Flashback

Michelle was alone in the room, concentrating on the screen in front of her. She didn't hear Tony enter. He stopped by the door and looked at her.

"I was wondering where you'd got to" he said, making her look over her shoulder, laughing.

"Keeping you distance at work is really working out for you, huh?" she said as he walked over to her, and wrapped his arms around her waist. She spun around in his arms, so that she was facing him.

"Well, what they don't know…" he leaned foreword and kissed her. When their lips finally parted, Michelle ran her hands slowly up and down his arms, before letting them rest on his shoulders.

"But if we keep this up, they will know." She said.

"Seriously, if you want me to be able to keep my hands off you, you have to stop dressing like that" he said, hinting at her black skirt. She laughed, and kissed him one last time, before gently removing his hands from around her waist.

"Get to work Almeida" she said, trying to sound serious.

"So you ARE only after my job, I KNEW it. See, you're already taking over the ship here" he replied.

"Go! If you behave, you might just get rewarded!" She teased

"Ooh, and what exactly will my reward be" he asked childishly

"Wait and se... Now GO, or we will both be in trouble" Tony left, somewhat unwillingly. And walked back to his office.

"Tony… Can I ask you something" Michelle asked. She was sitting curled up in a blanket close to Tony on the coach, and his arm was wrapped around her tightly.

"Hey, I thought you were sleeping" he said

"What is it?"

"That young agent, Nadine, who is she? and why was she with Ashrim?" She looked up at him with thoughtful eyes.

"She has been working undercover for one of the guy that provide Ashrim with some of his men, and when there was an opening for her to go in as a part of his staff, I asked her to take it, as an extra security for you I guess…" he told her honestly. There was no point in denying why he had sent Nadine in there.

"She is… special. Far too young to be a field agent, and on the record, she's not even a field agent, though that is mostly what she's sent to do now. She is probably one of the best in her field. I trained her a while back, and we've worked a couple of times since that."

"What do you mean by special?" Michelle's curiosity was growing.

"I don't know how to explain it. She is unafraid, to begin with. And usually that's a bad thing in the field. But she IS careful at the same time. It's like she's not afraid to get caught, or killed, she just won't give the bad guys the pleasure of bringing her down, if you know what I mean." She nodded slightly.

"Thank you" she said. Shifting her body, so that she was facing him.

"For what?"

"For sending her in there, i know you probably wasn't even allowed to, strictly speaking, and if she hadn't been there…" He could feel her body tensing slightly as her words faded.

"Shh… I will always do what I can to protect you, you know that. You mean so much to me" Michelle leaned over and kissed him. Softly at first, but soon he could feel her tongue begging for entry to his mouth. It was amazing what she did to him, he thought. The way she kissed him felt so right. He loved every part of her. The way she knew exactly what he wanted, and how to make his knees go weak, and her smile, her laughter. Good he loved that about her.

"Tony, have you seen my top? The pink one?" Michelle said annoyed.

"No sweetie, in fact, I don't think I've ever seen you in pink" he answered.

"Yes you have, you just pay as much attention to my clothes, as to what's underneath them" she teased, now giggling.

"That's true. Hmm, sure it's not at my place?" he turned around her, and walked over to her. She was sitting on the bed, with jeans and only her bra. He ran her fingers over her chest, and letting them slip just beneath the fabric.

"No, it might as well be, half of my clothes are…" she admitted. "And what are you doing, if I dare ask?"

"Don't"

"What?" she giggled as he pushed her, so that her back was now against the bed.

"Ask… Don't ask me what I'm doing" He stopped her from replying with a tender kiss.

"Mmm…" she gave in to temptation, and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. She dragged herself up towards the pillow, and with Tony now lying on top of he she pulled him down for another passionate kiss. She could feel his hands tracing every reachable parts of her body.

As the days went on, and Michelle slowly recovered, and went back to work, life was starting to go back to normal for the both of them. Tony enjoyed working with Michelle. Not only because he could see her every day, but the also worked well together, something even others had commented. They understood each other, and most of the time, they seamed to read each others mind.

Michelle grabbed the documents and walked up the stairs to Tony's office. The blinds were closed, as Chapelle had just walked down, after bursting in earlier, in a pretty bad mood.

"Hey, I have the files for you" she said, and was about to drop them on his desk, but stopped.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she said gently.

"Nothing, just Chapelle being an ass" he said, still not looking up at her. She dropped the papers at the desk, and walked around his desk, letting her arms slid around his shoulders.

"You do realise I don't buy that, right?" she said with a low voice, into his ear.

"Yeah, but it's nothing to worry about, I promise you. We'll talk about it later, alright?"

He lifted his head, and she slowly let go of him.

"Alright" she smiled, and gave him a soft kiss, and an encouraging look before walking around the desk again, and turning to meet his eyes one last time before heading back down.
