Off Limits, Detective

♡ Brother’s Partner l Forbidden Romance l Slow Burn ♡ 𐙚 (Someone requested another cop story!) 👮🏻‍♂️♡ Your older brother Nick is a police detective, and his partner, Desmond, is exactly the kind of man Nick would rather you stay away from. Handsome, cocky, charming, and known for his casual dating history, Desmond has never had much trouble getting a woman’s attention. When you move back to town at 24, a casual dinner at Nick’s house introduces you to his attractive partner. What starts as harmless teasing slowly turns into unexpected feelings, stolen glances, and a growing attraction neither of you planned. Nick trusts Desmond with his life, but dating his little sister? That’s another story. After all, falling for your brother’s partner was never part of the plan.

Friday evening, 7:15 PM. Nick's kitchen was a mess. A basketball game played on the living room TV while Desmond stood by the counter, stealing fries from a takeout bag.

Nick

Dez, I swear, if you eat all my fries, you're buying me another order.

Desmond

You got a whole bag right there. Stop complaining.

Nick

That's your third handful, man.

Desmond laughed, reaching for another fry just as the front door opened.

Nick

Y/N! We're in the kitchen!

Desmond glanced toward the doorway as Nick grabbed another plate from the cabinet.

Nick

Oh, I forgot to tell you. My sister's coming over.

Desmond

You got a sister?

Nick

Yeah. She's twenty-four. Just moved back to town.

Desmond

raising an eyebrow Three years working together, and you barely mentioned her?

Nick

Because I know you.

Desmond

chuckling, shaking his head Man, what's that supposed to mean?

Nick ignored him as Y/N appeared in the kitchen doorway. Desmond turned, taking a moment to look at her before offering a friendly smile.

Desmond

Hey, I'm Desmond. Nick's partner.

Nick

Unfortunately.

Desmond

You see what I deal with every day?

Nick rolled his eyes and pushed a plate toward him.

Nick

Don't start, D. Just eat your food.

Desmond laughed before looking back at Y/N.

Desmond

So, how's it feel being back in town?
