Chapter 1
Sexual tension

They'd always been good friends, but it had taken them both a while to realise just how much they needed each other. And now, lying in Allie's bed with her sleeping next to him, he felt like everything was the way it should be. She'd taken a bit of convincing; by the time they had gotten together they had already been avoiding the topic for weeks, mainly because of her stubbornness, but also because of his fear of stuffing things up with her before they had even begun. If only he'd taken that step of courage earlier, then maybe, just maybe, they could have been together a long time ago.

As he watched her, he allowed himself to smile slightly as he noticed how peaceful and pure she looked, wrapped in nothing but the white sheets on her bed, and his arm which rested on her hip from behind her. Feeling her begin to stir, he leaned down and placed a small line of kisses down the side of her neck, receiving a grateful sigh from her. "Mmm, good morning" she smiled, rolling onto her back so that he was looking over her, his hand now rested on her stomach, while the other arm propped him up on his side.

"Good morning" he smiled back, placing his hands either side of her and leaning down, covering her lips with his.

"I could get used to waking up to this" she beamed as they parted, running her hands along his bare chest. They'd been together for a week now, and this was the first night that he'd stayed till morning. There was always some reason why he couldn't stay, mostly because of his aunty; she would be suss about the whole situation if it happened every night. "So what are you going to tell your Aunt when she asks you where you got to last night?"

"I'll just tell her that I crashed at a mate's place after a late night" he answered, he hated hiding their relationship, but if his aunty found out, she wouldn't be happy, not to mention the fact that she'd probably go and inform all of their senior officers about the situation. "I wish we could do this every night".

"Mmm" she agreed, wrapping her arms around him and sliding them across his back as he began planting another trail of kisses down her neck.

Allie was in heaven, she had been single for so long that she had forgotten just how amazing it felt to waist the morning in bed with someone, and wake up in their arms. The past week had been tough she had to admit, ever since they first got together, they'd had to keep their newly developing relationship a secret from everyone, but it was moment's like these that made it all worth it. Working together and having to keep their hands off each other had been difficult, especially when during their current case they had been paired together. Although they had given into this temptation on the odd occasion, a little touch when nobody was looking and the occasional kiss behind closed doors when the room was empty, thankfully they hadn't been caught out yet; and hopefully it would stay that way.

After they had first gotten together in that viewing room, they had spent the rest of the morning, trying to focus on work and not show the growing sexual tension between them, to be honest she was surprised that the others hadn't noticed, because she had felt so electrified the whole time, the urge to have him then and there was stronger than ever. By the time their lunch break came around Rhys had had enough, he'd grabbed the keys, as well as Allie, and dragged her out of the building before the others could notice, they hadn't even gotten far before they had pulled the car over out of sight and Rhys had pulled her over onto the back seat.

Flashback:

Rhys was driving along, looking for somewhere they could stop and eat, hopefully somewhere where the others wouldn't be likely to go, "Just pick anywhere, it really doesn't matter" Allie spoke up, her hand placed on his leg.

"I'm trying, but it's rather difficult to concentrate" he told her breathlessly, referring to where her hands were placed.

"Sorry" she apologized, with a smirk on her face, she loved the reaction she was getting, and the control she had over him. Leaning in close to him she ran her hand further up his leg, "is that better" she whispered sweetly in his ear.

This only proceeded to push Rhys over the edge, moving quickly, he turned into the nearest back road that he could, finding an abandoned ally way to park the car in. Turning the engine off immediately, he pulled up the hand break and turned his full attention straight to her, cupping the back of her neck with one hand and pulling her in towards him. Their lips met straight away and Allie pulled herself up and over the gear box, sitting down on his lap with one leg on either side of him. His hands began exploring her slender form, removing her jacket, and unbuttoning her shirt so that it fell open.

Leaning back for a second so that she could begin to remove his clothes, her bum hit the car horn, suddenly causing her to lean back into him, the two of them freezing for a second before they began to laugh. Rhys kissed her cheek, still giggling under his breath, before he lifted her up and pushed her through the gap between the two front seats and towards the back of the car, following close behind.

Allie removed her unbuttoned shirt aswell as her work pants, and was already sitting in the middle waiting for him by the time he scrambled though, placing his hands on her waist he pushed her backwards so that she was lying with her back down on the seat. He hovered above her for a moment, taking the time to admire her body which was clad only in her underwear. Feeling his eye upon her form she reached up and unbuttoned his shirt, running her fingers along his chest before moving down further to undo his belt.

This was going to be a long lunch break.

After they got back to the office an hour later, they managed to contain themselves long enough to get through the rest of the day, the moment when they could leave work seeming so far away.
