Lucy Pyre Coffee Shop AU - by Em O'Rald

Part 3

The next time she saw Leon in the coffee shop, he was even more agitated than usual. He was glued to his phone, having a long and angry conversation with someone on the other end. Lucy couldn't understand what they were talking about, all she heard was something about some kind of "outbreak." Was he a doctor? That's no matter. Instead, Lucy's mind drifted to how he was hotter than usual today. Maybe whatever stressful thing he was dealing with was making him sweat more.

"Here you are, a plain black coffee," said Lucy, handing his drink to him. She had drawn a couple of hearts on the cup surrounding his name. 

"Oh, it's you," he said gruffly.

"Why is your order so plain today? Usually you get something more involved," asked Lucy, eager to start up a conversation. She wanted any excuse to linger for a little bit longer and take in more of his smell. Plus, it was a slow day and there was nothing else to do.

 "No time, I got a serious situation to deal with. Hey, be a doll and go fetch me some creamer and a straw, will you?"

Feeling slightly demeaned yet slightly turned on, Lucy went and brought over the items. Leon poured in some creamer and started stirring while still talking on the phone. Feeling curious, Lucy eavesdropped on the conversation.

 "There was a hostile local, I had no choice but to neutralize him. There's still others surrounding the area."

Neutralize? That didn't sound like something a doctor would say. What is going on?

"No, nobody noticed," he continued. "Listen, if this gets out of hand we're gonna have one hell of a situation."

Leon looked up and noticed Lucy staring. But before he could open his mouth to say something, there was an explosion outside.

"Fuck. Get down!" Leon yelled. He kicked over the table and pulled Lucy down behind it, barricading themselves from the windows as glass shattered across the room. He took out a gun from a holster on his hip and began shooting at something outside. Lucy squirmed as she heard the guttural shrieks of what sounded like a dying animal. This was quickly followed by shrieks from the surrounding pedestrians, yelling something about a monster.

Lucy had more pressing matters to think about, however. She was stuck in a headlock, her nose planted firmly inside Leon's armpit! She could feel his strong muscles pulsating with masculine energy as he ducked in and out of cover, letting off rounds from his pistol. Her panties were soaked.

"Hand one of those over to me, I have a gun license."

The voice was Sally's. She was hiding behind the counter as she called out to Leon. He gave a quick nod, took out another gun from its holster, and slid it over to her. Wait, how many guns does he have? Before Lucy could ponder that question for too long, though, there was another explosion. She saw the table flying straight towards her, and then everything went black.
