Kim unlocked her front door and placed her keys on the small side table beside Adam's spare set. The only light was shining from her bedroom while the rest of the place was still in the dark. When they had left the district he was heading home while she had a Boxing class to get to. Although he said he would head over to her place, she almost didn't expect him until much later, if at all; he had the tendency to take time out for himself when a case got too much for him.

The past few days had been rough for him, she knew that and had tried to remain as rational as possible but it had been hard. He had taken Felicia's death to heart and him being undercover and so emotional about the girl's death had bothered her. Roman had done his best to reassure her that Ruzek was just doing his job but without having the chance to talk to him it had nagged away at her.

Much of her concerns had been swept away in the locker room, but she knew that it was still bothering Adam, she could feel the pain coming from within him and that he would need her support unconditionally. What she had to do was make sure she was able to give it.

She walked quietly into the bedroom. Adam was stretched out on her bed with his hands behind his head and his eyes were closed. His breathing was slow and steady and Kim realised he was sleeping. Obviously he had taken a shower, his hair back to its normal wild state. His gun and his badge on the bedside table. Kim sat down on the edge of the bed and rested a hand on his chest. "Adam." She whispered quietly.

Slowly he opened his eyes, allowing them to adjust to the dim light. "Hey darlin'." His voice was a little croaky from sleep. Grabbing her hand he pulled her in for a kiss, soft and gentle. "I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"I got so caught up in this case I forgot to let you in. "

"You were upset about that girl. I get that, I really do." Kim brushed his hair back from his forehead. "I just wish I could've been there for you, I wanted to know you were okay and I could see that you were upset and I hated that you didn't come to me to help you."

"I got so worked up I didn't know how to get out of it."

"That's what I am here for."

"I know." Adam ran his hand up the side of her face and grasped the back of her head so that he could pull her in for a kiss. Right now he need to feel a human connection. "I love you so much." He whispered between kisses. "I need you right now."

Kim pushed him away from him. "I need to take a quick shower."

"No you don't." Adam didn't want to let her go. He had spent the past two weeks working undercover and their schedules had been screwed and they hadn't seen each other. Now he just needed to feel her, he needed to feel her skin against his and he needed to feel part of her again. He sighed as Kim peeled away from him and headed to the bathroom. On passing she noticed his suit hanging on her closet door. So he was planning on going to the memorial service.

She lingered in the shower for a few minutes longer, making sure she was ready to put the past few days firmly behind her. Emerging from the bathroom Adam was lying on her bed, eyes closed again, but she knew he wasn't asleep as he tapped his hand on his thigh rhythmically.

His eyes shot open when he felt Kim's hand on his leg; she was standing beside the bed, completely naked. Her hair still tied up in a ponytail and a few drops of water still glistening on her shoulders. "Come here." He demanded softly, reaching out to grab her hand and pull her down on top of him. "God I've missed you."

"I was always here." Kim slipped her hands under his shirt and lifted it over his head as he sat up and then set to work at helping discard the rest of his clothes. He didn't want to rush this though. Their sex could be frenzied and wild especially when it had been awhile yet he felt the need right now to let her know just how much this all really meant. Them together right now was everything he needed. It had to be a long slow burn and he wanted to show her that every piece of him was in this relationship.

Holding her hands above her head with one hand he used the other hand and his mouth to leave a trail of heat up and down her arms, her neck and chest. Kim moaned beneath him as he sucked and licked his way across her body. Letting her arms go he pressed his body against hers as she dug her nails into his back. "Look at me." He whispered with a desperation that surprised her and she opened her eyes. Those beautiful soulful brown eyes stared back at him, holding his gaze as they finally came together. "I am so in love with you."

"Adam." A small tear escaped the corner of her eye and he kissed it away. She gripped the back of his neck; fingers tangled in his hair and pulled him into a long slow kiss. Her free hand holding his tightly as they continued to move in sync, deep and slow, heat and sweat mingling.

Kim lay curled into his side, Adam's arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders. He pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head. "I really did miss you." His hand entwined with hers as it lay on his chest. "Let's not leave it so long next time." He could feel Kim smile against the bare skin of his chest.

She could hear his stomach growling and realised that she was hungry too and declared it was time to order in. Adam groaned and complained as she pushed him out of the bed and demanded he find them something to eat. He pulled on his jeans and disappeared into the kitchen, coming back with two beers and a pile of take out menus, eventually they settled on Italian.

Kim tucked the sheet up under her arms and propped herself up against the pillows. She took a long pull on her beer. "So you are going to Felicia's Memorial Service tomorrow?"

Adam knew that they would have to talk about it and he wanted to let her in. He had missed talking to her over the last few days. It had been strength of theirs to date, their ability to talk and share their work, to debrief. "You're right. I should go." He reached for her hand and started making small circles with his thumb.

"I think it might help."

"She was a good kid, she thought she was doing something good. For the future of the planet. She seemed to love the excitement of it all but she was still so young and idealistic."

"You liked her?"

"I did, It was hard not to. She was just happy and friendly and a nice kid." He looked at Kim who was staring at the bottle in her hand. "That was all it was. I thought she was a great kid and didn't deserve what happened to her."

"I'm glad she had you fighting for her." He leant in kissed her softly.

"Not as hard as I would have gone for you darlin'." Kim leant into his hand as it rested on her cheek, a quiet moment between them that said more than any words could at that point in time.

Kim pulled out a long jersey dress to wear while Adam answered the door and paid for their dinner. They sat on the lounge, the takeout containers on the small table and plates balanced on their laps.

"So Al spent a week smoking bongs?" Kim laughed as Adam recounted their various undercover assignments during the latest operation.

"He did and man he was loose." Adam replied as he took another swig of his beer. "And Jay was busy collecting buckets of shit. Funny stuff. Basically they were all pretty harmless." He paused "Well until it turned to murder, of course."

"How do you think Felicia would have taken it knowing you were an undercover cop?"

"Pretty pissed I'd imagine." Kim noticed something flit across his face, a brief moment. "She razzed me about not calling her. I think she thought we had something going on." He took a deep breath and waited for Kim's reaction. She said nothing, instead leaning forward and grabbing some more food for her plate.

"And did you?"

"Did I what?"

"Have something going on?"

"No." he answered instantly and honestly. "Nothing at all. Never even crossed my mind."

"Okay."

"Hey, babe." He waited until Kim looked at him. "My job was to get in with this group and make them think I was one of them. I did that, I went to the meetings, chatted to them all, had a few beers and that was it. Felicia was friendly, even a little flirty but I just let it roll off me. I am with you. I am in love with you. I have zero interest in any other woman and I particularly have no interest in girl I met as part of my undercover assignment."

"Good to know." Finally she smiled at him, putting her plate back on the table. "I don't like sharing." Turning to him she took the plate from his hands and quickly climbed onto his lap, her legs either side and kissed him hard.

They'd done the long slow session, now the raw passion that they had shared in the locker room re-surfaced. He kissed her back hard, one hand holding her neck firmly with the other gripping her hip and eventually worked down her leg to tug her dress up over her hips, he was not surprised that she was wearing no underwear. Actually he would have been more concerned if she was. Kim certainly embraced wearing as little as possible when she was at home, a surprisingly fact that he had discovered early and he had to admit, he liked it a lot.

Kim pulled back momentarily so she could lift his t-shirt over his head before going to work on the buttons of his jeans, didn't take long before he also had her dress added to his shirt on the floor. Lifting her hips he wiggled out of his jeans and she slid down on his lap hard and fast. Her hands tangled in his hair as his helped her hips keep up their frenetic pace. His face was buried in her chest "Oh god Adam" she cried as kept urging her on and only when she shuddered around him did he finally let go.

Not long after he crawled into bed, exhausted from the lack of sleep over the last few days and emotionally drained but comforted by the body that was pressed against his.
