"Have I ever told you how sexy you sound reading someone their Miranda rights?"
Chantelle throws her head back against his shoulder with laughter. "No, but you have now."

"Hey, uh, some guy named Larry Schumer said he's here to see you."
Chantelle blinks, pleasantly surprised that he actually came in on his own. Seems like Taehyung was wrong after all. "Oh shoot, I forgot he was supposed to come in. Um, can you put him in an interrogation room and tell him I'll be there in twenty minutes?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Thanks Andrea."
After the line goes dead, she nudges Taehyung's shoulder. "Larry's at the station, we gotta go."
"Larry?" Mrs. Jeon's eyebrows shoot up. "You guys are talking to him? Is he a suspect?"
"Not right now, no." Detective Taylor shakes her head. "But he might have some important information regarding the case so we still want to talk to him."
"Thank you for your time." Taehyung nods politely as the two detectives stand up from the couch. Hana walks them out, sending Taehyung a flirty wink before he walks out the door.
It seems like Chantelle's attempt to save Taehyung only deterred her for a short period of time. Bummer.
"I made it out of there alive, thank god." Taehyung scoffs as they walk towards the elevator, making Chantelle laugh.
"She looked like she wanted to eat you or something." She says in agreement. "Has she always acted like that towards you?"
He nods, stepping inside the elevator and pressing the button for the first floor. The other detective follows him in. "Ever since she hired me. She's persistent, that's for sure."
"Not your type?" Chantelle teases, tucking her thumbs into her waistband.
"Not at all." He shakes his head. "Plus, there's someone else I have my eye on now."
Chantelle turns her head only to see Taehyung staring at her. He's leaned up nonchalantly against the side wall of the elevator, arms crossed in front of his chest. There's no shame in his gaze as he looks her up and down and as if to emphasize his point, he slowly licks his lips.
Her knees are about two seconds away from buckling.
"Keep your eyes to yourself, detective." She brushes him off, quickly averting her gaze from the tempting sight.
No one this attractive has come onto Chantelle this strong in quite a while. And she'll admit, it's making her hot and bothered. But she has more important things to focus on right now, like getting back to the station so she can interview Larry and get one step closer to solving this case.
Taehyung simply chuckles to himself, knowing damn well that what Chantelle really wants to do is climb him like a tree. But it's okay, she'll give in eventually. The chase only makes it more fun.
As soon as the elevator arrives at the first floor, Chantelle steps out. It was starting to feel suffocating in the small room with all of that sexual tension.
