Alex didn't fancy going for a drink so she popped her head in at Luigis for a takeaway. He was used to her grabbing something and taking it upstairs. She looked over at Ray and Chris talking. Ray looked up.
"Hang on Chris" Ray walked towards Alex.
"You ok Maam?" He took a drag from his cigarette
"Yeah, don't worry about it Ray" She brushed the top of his shirt.
"The Guv is pissed off because of his male ego. He knows nothing, so just keep it that way." With that she tapped him and held her hand up to Chris, left the restaurant with her food and made her way to her flat. Ray returned to the table with Chris.
"So what's going on then?"
"No idea. She said the Guv is pissed off. I don't think he'll be in tonight" Ray said taking a large gulp of his drink.
"I think I'm going to get hammered." Ray poured another glass of wine
"So what happened in there today, did she do the downhill racer?" Chris said in an animated way
"Shut up, Chris."
"I was only asking."
With that Ray and Chris continued drinking but didn't converse much. Back at the station Gene was still brooding. Should he go to hers and have it out with her? Should he take Ray down an alley and beat seven bells out of him? No, he couldn't do that. They had been through thick and thin together. He had always been there for him, but had it gone too far this time. He needed to get out for a bit, but not to Luigis. He decided to go for a walk to clear his head. He shut the lights out and left the building.
Alex had tried eating but nothing much was going down properly. She couldn't get the way Gene had reacted out of her mind. She knew she wanted him badly and it would seem he wanted her the same, so why couldn't they just sort it out? It was never good to have relationships with colleagues, but was he really a colleague? After all, was it real? She was going round in circles and the alcohol hadn't helped on the empty stomach. She decided on a shower.
She hadn't been in the shower long when there was a knock at the door. She threw her dressing gown around her and went to the door.
"Oh, it's you." It was Ray, she half hoped it would be Gene.
"You had better come in." She let him in. She could see he was in a worse alcohol induced state than she was.
"Sorry Maam, I had to come round. Everything that happened today, I just don't understand it. We didn't have to do that, did we."
Alex gathered another bottle of wine and glass. She knew it probably wasn't the right thing. But today had been full of wrong things - what else could happen? She liked Ray she kind of felt responsible for the way he was. She had messed up big time.
"Ray, stop calling me Maam. We aren't at work now. I do like you and I guess things got out of hand. It was all in the heat of the moment." She took a sip of drink
Ray sat down on the sofa and she sat alongside him. Ray put his hands to his head
"Alex, I really like you, today has confused the shit out of me. The Guv is pissed off as it's obvious he likes you too." She hadn't seen this side of Ray before, it was almost child-like. He looked so lost.
She knew she was in a difficult situation now. The alcohol was flowing, she was annoyed with Gene and she had already felt Ray's touch today. She wanted to be held and told everything was going to be alright.
"Ray, I like you too, just not like that." She got up to walk away, but Ray grabbed her hand and pulled her down towards him.
"Don't say that, Alex." With that he kissed her. Her dressing gown opened. He has such a tender kiss, warm and loving. He sucked her top lip, his tash tickled. She couldn't resist, it was so inviting. He moved his hands to the inside of her dressing gown touching her silky soft skin. She jumped at his hands gliding across. She fell to the sofa next to him.
She pulled away.
"I don't think this is right - we can't." But her voice trailed off as he kissed her neck line and her dressing gown dropped. He continued to move down kissing and licking her body, it was firm yet so light. He circled his fingers on the inside of her thigh. She let out a gasp as his fingers neared her moistened area.
"Oh god Ray."
Without another word he inserted his fingers rhythmically in and out, she was moaning and gasping as he rubbed her clit, it was almost all over for her as he buried his mouth down and finished her off with strokes of his tongue. As she flowed into his mouth, she screamed with pleasure.
As Alex gained her composure she looked at Ray, he was sat back admiring her. With an air of satisfaction. Right, she thought, it was her turn now. She leant over to him and kissed him, she could taste herself. She licked her lips as she looked at him, she started to undo his trousers. He was there ready and waiting for her. She slid his cock out.
"Hmm I guess Gene wouldn't be happy to see us now," she smirked as she took hold of him her mouth.
With that Ray pushed her away.
"I cant do this. Can't do it to the Guv." with that he got up and dressed himself properly and made his way to the door.
"Sorry Alex." With that he left.
Alex sat there stunned. What the hell happened? It was the mention of Gene.
"Damn it, what the hell am I doing?" She got up and watched through the window. She watched Ray walking across the road. She turned and walked to her bedroom. How could she become so messed up?
Unknown to her she wasn't the only one watching Ray leaving. In a corner of another alleyway Gene stood, puffing on a cigar. He was convinced now that they were shagging, he felt so angry inside. How could Ray do it to him? He knew Ray would have worked out how he felt about Alex, they had been through enough to know each other. Why would Drake go for Ray? Was it because he was the ultimate bit of rough? As Gene thought more about it the anger brewed up inside. Gene threw his cigar down and crushed it under his foot, turned and headed off into the night.
The day was dawning and Alex hadn't had much sleep. She couldn't help feeling she had messed things up big time. She knew she wanted Gene and she had made it even more difficult now to get him. As she lifted her head the hangover from hell kicked in. She made her way to the bathroom to freshen up.
Gene was already in the office, he too hadn't had much sleep. He was wondering exactly what he was going to do about the present situation. He knew that as much as he hated her at the moment he wanted her twice as much. The boys had started to come in and the general chat had started. Ray was the last one to enter which was unusual. Gene looked at him from the office. He felt the anger well up inside. He knew he would have to remain professional although at the moment he wanted to kick him to kingdom come. He was imagining Ray's hands over Alex's body. He was tormenting himself. With that he stormed out the office.
"Ray a word, now." Gene shouted and pointed to his office.
He had no idea what he was going to say, he just needed to shout. He also needed to keep Ray and Drake away from each other.
"Ray there is a pile of case files that needs sorting along with the stationary cupboard. Have you been in there recently? It looks like half the CID have been shagging in there. Also after yesterday's excitement I thought a quiet day for you. After all, we wouldn't want you getting into something else you cant get out of, would we?" He walked to the door and opened it to let Ray out.
Ray turned around and walked out. He knew he wasn't going to win the argument today. He knew Gene was really pissed off, so went back to his desk picked up his fags and gum.
"Where you off to Ray?" Chris asked
"Guv, got me doing some filling and the stationary cupboard" His lip curled up
"Oh you are in the bad books. Where did you slope off to last night? Did you go back for some more action with Drake?" Ray scorned at him
"Chris haven't you enough work to be getting on with, or do you need some more!" Gene bellowed from his office.
"No, erm - I'm ok ." Chris looked at Ray sheepishly.
With that Ray left the room. It wasn't much longer before Alex turned up. She had her shades on as her hangover from hell was in full force. She wasn't much looking forward to Gene's wrath. Gene looked on from his office. He couldn't understand why with all that had gone on he still wanted her - even though at the moment he should hate her more. She sat at her desk and just looked over at the office not even attempting to go to see him.
"Chris, where is DS Carling?" she enquired.
"Oh the Guv has him doing some filling and tiding the stationary office, I don't think he's in a very good mood maam." Chris put his head back down to the work as out of the office came Gene.
"Drake, we have work to do" He continued off through the door.
Alex gathered up her stuff and followed. Gene was at the Quattro waiting, he sent a scornful look her way.
"Where we off to?" She got into the car.
Gene chucked a file into her lap.
"We need to go and see her, she was mugged yesterday. Vicious attack. I don't want that scum on my street."
"Ok." She turned to give him a smile but he wasn't even looking.
As he swung the car round the streets of London Alex became more and queasy.
"Gene - can you stop - please. I am going to be sick."
Gene stopped with force. Alex opened the door and was sick.
"Oh dear Drake it does appear something you put into your mouth yesterday didn't agree with you."
Alex knew exactly what he was implying but was in no position to retaliate. She shut the door and they carried on. Gene handed her a juicy fruit.
They pulled up outside the woman's house, Alex - still looking worse for wear but feeling slightly better than earlier - got out the car.
"Gene-" It was one of those 'I'm sorry' Gene's.
"I'm not interested Alex." Gene cut her off
They knocked at the door and entered.
Back at the station Chris had gone in search of Ray for lunch. He found him sat with his hands on his head.
"What's up mate?"
"Oh it's just all such a mess." Ray looked up.
"Nah, it looks great you done a great job." Chris nosed in the boxes.
"Not in here you plonk, this stuff between the Guv and Alex. He seems to have got the wrong end of it all."
"I'm sure it will sort itself out. They're off out together now. I'm sure they will kill each other or bang each other."
Ray wasn't sure he wanted to hear that last comment. He put the files down and they made their way to the canteen.
"Thanks, we will be in touch." Alex opened the door and walked out, she was feeling a lot better now Couple of cups of coffee and some pink wafers and the world looked better.
"So what do you think, any psycho babble for any of that?" Gene walked on to the car pulling on his leather gloves.
"Well it's someone who is after control and doesn't like it if someone fights back because they lose control, sound familiar at all Gene?" with that she waggled her fingers - she knew he hated that.
"Are you really trying to piss me off, because you really need not bother as I am anyway." He slammed the door.
"And just what is it that narks you so much? Let's just get it out in the open Hunt. Let's lay it down on the line."
Gene thought he didn't want to lie anything down unless it was Alex with next to no clothes on. He fired up the Quattro and sped off.
"Come on I'm waiting" By now Alex had turned into a screaming banshee.
Gene was getting angry, the more and more she screamed the more he wanted to shut her up.
"Why don't you stick something in your gob and shut up. You had no problem with that yesterday!"
"Well maybe I like what was on offer then!"
This exchange lasted all the way back to the station, he got out the car and strode inside. The odd few in CID were milling around doing nothing.
"All of you get out and don't come back till tomorrow!" Gene screamed.
They all looked at each other and didn't stop to be asked twice.
Drake followed through to see the exodus. She looked back at them all and they just shrugged their shoulders.
"Oh that's great, Hunt's in a mood- let's send everyone home!"
Gene walked on into his office and Alex looked around in a daze. What was going on, certainly Gene didn't like being out of control. He was losing it.
Ray and Chris returned back from lunch.
"Where is everyone Maam?" Chris asked
Ray stayed in the background not even wanting to catch a glimpse of Alex's gaze.
"Ray, Chris, go home!" Gene bellowed from the office.
"is the Guv ok?"
"Well ok isn't how I would describe but go on do what he says."
"Are you going to be ok Maam?" Ray said quietly.
They could hear banging and cursing from Gene's office.
"Yes, thanks Ray I'll be ok. Are you ok?" Ray nodded his head and looked towards the office.
"Can you tell Viv not to let anyone up to CID for a while please. Make some excuse. I need to sort this out."
With that Ray and Chris left, Alex locked the door from the inside. She walked towards the office, the banging had stopped and Gene was sat with his whisky.
"Did you not hear me Drake, I said go home"
"I'm not going anywhere till we sort this out Hunt, this can't continue. It's not good."
"And how do you think we are going to do that then?" He pouted.
"Well you can start by giving me a glass of that" He got up and got a glass from the side.
Why couldn't they just get it together, she thought. He was so sexy, even more so when he was brooding. She knew that she wanted him right now, maybe that was what was needed. He handed her the drink and remained standing.
"So come on Hunt, tell me what is it." The tension was building inside her.
"You compromised a whole operation yesterday, just so you could get your knickers down."
"You are so wrong! Nothing happened" (she couldn't admit it) "We had to do some acting as the ponce was outside the door, Also for the record if I wanted to get my knickers I wouldn't choose Ray." She couldn't believe he had said that.
The more she got fired up the more Gene was turned on. Which in made him more angry with himself. For god sake she had fucked Ray not once, twice.
"Well if that's the case why did you last night?"
"Last night! What do you mean?" He couldn't possibly know, did Ray tell him ?
"You not denying it then? I was coming to see you but I saw Ray leaving."
"So you're spying on me now?" How dare he spy on her.
"No I was coming to sort this shit out but there you were again with Ray."
"Well for your information he was there because he was worried about you, because he is loyal to you. God knows why anyone would be. No wonder you bloody wife left you."
She realised now neither of them were in control. She went to grab the bottle for another a drink but at the same time he grabbed it too. The electricity jumped from each other's hands. Before she knew it he had her pushed back on the desk with all the files flying on to the floor. This was going to be it. The bottle dropped to the floor and smashed, as he pulled at her top opening it. Alex tried to kiss him, but he moved his head away from her gaze and down to her breast. He took them out of her bra and kissed and sucked on them. She let out a moan, as he circled her tongue around her nipples. He lifted her skirt and tore down her knickers, his hand went straight to her moistened mound. In went his fingers, in and out, she arched her back to meet them.
"Oh Gene, fuck me." With that Gene undid his trousers and took out his cock, she didn't have chance to look before he entered her.
"Arrrrrrrrrr" as he entered her, it filled her perfectly.
He thrusted in and out forcefully, the only noise he made were the grunts of pleasure. With each thrust it got harder, she arched her back more to allow him to get further in. She moved her hand down to rub her clit, but he moved it away. She wasn't going to run this show - this was his show. This was his time, with one last thrust he let go and flowed into her. He felt the pent up emotion and jealously flow out of him. He pulled himself out, and did his trousers up. Alex was left there smiling, how good was that she thought. She hadn't imagined it would be like that. She had no doubt it would be good, but not that good. She got up to kiss him, he moved away. Didn't say a word and looked at her. He drank the rest of his whisky in the glass, grabbed his coat over his shoulder and walked out the office.
