A/N:

This was supposed to go at the start of chapter one but I forgot (!). I started writing this fic during season 4 but I kept putting off posting it because it's a little different than the other fic's I've posted. You'll notice that the chapters in this fic are (a lot) shorter than my usual length of chapter; It wasn't intentional it's just how the story has evolved. Thanks for taking the time to read it; like everyone who posts stories I really appreciate it when I get reviews!


Two weeks earlier in the alley behind Kerrigan's Bar

'You sure about this?'

Her answer was to pull him toward her and meld her lips to his.

He pressed her up against the alley wall as he tangled a hand in her hair increasing the pressure of the kiss, demanding more from her. She parted her lips allowing his tongue access and felt him take it without hesitation. She began to pull out his shirt from his trousers swept up in the moment and the passion that had taken them both by surprise.

She felt his hand slide under her T Shirt and begin to caress her bare flesh, rising slowly until she could feel his thumb brush across her breast through her lace bra. She moaned into his mouth and she felt his response as he deepened the kiss and slid a second hand under her T shirt. His shirt was un tucked and she let her hands roam over his back, digging her nails into his shoulder and feeling the shudder that went through him.

'Hey buddy, you don't want to be banging a hot babe like that here, you should get a room'; the sound of men laughing interrupted them and they jerked apart

She turned away from the voices, trying to adjust her clothing as she felt him turn toward the voices, his body shielding her from their sight

'Man's gotta do'; he sounded cocky, unrepentant at them being caught making out in an alley behind a Bar

'Yeah, well, the owner doesn't like people back here, so why don't you go and find somewhere a bit more comfortable to entertain the lady'; it was a different voice from the first she had heard.

Her clothes were straightened now and she could see he was tucking in his shirt. He shrugged his shoulders, 'sure, don't want to upset anyone; you know any decent motels around here?' she could picture the expression on his face as he said the words

'You could try the one on the corner, tell the desk clerk that Gino sent you'

She trailed behind him, keeping her head down so that her hair hid her face as he swaggered toward the men at the entrance to the alley. As they reached them she could sense them staring at her, trying to see what she looked like

'She didn't look so shy a minute ago' the men roared with laughter again and she heard his laughter in response

'Her boyfriend gets a bit jealous if you know what I mean'; more laughter and then they were on the street walking away from the alley.

'Keep going, don't stop' he spoke quietly, his arm slung around her shoulders

They turned the corner into the next street and their pace picked up slightly as they could see the car

'Did they follow us?' she spoke quietly, her head turned toward his, her arm around his waist

'Don't know. I'll check it out, follow my lead'; she felt herself pulled around and pressed back against the car as he kissed her again. She kept her eyes closed, savouring the kiss, knowing that it couldn't happen again.

He broke the kiss and for a moment they stared into each others eyes, shocked at what had just happened. He attempted a smile, 'no one followed us'

She laughed shakily and straightened up, allowing him to open the car door for her to slide inside before he walked round and got into the drivers seat

In the car the atmosphere changed, neither of them knowing what to say.

She turned to look at him but he was staring out of the front windscreen, lost in thought. She cleared her throat and his head jerked around to look at her

'We didn't have a choice, if we had just come walking down that alley they would have known we had been into the office and that could have blown the whole thing'

He didn't answer; he just stared at her, then nodded and started the car

'That said, it might be best if we don't mention this back at the office' she knew her voice sounded slightly nervous and she glanced at him to see a reaction

He started to laugh; 'yeah, definitely don't want to mention this at the office'
