She sighed in relief when her alarm went off at eight in the morning.

As she jumped out of bed, she didn't notice Rhys watching her, a sad look in his eyes. She made her way to the kitchen and started making herself a cup of coffee. Her own coffee would have to do until she got to the Hub and had some of Ianto's special coffee.

Soft footsteps padded in behind her. She turned and smiled.

"Morning sweetheart. You're up early." She said.

"I wanted to see you before you went to work. I hardly ever get to see you these days." He told her.

Gwen felt a lump in her throat as she realised he was right. She'd always left early and come home late. Some nights she didn't come home at all, spending the night working or at Owen's.

She went over to Rhys and wrapped her arms around his neck. He pulled her closer to him by wrapping his arms around her waist. She kissed him, pouring as much love as she could into the kiss.

"I am so sorry." She whispered when they broke away.

"I know your job's important but it would be nice to spend more time together." He told her.

"I know. I'll try to get home earlier." She promised.

Rhys lifted her face to his and kissed her. Gwen turned back to making the coffee.

After having a quiet breakfast with Rhys, she got ready for work and headed to the Hub.

As the cog door rolled open, she noticed Owen coming up from the autopsy bay and to his workstation.

"Morning Gwen. Did you sleep well last night?" He asked, winking at her.

Gwen blushed and looked away. She hastily hung up her coat and sat down at her computer. Owen raised his eyebrows at her and proceeded to his workstation.

"He knows." She thought. "No, don't be stupid. Of course he doesn't know."

As they worked, Gwen couldn't stop glancing out the corner of her eye at him. Sometimes he'd catch her and smirk causing her to blush more.

They soon found themselves alone when Jack had taken Ianto and Tosh to go Weevil hunting. The tension was unbearable.

As Gwen stood at her computer, she didn't notice Owen sneaking up behind her. He grabbed her around the waist causing her to squeal. He spun her round to face him.

"Owen, get off me." She protested.

"Why? Don't think I haven't noticed you looking at me all day. Couldn't keep your eyes off me." He smirked.

"You can be such an arrogant shit sometimes Owen." She growled.

Owen laughed and pushed her softly so she sat down on her desk. Placing himself between her legs, he pulled her face so it was inches from his. Their lips brushed and Gwen fought the urge to kiss him. Owen could see the conflict in her eyes as she gazed into his. He traced patterns lightly on her thigh with one of his hands while the other kept her face close to his. Gwen closed her eyes as her pulse rate accelerated. He began to move his hand higher until Gwen grabbed him by the collar with both hands and kissed him passionately. Owen pressed himself against her and ran his hands through her hair. She began to unbutton his shirt as the sound of sirens filled the Hub.

They quickly broke apart and stared wide-eyed at the entrance. Jack took in the sight of Gwen's messy hair and Owen's crumpled shirt and frowned. Gwen quickly jumped off the desk and tried to untangle her hair with her fingers. Owen walked off, mumbling something about needing the toilet.

"Everything ok?" Jack asked as he entered the Hub.

"Yeah fine." Gwen nodded. "Erm…I just need to go…check on Janet. She seemed to be acting a little strange."

"Tosh and Ianto can do it. They're down in the cells putting away another Weevil." Jack told her.

"Oh…"

Before Jack could say anything else, she ran to the toilets to find Owen.

Just as Owen was coming out of the bathroom, Gwen ran up and pushed him back in.

"See, you can't keep your hands off me." Owen smirked.

"Owen shut up. That was too close and I think Jack suspects something." She said.

"If he didn't before, he does now." Owen laughed.

"Owen, will you take this seriously?" Gwen hissed.

"Sorry." He sighed. She looked into his eyes and smiled. Standing on her tip-toes, she kissed him gently. "So, I guess that means I'm forgiven?"

"Yes." She giggled.

"Are you coming to mine tonight?" He asked. Gwen thought about her promise to Rhys but she couldn't resist another night with Owen. She nodded and looked away. "Why do you keep doing that? I know you're not shy."

"If you must know…I sort of…didn't sleep too well last night…"

"Why was that?" He smirked. Gwen mumbled something under her breath. "Sorry, I didn't quite catch that."

"I couldn't stop fucking thinking about you." She shouted.

Owen grinned in triumph as she stormed out. He slapped her arse on the way making her stumble and curse under her breath. Owen watched her go. When she disappeared through a door, he wiped the grin off his face.

"I couldn't stop thinking about you either." He whispered.
