Kate and Rick were lying in bed intertwined in every way; they had been this way for the last hour. Kate had her head lying on her husband's perfectly toned chest and was lightly moving her hand over his stomach. After a few minutes he could feel her suddenly change direction with her repetitive pattern and start to write words. Rick smiled to himself, this was something they often did to each other, and it was how he first told her he loved her. He smiled as he realised what she was spelling.

"I love you too, baby." He replied and she giggled to herself. It never ceases to amaze her of her husband's abilities and observations. She turned her face towards her husband and looked straight into his baby blue eyes and couldn't help the desire that washed over her. The desire to keep him in this room forever; Away from danger and harm and always in her arms.

"Mmmmm, I know you do. And no matter what goes down tonight, I know I get to come right back here, in this bed, and forget the rest of the world exists." She said with a dazzling smile on her face and always seemed to leave her husband breathless. "You are my life" she murmured against his lips.

"As you are mine" he replied and covered his lips with hers. After a few too many minutes of intense kissing, Kate pulled away with the realisation that they had to get up now or they never would.

"Come on baby, we have to shower and get dressed, before Lanie and the guys get here. Oh yeah and maybe think of a way to tell them we've been married for four years and just didn't mention it?" Kate spieled off to her husband as she extracted herself from the bed and his loving embrace and crossed the room to the ensuit door; in all her glory for her husband to see.

"You do know all I got out of that sentence is "we have to shower", you know that right?" Rick said with a teasing smirk and lustful eyes. It always amazed Kate at that even after four years their marriage was this passionate, even more so than it was in the beginning. Somehow with age the attraction just keeps growing towards each other. And they were both loving every second of it.

Kate smiled back at her husband with a raised eyebrow, "Well, come on then baby you know I can never deny you, no matter how much you don't listen to me." And with that she disappeared behind the door and into the bathroom.

Within seconds her husband was jumping across the room and pulling her into the shower, to continue what they started.

"Have you thought of anything? They will be here any minute Rick and we still don't have a plan! Oh my god! Lanie is going to kill me! Why was I so relaxed before? She will hate me and she will never want to talk to me again! And what about Esposito and Ryan, given Ryan kinda already knows, but still they could ice me out! They could-"Kate was immediately cut off from her pacing panic attack, by her husband yelling at her for attention,

"KATE!" She immediately turned and looked to see him sitting on the couch with a sombre look on his face, "Look, everything will be okay. I promise." He got up and brought her into his arms and pulled them both back down onto the couch; her head resting on his chest. Still sensing her panic, Rick continued, "Hey look at the Brightside even if worse comes to worse, you will still have me right? And we can get through anything as long as-"

"-We're together." she finished his sentence for him and looked up into his eyes with love and adoration. "I know, baby. And thank you I know I'm being a bit silly but I am just worried. This is really big. I just don't want to make things worse; we have to do this right."

"I know and it's not silly. But we will find a way through this. And Kate? I don't just mean tonight." He finished with a knowing look in his eye. He was more than aware that all evening a part of his wife's mind had been on the case and most of all the threat. Sometimes he really did know her too well, Kate thought.

"Promise?" She asked suddenly vulnerable and staring up at her with a desperate look on her face.

"I promise." He leaned in to kiss her; to seal his promise with a kiss, when there was a knock at the door.

Kate immediately jumped up at the sound, the look of panic back in her face. Rick rose off the couch, took his wife's hand in his and pulled her towards the door just as he was about to reach for the latch he turned to her and took her face in his hands and kissed sweet and lovingly and said,

"Trust me?"

"Always" she replied with her soft smile.

Well here goes nothing and with that Rick opened the door….
