Based on the rookie TW: WILL CONTAIN SMUT! Lucy's spent four months telling herself it's enough. Chris is kind. He's steady. He's... fine. But fine doesn't keep her up at night wondering what she's missing. Fine doesn't explain why every time they're together she has to pretend - pretend she feels something she simply doesn't, pretend the disappointment isn't crushing her every single time, pretend size doesn't matter, that effort doesn't matter, that being left wanting every single time doesn't slowly hollow you out inside. It's not his fault, she tells herself. He's just... small. In every way that counts. And Lucy - quietly, achingly - is tired of settling. Tired of faking it. Tired of leaving every encounter feeling empty and unseen. Until the night she finally walks away. Until the night everything changes. Until the man she's loved longer than she's been willing to admit shows her exactly what she's been craving all along - passion, depth, intensity, and a connection so overwhelming it leaves her breathless and completely, utterly satisfied in a way she never even dared to imagine was possible. For the first time in her life, she doesn't have to pretend. She doesn't have to lie. She doesn't have to settle. But when morning brings more than just happy memories - when a sudden, terrifying realisation changes everything - Lucy is left wondering: was it worth it? Or has she ruined the best thing she's ever found, before it even truly began? (IF U CAME FROM MY ONESHOTS CONTINUE FROM THE CHAPTER NAMED ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK)

Lucy Chen had been having bad stomach pains all day and her T.O Tim Bradford told her to suck it up

Tim's mouth was on her neck before she even got her jacket off, Lucy's back hitting the wall of the hallway as she tugged at his belt. "She'll be home in thirty minutes," he muttered against her skin, and Lucy just laughed softly, already wrapping one leg around him. "Then we'll be quick." It was almost mechanical at this point - familiar and practiced, like they'd done this a hundred times before because they had. Tim hitched her up, and Lucy's fingers dug into his shoulders as she guided him exactly where she needed him, no hesitation, no fumbling. She'd stopped feeling guilty months ago; now it just felt like routine, like something built into both their schedules that neither of them questioned anymore. He was rougher than he used to be - less careful, more impatient - and she didn't mind. When he pushed into her she let out a breath that was more relief than surprise, her head falling back against the wall. Twenty-eight minutes, she thought, and then stopped thinking altogether.

Sleepy ,clingy Tim wraps himself around his wife whispering names , showing how much he can't bear to let her go. Even for a moment.

What if season 3 episode 9 of The Rookie went differently? What if when Lucy was "confessing" her feelings Tim did too?

short stories of chenford!

They call Tim Bradford a fortress in uniform-sharp edges, strict rules, no way in. At Mid-Wilshire, everyone assumes he's riding Lucy Chen hard because she's a rookie who needs to be humbled. What they don't see are the fractures Lucy hides beneath the badge. She's cornered, exhausted, and running out of ways to keep the pieces from falling apart. When the truth finally surfaces, it doesn't just test policy-it tests loyalty. And Tim must decide whether he'll remain the unbreakable wall everyone expects... or step across the line to protect the one person who slipped past his defenses against all odds. !This book WILL contain smut so this is your warning!
