I'm sorry this is so short, there will be more soon :)


Jack couldn't help but kiss her back. The alcohol, the excitement and their topic of conversation had made him very aware of his surroundings, her beauty and his longings. Her hand had remained on his thigh and he found his hand wondering across her back and through her hair.

They remained like this for 5 minutes before Jack pulled back slightly panting. "Phryne"

"Yes Jack" she murmured but didn't stop kissing him, she decided she never wanted to stop.

"Should we be doing this?" he had pulled her away from his body, her hands were still around his neck smoothing circles into his tense shoulders.

"Dot and Hugh just got engaged, we shouldn't be stealing their limelight." He was trying to find better words, but struggled, he knew she would laugh at his turn of phrase.

He was right, her hands dropped away from his body to cross over her own and she started laughing. Their limelight she thought as she laughed, Hugh and Dot were the most innocent people she had ever met, she did not think them the kind to hate her and Jack for kissing. Anyway, they were only kissing in her parlour, not standing in the middle of the police station kissing (yet she thought to herself slyly). She looked up from her laugh to catch Jack looking at her with a very serious look on his face; this quickly brought the end of her laughing. She looked into her lap as though trying to calm herself down, deep in thought. She supposed she could understand what he was getting at, just the way he said it…

She composed herself enough before nodding deeply and adding "Who says anyone needs to know?" she raised her eyebrows and pouted her lips in a way which he really couldn't resist.

Jack took a second to think about this, the alcohol not helping him at all, before her face got to him and he leaned over and began kissing her deeply once more.


Eventually he had left. Much much later, it was early morning actually. He told her he didn't think they should do that just yet, but was more than happy to sit with her pressed to his body on the love seat kissing her passionately. It wasn't until he arrived home to his cold and empty bed that he wished he had stayed. But it was too late for that now, he was home alone. They had agreed to keep their relationship, relationship he thought to himself with a small smile, something of a secret from the rest of the world. He wasn't sure how long that would last though with Miss Fisher as the other party, but it was worth trying. He could only imagine what wicked things she had planned for them. With the thought of her he lay and bed and dreamt only sweet things for the first time in a long time.


She had agreed. She knew she couldn't have all of him yet, but this was a promising start. When he had left she found herself longing for him to stay, an emotion she rarely associated to men. She didn't just want him to stay for physical reasons either. This shocked her slightly, it also frustrated her. Agreeing to keep Jack a secret meant that he wouldn't be staying over any time soon, which also disappointed her. But then he was right, Hugh and Dot were the shining beacons of love at the moment, they were already planning an engagement party for their families (after several bottles of wine), which heavily involved the pair of them. She couldn't help but think that the two people they both admired most getting together could be anything but inspirational, but could understand why Jack wouldn't see that. She could imagine his face if she told him that, but it was easier to play his game, that way she could have him, well some of him anyway. She sighed heavily as she pulled off her clothes dropping them on the floor around her. At the same time, she couldn't help but think he was using that as an excuse not to get to close to her too fast. With that thought she flopped into bed and had dreams filled with Jack and the various places she planned on doing naughty things with him in secret.


She awoke early the next morning to find Mr Butler opening her curtains.

"Dot not feeling too great this morning?" she said trying not to laugh, she herself was not feeling that great. Between the 5 of them they had drank quite a lot. The five of them, that's right Jack was there last night. She remembered their agreement with a secret smile before turning back to listen to Mr Butler.

"I think young Dorothy just wants some extra rest before she calls on her mother this afternoon." Mr Butler said, hoping to not give too much of Dot's headache away.

"Of course." she said with a knowing smile, "I will bring her a tray of tea and toast to help her rest." She finished as she jumped out of bed, quickly tying a robe around her before following Mr Butler into the kitchen picking up the tray he already had laid out on the kitchen table for her.

"I think I will skip breakfast this morning Mr Butler. Just some coffee and then I must be off to the station."

"Of course" he said with a small nod and started to pour her coffee.


She knocked politely as Dot did for her before entering the room and placing the tray on the bedside table before taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

"Good Morning Dot" she said softly.

Dot opened her eyes slowly as though she couldn't believe Miss Fisher was sitting on her bed and bringing her breakfast. "Miss" she said questioningly rubbing her eyes and sitting up.

"Don't worry about today Dot, you have the day off and tomorrow too if you like. Whatever you need, just let Mr Butler or I know and it will be fine." She finished with a smile and got up off the bed making her way to the door. As she got to the door she turned around with a brilliant smile "Congratulations Dot" and with that she was gone.

Dot never thought she would live to see the say when her employer would deliver her breakfast in bed, but she ate it all the same. Miss Fisher was acting strangely she thought as she bit her toast, maybe she was just caught up in the excitement she thought with a smile and tried not to giggle at the thought of her miss in love.


Committing a relationship in secret? Are ya'll down for that? Let me know :) :) Also I really want to thank Love to read a book for all these fine ideas, such a babe!
