Chapter 1

A Small Apartment On The Far Side Of Town

The night was dark and cold, the hour was growing late as she stood outside the door trying to decide if she should knock or just pick the lock and go inside. The wind suddenly picked up accompanied by a driving rain making her decision easy. She fumbled a minute with the lock finally springing it and turning the door knob she opened the door quickly stepping inside closing it and flipping the lock behind her.

Leaving the lights off not to draw attention she  headed towards the living room of the small apartment tripping over a pair of shoes on her way almost landing on the floor. "Francis,"  she cursed silently under her breath as she continued down the hall towards the bedroom.

Standing in the doorway she let her eyes focus to where she knew he lay sleeping. She knew she was taking a chance coming here but it was a chance she needed to take.

She had watched her husband from her surveillance point as Dhara McGuire the club's owner and their suspect had begun making advances towards him. The fact that Gage was playing along to get close to her in order to break the case was what was hard to watch. She had gone home running in, slamming the door behind her, her heart pounding in her chest. "I'm not going to let this bother me Gage," she repeated to herself wandering through their house not bothering to turn on any of the lights. She went through their bedroom into the bathroom reaching for a book of matches on the vanity, striking one she began lighting the scented candles she used when she needed to relax. She filled the tub with hot water pouring a generous amount of bath oil in, she striped away her clothes stepping into the water.

She tried to relax but her mind wouldn't let her it kept going back to that simple kiss, that simple show of affection Gage had bestowed on that woman's cheek. How his hand had moved up her back and he had leaned in to whisper something to her.

Reaching down she pulled the plug from the bathtub before standing to wrap a towel around herself. Slowly she rubbed her hands over the towel as she dried off her mind conjuring up pictures of her partner with that woman. "Stop it," she demanded, "Just stop it."

Walking into her bedroom she reached for her phone intending on calling him. She dialed half the number slamming the phone down crying, "Damn it Gage."

She scurried back into her clothes, grabbing her keys she headed back into the night. She must have circled the building for an hour or better before building up enough nerve to park her car and get out. Now here she stood listening the rain tapping the window, listening to his quiet breathing as he slept.

She kicked her shoes off stealing quietly towards him letting her jacket slip down her arms to drop to the floor. Again she stopped to stare at him as he lay on his back the covers pulled to just past his waist. In an almost hypnotic state she reached for the bottom of her t-shirt and pulled it over her head letting it slip from her hand to the floor. A shiver passed through her, her hands going to her waist to undo her pants pushing them down her thighs to the floor so she could step out of them.

Gage turned slightly mumbling in his sleep to fall on his back again her heart near skipping a beat. "No changing your mind now Sydney," she chided herself shivering from the cold and nerves. Her hands moved to her bra unclasping it letting it fall from her body her eyes never leaving her partner. Pushing her panties down she stepped out of those too to stand naked. Moving forward she lifted the covers and slid into bed with her partner.

She lay unmoving anticipation grasping at her. Sucking in a deep breath she rolled to her side bringing her body up against Gage's his arm unconsciously sliding around her drawing her near. A small shudder went through her from his touch encouraging her to swing her body over his, her legs to straddle his, her center resting there. An involuntary moan escaped her, it had been a very long dry stretch since she had lay this way with him. This case was beginning to take it's toll on her.

He moved beneath her sending an almost electric shock like wave through her and she found herself moving with him biting her lip to silence the moan that was trying to escape her throat. She bent her leg drawing it upward to rest against his sac as she let her hand rub down his body in search of his manhood. Grasping tightly to the all ready hard organ she let her hand play up and down it stopping to tease the tip listening to Gage begin to experience the sensations.

Sliding her body down his she quivered as the hot emotions inside of her gave way to her actions, as her lips moved down him, her mouth opened capturing him to suck greedily on him.

"Sydney," he whispered out to her from his sleep totally at her mercy at that moment giving over completely to her desires. His senses slowly began coming to life as did the realization that this wasn't just a dream that she was actually there making love to him.

He reached out for her taking her from what she was doing to move her up to him, to clasp her to his chest his arms clamped around her holding her not letting her move.

"What are you doing here Syd?" he whispered to her.

"What's wrong?" she managed to get out terrified this had been a mistake.

"Nothing's wrong," he murmured back rolling them over pinning her beneath him. "Absolutely nothing is wrong."

His hand quickly went to her face to gently caress her cheek as his lips began to flutter kisses across her forehead against each eyelid against her lips. His thumb gently rubbed across her bottom lip his tongue teasing her until she finally yielded to him tasting his kisses letting her senses come alive.

Her body tingled as the kissing continued and his hands began to explore her. She tried to lay still, tried to take command back, tried to hide her eagerness but it was an impossibility.

"Gage I…"

"Tell me later Honey," he softly spoke his mouth covering hers his hand moving down her body once again.

"Umm," she slowly mumbled as his hand cupped her breast his fingers pinching her nipple, and his lips began their slow descent down her neck. "Umm Gage," she murmured her eyes closing her back arching as his leg went between hers rubbing gentling against her wet center.

His eyes closed as he drank in the sweet smell of vanilla her favourite scent knowing she had enjoyed a warm fragrant soak before she had joined him. He wished he had been there with her, the candles burning as she lay up against him while he gently sponged her shoulders his lips teasing her neck.

He pulled her closer wanting her all the more nibbling on her shoulder sliding down her body to bring his hungry mouth to the erect nipple of her breast biting down gently on the nub.

"Gage… stop," she gasped out desperately wanting him, needing him yet not willing to let him control her this time. Bringing her hands flat against his chest she pushed him hard rolling him to his back and off of her. "Right now I want you. I want you to know that you are mine, no one else's and I don't share," she firmly told him her leg going over him once more to straddle his mid section.

Leaning forward she took hold of his wrists pushing his arms above his head letting her breast brush up his chest the hard buttons teasing him.

"Syd…"

"Quiet you," she commanded swooping in for a kiss, covering his mouth with hers, her tongue probing deep. "Wipe the smirk off your face Francis," she ordered squeezing his sides tight with her knees, she couldn't see his face in the dark room but knew the smile would be there.

Moving to his neck she softly began biting until she reached his shoulder stopping at his collarbone to suck leaving a mark. "Just in case there is any question that you belong to me," she told him covering his mouth again before he could speak.

She slid her hands down his arms to his body once again trailing her lips down his neck, across his chest stopping long enough to lave her tongue over the hard nipples on his chest. She listened to her husband moan softly letting her tongue wash down the center of his chest to circle around his navel. Again a low moan escaped him and he cried out, "Syd," as once more her hand captured him.

"Gage?" she playfully questioned just before taking him deep into her mouth.

"Babe," he cried out his hands going to her hair holding her feeling his own body moving with her. And when she thought he could bear it no longer she pulled herself up to rise above him to lower herself on him.

His hands went to her waist as she moved slowly on him. "Feels good Gage," she murmured just before her senses and emotions took over sending her into a wild frenzy of action. She leaned back riding him hard crying out, she could feel his hand his fingers teasing her probing into her folds. Her hands grabbed his wrists as they climaxed together and she fell to his chest bathed in sweat panting against him.

"I've missed you too Honey," he told her between laboured breaths. His arms went around her and he gently stroked her hair.

"You sure didn't look like it earlier tonight," she whispered.

"Sydney if that was the case she would have been here in my bed not you," he softly replied. "My feelings for you never change they just grow stronger. No other woman on this earth will ever change that for me."

"Even if I was to die?" she asked.

"Syd don't talk that way," Gage chided her a small chill passing through both of them.

"Gage you have to think of the kids if something happened to me you would have to find them a new Momma," Syd persisted.

"Knock it off Syd nothing is going to happen to you."

"You don't know that you have to promise me that you will look for someone else."

"If it will get you to stop talking about it I will," he quickly told her rolling them over planting his lips on hers her words still haunting him.

"Gage," she snapped out.

"Shh, its my turn to have you," he whispered. "And I intend to have you until the sun starts shining in the window. It is going to cost you for sneaking in here like this."

"I like the sound of that," Syd purred her arms encircling his neck feeling a small shiver begin as he let his tongue play on her neck catching her earlobe and sucking.

His hands went to either side of her face holding her rubbing his thumbs across her bottom lip while his own lips brushed across her forehead. "I love you Sydney," his husky voice caressed her before his lips were on hers, his tongue plunging deep inside her mouth in a fierce kiss.

She felt his hand move down her body grasping her waist as his leg pushed hers apart. "Gage," she gasped out her body beginning to twist against his her desire building to another high. She felt his hand roam down her slender form, rubbing over her hip and she purred softly. She felt his hands move beneath her cupping her behind, squeezing it, kneading it, heating her want for him beyond anything she knew.

Gage could feel Sydney's want and desire radiating from her to him. His warm moist tongue began moving down her body to her naval, circling it, teasing inside of it causing ripples of pleasure within her. Syd clawed madly at the bed sheets, Gage and what he was doing to her was all that mattered right now.

Slowly his hands moved from beneath her, moving over her legs until they reached her inner thighs, rubbing his hands over her he gently parted her legs. She tried to reach for him, but Gage quickly caught her hands and tucked them beneath her, bending to kiss her tummy at the same time he murmured, "No way Syd, not this time."

"Umm Francis," she moaned.

"You are so beautiful Sydney," he exclaimed just before his mouth descended on her center, his tongue massaging every part of her until she could with stand no more.

Smiling to himself he slide up beside her folding his arms around her. Gage continued his assault on her, kissing her face, her neck and her shoulder a moment later he entered her. She was moving under him wanting to give him as much as he was giving her, her lust for him once again driving her over the edge.

"God Syd," came a loud moan from Gage giving one hard thrust into her, spilling inside of her as totally satisfied as she was.

He lay on top of her, his arms still around her holding her tightly. Finally still panting he rolled on his side pulling her with him.

Curling up beside him Syd gently kissed his chest and moving her hand to caress his face she whispered to him, "I love you Gage, I always will." A moment later the sun came peaking through the windows.

Outside the apartment as the morning began to dawn a lone figure sat in a black sedan eyes still focused on the apartment door he had seen Syd disappear inside the night before. He pulled his phone out and began to dial letting it monotonously ring until it was picked up on the other. "Tell the boss she stayed all night," he spoke to the other end of the line.

"She says you know what to do that he's hers and you are to eliminate the competition."

Smiling he clicked the cell closed setting it down to pick up his gun that sat on the seat beside him, checking it making sure it was ready to do the job.

Sydney had just slipped into her jacket ready to go when her husband grabbed her once more holding on tightly to her. "Man I don't want to let you go," Gage told her his lips resting at her temple.

"The simple solution is to solve this case and come home," she teased grasping on to him a little tighter too.

His hands rubbed up and down her back before his arm slung around her shoulder pulling her to his side to walk to the door with her. "Tell Chris and Piper I fully intend on being home for their martial arts tournament next week."

"Okay Gage I will. They are both going to be happy to hear that they have really been worried you would miss it."

They walked slowly towards the door Syd reaching for it and opening it. Gage pulled her back up against him holding her close again. "God I don't want to let you go this morning," he whined a small nagging feeling of fear for her starting to surface.

"Gage I have to go, I shouldn't even be here," she answered standing on tiptoes to kiss his cheek neither realizing that they were being watched.

"Get out of here before I won't let you go," he told her a boyish grin coming across his face as he gave her behind a sound slap.

"You're going to pay Francis," she gasped out a look of surprise on her face as she took off down the steps towards the car.

She got half way there when Gage called out to her, "Hey Shorty."

Turning to see what he wanted Gage watched in horror. A loud bang had sounded followed by Sydney crumpling like a rag doll to the ground.
