There's some semi graphic sex in this chapter so be warned :D
I couldn't help the grin that spread over my face as I pushed the large wooden doors open and stepped into the warm inviting space out of the cold. My grip on the rucksack in my hand tightened as I saw the man at the front of the room and I cocked my head to one side as I observed him for a few seconds before I closed the door behind me and slowly made my way up the aisle. The man turned to me and gave me a warm inviting smile and a nod of the head before standing up and making his way over to me.
"How can I help you?" he asked kindly
"Found anything?" Harry asked Nikki when he walked into the layout room to see his fiancé leant over to table looking at the case files spread over the desk.
"No" Nikki replied without looking up from them "and I would have done this by now if you would have let me do it last night" she shot him a pointed look but Harry just grinned and shrugged
"But which was more exciting?" he asked as he leant his hands on the table opposite her "Pouring over these" he motioned to the files "or making..."
Nikki's phone rang suddenly, interrupting whatever Harry was going to say and Nikki gave him a triumphant grin as she answered the phone. Her grin faded however when she heard who was on the other end.
"I don't want to hear it" she snapped before hanging up on the person and taking a deep breath. Harry frowned and walked around the table so he was standing behind her, he rested his hands on her sides and pressed a kiss onto her neck.
"Who was it?" he asked softly and Nikki let out a shaky breath and shook her head, Harry could tell she was fighting the urge to cry "Nikki?"
"My father" she choked out and turned in his arms and rested her head on his chest, reaching up to grip his jumper in her fists as if afraid he would disappear if she didn't. Harry wrapped his arms around her back and pressed a kiss to the top of her head "He said something about meeting up to apologise but I couldn't..."
"It's alright you don't have to" Harry told her quietly "Not if you don't want to"
"Why is he such a useless waist of space?" Nikki sniffed and Harry ran one hand over her hair and shrugged slightly.
"I'm afraid I can't answer that beautiful"
Before Nikki could say anything else the door opened and Leo walked into the room. He looked from Harry to a tearful Nikki in his arms and frowned.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly
"My father" Nikki replied stiffly and reached up to wipe her face as Leo made a noise of acknowledgement at what she meant.
"Do you want one of us to talk to him?" Leo enquired as he motioned from himself to Harry "We would if you wanted us too"
Nikki smiled gratefully at him and looked up at Harry who nodded in confirmation before she looked back at Leo.
"Thank you" she nodded "I wouldn't normally but...I'm just sick of him using me all the time"
"Next time he calls you arrange to meet and one or both of us will come with you okay?" Harry asked Nikki and she smiled at him.
"Thank you" she repeated and moved away from her lover to look at the case files on the table and to tell Leo what she had, or hadn't in this case, found.

"Ah there you are" Harry said as he walked into the bathroom to see Nikki running a bath, she was dressed only in a towel and was sitting on the edge of the bath. Looking up at him she gave him a coy smile and moved her hand away from the top of the towel letting it slip down her chest slightly. Harry swallowed heavily and his eyes roamed down her body before returning to her face and giving her a grin "I was just wondering if you would...um..you know.." he was suddenly nervous, he had planned this in his head all day "Move in with me"
Nikki laughed loudly when she heard this and Harry didn't know whether to be upset or putout when hearing her reaction.
"You.." she managed to get out through her laughter "You manage to propose to me without as much of a stutter yet when you ask me to move in with you, you are so nervous"
Harry blushed slightly and shrugged, trying to ignore the way the towel hitched up Nikki's thigh slightly when she moved. Standing up Nikki made her way over to Harry and leant up to kiss him, wrapping her arms around his neck as she did so, this however meant letting go of the towel which slipped down even more and Harry took that opportunity to quickly undo the loose knot Nikki had tied on it and let it drop to the floor.
"Oops" he grinned before capturing her lips with his.

"You didn't answer my question" Harry said later on when he once again walked into the bathroom where Nikki was just getting out of the bath, he himself only wearing his trousers. He couldn't ignore the fact that his fiancé was completely naked and dripping wet in front of him and his eyes wandered down her body as she rolled her eyes and grabbed a towel from the side. "Did you have to do that?" he asked as she wrapped it around herself and Nikki giggled and slapped him on the chest as she walked past him.
"You better not be avoiding the question Dr Alexander" Harry warned her as he followed her into the bedroom and wrapped his arms around her waist before kissing his way down her neck and along her shoulder trying to untie the towel again as he did so.
"God you're insatiable" Nikki laughed loudly as she squirmed away from him but Harry laughed and held her tightly against him "and yes I will move in with you"
"Good" Harry breathed against her neck and managed to untie the towel and drop it to the floor before pushing Nikki back onto the bed and leaning over her, capturing her lips with his. He ran one hand down her side and rested it on her thigh, grinning into the kiss as she moaned and tried to move closer to him but he pushed her back down onto the bed and proceeded to kiss down her neck and chest. Nikki reached down to try and push his trousers off but Harry was having none of that and grabbed her hands and pinned them above her head as he kissed her on the lips causing her to moan loudly and struggle against him.
"Harry.." she breathed as she tried to reach down again to get his trousers off but he chuckled against her skin as he moved her hands away again and pinned them above her head. He grinned as he looked down at her and once again attached himself to her neck.
"Patience my love" he told her as he released her hands and gave her one of his heart melting smiles "Or do I have to do something about those wandering hands?"
"Harry" Nikki moaned as she realised what he meant and reached up to grip his shoulders tightly to pull him closer to her "Please.."
"Please what?" Harry asked softly as he stroked her thigh with his thumb making Nikki draw in a breath before he moved away and pulled off his trousers and boxers.
"Please I need you" Nikki found herself begging and Harry grinned down at her before kissing her again. Nikki had had enough of his teasing and wrapped her legs around him before pulling him closer once again and proceeded to whisper in his ear what she wanted him to do to her making him shiver in anticipation. He then lowered himself into her causing them both to moan, Nikki arching into him, her nails digging into his shoulders. Harry grabbed her hands in his and held them above her head and was about to move when the phone rang.
"No" Nikki hissed into Harry's ear and he didn't need telling as he began to move inside her making her moan and throw her head back against the pillow, both of them breathing raggedly, the small moans that were coming from Nikki making Harry push her hands harder into the bed and attach himself to her neck. However the phone kept ringing and they tried to ignore it again as Nikki extracted her hands from his and wrapped them around his neck, moving herself closer to him and burying her face in his neck as Harry's hands wrapped around her back to pull her into him. Nikki then wrapped her legs tighter around Harry's waist and drew him further into her.
"Harry yes" she moaned as she leant her head back, both of them suddenly conscious that the phone had stopped ringing. Harry groaned into her neck as she ran her hands down his back scraping her nails along the skin. It was only after Nikki screamed his name did he let himself go and he moaned her name loudly into her neck. They lay like that for a while, Harry still on top of Nikki, neither of them wanting to move, both of them breathing heavily, Harry with his head on Nikki's chest and Nikki fiddling with a piece of his damp hair.
"Do you want children Nikki?" Harry asked quietly after a few more minutes and he felt Nikki's heartbeat quicken slightly after he said this.
"Mmm" was all Nikki said and Harry shook his head as he propped himself up on his elbows and then moved to lay next to her causing Nikki to moan and attempt to cuddle up to him again. Harry chuckled and lifted his arm up so she could lay her head on his chest and draped it over her shoulders.
"That wasn't an answer"
"Yes I do" Nikki replied sleepily and tightened her grip on Harry
"Good" was all Harry got out before the phone rang again and he sighed before reaching over and picking it up from the bedside table "Hello"
"Dr Cunningham I called you fifteen minutes ago" came Mumford's voice down the phone and Nikki looked up and giggled quietly when she heard this "I called your freaking mobile as well, what the hell were you doing?"
"Having excellent sex with my fiancé" Harry snapped back and Nikki laughed loudly and blushed as Harry rolled his eyes "So I am sorry if I didn't answer, unless you wanted to hear it. I'm sure we can repeat it just for you"
Nikki had to bite her lip to stop herself from laughing even louder than before and hid her mouth behind her hand to try and hide the snort that she couldn't stifle. Harry reached down with his free hand and ran a stray piece of Nikki's hair through his fingers while Mumford spluttered on the other end of the phone.
"We need you at St Saviours Church on Newgate Road" the detective finally said, obviously disbelieving that Harry had a fiancé "There's..it's bad"
"I'll be right there" Harry replied and sat up slightly, Nikki sighed and moved away from him and propped herself up on the headboard, not bothering to cover herself with the duvet that she only pulled up to her waist. Harry hung up the phone and leant over to kiss Nikki on the lips "I'm sorry"
"It's fine" Nikki replied and ran one hand through his hair "Have fun with Mumford won't you?"
"I'm sorry I told him that I have a fiancé" Harry told her as he climbed out of bed and reached down for his trousers.
"He's either not going to believe you or it will be spread around the station and the lab before you are even at the scene" Nikki laughed as she moved some of her hair from her face "My bet is on the latter"
"So is mine" Harry mumbled.
Today has been the only day out of the days I've been off school that I could actually focus enough to write some proper chapters, so sorry I haven't been uploading while I've been ill.
