Author's note:- Three chapters based on "Walking on water" Series 3 Ep3/4. First part centred on Grace and "Maria", Second on Boyd and Tynan and the last just a fluffy sum up of the whole thing! Rated for Sexual content, language, adult themes yada, yada, yada. I own nothing.

Opinions are like – Part 2 – A Matter of Pride

"You really think that fucking weirdo Lovell is innocent?" Tynan asked as he and Boyd watched the forensic techs remove the mutilated body from the cockle bank.

"I think there's no proof either way, Grace doesn't think he did it, she doesn't think the way the women were killed fits with his personality."

"God how do you work with all that psycho-babble bullshit?"

"It's not bullshit it's a very useful way to help us understand the people we are looking for." Boyd replied keeping his tone even and trying to quell the anger rising in him. He knew a lot of his fellow officers thought profiling was a waste of time, years ago he'd have agreed with them. He'd have rolled his eyes and ignored it but since he'd been working with Grace he'd changed his mind and it wasn't because she was the love of his life.

"God what's happened to you Boyd? You used to be a hardnosed copper now you're fucking a psychologist you've gone soft on us? Don't get me wrong she's a fine looking woman I wouldn't mind a bit of that myself but..."

"Tynan shut the fuck up that's my wife you're talking about."

"Exactly my point. Were you so desperate to get into her knickers you had to put a ring on her finger? Does she make you analyse everything before she lets you fuck her? You really..."

"I said shut up!" Boyd interrupted turning to face the other man who at that moment he hated with a vengeance. He wouldn't let anyone, let alone a man like him, talk about Grace the way he was "You know what I was desperate to get Grace to marry me because she's the best thing that ever happened to me. You don't think I know the way slimy bastards like you look at her? I know you'd give you right ball to have a night with her and you know what it would be worth it. She's not just gorgeous she's the best lover I've ever had but you know what? She's a million things more than that. She'd eat you for breakfast in the course of one conversation. She's razor sharp with a brain that never ceases to amaze me, she beautiful, she's loving, she cares about people with a passion that we could all learn from and she's all mine. If I ever get the hint that you have thought about her like you just did let alone actually talked about her I'll make you regret it for the rest of your miserable life. Understood?"

"Boyd it was just a bit of banter I..."

"Understood?"

"Yes ok. Yes understood."

"Good now I've got a job to do since you screwed it up so completely in the first place." Boyd said firmly walking away from the other man suddenly desperate to get back to base, to set Frankie to work on the body and see his wife.

"Grace? Grace where are you?" Boyd called taking the few steps down into their unit two at a time. "Grace!"

"I'm here Boyd what the hell, where else would I be?" Grace replied her tone light until she actually took in the sight of her husband. "Peter what's wrong you look frantic."

"I've just left a body with no head or hands with Frankie and given her an hour. You're coming with me." He said firmly taking her hand and leading her toward the small room they used to hold visitors before interview. It was perfect for what he had in mind. Windowless with a lock on the door.

"What do you mean you left a body with Frankie? Boyd what the hell has gotten into you?"

"You know we were talking last night about my possessiveness and your insecurity?"

"You put my mind completely at rest darling why are you locking us in the most depressing room in the entire unit?" Grace asked catching the glint in his eyes as he backed her toward the wall and knowing she couldn't stop what was about to happen even if she wanted to which she surprised herself by realising she didn't.

"I'm feeling possessive." He said quietly before his lips collided with hers. She had no idea what had happened in the few hours since he left home to head back to the coast and she headed for the unit but whatever it was it had him possessed. His hands were everywhere, pushing her cardigan off her shoulders, breaking contact long enough to pull her sweater over her head. "god you're so beautiful I am the luckiest man in the world."

"I'm pretty damn lucky myself." Grace gasped as he kneaded her breasts through the fine lace of her bra smiling at the way she moaned at his touch.

"I want you Gracie. Right here. Right now."

"Really I'd never have guessed."

"Teasing? I'll have to put a stop to that." Boyd groaned as she loosened his belt making short work of his button and zip pushing them around his ankles. "I do love it when you're thoughtful enough to wear a skirt to work."

"Oddly enough my wardrobe choices aren't dictated by the likelihood you're going to take leave of your senses and pin me to a wall in the middle of the day." Grace smiled as he finished pushing her skirt around her waist and removed her panties.

"Jesus Grace you're so ready for me I love that I can do that to you."

"You can do it without even touching me of course I'm ready...oh god yes...move Peter I thought you said you wanted me."

"I do and I'm going to take you, I'm going to make you cum so hard you'll be seeing stars for an hour..." Boyd replied kissing her hungrily as he started moving hitting all the right places inside her to have her hurtling toward oblivion in moments. He loved how it felt to be inside her, loved how they fitted together, how she told him how much she loved him between cries of pleasure and urgent instructions. "Cum for me Gracie show me how much you want me too, show me what I can do to you."

"Don't stop...please Peter I'm so close."

"You feel amazing Grace, so tight, so hot fuck I love you, I love this, us, you're so beautiful I love that only I get to see you like this."

"Peter...oh god...oh...oh...yes..." Grace cried her body coming apart tightening around him milking him for all he had as with a triumphant cry he exploded inside her.

"I love you I am so proud to call you my wife you know that don't you?" Boyd said quietly pulling her back toward him as she finished redressing and smiled at him.

"Umm I know. I'm proud to be your wife what brought on this bout of possessive lust though?" Grace asked looking up at him searching his eyes for any hint of what had upset him.

"Tynan."

"Tynan? The original detective in the Lovell case?"

"Yeah we were talking and he made some less than pleasant about profiling and about you or rather what he'd like to do to you..."

"Oh god Peter you didn't hit him did you?"

"No I was tempted though. I just told him if he even thought about you again I'd make him regret it. But it got me thinking you're not the only one who gets insecure at times. I needed to feel you, touch you, remind myself that men like him can fancy you all they want but you're all mine."

"And I always will be all yours. I love you now are we ready to get back to work?" Grace asked kissing him again as she was struck by the fact for the second time in as many days someone outside their relationship had made them both remember just how perfect it was.
