Conclusion

Blue eyes happily took in her home as she strode behind her beloved. The housekeeper had taken possession of her overnight bag despite the tall woman's protests. The small blonde was holding a wiggling Mario who was trying to get his chance to greet the tall woman.

They entered the bedroom and Rosie said quietly, "Ok, lay down on the bed…"

"But…"

"Robin," growled the small woman. Even Mario stopped wiggling when he heard it. He snuggled close and licked her chin.

Robin smirked and shook her head, "Ok, Yeash I…"

Rosie pointed and Robin walked to their bed and sat down on its edge. "Satisfied my pretty tyrant?"

"I just want you healthy. I'm not being a tyrant. Please scoot back and get in the bed. I'll let you play with Mario."

"I know all that, that's the only reason I'm obeying you." Robin said with smile as she scooted back and took off her jeans and sneakers and slid into bed. "I rather play with you then Mario." She said invitingly patting the bed.

"Play with the puppy first he wants to say welcome home," said Rosie releasing the puppy who immediately got into the tall woman's lap licking her face happily. Robin giggled and hugged the puppy. Once she calmed him down she settled him on her lap and petted him looking up at Rosie she said quietly, "Am I allowed to go to the bathroom all by myself? I doubt I could seduce you right now. I'm sure you wouldn't like to kiss my face with puppy saliva on it would you?"

Rosie was enjoying this playful side of Robin. "Yes, you can go to the bathroom." She said with wide grin and then added, "You never can tell what I'd like to kiss on you, as long as it is on you." Then she winked playfully and left Robin with a surprised expression on her face. She whistled and shook her head. She lifted the dog off her lap and walked toward the bathroom saying, "That woman never stops surprising me."

She washed her face and brushed her teeth, then feeling better she went back to bed to see the puppy patiently waiting for her. "Now Mario lets make a deal, you can get all the pets and tickles you want but no licking my face that's Rosie's territory."

Robin had fallen asleep with Mario curled up against her when the phone rang. Robin grabbed the receiver and answered it sleepily, "Hello."

"Next time you die," said the disguised voice on the phone then a loud click.

"Damn it all to hell!" Said Robin angrily waking the small puppy up. Feeling his mistress's mood he jumped off the bed to his doggy bed in the corner. Mario was a gift from Robin to her housekeeper but really Mario was her puppy by his pure devotion. She dialed a number by heart and said in a growl, "Ang, did you get that?"

"Yeah, but it was too fast I couldn't get a line on it yet."

"Bring it to an audio expert and see if they can get a fix on the real voice. I want to know who it is as soon as possible…"

"Who the hell was that? Why did you answer the phone?"

Robin looked at the angry woman in the doorway and said quickly to Angie, "Call me with any results as soon as you get them, bye." Then she hung up and held her hands out as if protecting herself from a frontal assault. "Now Sweetheart, I did not leave this bed except to go to the bathroom. Pinkie swear," she said with a comical look.

"Robin," Rosie crawled onto the bed next to the sheepish looking woman and said in soft but firm voice, "If you don't spill it I will not be giving you the welcome home I was planning to." This was really her only weapon though she wasn't sure if it would work since she wanted make love to Robin as much as Robin wanted to make love to her.

"My, my, my you are a tough little girl aren't you?" purred Robin as she gently stroked the beautiful blonde hair.

"Come on Robin," She felt herself beginning to cave in already but she tried to remain resolute.

"Tough, smart, sweet and of course beautiful," said Robin softly as she pulled Rosie closer. She gently kissed her love along her neckline as she watched the resolve start to fade from her face. She was going to tell Rosie everything but it was fun to tease her a little first. "I love this side of you because it's so new. Did I ever tell you how sexy you were when you're determined to protect me?" The tiny gentle kisses were making a very definite impact on Rosie's emotional armor.

Rosie was very aroused but she asked with determination, "Tell me who it was, Love?"

"Of course I think practically everything single thing you do is sexy. Just watching you make dinner or brushing your hair and cleaning your teeth set me on fire," whispered Robin as she pulled the earlobe into her mouth sucking on it sending little lighting bolts through out Rosie's body.

Rosie knew she wouldn't be able to hold out much longer Robin was now licking the rim of her ear which always made go crazy. She gripped the sheets tightly and whispered in strangled voice, "Who was on that phone damn it?"

Robin was now determined to make love to her sweet protector so she quickly replied, "The enemy threatening me. Don't worry Ang is on it…Come on my love, give. I want my desert now."

Rosie pulled back to meet dark blue eyes that looked scorchingly into the dark green. Robin smiled seductively as she saw how aflame those beautiful eyes were and Rosie pulled Robin to her kissing her passionately. Robin was very happy her fingers were busily undressing her love as Rosie just as deftly removed Robins T-shirt and panties. They were now exploring each other's bodies completely out of control. Warm mouths tasting skin hands explored every inch the mouths couldn't reach till they both tumbled off into a happy oblivion together.

*** *** ***

Exhausted blue eyes met soft green eyes as they cuddled together in their bed. Robin wouldn't admit to even herself but the events of the last week had gotten to her. She was very tired; Rosie could see it as she gently caressed the soft cheek above her, snuggling her head against Robin's breast.

Robin smiled sweetly and said, "I love you so much, Rosie."

"I know, I love you just as much."

"I promise all this horror will end soon. All I want is our normal lives back," said Robin as she bent to kiss the crown of Rosie's head.

"It will be over because Pete promised me."

Robin grinned and pulled back so she could look into Rosie's eyes, "Did he now?"

"Um, Yep I…well we…I kind of…"

Robin chuckled and said, "You have us all wrapped around your little finger… Good. That's the way it should be." She kissed Rosie again and was more determined then ever to end all this now. Rosie shouldn't have to go through any more of this crap, She thought to herself as she pulled the smaller woman even closer.

Pete was in the interrogation room with one of his best detectives grilling the prisoner, frustrated as hell.

This bitch knows there are all kind of charges against her and she wants them dropped before she says anything. Like hell we will, He thought to himself determined to make sure that this viper paid for what she did to his friends.

"Well? Do we deal or do I continue to say nothing?"

"No deal."

"Fine."

*** *** *** *** ***

"NO!"

"Come on Rosie, she will be on the other side of the room. There will be prison guard with her and Pete will be there too."

"No! Never. I won't allow it."

"What can she do to me in a prison cell?"

"Jump you!!" Rosie was beside herself. Her face was red and Robin could see that she was making herself sick, she was so upset.

Robin gathered the now shaking woman in her arms and held her close, "Shh, calm down. She won't jump me. She is not that stupid. Even if she did I could easily take her. I'm not scared of hand to hand against her she would lose."

"I don't care! I don't want you to go. It's in police hands let them deal with her. You wouldn't listen to me about the stake out and you almost got killed I…I couldn't take it…please…"Rosie broke down crying against Robin's shoulder.

"Shh, please try to calm down your going to make yourself sick," Robin was drying her tears with her hands trying to calm her love down with her voice. "Love come on please listen to me." Slowly the tears slowed down and two red rimmed green eyes met determined blue. "Will hear me out?" Rosie nodded. Robin smiled and kissed her cheek. "Thank you. Now how about easing up a bit on me, Little one. I need to close this so we can get on with our lives. Let's be fair about it." She kissed the little cheek and looked sweetly at her love.

"All's fair in love and war. I'm in love with you and I'm going to protect you."

"I know and I appreciate it. I love you and want to protect you too." Said Robin as she kissed Rosie's nose and then with a wicked smirk she licked it.

"Eeek! Robin!!" Rosie cried indignantly as she wiped it with the back of her hand giggling.

"That's so much better. I like to see you giggle and be outraged. I hate it when you cry. It hurts me deeply."

Rosie looked into the pale loving blue eyes and shook her head with a sweet smile. "Ok, I'm open minded. It better be good though," She said with a determined look.

Robin gently pushed the blonde bangs out of the eyes she loved and replied very quietly, "I need to end this. The police can't get anything out of her because the law restricts what they can say and do. I'm not. I know all the buttons to push and I can intimidate the hell out of her. I really am not worried about facing off against her, little one. That bullet was not meant for me and if I were microsecond quicker it would never have gotten me at all. She will not have a weapon and the police will be in the room with me. I know I can get her talk. I manipulated her as my employee and now I can use the same ammunition as her enemy. Sweetheart this is the only way to end this. Please understand."

"Ok…you can go…"

"Thank you," Robin said kissing her passionately. When they pulled back Rosie held up her hand and said, "One thing, I'm coming too…"

"No!!"

"Yes!"

"No way."

"Then you can't go."

"Be reasonable, Rosie. I don't want you near that viper. You are the one she is really after not me."

Rosie brought the tall woman even closer and said, "If I stay behind the mirror with a policeman can I go?"

Robin pulled back and chucked her chin saying, "You've been watching too many cop shows."

"Is it a deal?"

Robin nodded, "Yeah it's a deal. Come here my little toughie," said Robin with a wide grin as she kissed her love deeply.

Katherine Planes was in her chair waiting for the next round of interrogations there had been a lot of whispering in the last 24 hours so she knew something was up. She knew she still had the upper hand. They said they would make no deals but they couldn't do anything physically to her so she just had to keep up her wall of disdainful stubbornness till her friend completed her mission. She had changed it after Robin got shot; now it was either destroy or kill Rosie. Either way she would win even if she did end up spending the rest of life in prison.

She watched as the door opened and her eyes widened in shock. In strode Robin who looked annoyingly fit and beautiful in a black power suit that fit her like second skin. The icy blue eyes looked deeply into hers with pure hate. The gaze was too powerful she not only couldn't turn away but she was turned on much to her own annoyance.

"Good evening Katherine, That orange jump suit looks well on you." Robin purred at the woman as she leaned on the wall across the room from the seated woman. Part of the deal with both Rosie and Pete was to stay well away from the bitch though every instinct said to tear her limb from limb; She stayed put and kept her word.

"And you look annoyingly healthy. I thought you were shot?" She leaned back and crossed her legs determined to ignore her body.

Robin looked exactly as she did in a boardroom like a cultured, sleek and dangerous corporate shark. She smiled but it did not reach her eyes as she replied quietly, "Your shooter is a terrible shot. She hit my shoulder. Besides from what I was told she was aiming at Angela not me."

"How the hell did you know that the shooter was a woman?"

A feral smile graced the beautiful face and she said quietly, "Well I didn't but now I do. Thank you that helps narrow down the field." She said hoping the police observer was already on the phone with that information.

"Manipulative Bitch, just like in the office. You knew how to play us all so well. Except that dumb blonde. I knew that girl would be trouble the minute they hired her. She was so damn sweet and too damn pretty. I thought she would be too mild for you but I see you prefer mild mannered boring blondes, huh?"

Robin's nostrils flared and her voice deepened when she replied, "Rosie is neither boring nor mild. In fact she never stops surprising me. I can easily see why she bothered you so much. Beauty and brains two things that you lack completely."

Rosie blushed and closed her eyes in the observing room. When they opened again the policewoman with her smiled and handed her a glass of water.

"Listen you bitch, I would have had that little twit running for the hills if it wasn't for your untimely arrival. I'd say that makes me sharper by far as for looks…"

"I have news for you, even if I hadn't been witness to all that cruelty she would have stayed. She is not only sweet and kind but she is the most determined person I know. Once she is committed she never gives up. Her only fault is that she is terribly shy and that will disappear with experience. You on the other hand lack everything except a minimal skill at some forms commerce which I found useful. I found you to be an excellent puppet…"

"I am no ones puppet!!!"

"Really? How do you explain you doing everything I told you to do? I just had to talk to you in the right way and you were pure putty. I found that useful but rather disgusting, I do so prefer people with a backbone."

The woman staring back at Robin was speechless. She couldn't throw anything back because she realized the dark woman was right. She stood up and was about to lunge at Robin when Pete stood up and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I wouldn't if I were you."

"Why, cause you're her puppet too?"

"Nope, because she is my friend. She will also rip you into tiny little pieces if you lay a hand on her. I made her promise to stay put but I can't guarantee anything if you attack her."

Robin chuckled at the statement and crossed her arms though inwardly she was preparing herself in case the bitch got past Pete. "To be honest you should be grateful to Rosie. If she hadn't distracted me with her charm and beauty I would have fired you. My falling in love with her allowed you to remain in your position. In fact if you hadn't started this vile campaign against my Rosie you would still be employed."

"I don't believe you. Why would you have fired me before? I did my job."

"Inefficiency, too much time on office politics and not enough on our clients. I'm a businesswoman I look at the bottom line. If it hadn't been for Rosie you would have been thrown out on the street right on your bony ass the moment I came home from Asia."

"No you need me."

"I do? What do I need you for?" Robin walked to a corner of the room and sat in one of the guest chairs. She crossed her long legs and tilted her head waiting for a reply.

Katherine stared at her devastated. She looked at the beautiful woman now with pure hatred mixed with a driving lust. Robin looked like she was casually sitting but she readying herself for attack. She brought her leg down and stretched her arms over head so she was almost in a defensive pose. She was now ready if the woman came across the room and attacked her.

The crazed woman wanted to beat her down and then rape the tall beauty to show that she was the more powerful one. She suddenly vaulted over the desk and flew at Robin. With a quick movement Robin was up on her feet and Planes was flat on her butt on the floor with Robin's High healed shoe at her throat.

"Tell me who the God damn shooter is or I will just press…"

"Not… going…to …jail… too…"stuttered the prone woman.

"Oh try me? Who?" Said Robin increasing the pressure slightly. Pete was beside himself he knew that Robin could claim self-defense but not if she killed her.

"Robin!"

Robin never broke eye contact with the woman on the ground and she increased the pressure. She knew she couldn't do more and prayed the bitch would crack. "Who?"

"Laran Turner…Laran is the…"

Angie stepped into the room; "She is an old girlfriend of hers under surveillance. Let her go now, Robin."

Robin's face reflected disgust but she released her. Pete and the guard grabbed the prisoner and took her out of the room.

Rosie rushed in and gave the tall woman a bear hug. "Are you ok, Sweetheart?"

Robin allowed herself to sink into the warm hug and said quietly, "I am now."

*** *** *** ***

Robin was hosting a company barbecue in her large back yard. It was one week before tax season so she decided to throw this wingding to celebrate the arrests and then give her staff the week off. Which of course gave her and Rosie a whole week to play and relax.

Robin and Rosie were in the kitchen working on a huge tossed salad for the staff.

"Of course when we come back were all are going to have to work our asses off."

Rosie handed the salad to Pete and started to unwrap other cold dishes to be taken out to the hungry member of their staff. "That's true but we will have this peaceful week to reflect on while were all stressing out at work."

Robin laughed as she carried two small trays and put them on the large picnic table the food was on. Pete was wearing a big floppy hat happily doing the barbecuing and Angie was sun bathing. Mario was curled up against her another new conquest under his furry collar. The company doctor Stan was under an umbrella at one of the tables flirting with some of the administrative assistants.

Once Planes had cracked she sang like a canary. She and her ex-lover were charged with stalking and attempted murder. Katherine Planes had several harassment charges pending against her from both Rosie and Robin's accounting firm. Robin talked the judge to begin proceedings after tax season so it won't hurt her business.

The two women left the staff again to get more food and some ice. Robin led Rosie into the garage where she kept the extra refrigerator for the ice. Once through the door Robin pulled Rosie into her arms and kissed her passionately closing the door with her elbow.

When they pulled back Rosie asked with a shy smile, "What was that for?"

"Saving my life," said Robin sweetly bringing her back so she could kiss her cheek. Then she kissed her way down to the sweet neck.

Rosie enjoyed sweet assault on her senses as she asked quietly, "How did I do that?"

Robin stopped and pulled back again looking into the green eyes deeply as she said, "Because if you hadn't come along to bring me such joy and cause me to fall helplessly in love with you I might have ended up just like Planes."

"Never!"

"No, not the crazy or cruel part of her that would go against my character. I am a manipulator though until you came into my life and changed the course of it. I would have continued on that path to do who knows what damage."

Tears slowly fell down the soft cheeks as Rosie asked quietly, "What could I have done to help you? I don't understand."

"You loved me…actually to be honest I think I fell for you first. I saw you before you saw me and I tumbled…you opened my heart. I watched you be so brave in that staff meeting and all I wanted to do was hold you and comfort you and I didn't even know you except on paper. You made me see through your beautiful green eyes a better, gentler path. I'm so grateful. Thank you." Said Robin humbly tears falling down her cheeks now as well.

"There is no need to thank me, it was mutual. You saved me too. You saved me from a life of ordinariness. You not only gave me your love but you helped me find a sense of self that I was never able to find. I would never have felt so capable if you hadn't made me feel like I could do anything. I love you so very much."

They smiled at each other and kissed. Angie smiled as she stood in the doorway, then she cleared her throat and said, "I do hate to interrupt but we do have thirsty people out there."

"Mmm?" Robin mumbled as she continued to kiss the love of her of life.

"Drinks? We need sodas, lemonade, some ice. You were going to get it all."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Robin asked pulling back so she could focus on her friend's words.

"The drinks." Angie said miming drinking something.

"Oh, oh yeah," Robin laughed as did Rosie. "Um, sorry old girl we got a bit side tracked. We'll bring it out in a second."

"Um, perhaps I should then you could…"

Robin face suddenly took on a wicked smirk, "Excellent idea Ang, Everything is in that fridge. You bring it out and tell our guests we have an important conference call. We'll be out a bit later," Said Robin pulling Rosie up the back stairs toward their bedroom.

"Conference call?"

"Well a conference anyway."

"What kind of conference?"

Robin winked, "A very intimate one. You and me, naked in here," she said as she opened the door to their bedroom and locked it behind her.

"Oh that sounds lovely," said Rosie as she playfully ran out of Robin's reach.

"Yes very, very lovely," said Robin as she jumped over the bed and got the love of her life in her arms bringing her as close as possible.

"What about our guests?"

Robin started to untie the halter under Rosie's hair, "Let them go find their own conference," she purred as she released the ties and the entire dress slipped of the nubile body in front of her.

Rosie was working on Robin's shorts as Robin took off her own tank top when the hot flesh touched it lit a fire that no one could put out.

*** *** *** ***

"Ang, What kind of conference call can they be having on Sunday afternoon?" Asked Stan as he watched Pete playfully flip the hamburgers on the grill.

Angie smiled at her friend and said, "Oh Doc, It's a very important one. I think it will take a while why don't we play hosts till their done."
