Parker fell on the mattress, sweating and panting, exhausted but still with a smiling widely. She took a deep breath and looked at the man beside her, who just like her was breathing heavily. Pulling the sheets up to cover her naked body, she lay on her side and Eliot turned his head to look at her, grinning.

"That was amazing, wasn't it?" Parker said

"No," he replied and Parker frowned, "it was perfect."

She moved closer, laid her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. The first time they lay like this was two months ago, and even though they had promised they would stop they kept coming back to each other. It had been nothing more than two people comforting each other after a hard day, but then it turned into something both wanted and needed.

"Are you gonna stay over tonight?" he asked her.

"Yeah…unless you want me to leave." Parker said, raising her head enough to look at his eyes.

"Why on earth would I want you to leave?" he told her. She shrugged and lay back on his chest again, arms tight around his waist. "You can stay here forever if you want to."

"Oh be careful, I might take your word on that." she said.

The moment was interrupted by a phone ringing. Parker instinctively reached out for it, still with her head on his chest she pressed the 'accept' button and spoke to whoever was calling.

"Parker? What are you doing with Eliot's phone?" Sophie spoke on the other line. Parker sat upright quickly, the sheet still tangled around her body, Eliot watched her every move with curiosity. She whispered 'Sophie' and then pointed at the phone on her hand and said 'yours'. He merely shook his head and sighed heavily.

"Hi, Sophie!" Parker replied, trying hard to come up with an excuse to explain since none of the team knew about what was happening between them "I…I stayed over 'cause I…I had a bad dream and well? You know nightmares suck so Eliot was kind enough to let me stay and I thought this was my phone."

"Oh…well can you come over now, we have work to do." Sophie told her. Parker prayed to God it had been convincing enough for her friend. "And bring Eliot over, too."

"Yep, we'll be there soon." she said as hang up quickly, immediately getting up from the bed pacing nervously around the room. Eliot, not even bothering to get up, just eyed her with a smile on his face, despite her being almost at the verge of a breakdown. "Oh god, oh god, oh god we're so screwed. We are."

"Parker, calm down." he said. Seeing how much she was freaking out, he finally got up from his bed and approached her, taking both of her hands between his to make her stop pacing. "They don't know anything, relax, okay?"

"But the excuse I made? About the nightmare? How stupid was that!" she complained. "I could have said that I had set my apartment on fire and that would have been more convincing."

"We'll figure something out, tell them you broke into my house and I tried to kick you out but you wouldn't leave, does that sound better?" he said.

"I think so…" she said. He held her in his arms, trying to calm her down even for a little bit, her head rested on his chest. He did it, even if he was freaking out too. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't freak out like this. I know I've said that I'm tired of hiding, but I don't know if I'm ready to tell them, either."

"It's okay, Parker. Don't worry. I told you we were gonna take this one step at a time." Eliot told her.

"And if they figure it out?" she murmured against his chest.

"Then we'll…tell them." he said. She raised her head quickly. "But only if they figure it out on their own."

"That sounds good." Parker said. "Okay yeah, sounds like a good plan."

"Do you wanna go back to bed now?" he asked her.

"Sophie said she needed us now…"

"We could tell her there was a lot of traffic." he whispered, pulling away to look her in the yes. She recognized the mischievous look in his eyes and the way his body was reacting to her closeness, remembering they were both pretty much naked.

"Is that all you think about?" she asked jokingly and he merely smiled. "We have to go to work, Eliot."

"Alright. If that's what you want." he said and pushed himself away from her and she pouted at the sudden lack of contact. "I'm gonna take a shower. You can join me if you want to."

Parker followed him suit, grinning as he pulled her inside the bathroom and closed the door behind them.

They were an hour late to the meeting, the too much traffic excuse successfully convinced the whole team.
