PRESENT

As Mike steps out of the pub to head home his mobile phone rings, flashing up Navcom knowing that he is now in charge of Navcom Cairns he has no choice but to answer the call, as he listens he knows he needs to head into Navcom, he tells them to give him ten minutes and he will be there, not at all concerned that he isn't in his whites, the situation is far more important than the extra 20mins it will take to go home change and get back to Navcom to start dealing with it.

"Sir um interesting uniform for here?"

"I was out when you rang, if I had gone home and changed it been another twenty minutes before I got here, so let's get this worked out shell we." Mike says as they start to work out a plan of attack, then Mike realises he should text Kate and let her know where he is as he is positive she would of clicked on to him leaving by now and been around to his place to see if they could talk, both knowing that at some stage they need to talk about everything.

"Right get on to them about doing that, and let me know what they come back with." Mike says as he leaves the officer do the job that he has assigned him.

Kate's place

Kate is sitting at home waiting for her kettle to boil when her mobile goes off. She sees the message is from Mike. 'But there were no lights on at his place why's he texting me?' She thinks to herself

'Got called into work, I won't be back to the pub tonight.'

'You need anything?' She replies back with to him.

"A decent cup of coffee oh and my uniform.'

'You went in your normal cloths Mike that is like a golden Rule never turn up in anything but Navy issues uniforms.'

'I know, not sure how long I'll be here for though Kate.'

'That is ok, work is work.'

'We need to talk just not sure how the hell we are meant to do that now with me in charge here and unable to ignore my phone.' She receives this message and types him another one which she gets no response from.

'Typical Mike Flynn always running away from anything that remotely is about us personally and his feelings.' She thinks to herself as she sits there watching a movie on T.V. Her phone going off 45mins later.

'Hope I don't wake you, but got called away.'

'No you didn't, I'm up watching Magic Mike.' She presses send then not even a minute later her phone starts to ring, flashing up Mike, she answers it.

"Kate this maybe how it's going to be, me getting called away a lot for work. I'm in charge for the next few months. I have no idea how we can talk without being interrupt, but also Kate you're going to have to realise I'm doing a job here I can't favour you or the crew if anything comes up, and you're going to have to like it or not remember."

"Cut to the chase don't you."

"Well you see it wasn't so long ago someone had ago at me about my new position when I first got a promotion."

"True there, (there is a slight pause by Kate) will we get a chance to talk at some stage?"

"No idea to be honest, I've been thrown into the deep end here, with Maxine off sick, I only have Steve I can ring if I get stuck and I've been on the phone to him already tonight. Hold on." He says to her she hears him talking to someone, but only semi muffled words here and there come out, she knows he must of covered his phone when he spoke to this other person that has turned up in his office.

"You know you could make an appointment to see me at work, but then we can't talk about half the stuff we need to talk about, also you guys new CO arrives tomorrow I have a meeting with him at 1300 hours why don't you also be here I can introduce you two to each other, and maybe beforehand we could possible get lunch."

"The CO you told us about at the pub its different to the one you told me in your office on Hammersley?"

"Yea that is because Gowing can't step in at such short notice, but what do you say about lunch Kate?" he knows she's just tried to divert things around so not to give an answer.

"Ok lunch we can do."

"Good I will text you tomorrow with the place for lunch once I know what time I can get away from here. I hope I can get away from here, there seems to be a large pile of paperwork sitting here for me by the looks. Anyway must go see you tomorrow Kate." He says to her, he waits for her goodbye before hanging up. Will this ever be more than some brilliant amazing times together, or will it be able to become more. Every time we try work is always in the way, always causing us to not get any further. It feels like we're still under cover, well at least that had a lot longer fun times together than being out in the real world with our real jobs.

PAST

"Kate, honey you right over there?" Mike says to her. They been playing this game of undercover now for over two months now, no idea of when it will be up, all they know is that they could be here for month's maybe even years.

"Yea just thinking about what we do if we still here in a years' time?"

"Let's not worry about that." He says as the two sit on the back of the boat that they own to spend the day out on the water away from everyone, a place to just relax and not worry, a place to talk openly and freely without concern for anyone watching or recording. Wes gave them a little machine to check for hidden cameras and mics and they have already checked the boat over, even though they own it, Wes said you can never be 100% sure and safe until you check.

"Well we should worry, over time people will start asking us when we will have a family, and we need to have some sort of story to come up with, and one we both know of and agree on."

"How about the 'we don't want kid's line'?"

"Yep that could work rather well. Or the we feel that the current work situation is not suitable to that of a family life, no mother should be home alone with children while the husband is away working all the time, children should be raised by both parents not one."

"Now I like you're thinking there Kate, that one would be a far better story to use, considering the amount of time we do spend away from home and if we did you would be home alone with a baby with no support yea nar not a good idea at all." He says the two sit there enjoying the sound of the water lapping the side of the boat, the peacefulness of the ocean without anyone else around to talk to them.

"Honey come here let me rub some more sunblock into your back, you'll get burnt soon if you're not careful." He says to her as she moves for him to rub more sunblock onto her back.

Instead of picking up the sunblock he decides to give her a shoulder rub first, he starts to massage her shoulders, listening to the moans coming from her sends signals down below.

"Mmm that is soooo good." She moans,

The knots and kinks of her shoulders being released by his big strong hands. He starts to move down her back slowly rubbing circles around her shoulder blades and further down, using gentle and firm pressure as he goes alone, Kate leans forward to give him better access to her lower back.

"God I love having my own personal masseur." She moans out to him as she feels his hands working their way around her back, helping the stress leave her body in many ways. As he is working his way around her back she is pleased that they have anchored up somewhere private as in the last 2 hours of being here no one has even remotely come close to invading their lovely quiet space.

"I bet you do honey." Mike says in response to her statement, he enjoys being able to put his hands on her, get her body singing, and tingling from his actions to her.

He keeps on massaging her back, as he works his way back up to her shoulders, she starts to sit up better for him, and he can't help himself but lay a kiss on her shoulder blade, this leads to more kisses from him, Kate enjoying the tender moment with him. And before she even knows what happened he has picked her up and taken her inside.

"Hey what you doing?" She says to him.

"Need you laying down on the bed so I can finish giving you your massage." he says to her.

He lays her down on the bed, face down, and starts his massage of her back again, but this time as he is working away with his hands he is also kissing her back at the same time. Every little kiss comes with a moan from Kate, he undoes her straps on her bikini, knowing for himself that when he flips her over soon her perfect breast will be in view for him to do as he pleases with. He continues massaging away on her back, then proceeds to her legs rubbing them as he continues to places kisses along her body.

Kate can't believe the way he is making her body, tingle, and sing with need for him. A deep seated, aching need for him as he works his way with his hands and lips on her body. She knows when they working he can do things to her when he kisses her in front of others, holds her hand, any touch he gives to her while they working the operation and even when in bed, the two now always go to sleep cuddled up together, since it is how they always find each other when either one wakes.

"God your body is so stunning Kate." He says to her breaking her of her train of thought, her body is so on fire for him right now that if she was to speak she's not sure if she would make any sense at all. He continues to work on legs, before suddenly flipping her over, having not even realised that he had undone her bikini bottoms as well 'Tie-up side make for easy access' she thinks to herself. And she only noticed it due the flapping of fabric as he flipped her over.

"Not even sure stunning can explain how bloody breath taking your body is to take in baby, and it's all mine." He says to her, his words nearly tipping her body over the edge and all that has been going on is his hands and his lips on her body. But those last few words from him and the primal need she heard in his voice was nearly her undoing.
