58. Chapter 58

Maggie’s waiting at the DEO when Alex gets back from a sting op in a downtown warehouse.

Waiting and pacing only slightly, because J’onn assures her it’s a routine mission, and that Agent Danvers should be back only slightly late for your date Detective, and where did you plan on taking her tonight and ah, see, there she is now and for a moment, Maggie’s angry because what the hell kind of messed up organization requires near full body armor for a routine everyday op but then her body catches up to her mind because Alex is grinning and Alex is safe and dear sweet lord Alex is in head to toe protective gear and Alex is the absolute hottest thing Maggie has ever seen.

“All according to plan, sir, they’re bringing in the escapee in the second truck. Permission to uh…” She grins, sideways, proud, cocky, as she catches the lust in Maggie’s eyes, the hitch in her breath, the moistening of her lips.

“Yes, yes, of course, Alex, I’ll get the debrief from Sanchez. Go. And pick Detective Sawyer’s jaw up off the floor on your way.”
