CH. 4
The moment that his hands separated, the handcuffs still dangling from his left hand, Tony lunged forward grabbing me, wrapping me in his arms, and pressing his lips onto mine. It was our first kiss in front of people from CTU, as we had always tried to keep our relationship private. I kissed him back, putting my hand on the good side of his neck and my other hand on his face. He reached up, putting his hand on my neck so that his thumb was stroking my face, keeping his other hand on my back, pulling me closer. I opened my mouth to him, and he kissed me hard. It felt so good to have his lips back on mine, to feel his hand on my face, to feel him rapped around me. I pulled back my mouth but kept my hands son him, resting my forehead. He let out a sigh of relief and turned his cheek to feel my skin on his face, then placing his forehead on mine again. He stroked my hair, wrapping my curls in his fingers.

I looked around for the first time and Tony looked with me, his arms still protectively around me. Everybody was staring at us. Most people had never seen us as a couple, but had seen us merely professionally, knowing we were together but never seeing it. Hardly anyone had ever seen us be physical, maybe talk or worry, once or twice a hug, seen us leave together, but had never seen us be close, and certainly never seen us kiss. Everyone was smiling looking at us, except Brad and the couple people like guards who weren't happy I was getting to go home. Tony's cheek was pressed up against me, and we both refused to let go. He grinned slightly at everybody's expressions, slightly embarrassed, and then turned his head to face me with a small laugh. I smiled at him.

"Let's go home," he said, kissing me on the forehead.

I smiled at him and said mischievously,

"I just bought more rum."

Rum was one of Tony's favorite drinks. He grinned at me. Everybody was still looking at us, but I was so lost in his smile, it had been gone for so long in worry, that I hardly noticed.

"Nice," he said, "Let's get plastered."

"Sounds good," I said with a small laugh, unable to take my eyes off him.

"You will be driven home. You are not to leave without an escort and only if absolutely necessary. Guards will be stationed around your house to make there is no violations. Understand?"

Brad said. I looked at Tony.

"Yeah, that's fine. Thanks Brad, you know, even though you would rather see my ass in prison."

I smiled at that.

"Yeah," said Brad.

"Guards," I whispered quietly in Tony's ear so that nobody else could here, pulling him back to me by his shirt, "We're going to have to remember to close the blinds."

Tony laughed slightly at this. I knew nobody else could hear what I said so I was fine letting Tony know this now. He put his arm around me.

"Jack, would you mind taking my other handcuff off?" Tony asked nodding at the handcuffs still dangling from his left hand.

"Sure Tony," Jack said, "And I'm glad this worked out for now."

"Yeah, thanks Jack." Tony said, Jack opening the handcuffs,

Tony's arm still around my waist, keeping me close to him.

"I know I'm not off for good, but just, I really can't thank you enough."

"No need to thank me, Tony. You don't belong in handcuffs," he said, pulling them off Tony's arm.

"Baby, I'm going to get my jacket," I said to Tony, turning to look at me, my hand on his shoulder, and kissing him quickly on the good side of the neck.

I could feel his eyes follow me as I went hardly 20 yards from him, grabbing my jacket and purse. I smiled at Adam and Chloe, who were leaning on their desks, still watching. They smiled back. I walked back over to Tony who had been thanking Jack again and slipped my hand in his. I felt his strong fingers intertwine themselves in mine.

"Let's go," he said, eyes sparking.

He was glowing. Again I found myself lost in his face, his grin, his gorgeous eyes. I was overcome with happiness at the thought of going home with him, at the thought that, as of now, he wasn't going to jail. I pushed my worries to the back of my head, about Tony still being up for trial, all our problems, and just appreciated the fact that I was with him, in his arms, not being told that I couldn't embrace my husband.

"I love you," I mouthed at him.

"I love you," he mouthed back at me.

We began to slowly walk out of CTU. He claimed back his hand and instead drew me closer to him, putting his arm around me, his eyes never leaving my face. I glanced at Kim and Chase and smiled. They smiled back. Chase was holding Kim's hand, and she looked so happy. I was really happy for them; they were kinda like me and Tony when we were in the beginning of our relationship. Except of course, I didn't know if they were quite as bad as us. When we started dating, we went through a period where we could literally never keep our hands off of each other. We were still like that at home, but at the beginning we were like that everywhere. At least we could control ourselves. Even though now was not one of those times. I wouldn't have taken my hands off of him for the world. I glanced at Jack and gave him a quick grin and little nod. He smiled back. I looked up at Tony, and cuddled into his side. I glanced over at Brad to see him not looking very happy, but I didn't care. I held onto Tony and walked away from work, to the car with the guards, and into the car, entwined in my husband's arms at last.

More coming! Please Review so I can know whether to continue posting them here. :)
