a nod] Your offering is acceptable.

Esposito: Just acceptable?

Laura: [a bit of a look] I haven't eaten it yet. Give me a minute. I'm just going off the smell here.

Esposito: Alright. And if you want some hot sauce, it's over on the counter by the table. [and he's going to make his own plate. the coffee is already on the table]

Laura: [is just going to make her way over to the table and reach for her coffee, because that is the most important part of this meal, taking a deep breath and letting it wash over her. Mmmm coffee. after a sip of that, she will dig into her sandwich because she is starving]

Esposito: [and he's going to start eating and wouldn't you know it, that's his phone going off.] Well, at least the crazies waited until morning.

Laura: Thank God for that.

Esposito: [answers the call and takes down the address to meet Beckett and Ryan at and then hangs up] I should get going, but I've got to go uptown so I could walk you to the subway at least.

Laura: [nods, wrapping what's left of her sandwich in a napkin] Let me just grab my jacket.

Esposito: Alright. I need to find my boots anyway.

Laura: [nods as she gets up to find her jacket and pull it on, before returning to finish off her coffee and grab her sandwich again]

Esposito: [and he will walk with her, finishing his sandwich quickly and holding his coffee with one hand, his other free and near Laura unsure about taking her hand at the moment but it's there]

Laura: [sees that and she'll sneak forward and take it eventually tugging him to a stop when they reach the subway, and pushing up on her toes to kiss him gently] I'll see you later.

Esposito: [grins and kisses her back, cupping her cheek a moment] You better believe it. Get home safe.

Laura: Have fun at your crime scene. [and with that, she's down the stairs to go home]

Esposito: [and he's off to solve murder]
