A/n it's been such a long time since I wrote anything for Ashes to Ashes so this is just to get back into it. As ever Kudos and BBC own all. I own nothing - no copyright infringement intended nor should be inferred. Please review.

Not like this

Alex glared at her desk. She was furious. More that furious, if that was possible. She ignored the pointed look from Sam as he ushered the rest of the team out of the offices. Fenchurch East CID had just completed their biggest case so far so Sam had taken Ray, Annie and the others off to celebrate. Another piece of scum behind bars. She closed her eyes, mentally chastising herself. She was even beginning to sound like their bull headed boss. Sighing she pushed her chair away from the desk in front of her before turning to watch her boss through the open windows of the office.

"Darts!" She shook her head as he ignored her, throwing little arrows at the dartboard she knew had Jim Keats photo on it. "We crack the biggest drugs case this decade and he's playing bloody darts! Gene." She smirked as she watched him. She knew he was well aware she was watching him. He always knew. Carefully he threw the next dart, ignoring her. She didn't care. It was rare that she got to watch him without being distracted or caught. She'd been there for nearly five months and didn't think she'd ever tire of watching him.

"Bolls!"

"I'm er."

"Get your bony arse over ere." Gene yelled from the doorway as she closed her eyes for a moment. Seconds later she was in the office as he closed all the blinds. "Alex."

"Guv."

"You ok? Bolls?"

"Fine Guv." She smiled as he closed the gap between them. She sighed, biting her bottom lip as he backed her towards the office wall, out of sight of the cctv or the main entrance to CID. "Sammy boy taken everyone to pester Luigi?"

"Yeah." She rested her hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat beneath the pale blue shirt.

"Good." He kissed her gently, holding back. It was all too new. His newest DI was as mad as a box of frogs as far as he was concerned but he had fallen for her. No way he'd admit it to the rest of the team. Alex slipped her hands under the fabric of his shirt as he pulled her full against him. The kiss grew more passionate, hands sought out skin as he pushed her white leather jacket to the floor. His tie soon followed as her hand touched his belt. Gene stooped slightly, kissing her neck as he pulled her hand away. Each time they kissed things grew more heated, he knew the inevitable was going to happen and so did she. Alex sighed as her eyes met his.

"No."

"Gene, I."

"Not ere and not against some poxy wall in this filthy nick." His breathing forcing his words out with difficulty.

"I thought you wanted to." Alex glanced down, almost shy as he made no move to step away.

"Alex." His voice low.

"I thought you wanted me." Her voice quiet as he touched her face, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"Of course I want you. You have no idea how much I bloody want you. But not here. You're too special to be a shag against a bloody wall." Alex smiled slightly.

"Take me home, Gene."

"What about?"

"Molly's away with the school. Home tomorrow." Alex watched as Gene nodded.

"My place." He grabbed his car keys before leading her out of the station.
