A/N: I'm still Creese. I SWEAR it. But this thing grew on me. I had to wrote it. Someone will like it, someone else won't. Thanks for reading anyway. If you want to share your 'two cents' after reading it I'll be very happy!

I have to thank StarJelly and earthdrago who helped me out to correct and improve this story. Obviously all the mistakes left back are MY fault. Sorry, but English is nor my first nor my second language!

Two badges and two guns are weekly lightened up by the pink dawn coming in from Tidwell's bedroom windows.

The upper sheet is at the foot of the bed, partially covering an empty box of condoms and a pair of regulation handcuffs are left open on the floor: two busy bodies have kicked these and the blanket out of their way during the night.

Right now he's on top of her, moving his body rhythmically back and forth, sliding slowly in her, enjoying the pleasure of giving her pleasure.

Dani's nails deliberately trail a path from Tidwell's bare buttocks up to his back reaching his head at the end, steadying it better against her lips and her tongue.

He groans into her mouth from the pleasant sensation he gets from her gesture.

She dips her hands in his long and soft red hair, playing with it.

"Why don't you wear your hair like this everyday?" whispers Dani, breaking the deep kiss and pushing a lock away from Tidwell's blue-green eyes.

They have slept together for eight weeks, but Dani hasn't got used yet to see his hair looking so nice and so different after the evening shower in comparison with how it looks in the morning at work.

"Because I'd be irresistible, and you'd be jealous of me" he teased, smiling slyly while increasing the pace. He sensed somehow that now she's in need of a hard fuck.

This is the thing that makes Dani crazy about him: Tidwell always seems to know what to do with her, what her needs and her demands are. He has always seemed to know that.

So Dani closes her eyes and lets the pleasure rise with his thrusts.

Tidwell does all the right things just at the right moment: banging her savagely he rudely tells her in a rough murmur how much he wants her; temporarily reducing the speed he softly kisses her throat; then thrusting again, deeply into her, he takes her at the height of the pleasure, and after licking her earlobe he whispers directly in her ear "Come with me, Dani..." and they explode together, grasping, squeezing, crying, moaning, panting.

Then he kisses her gently before collapsing near her on the mattress, caressing her skin, burying his nose in her hair.

Nobody has ever had the talent to make her feel wanted not only before, but after the sex.

Tidwell always treats her like a princess. And she got used to it soon.

"'Better go have a shower now, or we'll be late to work…" murmurs Dani after a minute.

"Oh, I'm sure your boss will understand" smiles Tidwell

"Saying 'we' I meant 'you', because I'm going to have the shower first, so when I'll reach the station my boss won't be there yet!" says Dani freeing herself from his embrace and sitting on the bed.

"Dani, I think we have to talk about that…" Tidwell's eyes suddenly become serious as she turns to face him.

"There's nothing to talk about" Dani cuts him off "You don't like lies and I don't like lies, and I especially don't like lying to Crews" Tidwell makes a grimace but Dani pretends to not see it and goes on "And I don't like being 'Dani and Kevin' in bed and 'Detective Reese and Captain Tidwell' out of bed, but what else on Earth could we do? Do you want to ask for transfer? Because I don't want to transfer, that's for sure…"

"No, I think there's another solution…" says Tidwell looking straight in her eyes.

Dani raises her eyebrows "And what it would be?"

"Marry me."

She frowns "…What?!?"

He seems to go blank "…What…?"

THE END
