Well, basically everyone knew that they were a couple but the team kept quiet because they didn't know how Becker would react. He loved Jess but an official relationship might still scare him off, so they kept it a secret for Jess' sake.
In the ARC Becker and Jess tried hard to hide their commitment, but no one could be fooled by the looks and smiles they bestowed on each other. And like before every now and then Becker would bring his sweetheart a treat, like chocolate or coffee. Jess loved the attention.
Outside the ARC they weren't quite that careful though.
They shared a car, Becker always held the door open for her and if you were lucky, and you saw them in town, you might even catch them holding hands.
That day Jess woke up in his apartment, his bed and what is way more important in his arms.
She snuggled deeper into his warm chest and closed her eyes again. It could go on like this for forever! She drew a deep breath and felt so safe and relaxed.
Becker sighed.
"Good morning!" His answer was just a muffled grumble as he pulled Jess closer to him.
Jessica smiled to herself and kissed his bare chest. Another low grumble came from his side.
"Becker, I've got to get up." She whispered and tapped her cold fingers onto his chest. He only pulled her closer, nearly suffocating her.
"I know, but Lester will be furious and since I know that you wouldn't want to explain why I am late, I guess, I should just get up…" and with these words she wiggled herself out of his supportive strong arms.
She already had one foot out of the bed and onto the carpet as Becker caught her and pulled her back, wheeling her around so that she was lying under him. The blanket covered them.
Their lips met and he kissed her fiercely, demanding. Her tongue explored his. A warmth was spreading all over Jess body that made her started in her stomach slowly crept down her spine and raised goosebumps on her slender arms. Her breathing became heavier and she wanted more. The kiss now deepened.
Becker let his hand slide down her body, from her shoulder over her breasts down to her butt very slowly and Jess had troubles thinking straight.
Becker felt all his nerves tingling as Jess writhed under his body.
All of a sudden Jessica bit into his ear and quickly jumped out of bed. She giggled.
"Hey, what the…" Becker sprinted after her and caught her on her way to the bathroom. She laughed as he pulled her up under her thighs and pressed her to the wall, kissing her deeply. He chuckled between two kisses.
She felt his groin pressing against her thigh. Her blood was rushing as she felt his desire.
If she let him go on she'd never get ready.
Jess could only stop him by putting her index finger in front of his lips.
"I'm gonna go get ready and you make breakfast!"
"I could also come with you and help you getting dressed." He bit into her finger.
"I think that would be contra productive!" She smiled. Becker rolled his eyes and reluctantly let her go.
They sat in Becker's jeep, snogging. This felt so damn right to both of them.
Jessica sucked in his scent. She moaned:
"May I remind you that this is becoming obvious?" Becker's lips moved from her jaw to her neck. The smooth lips next to her ear made Jessica shiver. She closed her eyes.
She wanted him to touch her. Her head swam and it felt like falling, falling through a starlit sky, but it didn't matter because she knew he'd be there to catch her. His warm breath tickled her ear:
"I could stay here all day long!"
"Me too!" Jessica's eyes were still closed in enjoyment. "But Captain, then I'm afraid, I have to leave all the cover stories up to you…"
Becker's head rested on her shoulder. Jess' fingers played with the hair on his neck.
"Maybe we should make it official…"
