Here I am again with a new story. I'm slowly trying to get back to my writing after watching season 6 which, needless to say, destroyed me on so many levels. It includes my inspiration. I happened to write this chapter before watching the last season, now I'm back at it, writing the following chapters and it's not easy. I'm struggling a lot but slowly I'm succeeding in writing the chapters as I wanted.

Okay, back at this story, I was inspired to write it after rewatching The Closer "Last Rites" (7x19) and seeing one particular scene: when Sharon comes to talk to Brenda, Andy stares at her and she caught him in the process. Andy's look (and him being incredibly sexy) got my mind running wild and I came up with this chapter.

Also, the song "Fallin All In You" by Shawn Mendes loosely inspired this whole piece. I hope you will like it!

Special thanks to my super amazing Beta, eelise187, who proofread my work, supported me and gave me some great ideas to help me fight my writer's block.

Again, I don't own the show or its characters (or freaking season 6 would have never happened).

FALLING IN ALL IN YOU

CHAPTER ONE: 30TH OF JULY 2012

Sharon Raydor couldn't quite explain the turn of events that led her to this point. She rolled over in bed and found the other side empty. She sighed, covering her face with both hands and shook her head while she muttered to herself, "Of course, what were you thinking?"

Sharon felt like an idiot for falling so easily into his trap, and she couldn't quite understand how she had let all of this happen. She had just become another of his conquests, his latest one-night stand to be added to an already long list. Feeling suddenly uneasy, Sharon wrapped the bed sheet around her to cover her naked body while she got out of bed, in search of her clothes.

*FOUR HOURS BEFORE – MAJOR CRIMES DIVISION*

Sharon's day had gone as usual. She had been around the Major Crimes team during the case concerning the death of a priest. She had helped to maintain good relations with the Catholic Church, as Chief Johnson's difficult behavior had risked the cooperation of the latter. It was nothing other than a busy day at the office, just like every other time she had to babysit Chief Johnson in an attempt to prevent her from making bad decisions. It was nothing other than a busy day at the office, that is until she had caught Lieutenant Andy Flynn checking her out.

Sharon sighed as she sat on one of the stools in the break room, holding her mug near her mouth. She delicately blew on her hot tea to cool it as she recalled what had happened earlier in the Murder Room.

Sharon had just joined Chief Johnson to inform her about the conference with the Church when she had felt burning eyes on her. She had stopped talking for a split second and turned around to find Flynn staring at her, arms crossed over his chest, an arched eyebrow, and a teasing half smile on his lips. She had immediately returned her attention to Chief Johnson, trying to ignore the intense look he was giving her, but she was having a hard time ignoring the weird feelings building inside her. Once she was done explaining the situation to Chief Johnson, she noticed he was still in the same position, watching at her. She began to wonder if something was off with her face, or if her blouse was revealing too much as she couldn't find a reason for him to study her that way. She had held his gaze and after a few seconds, he had turned away, arms still crossed, to call to Commander Taylor, "Commander? His Holiness the Pope requested your presence." Sharon couldn't hold back a smile at Flynn's sarcastic joke, and the fact that she actually didn't roll her eyes at him had her worried. What was going on with her?

What was going on with me? She questioned for the rest of the day and she kept questioning now as she sipped her tea, sitting on one of the stools in the break room, rolling her eyes at what had occurred. She then put her mug on the counter before sighing and covering her face with both hands. It had been a strenuous day and she was exhausted. She just wanted to go home.

"Long day?" A voice broke the silence, filling the room.

Sharon straightened and ran a hand through her hair before turning around. She had recognized the voice and she wasn't surprised when she saw Andy Flynn standing arms crossed with a grin on his face. She raised an eyebrow at him before replying, "Yes. What about yours, Lieutenant?" she added politely.

"I'm about to head home…" he answered with a huge grin.

Flynn took a few steps forward and Sharon wondered what he was doing in the break room if he had finished working. She focused on her mug and took it again as she could sense his intense stare on her. Sharon started feeling uncomfortable and tried to ignore him while she continued sipping her tea. After a few seconds, her uneasiness quickly turned to annoyance as she asked him with a hint of irritation in her voice, "Is there something wrong, Lieutenant?"

"I don't know, you tell me, Captain." He simply stated with his foolish smile that was starting to get on Sharon's nerves. He then neared her to stand in front of her, resting his hands on the counter next to her. Sharon felt awkward at their sudden proximity, but she tried to hide it as she slowly put down her mug and simply remarked with a calm tone, "Well, you'll go blind if you keep staring at me like that."

"What got you thinking that I was staring at you?" he asked with a grin as he switched positions and moved closer to lean against the counter next to her. He was almost touching her and Sharon was taken aback for a few seconds before she answered, arching an eyebrow and faking annoyance, "I caught you in the process maybe?"

"And how does it feel?" His voice was suddenly husky and it sent shivers down Sharon's spine.

She didn't expect this kind of answer. She dared to look up at him and saw his intense gaze and all she could manage to say keeping her composure was, "Uhm… inappropriate?"

"Are you going to report me for this?" he teased her, looking her in the eyes.

Sharon wondered if he was trying to read her mind, or even to undress her with a look. Flynn was acting cheeky, in a way only he could, and she didn't know how to feel about it. Sharon didn't know if she should be irritated by his stupid lines or flattered by the fact he was actually trying to pick her up. He was clearly teasing her and she decided to play along when she replied, "What do you think?"

They stood in silence for a while, staring at each other, testing the waters. His eyes were burning with a feeling Sharon hadn't seen in someone else's eyes in years, but she recognized it nevertheless. Desire. She wasn't going to let him see the effect he was having on her. She knew it would have boosted his ego even more, so she put on her best poker face, trying to ignore her pounding heart while he continued to look at her seductively. He was playing with her, so she saw no reason why she shouldn't do the same with him.

"Well, Captain, before you do anything, you should hear my arguments first." He finally said, giving her one of his best Andy Flynn smiles.

Here again, that smile. Sharon had never noticed before how intriguing his smile was. She didn't think she had ever seen him smile that way at her. She had seen him angry, she had heard him God knew how many times yell at her, but she couldn't quite remember if he had ever smiled at her. Before tonight. She stood up from her stool to face him and the proximity between them was starting to get dangerous.

"I'm very curious, Lieutenant." She slowly stated, emphasizing every word with a deep voice as she stood expectantly, hands on her hips, "What are your arguments?"

Flynn smiled mischievously and before she realized what was happening, he abruptly leaned in, closing the gap between them. He kissed her hungrily and without thinking any further, Sharon deepened the kiss, running a hand through his silver hair. In the heat of the moment, she slightly lost her balance and was about to collide against the counter when she felt his arm slide around her waist to steady her. They broke off the kiss, their mouths standing inches apart when he whispered with a smirk, clearly out of breath, "I've wanted to do this since the beanbag gun episode." He then paused, considering his next words as he confessed with a huge grin, "You have no idea how much of a turn it was to see you shoot that guy without hesitation." He paused. "A perfect damn shot," concluding with a smirk.

Sharon smiled softly as she suddenly realized this may have been the moment where Flynn's attitude towards her had changed. As if he had understood from that episode that she wasn't just a boring administrative FID officer, but that she was in fact a field-competent officer and a skilled shooter too. She broke the closeness between them by taking a few steps back before looking at him again and whispering, "Let's not do this…" She paused to look around her before focusing on Flynn again and adding, "Here."

"Oh, so your rulebook says it's okay to do it, but not at work?" He teased her with a naughty smile, watching her with his arms crossed.

Sharon rolled her eyes and smacked his arm playfully as she replied, "Shut up, Lieutenant. Either lead the way or go home." She ordered taking her mug and putting it in the sink. "Alone." she added, turning around to throw him a deadly stare.

"Always so bossy, Captain." He answered back, leaving the break room with a foolish grin. He knew she would follow him soon after and that they would meet in the parking lot. He had no idea what they were doing. This was wrong on so many levels, but tonight they would set aside the rulebook to just live the moment, a perfectly wrong moment.

*PRESENT TIME – ANDY FLYNN'S HOUSE*

Sharon had managed to find most of her clothes in the Lieutenant's bedroom, only missing her blouse. After quickly dressing she now stood in front of the mirror, combing through her hair with her fingers while continuing to scan the room for her missing clothing. She sighed as she tried to recall what had happened about two hours ago and she groaned when she remembered where her blouse was.

*TWO HOURS BEFORE – ANDY FLYNN'S HOUSE*

"So this is where Lieutenant Andy Flynn lives." Sharon stated with a smirk as she stepped inside his house, looking around.

Flynn closed the door, put his badge and gun down on the console table and neared her. Sharon felt his hands on her waist as he turned her in his arms to face him before he whispered in a husky voice, "I can give you a quick tour of the house."

She smiled playfully at him while he drew her closer to him, still holding her waist. He leaned in to slowly whisper in her left ear, giving her goose bumps as his breath tickled the soft spot of her ear, "So this is the hallway… where I usually take off my jacket."

His hands moved from her waist up to the fabric of her blazer. He slowly took it away, brushing his hands along her now bare arms and tried to throw it on the coat hanger while kissing her. Flynn missed and the jacket fell to the floor. Sharon broke the kiss off and threw him an icy stare as she stated in a bossy tone, "You've just thrown a priceless Armani blazer on the floor, Lieutenant."

"I'll pay for the dry-cleaner, don't worry." He whispered to her as he began kissing down her neck. Sharon closed her eyes as a soft moan escaped her lips. He slowly moved her backwards as he guided her further inside his house. Flynn slid a hand under her blouse, stroking her soft skin and sending shivers down her spine. Goosebumps appeared on her arms once again as their movement was halted when she felt an obstacle behind her.

"This is the kitchen…" he spoke again, between kisses. "Where I cook the most exquisite meals… it usually gets very hot in here…"

"I didn't picture you as a kitchen man…" she managed to say, out of breath, as she looked at him with an arched eyebrow.

"This is one of my hidden skills… you know, I'm full of surprises…" he whispered in her ear before kissing her earlobe.

This last line made her heart flutter, feeling even more aroused. Before he could add something, she ran a hand through his salt and pepper hair and drew his head close to catch his lips in a passionate kiss. He didn't waste time in deepening the kiss while his hands fidgeted with her blouse. They broke the kiss only to allow him to pull her blouse over her head, the piece of clothing soon to be forgotten on the kitchen floor as he leaned in for another kiss.

"What do you say I'll show you the bedroom now?" he proposed with a smile, arousal clearly evident in his voice.

"Lead the way, Lieutenant." She ordered, her voice deeper with each passing second. She took hold of his tie to draw his face close to hers to add, "Immediately".

Flynn looked at Sharon bewildered as his hands came down to rest on her waist. Her eyes had become an intense and mesmerizing shade of green. He found himself at a loss for words and he smirked as he thought that it was the first time he was left speechless by a woman. He was normally the one in control but he could tell it wouldn't be that easy with Sharon Raydor.

"Yes, Captain." He simply answered back as his hands covered hers still holding his tie and he captured her lips for another kiss.

*PRESENT TIME – ANDY FLYNN'S HOUSE*

Sharon opened the bedroom door and took a look around before stepping out of the room. The hallway was empty and she slowly walked to the kitchen. She would take her blouse, her blazer, and her bag and leave quickly without looking back. That was the plan.

That was the plan until a tempting smell reached her nostrils. Her stomach growled and she stopped in her tracks when she found Andy Flynn in the kitchen, in dark gray pajama pants and a white undershirt. He was cutting some fruit and he smiled when he noticed her, "Hey…"

"Hey…" she answered back, feeling uneasy as she was standing dressed in her pencil skirt, but with only her bra as her blouse was still missing. She crossed her arms over her chest in an attempt to cover herself and Flynn made her notice with a grin, "You're aware I saw you naked a few hours ago?" He indicated with a gesture toward her crossed arms and added, "So this isn't really necessary…"

"Unfortunately, yes, I'm aware of that." Sharon answered back, firmer than she wanted to and she immediately kind of felt bad about her rude tone.

Flynn sighed and looked away. Here she is, Captain Raydor is back. He walked to the counter and took the blouse he had carefully folded a while ago before walking back to her. They were standing face to face, his eyes switching between her eyes and the blouse he was holding in his hands. Sharon noticed he tried to fold it in the best way he could, even if she could tell he had some tips to learn about folding clothes. Flynn finally handed the blouse to her and their hands brushed when she took it. They exchanged a look and Sharon whispered with a shy smile, "Thank you."

He nodded and he was about to go back to his cooking when he added, "You look great by the way…"

She smiled and took a few steps forward to stand closer to him before telling him, "Can't say the same about you, you have flour on your face."

Without thinking, she reached for his cheek and wiped away the flour. When she realized she was stroking his face, she quickly pulled her hand down and looked away uncomfortably. Flynn cleared his throat and went back to cutting fruit before announcing, "Take a seat. Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes."

Sharon put on her blouse and stood motionless, looking at him with a surprised face. She frowned as she turned her attention to the table he had set. There were orange juice and milk, along with two mugs with coffee. She then looked at him again and asked with a confused look, "What are we doing, Andy?"

Flynn stopped flipping the toast in the pan and turned around to look at her, still holding the spatula. He indicated the table and answered hesitantly, "Uhm… having breakfast?"

"I don't think it's a good idea." She quickly replied, a bit too quickly, straightening the wrinkles on her skirt with her hands.

"You didn't even taste my very special Flynn French Toast yet." He said jokingly, motioning for the pan. "Give the man some credit." He added with a puppy dog face before turning back to the stove.

Sharon couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, but it lasted only a few seconds before she got serious again as she added, frowning, "I mean us… Andy, what are we doing?"

Flynn stopped again and put down the spatula as he considered his next words. He paused to study her and he could read the confusion on her face. He simply asked, "Do we need to give a name to everything?"

"Right…" she admitted, not wanting to talk more about it. She wasn't in the mood for that kind of conversation and he clearly didn't want to think more about it either. She sat down and looked around her before adding, "I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman with all your conquests."

Flynn was putting some fruit on both plates when he stopped to meet her gaze. He smiled, arched an eyebrow, and asked her in a half serious and half playful tone, "Who told you I'm always like this?"

Sharon tried not to pay attention to any meaning behind his words as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before teasing him with a smirk, "Oh, so you're treating me well because I'm the Captain and you could get in trouble at work?"

"You said it, not me." He instantly replied raising his hands in surrender with a huge grin.

Sharon rolled her eyes, smiling as he picked up the plates and walked to her. He put one in front of her and the other one for him before introducing his specialty, "Here, have a taste of my Flynn's French Toast with ricotta cheese, peaches and blueberries. You know, ricotta is usually used to fill cannoli… Despite being cheese, it is often used for desserts." He explained before sitting down.

Sharon nodded and studied the plate. She smelled it and closed her eyes. It definitely looked tempting and she was surprised by Flynn's hidden skill. She never thought he would be great at cooking, let alone at food presentation. There was a harmony in the plate, blueberries and peaches offering great color contrasts. "Interesting," Sharon stated. "Not really French anymore though, more of a Sicilian Toast ." She added and Andy nodded to her in affirmation.

Sharon took a bite of it and closed her eyes, slowly chewing the food. It tasted heavenly. To Flynn's surprise, she moaned before saying, "It's so good." She delicately cleaned the corners of her mouth with her napkin before asking, "Where did you get the recipe?"

"Family recipe." He simply answered.

Sharon frowned, confused by the response. Before she could ask about his family connections Andy explained, "My mother is Italian. My father was American with Irish ancestry. As you may maybe have noticed, the surname Flynn has Irish origins."

"Interesting mix. Well now it explains why you're so hotheaded." She teased him half smiling as she held the mug in her hands and took a sip of her coffee.

Flynn looked at her bewildered, and he was still staring at her when she put down the mug and turned to meet his gaze with an innocent face, "What is it?"

"You did not just say that…" he muttered, faking offense.

Sharon laughed and took another bite of her food before telling him, "Andy, relax. I was teasing you."

Flynn rolled his eyes and laughed quietly, shaking his head. She kept surprising him. He would have never thought that the cold and strict Captain Raydor could be so likable. He would have never thought that he would have enjoyed breakfast with her. He would have never thought that they would have spent the night together. He didn't quite know how it all had happened. He couldn't explain what had led them to this situation and what had changed between them. To him, she wasn't that despicable FID officer anymore. With each passing day, he found something new and interesting about her and it made her each time more and more captivating.

"I didn't know you had such a great sense of humor, Captain Raydor." He finally said with a smirk.

"You're not the only one to have hidden skills." She stated offering him a mysterious smile. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me, Lieutenant Flynn," she teased him with a husky voice as she put another bite of French Toast in her mouth.

Flynn smiled and he put down his fork and slowly whispered, "Now you've got me curious." He leaned in and focused his attention on her before adding, "Go ahead, I'm all ears."

Sharon didn't say anything and kept staring at him mischievously, slowly chewing the food. She swallowed and then licked the corners of her mouth. Flynn couldn't take his eyes off her. He watched her as she seductively kept eating, not bothering to reply to his previous request. Sharon smiled satisfied as she noticed Flynn staring at her lips. She was aware of the effect she had on him and she rather enjoyed playing with him like that.

"You know this should be illegal." He whispered in a husky voice.

"What?" she asked putting on one of her most innocent faces.

"You eating my French Toast this way." Flynn replied indicating her plate with a confused hand gesture.

Sharon smiled and slowly took the last bite of food with her fork before holding it in Flynn's direction, as if offering it to him. After a few seconds of hesitation, he leaned in and was ready to grab it when she came closer and put the fork in her mouth. She quickly chewed and swallowed the food before offering him a malicious smile. She didn't move away and he didn't either. Their mouths were standing only a few inches apart and they looked at each other intensely. Flynn's eyes shifted from Sharon's intense green eyes to her inviting lips, once again surprising himself by thinking how beautiful she was. This must have been the first time he truly looked at her, studying each detail of her face and her beauty really struck him. It wasn't only a physical thing, he already knew by the way she dressed that she had a perfect body and the best legs. There was something more this time. He was seeing a part of her personality – relaxed, funny and sweet – that he clearly didn't expect to find in the cold, strict and tough Captain Raydor.

Suddenly, a ringtone interrupted the intimate moment. Flynn smiled at Sharon as he excused himself and stood up to look for his phone. He glanced at the ID and rolled his eyes before answering, "Flynn."

"What took you so long to answer, Flynn?" Provenza barked on the other side of the phone. Flynn sighed and didn't answer. There was no way he could give his partner the real explanation without causing the older Lieutenant to have a stroke. Flynn rubbed his eyes as he walked down the hallway, listening to what Provenza had to say to him.

Sharon couldn't hear much of the conversation, only a few glimpses of words that alone didn't make much sense. The conversation was short though because Flynn came back to sit at the table after a few minutes. Sharon could tell he was different. He looked tense. She tilted her head trying to read his mind before asking him quietly, "Is everything okay, Andy?"

Flynn snapped out of his thoughts. It was like he had forgotten Sharon was there. He sighed and looked down before finally answering, "Uhm not really… It was Provenza. He told me that Chief Johnson's mother died this morning…"

"What?!" Sharon exclaimed, covering her mouth in shock. "Willie Ray?" She couldn't believe it had happened. She remembered how nice and welcoming the Chief's mother had been with her last year during the Christmas Party and she felt a lump in her throat. Back then, Sharon had been feeling down for not being able to be with her children and her parents in Park City, but the older woman had known how to make her feel at ease and had made her smile with some embarrassing stories about her "friend" Brenda.

"Yeah… actually Chief found her mother dead in her bed this morning." Flynn explained with a dull tone.

"Oh Lord…" Sharon whispered as she covered her face with her hands and shook her head. "How is she doing?" she asked. She and Brenda weren't really friends, even if they had made progress, but Sharon she was still deeply and truly concerned. No one should experience such a traumatic event.

"How do you think?" Flynn retorted firmly.

Sharon looked down, taken aback by his tone. Here he is again, hotheaded and aggressive Lieutenant Flynn, she thought. She put a strand of hair behind her ear, feeling uncomfortable and Flynn sighed, rubbing his eyes as he said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you." He paused as he tried to collect his thoughts, "It's just… it's just a shocking news and…"

Sharon nodded and she stood up from her chair as she answered, "It's okay, I get it." She paused to glance at him before adding hesitantly, "I-I should go."

She was about to walk away when he stood up too and grabbed her by the hand to stop her, "Sharon, wait."

She stopped and turned around to look at him. He all at once looked lost and she could see how much the recent news had shaken him. She knew he wasn't good at dealing with his feelings and emotions, and that was one of the reasons why he always had such a hard time in controlling his anger and outbursts. He cleared his throat and whispered, "Sharon, I-I didn't mean to… I-I…"

"Andy, it's okay, no worries. Really." She cut him short with a reassuring tone while putting a hand on his upper arm. "I have to go home and change before heading to work anyway…"

Sharon swore she read disappointment on Flynn's face, but she couldn't be sure. He wasn't the easiest person to read. Without thinking any further, she took a few steps forward and wrapped her arms around him. It took him a few seconds for him to react, but he hugged her back. She could feel him slowly relaxing and she snuggled deeper into his arms, breathing his scent before reluctantly breaking the hug. She smiled shyly at him and walked to the hallway where she put on her blazer and took her bag. She turned around and saw him study her, leaning against the wall. She ran a hand through her hair before whispering softly with a smile, "Thank you. Whatever it was, I enjoyed it."

He moved to the door, opening it for her and leaning against it as he added, "Whatever it was, I'd like it to happen again."

Sharon smiled at him and moved closer to him to give him a brief peck on the lips as she whispered, "Whatever it was, it will turn out the way it is meant to be. I'll see you at work, Lieutenant."

"Sure, Captain."
