Summary
Carla Connor is a Manchester Mafia Boss, which means she's in charge of nefarious activities AND the people carrying them out. She's a hard nut to crack, but if anyone can, then it's Lisa Swain from the Organised Crime Unit. Taking the assignment as an undercover copper, Lisa's worked her way into Carla's organisation. But can she work her way back out again before falling for our Mafia Queen or exposing her true identity?
This was a "thing" I mooted on tumblr and for those three people who wanted it - here it is!
I'm proceeding with caution when it comes to this story. I have *plans*.

Summary
“Doesn’t your husband do most of the work?” Carla asks, eyes widening as soon as she realises what she’s said. She scrambles immediately. “Sorry. I meant… Well. Not that women can’t— Oh god. I’m making it worse, aren’t I?”
“Carla, it’s fine… But there’s no husband. The farm’s mine. I do have a couple of staff who help me out though.”
“Wow… Must be hard work,” Carla says, blowing out a breath.
“Why? ‘Cause I’m a woman?”

Summary
“So, you want one then?” Lisa asks, proffering the bag she’s had stashed under the table, "I was hiding them from Ryan and Betsy."
“Nah, wouldn’t want to deprive you, we both know how much that pretty mouth likes to be kept occupied,” Carla hums, running her thumb over Lisa’s bottom lip before pressing the candy cane back between them.
Lisa cocks her head, eyelashes fluttering as she stares up at her. “Yeah?” She says breathily, not missing a beat, “I can think of plenty of other ways you could keep it occupied.”
(Or: It's Carla's first day back at work after christmas, and Lisa's feeling especially needy.)
