Chapter 1

The night was already falling on the city when she was leaving the office of the morgue.

-You should get some rest Miss James, tenderly said Julia the young woman sitting on a little further steps and dive into a book, you do not learn anything more tonight.

-You probably right, she sighed , I would resume this chapter tomorrow.

They smiled and the youngest of the two stood up, she put the book on the desk and so at the same pace they left the place.

-Are we share the same carriage? Rebecca asked, turning to Julia once in the street.

-No, I have to see if my husband has still for long, she said, pointing to the lights in the office of William, thank you. Make good road.

-Thank you, good evening Doctor.

-Good evening Miss, Julia replied smiling before seeing her head towards a carriage and gives the driver the address.

Then, with a sigh, Julia joined the police station. She crossed the open space before stopping in the doorway of William's Office. He did not notice her right away, fondly looking at him furtively. She especially loved those moments, those where he did not notice that she was in the room with him to see in his every move. She knew he often did the same for years, and even married today, they could not help themself. One like the other.

Concentrated to read newspaper, William was sitting at his desk and noticed Julia when she gave some blows on his door. He looked up at her and smiled widely as he left his office to bypass as she entered the room.

-Still a lot of work tonight? She asked tenderly looking at the mess on the central table.

-I am afraid so, said William arriving next to her.

-You do not therefore come home with me, she whispered, pouting while stroking the tie of her husband.

-I am sorry, he replied in the same way by plunging his eyes into hers without being able to help put his hand on hers.

-Pity, sighed Julia on his lips approaching, I have so wanted to spend an evening in your arms Detective.

-Julia not ...

He did not finish the sentence she kissed him tenderly, slipping her arms around the neck of the young man to deepen their kiss. He took her by the waist when they already separated to catch their breath.

-Perhaps I couls kidnap you, she says with a laugh on his lips.

He shook his head from side to side and she still stroked once his lips with hers. But this time, William stepped back.

-Not here, he whispered, here I am Detective Murdoch and you are Doctor Ogden and we ...

But once again he left the sentence on hold, this time it was because of the look full of mischief addressed to him by his wife. He saw that little spark mischievous sparkle in her blue eyes, he saw that hint of desire. He saw her moisten her lips and smile while leaning her head to the side. He could not resist this view and a second later, he sealed his lips to hers for a long, deep kiss.

-Do comes too late, she whispered breathlessly.

-I have yet to conduct an interview and I come.

-Well, Julia nodded playing with William necktie, I will try to be awake. And if that is not the case, she continued stroking the chest of her husband, please not hesitate to do so.

-I'll try to remember.

They even exchanged a look, a smile and a kiss before Julia get away from William and leaves his embrace.

-Seen you later, she launched into the doorway, smiling.

-Seen you later, William replied simply already looking her away on the open space.

Giving him a last look full of promise, Julia did not see the man who came in front of her and she struck violently.

-Oh, excuse me, she said, crossing his eyes as soon as she's selected by hand to prevent her from falling, I did not see you.

-This is alright Madam, he replied, smiling at her before releasing her hand.

They were silent a moment, eyes plunged into that of another. Julia smiled, then she walked away from him without a word, yet, she was upset and she did not know why. Hoping that her husband did not see that exchange, she slipped quickly without even looking behind her, eager to return the hotel to take a bath and relax at last.


Julia had spent a pleasant evening, a light dinner, a hot bath, an interesting book and she had fallen asleep against her later. Yet, when a body lay against hers, a long smile stretched on her lips. She wrapped her arms around the neck of the young man leaned over her and she felt his breath on her lips.

-Go back to sleep, William whispered tenderly leaving a hand caressing her hip, I do not mean to wake you.

-Wake me up, Julia moaned sleepily while pulling him against her, please.

He did not answer, just looked at her a moment before looking to her for testifying tender kisses on her neck, on top of her chest while his hands caressed her on her entire body. Julia already met its assaults and while she reared, he removed her nightgown to continue to afflict her this sweet torture for several minutes before they are perfectly awake and they both burn the passion they felt at that moment.
