Giving In - Chapter 16 *R*
“Harley Cooper,” she answered her phone as she sat back down at her desk later that week.
“My, that’s a sexy voice for a police officer,” she heard Gus say on the other end.
“Hey you,” she couldn’t hold back a smile.
“Hi. I wanted to tell you that I’m not going to be able to make it back this weekend.
Boss-man acted fine when I gave my notice but decided he should bury me in paperwork for the weekend,” Gus said.
“Oh. Okay,” Harley replied, disappointed. “Maybe next weekend.”
“I hope so I’ll be going crazy by then though,” he said.
“I know, but we can do it.”
“How are things going there? Are Frank and Buzz still giving you a hard time?” Gus asked, changing the subject.
“Dad pretends you don’t exist and Frank can’t stop sighing around me,” she answered, sighing herself.
“I’m sorry. I knew they didn’t like me, but I had no idea it was going to be like this,” he apologized. “Is there anything I can do?”
“No, there’s nothing you need to do, it’s their problem,” she replied.
“Well, they may be the ones who have a problem with us, but it’s affecting you and I don’t want that. I know how important your family is to you and I don’t want to come between you.”
“You’re not! What, do you really think I’m going to break up with you because my family has some reservations about you?” Harley asked.
“Reservations? Honey, please, they hate me.”
“They don’t hate you. They just don’t know you,” she argued.
“Well, they really haven’t had a chance.”
“I know, which is why I can’t wait for you to come back so they can get to know you better.”
“I don’t really do well with people, honey. I mean, I’m not a big fan of family game night,” he said.
“Well, then you’ll just have to learn how to be a fan, because if you’re going to be in my life, you’re going to be in their lives so you have to at least try to get along. And I do want you in my life,” she added.
“So do I,” he replied. “Alright, when I get back, I’ll bond with your family, deal?”
“Deal, thank you,” she smiled. “So what’s up? Anything new on the case?”
“Well, the girls are all safe, so that’s the important thing. I talked to Alicia’s father this morning and she’s doing okay. She remembered a few more details about where they kept her, but we still don’t know who was calling the shots,” Gus explained.
“Is that what you’re working so hard on?”
“That and about ten other cases,” he sighed. “I’m keeping busy, which is probably a good thing because it keeps my mind off of how much I want to be there with you. Well, most of the time it works at least.”
“Is there anything I can do to help you with this case?” Harley asked.
“I don’t know, maybe. I’ll let you know though,” he answered.
“Well, you do that. Anything to get you here faster I will do. I miss you. I mean, we just got started and we already have to do this long distance thing. I hate it.”
“I hate it too, but we gotta suffer for a little bit. Just think how much better it will be when we finally do get to see each other,” Gus said.
“When will that be?”
“As soon as possible,” he sighed. “I have to go, the Boss-man cometh.”
“Okay, call me later. Bye,” she said and after he said goodbye, they hung up.

“So what are you up to this weekend? Is Gus coming?” Marina asked Harley the next Friday as she ate dinner at the counter at Company.
“No,” Harley shook her head. “He has too much work to do.”
“He couldn’t come last weekend either. I thought you guys were going to be together at least on the weekends.”
“We thought so too, but Gus’s boss had a different idea.”
“Is he really mad that Gus is quitting?” Marina asked.
“Well, yeah, I guess. I mean, he really stuck his neck out to get Gus the job again in the first place and now Gus is leaving, so he’s being a little tough on him,” Harley answered. “Marina…do you like Gus?”
“I don’t really know him,” she shrugged. “But he makes you happy.”
“Yes, he does,” Harley smiled.
“And he’s good with the boys and he’s funny and he’s…very good looking,” Marina teased and Harley laughed, shaking her head.
“Yes, he is,” she replied. “Your father and grandfather don’t like him.”
“Yeah, why is that?” Marina asked.
“If I knew why, I would fix it, believe me,” Harley sighed.
“I think they’re just worried about you. They don’t want to see you get hurt again,” she suggested.
“Well, I don’t want to get hurt either, but I can’t be so afraid of getting hurt that I miss out on really great things, you know? And Gus and I are one of those really great things.”
“I’m not the one you have to convince, Aunt Harley,” Marina replied as she refilled Harley’s coffee.
“Then could you help me out with the other two?”
“I’ll put in a good word for you,” Marina winked as she went to go wait on a table and Harley got her stuff together and went to pick up the boys from the Bauer house.

Harley rushed out of the kitchen when she heard her cell phone ringing later that night. She was just about to get a glass of wine, but she knew only one person would be calling her this late.
“Hey sexy,” she answered, without even looking at the caller ID and when she didn’t get a response right away, she was afraid someone other than Gus was calling.
“Hey yourself,” he finally replied and she breathed a sigh of relief. “Sorry for calling your cell, but I didn’t want to wake up the boys.”
“That’s okay. What’s up?” she asked.
“Why don’t you open your front door and see,” he suggested and Harley looked across the living room at the door then started walking over to it slowly.
She opened the door and saw Gus standing there holding a bouquet of flowers- daisies, her favorite- with a duffel bag over his shoulder.
“What are you doing here?” she asked as she shut her phone and jumped in his arms.
“I have a meeting in Chicago in the morning, so I thought I’d fly here and spend the night with you while I was at it. But I have to leave at like 4,” he said as he lifted her off the ground and carried her into the house.
“I’m so glad you’re here,” she smiled and kissed him. “You have to leave at 4?” she
asked.
“I have to. The meeting’s at eight and that’s already cutting it close. But I couldn’t be this close and not come see you.”
“Then let’s go to bed so you can get some sleep,” she said as she took his hand and started into the living room.
“I didn’t come here to sleep,” he replied, pulling her back towards him.
“I meant after,” she laughed.
“That’s more like it,” he said and grabbed the bottom of her shirt. “I can’t wait until we get upstairs though. I need you now,” he finished and pulled her shirt over her head when she lifted her arms and pushed her back against the wall right inside the door.
“Right here?” she asked breathlessly between kisses.
Gus didn’t respond but helped her take his shirt off then pushed her jeans down her legs. “Will we be okay here with the boys?”
“Yes. I have a feeling this won’t take too long,” she replied and Gus pulled back.
“Hey!” he laughed.
“Well, honey, it has been two weeks. And I’m almost done just looking at you,” she added and kissed his neck.
“Really? It’s kinda nice to know that I have that effect on you,” he murmured into her hair.
“You have no idea what kind of effect you have on me, but if we stop talking, I’ll show you,” she teased, her hot breath rushing over the skin of his neck, still wet from her kisses.
Gus went to respond, but decided against it and instead fell to his knees and kissed Harley’s bare stomach and he trailed his fingers up the back of her thighs to the top of her underwear, which quickly joined the rest of her clothes on the floor. Harley grabbed his arms and pulled him back up to his feet into a deep kiss. As her tongue explored his mouth, her hands traveled to the waist of his pants and pushed them off of him, followed by his underwear, leaving their only obstacle in the form of Harley’s bra which Gus expertly slid off in a matter of seconds.
He picked her up off the floor and their bodies joined as she wrapped her legs around him. He held her with one hand as the other cupped her breast and his mouth tortured her hard nipple before he pushed her up against the wall in a deep kiss, his tongue stroking hers in rhythm with his thrusts.
“God, Gus…” Harley moaned as she tightened the grip around his waist and buried her face in his neck as she climaxed.
Gus soon followed and released inside of her with one final, deep thrust and a passionate kiss. He held her in his arms, kissing her lovingly before he lowered her to her feet and she pulled him over to the couch where they wrapped themselves in a blanket and cuddled.
“I missed you so much,” Harley said as she snuggled into his chest. “And it’s only been two weeks.”
“I know. I’ve been going crazy without you. I don’t like this long distance stuff,” he replied, kissing the side of her head.
“Me neither. But I thought we decided this was going to make it so much better when you finally did get here,” Harley reminded him.
“That’s crap,” he laughed. “I just want to be here with you.”
“I know,” she nodded and a comfortable silence overcame them as they laid in each other’s arms.
“I’ve been thinking about something and I want to run it by you,” Gus began, a few minutes later.
“Okay.”
“I think I want to build a house here,” he continued.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I mean, it’s really nice of your dad to give me a room at the boarding house, and I’ll probably stay there for a while, but I want a house, I want a yard, I want someplace to call home, you know?” he asked and she nodded.
“I think if that’s what you want, you should do it,” she replied.
“Yeah? Will you help me?” he asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Well, whatever. Looking at property, paint colors, furniture…” he suggested and Harley smiled as she leaned against him.
“I think I can do that,” she nodded, knowing that he was pushing for a commitment without actually saying so, and surprisingly, she was responding in kind. “Anything you need, I’ll help you with.”
“Good, because I really want you to be a part of this, you know?”
“I know,” she nodded and turned her head to kiss him. “And I want to be.”
“Good,” he smiled and squeezed her tightly.
“Do you want to go up to bed now?” she asked and he nodded before they went upstairs and crawled into bed together.

“I’ll have an egg white omelet with swiss cheese and broccoli. And wheat toast, please,” Blake ordered the next morning at breakfast with Harley who had spent their first ten minutes together yawning.
“I’ll just have a cup of coffee,” Harley told the waitress, “And keep ‘em coming.”
“What is with you? Jude keep you up all night?” Blake asked.
“No, it wasn’t Jude,” Harley answered.
“Zach?”
“Nope.”
“Good movie on TV?” Blake asked, running out of options.
Harley shook her head, “Gus,” she finally answered. “He had a meeting in Chicago this morning, so he flew here and came to the house. Except he didn’t get here until midnight and he had to leave at four, so we slept maybe two hours before he had to get up and shower. And I ended up in the shower with him…and then I couldn’t fall back asleep after he left.”
“Now, was this your first booty call?” Blake teased.
“Shut up,” Harley laughed. “Booty calls don’t spend the night.”
“He didn’t spend the night, he took a nap after you had sex!”
“Well, I don’t care. It was the only chance I had to see him until he comes back to
Chicago,” Harley said.
“When’s that?”
“I have no idea. Soon, hopefully.”
“Oh, a long-distance booty call,” Blake winked.
“Blake, I know you think our relationship is nothing more than sex, but that’s not true. It
began a long time before we made love in Paris, I just didn’t realize it until then,” Harley explained.
“I just don’t want you to get hurt,” Blake replied as she reached across the table and put her hand on Harley’s arm.
“I know you don’t. I don’t either, but I don’t think that’s going to happen this time. Gus
is a good guy, and he loves me.”
“So did the other ones, Harley.”
“I know,” she nodded, “But Gus is different. You don’t know him like I do.”
“Okay,” Blake replied. “How about the next time Gus is in town, we all go out to dinner? You guys and me and Ross, sound good?”
“That sounds great. Thank you, Blake,” Harley replied
“Sure. Now tell me more about this midnight booty call,” Blake teased and Harley laughed as she downed another cup of coffee.
