Chapter Three

He made his way to the Sergeants office and moved inside "Stone.. I have to pop out.. cover for me". Callum nodded slightly "Where are you going?" he asked and Smithy smiled "To see a woman about a property list". Callum nodded "Ok.. see you later". He had changed from his unifrom and as he sat in his car staring at her house he smiled slightly, the rain was hammering down still, and the wind blowing hard, he fought with the car door to get it open before jogging up to her huge brown front door. He rang the bell and waited for a few moments, listening to the bolt move accross the door and her pull it open, his heart leaped into his mouth as she stood in only a small white dressing gown. "Smithy.." she spoke softly a smile pulling gently at her lips "What are you doing here?" she asked. He stepped up into her front door and smiled "I forgot something". She looked at him confused and he gently cupped her cheeks in his hands before moving his lips down to her soft lips. The kiss took her completly by surprise but she instantly relaxed into the embrace letting him control her as his tounge massaged against hers. As he pulled from her both their eyes fell to the floor "What was that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whispear "I was going to do it earlier but..." he shrugged his shoulder "You know the interuptions always seem to get in the way.. anyway see ya Stevie" he turned and made his way from her house. "Hey.. oi Smithy" she called jogging after him, feeling her feet freeze on the cold concrete and her dressing gown blow with the hard wind. "What?" he smiled turning back to her, the rain hammering down on them, she lent up and into his lips. As she pulled away she took his hand "Come on... we need to talk Smithy". He nodded slightly before following her back up to the house.

He had rested down on the sofa and she had headed straight into the kitchen, he had no idea what they were going to talk about but he knew she wanted him to stay. "Here.." she smiled as she handed him a cup of steaming coffee as she rested down next to him "So..." she smiled and he glanced at her, meeting her eyes he grinned. "You kissed me?" she smiled. He nodded "I erm.. I guess I should of done it a long time ago eh?". She smiled slightly "I have been waiting four years..." he interupted "You could of kissed me..." noticing her face fall he grabbed her chin turning her eyes back to him "Im sorry.. I er.. I need to get back for work.." he rose to his feet and she glared at him as he headed to the door "So thats it... thats all Im good for?" he smiled, confusion in his eyes "What?" he asked. "A quick snog... nothing else.. you might as well shag me before you walk out eh?". He moved back to her and sunk down next to her "Im sorry Stevie.. I didnt realise you wanted more". She nodded "Yeah well I did... but its fine.. fuck off". He laughed as he lent into her lips, she wanted to resist him, tell him to go but she just couldnt find it in her "Stevie.." he panted as he pulled from her "I really really like you but.." he paused as he laced her hair in his fingers, she closed her eyes at the touch and he smiled "I know things aint going to be that simple, a kiss... well its not like we aint dont that before but if we..." he paused as he took hold of her hands "There would be no going back and I dont want to lose my best friend". She smiled "So we just carry on both wanting more.. and neither of us getting it.." he laughed "Its not a game Moss..." she sighed "Well Im starting to think you like playing with me..." he ran his eyes over her slim figure and a smirk covered his face, he opened his mouth to speak but she cut him off "You know what I mean Smithy.. you are playing with my feelings and you know it". He laughed as he cupped her face in his hands "There is just something about you Stevie... I only have to look at you and I go weak at the knees.." he lent back into her lips and kissed her gently, as he pulled from her he smiled "But I want to be a gentleman..." he rose to his feet and headed to the door, she followed grabbing his hand "I want you... I want us to.." she pulled on his hand and he smiled "You are making it more and more difficult to resist you Stevie... God knows I am trying". She fiddled with the knot that held her dressing gown together and he grabbed her wrists "Dont" he smiled and a cheeky grin covered her face "Dont you want to see me naked?" she asked and he moved towards her, lowering his mouth to her ear "If I see you naked Stevie.. I am gunna have to take you to bed". As he pulled back he stared into her eyes and before she knew it he had pulled on her hands, pushing her hard against the wall and holding her in place, a smirk covered his gorgeous features "And if we are gunna do this... we are doing it my way". She grinned as he held her in place "I wouldnt expect it any other way Inspector Smith". He moved her hands together, gripping them in one of his and his other slid slowly down her body, over the dressing gown and past the knot, sliding inside her gown just underneath the knot, he stroked at her inner thighs and her whole body trembled. He moved back into her body, kissing her neck, moving up and tugging at her earlobe before whispearing "D'you have any idea how much you have teased me?" she let a huge grin cover her face "I pretty sure Im about to find out Inspector Smith". She felt his thumb drag over her clit and she let out a gentle moan, his fingers were rough and she hadnt been expecting him to go in for the kill wuite so quickly but it had sent her whole body into overdrive and she could feel her breathing becoming more heavy by the second as he moved his eyes level with hers and he stared deep into her soft eyes "I have feelings for you Stevie..." he smiled before moving into her gently kissing her soft lips "I always have". She couldnt contain her smile as he took hold of her hands and led her to the bedroom.

waking cocooned in his arms she couldnt contain her smile, he was fast asleep with the covers only just hiding the bottom half of his body. He was snoring lightly and she lent foward placing a gentle kiss to his chest before grabbing for her dressing gown from the floor and heading out of the bedroom. Once in the kitchen she glanced at the clock it was only just gone nine and after spending a passionate few hours they had both fallen asleep and she had never felt so safe. It was the first time in her life she could say it but Stevie Moss was in love and she hoped with all her heart he would be the only man in her life she would ever love. She made her coffee and headed into the living room with it, sinking down onto the sofa, she sat with her feelings and emotions running wild in her mind, she had the biggest grin at the thought of the last few hours, he had completly owned her, every inch of her body ached for him and it made her all the more tempted to sneak upstairs and find the most interesting way of waking him but then her smile would fade at the thought of all the hurt he had been through, all the pain of losing not only one but two women he had been in love with, could she ever really compete with the ghosts of his past. "Penny for your thoughts?" he spoke and she jumped at the sound of his voice, to many his voice held a strict, no nonsense tone but to her it was the most comforting sound in the world, she smiled and shook her head gently "Nothing... I just decided on a coffee... the kettles just boiled" she smiled and he nodded "I should get off... it is nearly eleven" she stared at the clock trying to figure where the last couple of hours had gone. "Oh.. yeah.." she nodded "I will see you at work tomorrow yeah?" she smiled. He grinned "Is that it?" he asked and she noticed the hurt behind his grin. "What?" she replied stumbling over her word. "I just assumed that after everything... when we.." he gestured between them "You know what forget it.. see you tomorrow". She watched as he headed through the door and she wanted with every inch of her body to follow him and tell him she wanted him, she had ment everything she had said and he was the world to her but instead she remained sat on the sofa jumping as the front door banged shut.

She had a tourtured nights sleep, trying to decide if she could overcome her demons, whatever happened she knew her and Smithy needed to sit down and talk so standing outside his office staring in at him as he typed away on his computer, oblivious to her watching him, or so she thought "You just come to stare at me?" his voice had startled her, and she stood for a few seconds slightly lost for words as he just eyed her suspiously. "I wondered if you had time for a chat... sort a few things out..." he smiled "You dont need to bother... I understand what you were after... I just wish you had picked someone else.. rather than using me..." she interupted coming into the room and closing the door "No hang on just a minute... you came to me you kissed me Smithy" he nodded "And you made it perfectly clear you wanted sex... had I known it was going to be a one night stand it would never of happened.." she smiled "I havent said it was a one night stand..." he cut in "You didnt need to.. but you know what its fine.. after all your Stevie Moss... what was I expecting". She smiled "I ment what I said.. I want you.. I wanted us to give things a go.. but I guess I thought you were more of a man than what you are eh.." he rose to his feet "Oi now you listen to me... I came to you and put my heart on the line and you took advantage.." she cut in "I did no such thing and I resent the accusation..." he laughed and she lent out a slight grin "What?" she asked and he smiled "We cant even do this right" he paused as he moved towards her "What are we gunna do eh?" he asked and she smiled "Start again?" she suggested and he nodded as he took her hands in his "Stevie Moss.. I like you.. I more than like you... so what d'you say.. you reckon we could get this whole dating thing right?". She nodded "I think we could have a damn good try". He moved foward and lent gently down into her lips. The doubts were still in the back of her mind but then this was Dale Smith and she knew he would never hurt her, infact he would do everything he could to make her happy and right now she was estatic.
