Syd's introduction left little need for more formalities

“I… think I need a drink.”

“Same!”

Jack nodded. With a quick wave he signaled a waiter. “Two shots of tequila please.”

“Same for me!” Nancy added, causing her date to grin. Finally, their eyes met and they let out a helpless chuckle.

“Well,” Jack smirked, “Where do we go from here?!”

“I honestly… no clue!” Nancy shrugged. She was able to think on her feet in a firefight and outwit some of the best lawyers the criminal underworld of L.A. had to offer, but put on the spot, shoved into a sex-date like this when five minutes ago she had thought she was here for a girls’ night out with her partner… she was lost. “I thought I’d just be out drinking tonight…”

“Fair enough!” Jacobs nodded. Their drinks arrived, they each took a glass, clinked them together and necked them, grimacing at the burning sensation in their throats. “So, I meant to say... You have a pretty badass reputation at the precinct.”

“Mmhm!” Nancy nodded, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand as she enjoyed the fire in her belly for another second. “Thank you, Jacobs. I took a look at your evaluations a while ago too. Impressive! You did a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, yet decided to swap that for the glorious lifestyle of a cop?!”

“What can I say?” Jacobs smiled. “I love how the human psyche works. I love how every one of us is at the same time strong and independent, but on the other hand if you know how to do it you can easily nudge and prod a person to do what you want.”

“So you like manipulating people?”

That made the young man laugh. “That’s certainly one way to put it. I’d say I like to understand people better… Anyway, ultimately, I felt the curriculum didn’t work for me and I wanted to get a more hands-on job. Hence, the career switch. And I still hope that the knowledge acquired in my studies will help me get ahead.”

“I can see that.” McKenna agreed. “It obviously already helps you in your personal life…”

Jacobs cocked an eyebrow.

“Oh, don’t give me that innocent crap. I am a ‘badass detective’, remember?” Nancy chuckled, playfully hitting his shoulder. “As if that reputation of yours is a coincidence? I mean, my girl over there just basically ran a commercial on your qualities as a lover. Your tongue put a reward system in place to incentivize girls to drop their panties so you and your dick could reap the rewards…”

Jacobs smirked, lifting his hands palm-side up. “Busted!”

“It is a great scheme,” Nancy admitted, a grin on her face. She grabbed her second shot and downed it before standing up. “Come on then. I want to see how that tongue stacks up to its reputation!”

The young officer looked at her in surprise. With her being known as a bit of an ice queen had prepared him for a lengthy evening and middling chances of success at best, all his male colleagues warning him how the gorgeous Latina was unattainable. Now she was basically giving herself away with hardly any effort required. Maybe the infamous Nancy McKenna was just another dirty, little slut, she just hid it a little better. He fought back a wide grin as he emptied his tequila, then quickly stood to follow as Nancy already pushed her way to the exit. Knowing that he could get away with it he let his eyes drift down to the stunning detective’s thick, denim-clad bubble butt, admiring the sensuous side-to-side sway and its firm, feminine roundedness. This was going to be fucking fun!
