====================================
Le Français is an original Law Enforcement series playing with the Cop/Not-a-Cop trope, mixed with some social power play, and (hopefully) realistic BDSM elements. The series will jump between categories based on the content of each part. This series is sponsored by the fantastic ThL!
In this chapter you can expect a stakeout, and 'payback' that turns into more teasing in an MFF encounter.
Marc takes a risk and introduces Sinead to Felicity. Sort of.
====================================
Chapter 82
Sinead put her phone away and made sure not to bite her lip or smile or do
anything
with her face. She also prayed to God that she wasn't blushing.
Jules looked over at her with a raised eyebrow. "Anything you need to tell me?"
"No?" Sinead said.
Her partner snorted softly and shook her head. They were on a cold stakeout watching Victor Barisha's warehouse - there wasn't really anything left to
do
until Marc was able to shake loose some information for them to act on, but they needed to know if those crates got moved or joined by more of them.
"What?" Sinead asked.
"You need to get laid," Jules said.
"Fuck off," Sinead sighed. "This again? When was the last time
you
got laid?"
"I'm not the one who's letting it affect her," Julia defended herself. "Who were you texting with just now?"
"A guy," Sinead said. "Maybe someone who I'm going to get laid with, I don't know yet." That was all true - she
hoped
that Marc was going to use their meeting that night to fuck her, but she didn't
know.
He was a tricky French fuck.
"How did you meet him?" Jules asked.
"He's an international criminal mastermind," Sinead said with sarcasm dripping through her voice. "We fell in love when we got into a fender bender, and we're deciding whether we should run away together and open a bakery in his hometown, or a dog grooming business."
"OK, fuck off and leave my love of Hallmark movies alone, first of all," Jules chuckled. "They aren't supposed to be
good,
they're supposed to be heartwarming. Second of all, you're supposed to run into each other while you're both out of town so you're not in your element. And
third,
bitch, you can't distract me from the question. Who were you texting?"
"I actually was texting a guy," Sinead said, deciding to lean into as much of the truth as she could. Jules would know if she was blatantly lying. "And I actually am thinking I might get laid."
"Was that guy Marc?" Jules asked bluntly.
Sinead glared at her, having nothing else she could say.
Jules looked back at her pointedly, and they settled into an uncomfortable, challenging silence.
Sinead blinked first, mostly because she'd started glaring first, and Jules smirked just a little. But then they both broke the staring contest because the gate from the warehouse yard started opening.
"It's 11:17 AM," Jules said as she quickly scribbled in her notes. "Gate opens. Delivery truck arrives from the west. U-Haul rental, license plate G-Y-F-M-4-2-2, I think that's an Idaho picture on the side. Looks like two men in the front, another one working inside the yard. Wait- a dark grey town car is pulling in behind it. Tesla. Ninety per cent sure that was Victor Barisha driving, couldn't see the plates due to snow."
"Fuck," Sinead growled. That would have been a good reason to make a traffic stop, but she couldn't show her face around Victor.
"Yeah, well, your fault," Jules muttered. "Alright. Gate is closing, looks like the rental truck is pulling up to the main doors and- we've lost visual at 11:18 AM. Fuck. We don't know if they're loading or unloading."
"Alright," Sinead sighed. "Um - OK. I think we wait to see if the Uhaul truck leaves, then follow it and see if we have a reason to make a stop?"
"Better than nothing," Jules agreed. A beat later she snorted softly. "Unless you've got
plans.
"
"Nothing I can't push back," Sinead said, dreading the idea that she might need to. "It's just a
maybe
thing."
"Sure," Jules said, giving her some side-eye while she tucked her notebook back into his coat. "Sure."
"Fuck off," Sinead sighed.
"I'm just saying, I
get
why you would be attracted to him," Jules said. "Hell, if I met him under different circumstances, I'd be attracted to him too."
"You mean you're attracted to him but you're ignoring it," Sinead said.
"Yes," Jules grunted. "That's what I mean. Marc, when he's not sitting in interrogation because we think he might be a secret crime lord, has attractive qualities. But he
was
sitting there, across from us, and he
is
doing this shady work for you that could blow up in your fucking face. So if you
are
meeting up with him, just..."
"This'll be good," Sinead murmured.
"Just be careful, babe," Jules finally sighed.
Sinead slowly turned to look at her directly, eyebrow raised. "Be careful? What happened to 'Such a bad idea, don't do it?'"
"If you're not listening to the last eighty times I've said it, saying it one more time won't make a difference," Jules threw up her hands. "And you deny it every time even though I still think you're flicking your bean to him every night. It
is
a bad idea but if you need to get him out of your system then just... do that. You haven't had a good fuck in
years,
and maybe you'll be more clearheaded if he can give that to you. Just don't let him fall in love with your pasty white ass."
"Fuck off," Sinead chuckled.
"I didn't say it wasn't a
nice
ass, it's just pasty white you Irish skank."
"
So
much more appreciated," Sinead said, then sighed. "You haven't exactly had a guy you've been raving about for a while either."
"Maybe not, but does this mean you're admitting you're gonna fuck Marc?"
"No, it's not me admitting I'm gonna fuck Marc," Sinead scoffed. "I just- I agree that he's got attractive qualities. Some very attractive ones, honestly. He's corny as shit but going out with him on those undercover 'dates' is a kind of a whirlwind of fancy princess shit. Expensive car, expensive restaurant, fancy people. And he's
good
