The sun light streamed into the open curtains. Gillies was the first to wake as he felt the soft breeze against his exposed skin. The beach was always his place to live by, the sounds of the ocean the yells of the birds always somehow seemed to make him smile. Turning his head he spotted the detective resting comfortable on his front, his arms spread wide one of the hanging off the bed while the other was draped over Gillies.

Gillies took this moment to admire the detective, as he raised his own hand and stroked the detective's knuckles. He noted they were rough underneath his fingertips. He suddenly remembered a quote he once read while studying as a child

I love thee, I love but thee with a love that shall not die till the sun grows cold And the stars grow old – Bayard Taylor

Gillies had never been one for love, even with his parents he never told them he loved them. In truth the Gillies family had a strong moral to never care for another person as much as only care for what is good for yourself. Is it any wonder he grew up to be the way he was? Not that it excused his actions, on the contrary Gillies quite enjoyed being a villain. Gillies was quite happy to stay in bed all day and watch the detective sleep however work called and his stomach growled. Gently lifting the detectives arm James gently pressed a kiss to Murdoch's wrist feeling his pulse underneath his lips before setting it on his pillow.

It was surprisingly quite around the manor today as Gillies walked around wearing his trousers and nothing more. His feet padded towards the kitchen ,rubbing his eyes as walked to the counter wear a still piping hot tea was set against a tea cup.

"Morning"

Startled he turned to see Mina, wearing one of his shirts, and only his shirt as she sat at the kitchen table, her hair ruffled and a tea in hand. He smirked "good morning miss Murdoch"

Scoffing she stood and walked her way to him lifting her head and tilting his head to the side she grinned "my brothers work I assume"

"indeed"

Grinning until she showed all her teeth she walked back to her seat while he made some tea.

"So I'd like to get to know you more" she sat gracefully on the chair crossing her legs as she did and picking up her cup of tea, Gillies eyes flickered down to her exposed legs before meeting her eyes which were glittering with amusement "my brother is star-struck with you and I'd like to know your intentions are true"

Smiling softly to himself he sat by her, leaning her legs on his lap "you're a brave little thing aren't you"

She smiled "I'm as mad as a hatter Mr Gillies, my only fear in life is my brother getting hurt. Which leads to my previous question, are your intentions true with my brother?" she raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow

Back in Toronto

Station house 4 was jam packed with people, there had been a murder in a factory and all of the workers were being interviewed by constables. Inspector Brackenreid rubbed a hand through his hair as he looked at Murdoch's desk only to remember his detective had taken personal leave. Of all the bloody weeks, Brackenreid moaned. He took a sip of his scotch while another worker came into his office

He could see Julia walk into Murdoch's office before looking around.

Something was going on with Murdoch, and Brackenreid was going to find out.

Murdoch turned in the bed and was slightly confused by his surroundings until he remembered the previous night. He smiled widely while he stretched, he heard music coming from downstairs and decided to investigate, making sure to grab his pants and shirt.

Shaking his head he now admired the detail of the large house Gillies had been staying, he heard his sister giggle as he peaked around the stairway hallway. Gillies was dancing with his sister who wore little, shaking his protective brother he watched the two dance gracefully against the tiled floor.

"Faster" Gilles laughed as he now grabbed his sister by her hips and lifted her in the air, Mina squealed in delight and grabbed his shoulders.

"Have you and my brother been dancing like this?"

Gillies laughed "I doubt your brother would ever dance like this Mina"

Murdoch smiled to himself as he now moved away from the wall and made his way down the stairs, the couple looked up and smiled

"Good morning brother" Mina came up and pecked his cheek before whispering in his ear "I like him"

Murdoch was relieved by his sisters approval but it did mean one thing as he gazed across James who smiled at the two "I tak it you passed her interrogation"

Raising his eyebrows Gilles spoke "You knew she would?"

Shaking his head he smiled "no but I gathered"

Smiling over at Mina Gillies spoke "did I do better than Julia?"

Scoffing unladylike Mina waved her hand "she didn't even get to meet me before I decided I didn't' like her"

"I do need to know something though brother" Murdoch felt dread in his stomach and Mina always gave him that look when she was trying to stir trouble "when did you fascination begin with Mr Gillies here" she leaned her head on James shoulder, if Murdoch hadn't been related to Mina he could have sworn her and Gillies were related, they held the same mischief in their eyes.

"When I saw him in his class, he and Mr Perry had been explaining why Nuten believed the way he did about light, as Gillies was explaining himself I couldn't help but be drawn to him"

Mina smiled softly and Gillies went completely still, even his face was impassive before he walked up to William and kissed his lips. Murdoch felt the desire run through his veins as he wrapped his hands around Gillies waist, Gillies gripped Murdoch's shirt harshly Gillies bit the detectives lower lip causing the detective to gasp in surprise. Pulling back Murdoch noted his sister had disappeared giving them some privacy. With the look of lust surrounding Gillies eyes Murdoch muttered "bedroom"

Shaking his head Gillies grabbed his hand "no time" before pulling Murdoch to a room beside the giant stair case, this must have been Gillies study, books were surrounding the walls and a large wooden desk was placed in the middle of the room. Gilles brought them to the table and pushed Murdoch down.

Mina sat by the balcony of her temporary room, far away from the couple as she read her book and listened to the beach waves. Raising her head she caught sight of a companion of Gillies. She had met him briefly last night as he showed her across the house, being careful to avoid the couple bedroom. His name was Edward, he was 24 years old and he has been working for Gillies for three years. She learned he had gotten in trouble with the law when he was 14 having been caught stealing some food for him and his family, and then again at 19 for murdering three men. He didn't feel sorry for his victims he even admitted he quite enjoyed killing them.

Edward looked up and caught sight of her, he smiled and waved and Mina couldn't help but return his gesture. He walked up the beach and stood beneath her balcony

"O Rapunzel let down your long hair" his English accent made her stomach tickle with butterflies and toes curl in pleasure

Sniggering to herself she set her book down and walked to the edge of the balcony, leaning her elbows against the wooden white panels

"I'm more of a wicked witch than a princess Mr Roberts"

He grinned up at her, his dimples showing either side of his cheeks. His brown hair was styled it's usually messy way but she liked it like that "o darling where have you been my whole life"

Mina felt her heart bounce

The couple panted against the table, Murdoch couldn't help but chuckle "I don't think I can get up"

Gillies laughed with him as he sat up and lifted his pants up and fastened them, leaning over Murdoch's sweaty body he kissed the detectives mouth gently, his head tilted so he could deepen the kiss before pulling away. Pulling back Gillies gazed into the detectives eyes and he smiled "so you really fancied me when you first saw me?"

Murdoch smiled "I was fascinated by you, as you with me as you told me once"

Gillies smiled "so I did" resting his forehead against the detectives he closed his eyes "your it for me Murdoch, you've ruined me for anyone else"

The two men found their chest tightening as the words sunk in, Murdoch felt the same but he couldn't find the words to express himself to Gillies. So instead of speaking Murdoch sat up and wrapped his arms around Gillies savouring every movement, every gesture the man gave Murdoch.

"I love you" Murdoch muttered "and i can't let you go, you're in my heart and soul now"

Gillies closed his eyes and hugged Murdoch tighter "you and me against the world"

Pulling back Murdoch gently stroked Gillies slightly stubble face "you and me"
