Wynonna had known it was a bad idea to try and seduce Officer Nicole Haught, but she had done it anyway because she was the Queen of bad ideas, and literally had no self-control. It was yet another decision she lived to regret. Surprisingly not because they were discovered, because they weren't, even though they'd had sex in a very public place. Or the inevitable awkwardness afterwards.
Honestly Wynonna could live with that kind of awkwardness, as she was used to it, and she was almost disappointed at not being discovered. The problem was she hadn't foreseen having to work that night, it was embarrassing as she spent the entire time walking funny or squirming while she was sitting down, which put an annoyingly smug look on Officer Haught's admittedly beautiful face.
To be fair it wasn't like Wynonna could have known that Officer Haught would give her like the best ass fucking and spanking combo ever, but she had, and Wynonna had to suffer through the consequences. Thankfully this time Waverly had pretty much saved herself, which was good, because if Wynonna ever failed to save her sister it would end her, especially if her failure to do so was because of something as embarrassing as her butt hurt.
Of course she could have been to the rescue a lot sooner if she hadn't insulted Nicole, and lying to her just seemed weird at this point, and Dolls was refusing to return her calls, and the last of the seven was screwing with her in a real bad way, and she just had enough of all of this. So by the time morning came and Officer Haught was the taking the statements of Waverly's guests Wynonna decided to tell her the truth. And, well, apologise.
Of course it was super awkward to walk up to the deputy, and again painful, but Wynonna was used to fighting through pain and awkwardness, even offering a gentle smile as she greeted the other woman, "Hey."
"Hey." Nicole returned, then after a brief pause mumbled, "So, it seems like Waverly's going to be okay."
"Yeah, she is one tough cookie." Wynonna agreed.
"Must run in the family." Nicole quipped with a little smile, before apologising, "I'm sorry-"
"I'm sorry." Wynonna apologised for missing the exact same time, then frowned, "Wait, why the hell are you sorry?"
"I stomped off just because you hurt my feelings." Nicole explained, "I'm an adult, and more importantly a cop. I shouldn't have taken it so personally. I don't like, or understand, what Black Badge is, or what your connection is to everything that's going on, but if I hadn't stormed off, I would have been with you when, whatever this was, went down and for that I'm sorry."
"No, no, no, I was being a bitch." Wynonna quickly countered, "A paranoid bitch who was way out of line."
"Paranoid about what?" Nicole frowned.
There was a brief pause and then Wynonna said, "Give me a ride back to the station, and I'll tell you."
Nicole frowned again, "What's your boss going to think about that?"
Wynonna shrugged, "He isn't here."
There was a brief pause and then Nicole nodded, "Okay."
Annoyingly Wynonna had to walk all the way around the car to get to the passenger seat, and then couldn't stop grimacing as she sat down, which resulted in another satisfied smirk on the other woman's face, prompting the Earp Heir to snap, "Will you stop it?"
"Stop what?" Nicole asked, trying to sound innocent and failing.
"You know what." Wynonna hissed, "Stop looking so smug."
"Smug about what?" Nicole asked, while looking smug.
Not really wanting to have a conversation about her sore ass Wynonna just glared at the police officer for a few long seconds, before folding her arms and pouting. Which was just another embarrassment, because she prided herself on always having a comeback, but Officer Nicole Haught just had this effortless ability to rattle her even before she spanked her and fucked her up the ass? And now?
God, what was Wynonna thinking giving her this power over her. Oh God, her reaction of course made Officer Haught chuckle with delight, which in turn made Wynonna blush again, and seriously, what was up with all these blushes? She was a bad ass Demon killer, not some blushing high school girl with a crush.
Thankfully Officer Haught didn't press the issue, and while on the road heading back to the station maybe Wynonna could finally tell her the truth. Then what? Nicole would throw her in a cell until whatever drugs she was on was out of her system? Or just call her crazy and kicked her out? Because seriously, how was Wynonna supposed to explain what was going on without sounding crazy? And why did she care?
What, one quick hook up, and now she cared about what some cop thought about her? No, if Wynonna was being honest with herself she had cared about this woman's opinion before, but she wasn't sure why. And she wasn't sure she wanted to admit it. Or just maybe not yet.
"You wanna stop and get breakfast first?" Nicole asked, startling Wynonna from her thoughts, then offering "I'll buy."
"What, you mean like a date?" Wynonna scoffed.
"Why not?" Nicole asked.
Taken aback by the other woman's directness Wynonna blinked a few times, before dismissing the idea, "You don't want me as a girlfriend."
"That's not really your call, is it?" Nicole countered, "But I'll bite, why do you think that?"
Wynonna just frowned at the redhead for a few long seconds, then grumbled, "I'd make a lousy girlfriend."
"I don't know." Nicole argued softly, "We could balance each other out."
"Or it could be a dumpster fire, and I could hurt you." Wynonna argued.
"You care about hurting me?" Nicole smiled, taking her eyes off of the road for a second, so she could look at the other woman.
After a few long seconds of disbelief Wynonna ranted, sounding frustrated, and even kind of angry at this point, "I drink. Like, all the time, just to get by. I don't care who I offend. Life's too short for that shit. Because of it, I've been arrested a ton of times, and everyone hates me. I haven't had a relationship which lasted more than a month. And that was just a 'I'll fuck you when I see you' kind of deal, and if I did there's no way I'd remember anniversaries, or be able to stay monogamous, or any of that shit. And there's... there's other stuff. Bad stuff. Like, really, really bad. Stuff I can't even tell you about. Not yet. Maybe not ever. So... still want to date me?"
As Wynonna spoke Nicole slowly pulled over, and then once the engine was off she turned to the other woman and simply replied, "Yes."
"Then you're crazier than I am." Wynonna said in frustration.
"You're too hard on yourself." Nicole said softly, quickly adding, "Yes, as far as I can tell, a lot of that stuff is true. Your rude, crass and always looking for a fight. You're definitely not the kind of girl I normally go for, and I don't think you even respect me, or my job."
"Wow, way ta win me over Officer Haught." Wynonna scoffed.
"But..." Nicole said, turning her body more towards Wynonna, "I like that you're opinionated, and as you have annoyingly proven in such a short time, you're good at this. Stopping bad guys from doing, whatever it is they're doing. And your smart, funny, and yeah, a total smoke show."
"Top shelf man, top shelf?" Wynonna mocked.
Leaning in Nicole softly asked, "I'm guessing I'm not the kind of person you normally go for either."
"No, I fuck girls all the time." Wynonna countered.
"Yeah, but what kind of girls?" Nicole pushed, leaning even closer, "College girls looking to experiment? Little pillow princesses who just lie there while you do all the work? Girls so drunk they barely know what they're doing? All of the above?"
"That's accurate." Wynonna admitted softly.
"All of them bottoms, I bet." Nicole practically growled in disgust, "Just submissive little sluts you could walk all over. I bet that was fun. But none of them could give you what you want. What you need."
"And what's that?" Wynonna scoffed, although not nearly as forcefully as she intended.
"Someone who can see through your bull-shit and posturing. Someone who won't put up with it. Someone who will take total control and treat you like the top shelf bottom you are." Nicole said with an effortless confidence which surprised even her, although she did well hiding it thanks to how much her words seem to be having the right affect.
