A/N: Sorry for the wait! Life got in the way. So time for a little less talk and a lot more action ...

Cali was brushing her teeth when Hank crowded her, running his hands down her sides and nuzzling the side of her neck, all the while pressing himself to her back.

She quickly spit out the toothpaste and rinsed her mouth before straightening and giving him what she hoped was a seductive gaze in the mirror while wiggling her arse against him.

Erin had officially moved in with Jay for good last week, therefore giving Cati her room across the hall from theirs. But between Cali's recent injury and all the company in and out of the house, there hadn't been much private time.

Hank slid his hands under her nightshirt, skimming her breasts before moving lower. Cali had learned early in their marriage not to wear anything on her bottom half at night because it would be gone in no time anyhow.

Her arousal flared as Hank nipped her shoulder and slipped a couple fingers inside to test her wetness. Cali stifled a moan at his touch, bucking into his hand.

"Need something?" he hotly murmured in her ear as he stroked her.

"Yes! You," she groaned as she blindly reached a hand behind her and groped at his hip.

He released his hold on her long enough for her to turn around in his arms and pull him down for a bruising kiss. He maneuvered her atop the bathroom vanity before shoving down his pajama bottoms and situating himself between her thighs.

Neither held back when they finally joined. Cali let her eyes drift shut and clung to him as Hank gripped her hips and surged deep like he couldn't get enough.

He was hard and thick and dragging across all the right places, causing her to whine for more. He knew he wouldn't last long since it had been several weeks since they'd been together last so he hooked a hand under her left knee and lifted it higher over his hip to open her up wider.

Cali cried out at the angle change. Before she knew it, her orgasm flooded her senses. Hank's vision whited out as he came seconds later.

"Cali!" Platt called as Cali passed by the desk on her way up the stairs. She pivoted, motioning for Jay to go on without her. He nodded and did so as she ambled up to the counter.

"Ma'am?" she automatically responded as she peered up at the desk sergeant. Trudy bit back a retort and tipped her head toward the room behind her.

Cali followed Trudy into the breakroom and hooked her hands into her front jean pockets—a habit she had picked up from her husband—as she stared expectantly at Trudy.

"I just want to make sure you're doing okay and fit for duty," Trudy said.

"Why wouldn't I be, Sarge? I've been on the beat for a couple weeks and I feel fine," Cali said, somewhat surprised by the line of questioning.

"Sometimes it's not easy to get back in the groove after a shooting, that's all," Trudy replied, her face softening a bit. "I know from personal experience. And since your boss is your husband, I just wanted to make sure you didn't feel pressured into returning too early."

It was Cali's turn to refrain from a retort, and she quickly reminded herself Trudy was simply making an effort to protect her like she did all female coppers in her district.

"Look, Trudy, I really appreciate you looking out for me. But I would have strangled Hank by now if he hadn't let me return to duty yet. I was more than ready to be back," Cali said with a smile. Trudy chuckled.

"Okay then. That would have been a sight to see though," she commented.

"What did Platt want?" Jay asked when Cali appeared. Cali glanced at Hank's office—he was pouring over paperwork at his desk—and then at her partner.

"She just wanted to make sure I was recovering well," she replied before switching topics. "Erin getting settled in?"

Jay reddened slightly, tipping off Cali, whose jaw dropped and head cocked before leaning in and lowering her voice.

"You're gonna propose, aren't you?!" she playfully accused him. He looked around the bullpen to find no one was paying attention to them.

"Keep it to yourself," Jay grumbled.

"When? How? Details, man!" Cali prodded.

"Forget it," Jay said, hunching over his computer in an attempt to ignore her. Cali laughed and punched him before heading to her own desk.

"Jay seemed a bit moody today," Hank mentioned as they readied for bed. Cali shrugged.

"It might have something to do with the fact I cornered him about his pending marriage proposal," she said.

Amused, Hank shook his head with a grin as he crawled under the covers.

"You know how to push his buttons, don't you," he commented as she crawled in too.

"And you don't?" Cali retorted with a laugh. "He will be a nervous wreck by the time he gets down the aisle."

She sobered as she snuggled up against Hank.

"But seriously," she said, "He's the best thing for Erin. And her for him. I'm glad they got back together."

"I agree. Just like you're the best thing for me," Hank softly said as he held her close.
