Chapter Text
Most of the time Bell usually had to make some excuses to get some privacy outside of work, but sometimes those excuses didn't work and she had Adler in her apartment. She noticed that after finally killing Perseus and shooting her in the shoulder, Adler would always try and be around her. All the time. During work and when they were at home. Or in her case, when she was home but Adler comes over and seven times out of ten refuses to leave. Like now, late at night and Bell was tired from the recent assignment they were coming back from, and still Adler wouldn't leave her apartment. Gently pushing him towards the door, Bell yawned a little. " Adler go home. I'm tired and I want to go to bed." " You can go to bed, I'll take the couch." He said as she was pushing him more closer to her front door. " Adler just go." Bell said as she reached over and grabbed his work bag, setting it outside of her door. Once he went to grab it, she closed the door behind him and locked it. " Goodnight Adler." She said behind the door and went into her bedroom to change.
Standing outside her door, Adler held his bag and rested his head against the door before walking over to his car. Inside her room, Bell removed her clothes and grabbed a towel, walking over to her bathroom and turning on the shower. Spending an hour in the shower, Bell opened the door and let some steam out as she kept her towel wrapped around her body, walking back into her bedroom. Drying her body and putting some lotion on her legs, Bell opened her closet and put on a shirt and small shorts. Opening her bedroom door and walking back into the living room, she double checked that her door was locked. Sometimes Adler had a habit of picking the front door lock and sneaking back in so she put a chair propped underneath the handle to be sure. Closing the curtains on her windows, she went back into her bedroom and lied back in bed, soon falling asleep.
Waking up the next morning, Bell opened her eyes and stayed underneath her blanket. Feeling comfy in bed, she rested her head against her pillow and closed her eyes, wanting a few more minutes to sleep in. After sleeping in for ten minutes, Bell got out of bed and went to her kitchen to start her coffee pot. Filling it up with water and replacing the filter, Bell leaned against the counter and waited for it to fill. Reaching over and grabbing a cup from the cabinet, she set it down and grabbed some sugar and milk. Walking over to the living room and turning on the tv to the news, she listened to the weather forecasts for the week. Hearing that it would be cloudy skies and cool breezes throughout the week, she thought of what she would want to do before Hudson would be sending her on another assignment. ' Maybe I'll go see a movie.' She thought as she opened her curtains to let in the morning sun, looking outside to see the sky. Hearing the coffee pot beep to signal that it was done brewing, Bell walked back and poured some coffee into her cup, adding milk and sugar to it. Stirring it with a spoon and setting it aside, she took a few sips of her coffee and relaxed a bit. Walking to the couch and setting her cup on the small table in front of the couch, Bell put her hair in a loose ponytail, the ends of her hair ending at the middle of her back. Watching the tv and listening to the news, she thought of what she could do today, other than maybe seeing a movie. Hearing a knock at her front door and looking over at the clock, seeing that it was only nine, Bell took her cup of coffee with her as she moved the chair out from underneath the handle.
Unlocking the door and opening it, Bell wasn't surprised to see Adler standing with some food. " Good morning Bell." " I didn't even finish my coffee yet, Adler." She mumbled and took another sip from her cup. " Did you make breakfast yet?" He asked as he lifted the bag of food higher. Stepping aside to let him in and heading over to the kitchen to pour him a cup of coffee, Bell got another cup for Adler as he closed the door behind him once he was in. Setting the cup on the small dining table for him, Bell sat down and set her own cup down. Pulling out the food and handing her a breakfast burrito, Adler sat down across from her and set his food down, taking a sip of his coffee. " Thank you." Bell said as she ate her burrito, Adler eating his own food. Twenty minutes later and once they both finished eating, Adler cleared up the wrappers and the empty cups. Bell had moved back to the couch, changing the channel to something else, showing a movie playing.
Even though Adler was under orders to kill Bell long ago, he instead shot her in the shoulder and fought tooth and nail for her to stay on their team. Even if Park hated it. He had conflicting feelings about Bell before he shot her but once he did, his mind clearly told him what he had been avoiding. ' You're in love. And you just shot her.' Ran through his mind when her body lied there before Woods and Mason had heard the gunshot, running over and seeing what was going on. Woods had ran straight up to Bell and used his bandana to try and stop the bleeding. Mason ran up to him and pulled the gun from Adler's hand. " What the fuck did you do?" Sometimes, even now, Adler can hear Mason's words in his head clear as the day he said it. Now, drying his hands, Adler turned around and setting the small towel down and walked over to the couch and sat next to Bell. Looking at her as she watched the tv screen, Adler sat back and set his hands on his lap. " What do you have planned for today?" " I don't know Adler. Were you planning on joining me on said plans?" Bell asked, not taking her eyes off of the tv.
Fidgeting with his fingers, Adler looked down at her body for a moment before looking at the tv. " No....." Staying silent for a few minutes, Bell turned her head to face him. " Do you really have nothing better to do today?" She asked as she moved her body to face him. " Doesn't Park usually like catching up with you when we're back from assignments?" Thinking of work pulled Adler from his thoughts as he looked at Bell, glad to be wearing his sunglasses. " I think she's out with Lazar or Sims. Do you really want me to leave?" He asked, gently placing his hand on her knee. Bell put her hand on top of his and nodded. " All I was planning on doing was just some cleaning and grocery shopping. Nothing too exciting. Just wanted to relax for however long Hudson gives us until our next assignment." Bell then stood up and went into her room, closing the door to get changed. Alone in the living room, Adler readjusted himself in his pants before she would come back. He was listening at first to what Bell was saying, but his eyes wandered down to her body and watching her go into her room. Taking a few deep breaths, Adler sat back and back, waiting until Bell was done changing. Opening her bedroom door and walking out in some jeans and a different shirt, Bell had put on her socks and walked over to the door to get her shoes. Putting them on and grabbing her wallet, she turned to Adler. " Are you sticking around?" Adler turned off her tv for her and stood up, walking over to her and opening her front door for her. " Yes." " I knew it." Bell chuckled and walked out, locking the door once Adler was outside and heading to his car.
As Much as Woods hated to admit when Mason was right, he really was right about Bell and Woods. That Woods had grown to like her before she was shot , but now, he and Adler could practically be fighting over who likes her more. Hearing those gunshots on the mountainside still gave Woods nightmares sometimes. That instead of the shoulder, the bullet hit her in the head or even her heart. Mason would sometimes tease Woods if Bell was working with them instead of Adler. Or if they were all off and they hung out as friends. Not having any missions given to either of them, Woods and Mason were at the store buying some groceries. More like Mason was just following Woods as he shopped, glancing at his phone from time to time. Though when he put his phone away, Mason saw Woods staring off at the back of a juice jug. " Must be really good if you're staring at this long." Mason told him, tapping his shoulder and seeing Woods pull back. Laughing at him a little, Mason leaned against the shopping cart.
Woods put the juice jug in the cart and shook his head. " No.. Fuck off Mason." Hearing him laugh more, Woods walked down the aisle and went to the next aisle, grabbing two different boxes of pasta shells and putting them in the cart. " Thinking about Bell again?" " So what if I am?" Woods looked at him in slight embarrassment. " I think her and Adler are back from whatever Hudson sent them on." Mason said as he leaned against the cart and pointed behind Woods, further down. Woods looked at him confused, keeping his back turned. " What are you pointing at?" Mason pointed yet again behind Woods, prompting him to finally turn around and see what Mason was pointing at. Bell and Adler with a shopping cart full of groceries exiting the store together. Woods stared at Bell as she walked with Adler, fists clenched for a moment. Feeling a hand on his shoulder, Woods turned and saw Mason closer with the cart. " You can stare at her some other time, let's finish getting what's on your shopping list." Nodding, Woods then went down another aisle and continued getting groceries.
Finishing her shopping and bringing it back home in Adler's car, Bell stood in her kitchen as she put some stuff away, letting Adler bring in the rest from the car. Adler took his time bringing in her groceries as he was thinking about earlier at the store. He had seen Woods and Mason, but since Bell was talking to him as they left, she didn't notice them at all. He had grown a bit jealous of Woods and how he was always flirting with Bell. Then again, so was Adler. Hell, they both were flirting with Bell all the time, just not in front of each other. Adler grabbed the last bag and closed his trunk, locking it and heading to Bell's apartment. Closing the door behind him, Adler set the bag on the counter and sat down at the table. " Bell, are you doing anything tonight?" " I was thinking on seeing a movie but I'm still unsure about that." Bell reached over for the last bag and put away the food that was in it.
" Would you like to see a movie with me?" Adler asked after taking a deep breath as Bell turned to face him upon being asked. " Adler, are you asking me out on a date?" She asked as she leaned back against the counter. Adler stood up and walked over to her, standing next to her. " No..." Gently tracing her fingers over his, Bell bit her lip and smiled a little. " How disappointing then. Could've been fun." She teased as she walked into the living room and sat down on the couch, turning on her tv. Adler's face went more red, but stayed in the kitchen, embarrassed at what she said. ' You had one job Adler: Don't fuck up asking her on a date. And you fucked it up.' He thought, turning to lean against one of the dining chairs for a few minutes before joining her on the couch.
Deciding to go through with watching a movie, Bell did something different as she rented a movie through her tv instead of going to a theater. Adler had made them dinner and let the dishes soak in the sink, waiting for her on the couch. Bell pulled put two shot glasses and a bottle of whiskey, setting them down on the table in front of the couch. " What's this for?" " In case we get bored. Or if you want to play a drinking game with me?" Bell opened the bottle and poured two shots, handing one to Adler. " Drinking game?" " Yeah. Like if there's something oblivious happening." Bell said before she took her shot, pouring herself another one. Adler took his hand set the glass down, reaching for the remote and starting the movie. Adler kept an eye on Bell as she took more shots throughout the movie, between both of them the bottle was almost empty. Though Adler had moved the bottle away from Bell, not wanting her to get super drunk, her body language was saying otherwise. Reaching for her shot glass, Bell felt Adler's hands gently pull her away. " I think you've had enough. Don't want a bad hangover in the morning." Adler told her as she tried standing up, but was stumbling a bit. Putting his hands on her hips to keep her steady, Adler got up off the couch, his eyes looking up and down her body. " Do you need help?" He asked as Bell nodded, pointing to her bathroom. Guiding her to the bathroom, Adler closed the door and went back to the living room to grab the shot glasses. Setting them in the sink, he started to wash the dishes until Bell was done in the bathroom.
As he washed the dishes, many thoughts ran through his mind. ' You need to be more clearer with your feelings. Don't fuck it up. Try asking her about her feelings. She's so drunk she might not remember whatever she'll say.' Finishing washing the dishes and turning off the water, Adler turned around and dried his hands, though nearly dropped the towel when he saw that the bathroom door was now open and Bell leaning against the wall near her bedroom. Setting the towel aside and walking over to her, Adler knelt down and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her up, slowly leading her to her bedroom. " The floor got closer for a few minutes." Bell mumbled as she reached for her bed. " I wanna lie down." Adler gently set her down on her bed, seeing Bell lie back against the bed and reach for a pillow. Sitting on her bed and putting a hand on her side, Adler bit his lip. " Bell are you comfortable?" Bell closed her eyes as she felt the room spinning, resting her head on the pillow as she moved her hands to try and unzip her pants. " Trying to." She whispered, feeling Adler's hands on top of hers. " Let me." He moved her hands back up to her chest as he unzipped her pants, carefully pulling them off of her legs.
Throwing her pants aside on the floor, Adler reached for one of her hands, holding it. " You're so beautiful." He whispered, using his other hand to remove his sunglasses and set them aside. Gently kissing her hand, he let go of it and got up, checking to make sure the front door was locked. Turning off the tv and the lights in the living room and kitchen, Adler went back to the bedroom and saw Bell sitting up on her knees on her bed, having moved the pillow to in front of her for support. " Bell? You okay?" " Can't unhook my bra." She mumbled, Adler biting his lip harder and walking closer to her. Sitting on the bed behind her, Adler saw that her shirt was already off as well, only her bra and panties. ' Ask her something. See if she'll tell you anything.' Adler held the back of her bra in his hands, as he carefully unhooked it. " Bell, what do you think of me?" " Handsome." Bell whispered as she leaned back and rested her back against his body. Adler let go of her bra when she lied back against him, moving his hands to where the straps were on her shoulders. " Do you think about me?" Bell carefully moved her left hand to touch Adler's leg and squeeze it lightly. " Whenever Hudson talks about you." ' Wait. Hudson?' Adler's hands froze for a moment, trying to process what she had just told him. Removing her bra and setting it on the floor, Adler moved his hands to her breasts, holding them from behind. Letting his body do the talking, his fingers went to her nipples. " What does Hudson say about me?" He whispered in her ear, gently rubbing her nipples and hearing her moan softly. After a few minutes of playing with her nipples, Adler held them firmly for a moment and kissed her neck. " He says you're too protective of me. Wants you to work with others more often." Bell said in between moans, keeping her eyes closed. Adler let go of her nipples and moved his hands down to her hips. " Hudson shouldn't be saying that to you." He said sternly, moving his hands to his own pants and unbuckling his belt. Pulling it out of his pants loop, Adler used his belt to pull Bell's hands close and wrap them in front of her. Once done, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck again. Bell felt his belt around her arms, keeping them bound in front of her, and bit her lip when he kissed her neck again. Pulling away from her neck, Adler leaned back to pull off his jacket and shirt, throwing both on the floor. Getting off the bed for a moment, Adler let Bell fall back onto the bed as he got back onto it, getting on top of her. Leaning down to kiss her neck again, Adler held her hands with one hand. Hearing her moan more, he kissed up and to her face, letting go of her hands. Gently tracing her lips with his fingers, Adler leaned in to whisper into her ear. " Do you want me to stop?" " No.." Bell whispered, opening her eyes to see the room still spinning, but seeing Adler on top of her. Seeing her eyes try and focus on him, Adler leaned in and kissed her lips, holding her head as they kissed. Making out for over twenty minutes, Adler had stopped to get out of bed, unzipping his pants. Too many thoughts running in his head, Adler decided to just stay in the moment. And this moment was a moment Adler would burn into his memory. Looking at Bell in just her panties, arms bound by his belt, horny and drunk. Getting back into bed with her, he kissed her neck again, moving his hands down her body to her legs, wrapping them around his hips. Moving her arms above her head, Bell bit her lip again. Moving his hands to her panties, Adler pulled back and carefully pulled them off of her. Setting them on the floor, he reached over for his pants and went into his wallet and grabbed a condom. Pulling his own boxers off and unwrapping the condom, he put it on and got back into her bed and wrapped both of her legs around his hips. " Do you want this, Bell?" He asked, positioning himself to rub against her pussy. Nodding and looking at him, Bell's eyes tried to stay focused on his face. " Say it." " I want you Adler." His hand went down to her nipples and lightly pinching them. " Say my name." He whispered in her ear, teasing her with the tip inside her. " I-I want you Russell." Upon hearing her say that, Adler gripped onto her legs and inserted himself all the way, hearing her bit her lip and hold back a moan. Thrusting in and out and keeping a pace for a while, both of their moans were the only sounds in the room. Pulling out and feeling how warm her body was, Adler lied back on the bed and let her get on top of him. Holding her arms as she straddled him, Adler used his other hand to squeeze one of her breasts. " Ride me, Bell." Adler said, admiring her body. Getting him back inside her, Bell began riding him and moaning more. Holding onto her hips firmly, Adler thrusted up into her faster, feeling her legs tremble. Unwrapping her arms and throwing his belt aside, he felt Bell's hands go to his face, caressing his scar as she kept moaning. Holding his head gently, Bell leaned down and kissed him passionately. Wrapping their arms around each other's bodies, Adler stopped thrusting and kept kissing her, his fingers running through her hair. Carefully pulling back, Bell looked down at him, keeping one hand on his face to touch his scar. Feeling him throb harder inside her, Bell looked down to see one of his hands go down to rub her clit, making her moan more. " Fuck! Russell!" Bell moaned as her fingers were twitching slightly from the pleasure. Rubbing her clit for almost ten minutes, Adler heard her moan more and more, enjoying every second of it. Moving his hand away from her clit and using both hands to hold her waist, keeping her still on him as he throbbed more inside her. Hearing her get frustrated, Adler smiled a little and looked at her eyes. " Do you need to cum?" Nodding her head, Bell whined as she tried to move her hips, but Adler's grip on her wouldn't let her move. " Not yet. I'm not done with you yet." By the time Adler did let Bell cum, two hours had passed and Bell was lying face down in bed once they were done. Taking off the condom and putting it in the bathroom trash, Adler put back on his boxers and turned off her bedroom lights. Getting back into her bed and lying next to her, Adler wrapped his arms around her body. ' Do not freak out in the morning. If she sees you freaking out, she'll freak out.' The next morning came and Adler woke up earlier than Bell, carefully clearing up the pile of clothes on the floor as Bell slept. He set her clothes in her closet hamper and put his clothes back on, heading into the kitchen to make some coffee for them. Thinking about what happened the night before had Adler tapping his fingers on the counter, debating on if he should even bring it up to Bell. Or maybe give her some space like she was asking for. Once the coffee pot was done and he poured himself a cup, Adler sat on one of the dining room chairs and just stared at his cup for over an hour. Hearing a knock at her front door, Adler panicked for a second and almost dropped his cup on the table. Holding it and going to the door, Adler unlocked it and opened it a little, seeing Hudson standing there. ' Shit.' " I'm not surprised you snuck into her apartment. Again." Hudson said as he handed him a folder. " Park's requested your help with whatever Sims and Lazar are doing. Told her you'd be there by noon today." " Today?" Adler asked, taking a sip of his coffee. ' I just fucked Bell's brains out for over three hours and Hudson really wants me to just leave? She's not even up yet. I haven't asked her if she-' " Adler are you listening to me?" Hudson snapped his fingers in his face, causing Adler to blink a few times and open the door a little more. " Am I really needed?" " Adler just do your job. Bell will still be here for you to sneak in like this when you come back. Alright?" Hudson said as he leaned against the door frame. Adler drank the rest of his coffee and put his cup in the sink, putting on his shoes and heading to the front door. Closing it behind him, Adler followed Hudson to the parking lot, seeing he parked next to him. " I'll call Park once you're on the road and let her know your on your way." Getting in his car, Adler bit his lip as he started it, driving off. Hudson stayed in his own car for a few minutes, watching Adler leave and then calling Park.
