Okay so since I recently started the Salek M rated fic I decided that I loved writing it. I loved it so much in fact that I decided I was going to do another. Word on the street is that Sean gets shot on May 4th's episode of Nikita and since Michael just asked Alex about her feelings for Sean were in the last episode here is my take on what is to come. Please review if you have time or if you just feel like telling me what you think :D

XOXO,

Nikki

Disclaimer: I do not own Nikita only my strange stories and/or fantasies. (Trust me if I did Salek would have definitely happened already.)

"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."

-Kahlil Gibran

Love is bittersweet. Love is blind. Love is stupid. Love is a whirlwind of emotions. Love can be a firestorm that consumes. Love intertwines itself with our lives, our feelings, it changes us…makes us better or worse. When a bullet pierces the chest of someone you are close to your whole world turns upside-down. Hearts can be broken; anger tends to fade, and an overwhelming 'what if' feeling can take over.

It was like time had completely stopped. Alex had been on many missions and there was no one better suited for this undercover job than her and Sean. It was supposed to be simple. Pose as a couple, get the materials that could be used to make a nuclear bomb away from the bad guys, and then come home. Easy, right? Then why was Sean on the ground with a bullet hole and losing way too much blood?

Alex needed to think before help came. At what point had this cover job escalated into a real relationship between her and Sean? Just last night when he had told her he loved her she could not say it back. Now that he was bleeding out from the gunshot wound, so close to death, she could not stop repeating those three words eight letters over and over. At what point had this mission started to go horribly wrong? She remembered when she first heard about the mission from Michael, Nikita, and Birkhoff.

"Michael it is just a simple kind of job we've done hundreds of times before" she heard Nikita say exasperated.

"They know your face Nikki. It's way too risky" Birkhoff added and Michael nodded in agreement.

"Well then who else is going to do it Michael? You have to pose as a couple, figure out thousands of details, and control your emotions. Besides since you and I are a real couple it makes selling the story way easier" Nikita tried to reason.

"How about Boyscout and Russian Superspy?" Birkhoff added comically.

"No" Michael simply disagreed. He remembered talking to Alex in the car about her feelings for Sean.

"Ha Alex and I pose as a couple?" Hearing himself being mentioned Sean finally decided to contribute to the conversation.

"For once I agree with Sean. If I pretend to be his girlfriend his ego will grow even bigger…if that's even possible." Alex joked.

"I'm just saying you wouldn't be able to handle it Alex. It has nothing to do with my ego, just my experience" Sean added.

"Is that a challenge?" she asked her eyes brightening up.

"Fine if Alex is so dead set on doing this mission just to prove me wrong then we'll do it." Sean said secretly happy. His and Alex's plan to go on this mission would be a success. Now they just had to keep selling it.

"Nikita we are doing it whether you want us to or not" Alex said playing the part perfectly.

"Fine if you and Boyscout shut up already!" Birkhoff practically screamed and everyone nodded in agreement.

So their plan had worked out and they were going on a mission Sean and Alex walked off to pack happily meeting in the hallway to discuss what just happened

"When you eavesdropped earlier you didn't say it was a mission where we have to pose as a couple Alex."

"Well I'm so sorry they didn't scream that part when I was listening. What's wrong with being a fake couple? Do I repulse you or something Sean?"

"You know you don't but I have only been on one mission like this and the cover didn't work. My partner died."

"Well we'll just have to play the part really well."

She could scarcely breathe as he pushed her against the wall and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. Shudders ran through her as she felt his hot breath at her ear and heard him exclaim "Chemistry was never a problem with us."

He was close so close to her face and he remained there taunting her. When she finally couldn't take it she grabbed his face and kissed him so roughly he swore he saw stars. Each one was battling for dominance as tongues were thrown into the equation. Her hands crept down to the bulge in his pants and squeezed eliciting a moan. Before it could be taken any farther she bit his lip, pulled away and exclaimed "No playing nice is the problem."

She blew him a kiss and walked away leaving him excruciatingly hard and stunned. He went off to chase her and prepare for the mission just like she wanted.

Now in the present time Alex couldn't help but think that she and Sean were doomed from the start of this mission.

To be continued…
