Chapter 4

They had managed to get back upstairs around an hour later.

After both finally managing to pull themselves from one another they needed to hide the evidence of their rush to get each other naked again. The table had been knocked over and then there was all the food to clear up. Gene swore loudly as he stood on a piece of broken plate and Alex had stifled a giggle at him. He thought it best to just leave Luigi a note apologising for the broken plates and would pay for them later that night.

"I can't believe you just seduced me in our Local Bolly." Gene was still flushed as he followed her back up the stairs to her flat.

"I have no idea what you meant I was simply leaning in for a thank you kiss Mr Hunt." She smiled over her shoulder at him as she put the key in the door.

"Bollocks woman! You stole my sausage!"

They both collapsed on her settee. Round 2 had been a little more adventurous than their fast love making the night before.

Gene pulled her over to him and rested his head back inhaling deeply her scent. He still couldn't believe that she would want him, even after the past 24 hours. He was going to enjoy every second that she still thought she did.

Alex didn't want to be anywhere else than where she was now. She hadn't been lying to him when she said if she was staying she wanted him to be right next to her. He was always going to be her rock here in 1982. But as much as she wanted to stay in her flat half naked with Gene all day long they did have to at some point make an appearance at work. She sighed and looked over to the clock above her TV.

"Suppose we should get dressed. As much as I would like to work from right here today I'm sure the Criminals of London won't just turn up at my door step."

"Mmm if you insist Bolls, I was just drifting off then. Start of a really god dream as well." He nuzzled her hair and kissed the top of her head then made a grumble sound. "Might have to have a quick shower though first. Feel al dirty; think you got beans all over me back down there."

He got up and headed for her bathroom. Stopping half way he turned round to her.

"You coming?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her and tilted his head towards the bathroom.

"My god Gene, you think we're ever going to get to work if I come in there with you?" She stretched on the settee making her robe ride up her legs. Not unnoticed by Gene.

"Good point; if you don't get dressed soon I might just have to ravage you instead."

She smiled and sat back down on the settee for a few more minutes. It had been a long eventful 24 hours. Her parents, not getting back to her daughter and now this, whatever it was turning out to be, with Gene. Alex took a long deep breath and stared at the ceiling .

She could see Molly again out of the corner of her left eye.

"I'm so sorry I'm still not there. Blow out the candles Molls, I'm going to be a long time yet."

The vision of Molly disappeared and Alex wiped a stray tear from her face. She heard Gene turn on the shower head and was sure she could hear him singing Jonny Cash. That man, not even in the same room and he could make her feel better about being here now. She got up and decided she too needed a shower. Work might have to wait just a little while longer.

After another hour of attempting to shower and getting dressed, stopping every 5 minutes for a quick grope or kiss, they were finally ready to leave her flat.

She donned her white leather jacket and he grabbed his coat as they headed for the door.

"Bolls." Alex turned round just before reaching the door. Gene was stood with his hands in his pockets looking down at his feet.

"Last night, this morning, when you rang me last night ya said ya needed me it's just well ... do ya need me need me or did you just need me then?" He quickly looked up at her before looking back down at his feet.

She knew he would ask. She had turned him down the other night and had made him leave the first time she had kissed him. He was bound to have doubts about how she felt. She had however hoped that the past 24 hours had showed him that she did need him and not just for the night. Reassurance was needed and she would gladly give it to him.

Alex walked over to him stopping just in front of him. He saw her feet in front of his and looked up at her face. She quickly reached up and placed her hands on his cheeks pulling him down she kissed him passionately, flicking her tongue over his bottom lip. She placed one hand on his chest over his heart and pulled her head back to look at him. He was caught off guard by her kiss and still had his eyes closed and mouth still formed in a kissing position. She laughed inwardly; he could be so innocent sometimes.

"Gene Hunt I am never going to stop needing you. I meant what I said the other night I apparently am not going anywhere. I'm staying right here with you."

He opened his eyes looking back into those sparkling brown orbs of Alex's.

"Thank god for that Bolly." He rested his head on hers. "Because I don't think I'm ever going to be able to drink downstairs again without wanting to bend you over that table." He kissed her quickly and headed for the door.

"Shall we then Lady Bolls?" He gestured down the stairs as she walked past him shutting the door on the way.

The day was dragging far too slowly. They had managed to slip in together without raising any suspicion. Alex was thankful that Shaz was not back at work yet. She knew that Shaz would be the only one that would find it a bit funny they were both an hour late and had arrived together.

He sat in his office glancing up every now and then looking at her then going back to drawing them in all the many positions they had achieved this morning in Luigis. It really wasn't going to be a productive day.

She sat at her desk glancing up every now and then looking at him then going back to read the same statement over and over again. What she wouldn't give right now for something to work on.

"Mam, Guv!" Ray burst through the door late in the afternoon holding a letter in his hand waving it about like his life depended on them noticing him.

"Yes Raymondo, important is it?" Gene was slumped up against his door sipping on a mug of tea.

"Bloody hell Guv you should see this! Plod just handed it over! Says they going to blow up half of Regent Street if these blokes aint released from this foreign prison! Look!" Ray stomped over to Gene and handed the letter over.

Alex had got the gist of what Ray was telling them but she didn't really listen to the full explanation he was giving Gene. She couldn't stop having flash backs to this morning. Gene glanced up from Ray for a second and caught her eye. She gasped and snapped out of her daydreaming. He knew what she was thinking about; he had been doing the same all day in his office. Gene smiled at her and gave her the slightest of winks. They stared at each other for a few more seconds. Gene had to stop he was sure if he didn't he was going to jump over her desk and kiss her into next week. He blinked and looked away clearing his throat.

"Right then, who brought it in?" He stopped Ray who was talking to Chris now about his date he had last night

"Great big pair of ... what guv? Oh right erm it was left on one of the Panda cars bout an hour ago in Bakewell Street."

"Right then I suggest we start there then, shall we ladies?" He gestured them all out the office. Ray and Chris went out first carrying on their conversation Gene had interrupted.

Alex grabbed her coat and started to walk out after them as Gene grabbed her arm, she span round and found Gene right in front of her. Their noses almost touching, both could feel each other's breath on the others lips.

"Your gona have to stop looking at me like that while were working Bolly, I almost jumped the table then. I'm gona have to do what I wanted to do to ya later now and it's gona be a bloody painful day Bols, painful." He brushed past her thigh making sure he nudged his errection in to her as he passed.

Alex groaned a little bit and turned to follow him down to the Quattro. This was going to be one long afternoon. She hoped both her and Gene had the will power not to jump each other till they were at least back in the booth at Luigis.

(A/N: Not as smutty and certainly not as hot as the last chapter but I want to do some sort of story line as well: P don't worry though I'm sure they will both want an early night after their long day ;) Plus more plot to come. Got to find out who wants to blow up the city now aint we!)
