Hi all, here is the next chapter. Thank you again for sticking with my story, all the fab reviews and followers, means a lot to me!

Okay, as this one is a 'iccle bit smutty' (ahem) at the beginning of this, there is a strong M warning.

Chapter 7

Ste and Brendan were led together on the bed in Ste's hotel room. Brendan was on top of Ste looking into those beautiful blue eyes waiting for an answer.

"Well? Come on, a spy? That sounds interesting!" Brendan asked.

Ste felt very awkward and tried to kiss Brendan, anything to get out of this conversation.

"I am a spy yes, have been some years now. It's a busy job, and takes over your life, so you don't really get to relax or meet anyone, properly anyway." Ste explained.

Brendan was listening intently while peppering kisses down Ste's jaw and neck.

"Hmm, so are you on mission in Ireland then, where I first met you, or is it here in Liverpool?" He asked.

Brendan was enjoying the taste of Ste's skin on his lips, wanted to eat him all up. Ste closed his eyes, the feel of Brendan's lips felt amazing, and his moustashe tickled him too, just like he thought it would.

"Yeah, Ireland, but anywhere the job takes me really. Been all over the place, the traveling the best part." Ste replied.

"Bet the money ain't half bad either"Brendan smirked as Ste was looking into his eyes again.

"Can't be easy though, being up against bad guys, lucky you have that weapon of yours, else you would be in trouble" Smiled Brendan

"Hey! Are you calling me weak?" Ste asked.

"I'll show you" Warned Ste.

Ste quickly moved his leg between Brendan's,grabbed hold of his arms and before Brendan knew it he was flipped over onto his back and Ste pinned him down by his wrists. Brendan tried to move but couldn't. Ste really was stronger than he looked. Brendan burst out laughing, and smiled.

"Kiss me Steven" Brendan pleaded.

Ste took his lips onto his, soft and sensual. Mouth desperately clawing on his lips like he was running out of time. Ste sat up and moved to straddle over Brendan, he opened up his shirt moving it to fall over the sides of his body.

He felt his hands over Brendan's chest pressing his finger tips into his skin down along his stomach, leaning in with his face he kissed him on the neck sucking hard on the skin, leaving a bruised red mark, Brendan winced his body up and groaned at the pain as Ste's teeth to bit down on the nape of his neck. It wouldn't leave his skin for a while, he slowly licked over it and kissed the bruising mark he'd left.

Crawling lower Ste worked his way down, tickling with his tongue exploring Brendan everywhere his exposed skin was showing. He sucked at his nipples over and over till they stood pert,and nibbled with his teeth on them. Brendan was groaning and his hands were now smoothing down Ste's back.

Brendan used his nails on him to claw his way down to Ste's lower back and moved his fingers between the cheeks of his arse, circling the hole gently. Ste moved his face upwards and moaned with pleasure, closing his eyes as he felt the touch of Brendan's fingers. Brendan slowly pushed in the tip of his finger and made Ste groan out loud keening he arched up his body, his breathing now a shudder.

Brendan brought his fingers up to his mouth and sucked them down, wetting them up with his tongue, catching and holding eye contact with Ste, he turned on watching as Brendan lapped at them suggestively , before he put his fingers back at Ste's hole and smoothed his wet fingers,feeling around the hole and pushed in deeper, Ste arched his back and moaned Brendan's name on a long breath.

He felt a tingling shoot through his body and stir his cock harder, Ste moved his hand there to stroke himself. Brendan moved up and onto his knees, grabbing Ste on his arse cheeks he lifted him quickly onto his lap and pushed his finger into Ste's hole, moving it in and out as Ste's moaning got louder, he pushed in two fingers and kissed Ste deep swallowing his moans into his mouth. Moving a third finger into Ste wanting to loosen him up and motioned to Ste to push back up and down onto them, Ste's cock was hard and leaking pre cum as he pushed Brendan's fingers deeper inside him,Ste felt his mind coming apart.

"I want you inside me, Bren" Ste was breathless.

Brendan removed his fingers, reached to the side drawer next to the bed, he grabbed a condom, and tore it open,Ste took it in his hands and molded it over his hard cock,Brendan found some lube and smoothed it onto his fingers and pushed them back into Ste hard,his body was rocking on them moaning loudly Ste bit over Brendan's neck to muffle the sounds he was making.

Ste stroked more lube over Brendan's cock made him all sleek and wet ready for him, they kissed together hard as Brendan removed his fingers out of him,again grabbing hold of Ste by his soft arse cheeks, lifted him up and ground Ste onto his throbbing cock. Brendan pushed in,as his hole sucked on him wantonly till his whole length pressed inside and up against his sweet spot. Ste instinctively wrapped his legs tight around Brendan's back pulling them closer still,rocking them together.

They were close with each movement, both keening, they had wanted this since they first met, bodies writhing, and moving in time with each other like couldn't get enough in this one moment,moaning each others names they both climaxed and kissed heavy through the shudder of their orgasms.

They laid together curled up tight. Ste was laying on Brendan's chest listening to his heartbeat.

"Steven,that was incredible, where the hell you been all my life huh?" Brendan sighed contently.

Ste laughed and sat up on his elbow looking at Brendan."Who knows Bren ,i have been a lot of places!" Ste shrugged his got up and was walking to the bathroom.

"Just gonna take a quick shower" Ste winked.

Ste wriggled his arse at Brendan who laughed. He thought about joining him, and stood up off the bed. As he looked around the room he spotted a file, it was the mission file, Brendan checked to see if Ste was there, he heard the shower and Ste singing, or trying to sing anyway.

Brendan got the file and had a look through it, he saw his name,Dannys,Walkers and Foxy. He looked at the photos in the file, of him at the airport, and the notes Ste had made, about going to Bradys, about following him to Liverpool. His businesses, the drugs.

He knew in that moment.He was Ste's assignment.
He'd been a total idiot, and let himself be used. Brendan grabbed his clothes and started to dress himself, swearing under his breath.

Ste came bounding out of the bathroom with a big grin on his face and a towel round his waist.

Brendan was gone, door wide open and his mission file spilled out all over the floor. FUCK he sighed.

He grabbed his room card and ran out into the hall. Brendan was stomping down the hallway towards the lift, Ste screamed out at him.

"Brendan! BRENDAN, please wait! Let me explain!" Ste caught up to him.

Brendan turned around with a face of anger."Don't Steven, just don't"

He put up his hand as to cup Ste's face but stopped and jabbed at his chest.

"You know what, lets just call this what it is, I am your assignment and you just fucked me over good" Brendan walked to the lift and pressed the button.

"Oh god,no, Brendan,please,just let me explain" "You owe me that much at least!" Steven pleaded.

"I don't owe you SHIT Steven, you used me, and I fell for it, fell for you hook and line" Brendan clapped his hands at Ste, "Well done you, go back to the government and get a fucking gold medal"

Ste was beside himself, so he grabbed hold of Brendan and shoved him up against the wall. Ste put his forearm hard up to Brendan's neck and held him there.

"You WILL listen to me Brendan. God help me I ain't going through all this crap on a whim, I am giving up everything for you, you are going to listen to me" Shouted Ste.

Brendan seethed at Ste, his eyes were dark. "I'm surprised you didn't bring your gun with you, finish me off right here!"

Ste's eyes glazed over as he whimpered. "You think I am here to kill you?" "No, Brendan, I'd never...I couldn't ever hurt you, not now"

"Yes I was sent here on a mission, and yes you are my assignment, and I came over to Ireland expecting everything...except you" Ste spoke softly.

"The day I got my assignment was the first I saw your photo, Bren you took my breath away"Ste tried to explain.

"I've compromised the whole mission, this is just so crazy, Bren I am, I think I am...falling for you" Ste closed his eyes and looked at the ground.

Brendan blinked as he felt a twang of pain in his stomach.

"I have been trying to set Danny up to take the fall, I have been protecting you, I still am doing that. I have 48hrs to report my findings, then I am going to kill Danny" Said Ste.

Brendan started to calm slightly, but he was still trying to get away from Ste's grip.

"That makes it all okay then does it?" Brendan asked.

"I am being investigated, I DO drug shipments, I DO distribute them, and you have all the evidence against me. Killing Danny will only put a plaster over it all. That can be ripped apart anytime, and you know it" Brendan shouted.

Ste sighed, he knew he would struggle to clear Brendan's name completely, but he wasn't going to give up.

"I made a decision today, I decided this was gonna be my last mission, I am tendering my resignation, for you." Ste sighed relieved he'd got that off his chest finally.

"Yeah?Well don't bother, I ain't asked you to do that, now let me go, I have listened to you" Brendan retorted nastily.

Ste let his arm down and stood back to let Brendan move from the wall. He couldn't believe how much his heart ached; he wanted to rip it out of his chest.

"If you leave now, you'll never see me again Brendan, I will be going back to London. "Ste said.

"Make sure ye give my regards to the Queen when ye get back there then" Brendan spoke cruelly.

Deep down his chest was aching too, his stomach doing somersaults and when he got into the lift, and the doors closed on Ste's beautiful face Brendan threw up in the lift.

Brendan stood up in the lift took his fist and pounded it over and over into the mirror, until his reflection was shattered into a million pieces, just like his heart felt. He was mad at himself for being taken in by Ste, even though he knew how he truly felt, nothing like ever before. His knuckles pooled with blood as he winced at the pain.

On a plane somewhere over the Irish sea.

Walker and Warren were sat on the plane bound for Liverpool. They had found an uncomfortable silence between them, neither of them knew what to say to the other. Warren was busy eyeing up the flight attendant to care much anyway. In the end Walker spoke.

"So come on Warren, what's going on, why are we flying out to meet Brendan?" Walker asked

"Well, he wants us to help him, doesn't he? Needs some real men to help him out, as he too bloody old and weak to do owt" Warren laughed.

"Better not let him hear you talk that way, he'll kill ye" he put on his best Irish accent and they both laughed.

"I thought you two were at odds anyway?, I'm surprised you're here to be honest." Said Walker.

Warren sighed "He's alright Brady, when he gets off his high horse. It's that Kevin that needs a good talking too, trying to cause shit. I don't have any cause to steal off Brendan, at the moment anyway" Warren smirked.

"Oh right, so you didn't rough up Kevin then? Hmm, if you say so" Walker smiled to himself.

"Hey! Are we gonna have a problem now? If I had done it I'd have been gloating and in Brady's face too, nope someone else got it in for the moustachioed man" Warren closed his eyes and settled back into his seat.

The next morning

Ste was in the hotel room, he'd got changed put on his gun,grabbed his phone, room card and paused at the windows. He looked out onto the streets of Liverpool, saw people going about their daily lives, traffic zooming around. It was a cloudy grey day, and it mirrored his mood.

He hadn't even bothered going to bed was just awake time watching every minute and hour. He looked at his phone and call log, he had called Brendan 7 times last night at various times, but answer machine picked it up each time.

He then got a text msg through, he opened it.'Thought you might need it, look in the hotel car park. D' Darren thought Ste, what has he done this time? Ste gathered up his belongings and left. He wandered over to the hotels car park gave his name to the attendant and asked if something had been left for him.

The assistant asked him to wait a moment, and then he saw his BMW drive up beside him as the assistant got out and smiled. Ste rolled his eyes, how does he do that! He thought, Ste threw his bag into the back and drove out of the car park.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Brendan was sat in his office drinking a large whiskey and watching the CCTV footage from the club again, he kept playing the part with Ste over and over, as his thoughts raced. He took a large swig and downed the drink, as a knock at his office door made him look up.

"Dumb and dumbest" he smirked.

"Erm, you can shove that comment where the sun doesn't shine Brendan, is that anyway to greet ya saviours?" Drawled Warren

Warren came in and sat down on the couch as Walker muttered "Boss" nodded and stood leaning against the wall.

"What you watching boss?" Inquired Walker as he noticed Brendan had his eyes glued to his laptop.

"Nothing important anymore" Lied Brendan, he wasn't ready to mention Ste into this meeting just yet. "Gentlemen, thanks for coming" He said.

Brendan walked around to, and sat on the front of his desk. There was another jar of lollies on it. Brendan grabbed the jar and took a lolly out and popped it into his mouth, and rolled it around his tongue. He gestured the jar to Walker then Warren.

"Want one?" he asked.

They didn't so he turned to put the jar down, and stood up. Popped the lolly out of his mouth and said "Let's finish this boys". They all left the club and got into Brendan's car outside.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ste was sat in his car outside Danny's place. Going over and over yesterday in his thoughts. Deciding he had to finish this stupid mission, and get the hell away from here and Brendan. He was about to open the door when he saw a car pull into the yard of the same place.

He crouched himself down into his seat and looked across. He saw Brendan get out of the car and his heart leapt into his mouth, he swallowed to try push the feeling back down, and watched closely as he saw Brendan wasn't alone, Warren Fox and Simon Walker joined him as they entered the building.

Inside Walker,Warren and Brendan walked into a large room. There was a bar at the side and a dance floor in the middle. Over to the other side of the room were tables and chairs,the room was flushed with a deep red colour. Over to the back of the room was a large set of stairs leading up to a balcony and office room.

Brendan stood in the middle of the room and shouted "Oh Danny boy?"

"Come out, come out where ever ye are!" Brendan spoke joyfully in tone.

He put on some leather gloves and started to smooth out his moustashe.

Both Walker and Warren looked at each other, and Warren leaned into Walkers' ear and said "He's a fucking fruit loop!" Walker just shrugged and watched on.

Danny walked out from the office above,and walked on the landing. He leaned over some railing and gestured over to Brendan's company.

"Needed someone to hold your hand Brady? So sweet" Danny whistled as two men grabbed hold of Walker and Warren.

They were swearing and shouting as they were shoved onto their knees, tied up and heads pushed down.

"Oops, looks like it's just you then Brendan,what a shame" Danny descended the stairs laughing to himself.

He motions to his heavies, as one of them went to the front entrance while the other stands back in the doorway. Walker and Warren are tied up helpless,struggling at their binds watching Brendan and Danny.

"I have been waiting an age for this day Brady",says Danny as he strode out on to the dance floor.

"Ye wanting to dance Danny? Ye only had to say,where's the music?" Brendan smirked.

"Oh there it is,the Brady wit" Danny looked unimpressed as he circled around Brendan.

"Here's the bitch,I want the business for myself, you were just a means to an end". He holds up a gun to Brendan's head.

"Any last words Brady?" Inquires Danny

Brendan smiles "What,no pillow talk first? Aww" "Hm, let's see, oh yeah! What time is it?" Brendan asks.

Danny is taken aback at his question. "Why you want to know what time it is?" He drawled.

"I have a programme on reminder at home, don't want te miss it" Brendan laughed manically at him.

Danny sighed and walked up to him leaned in and punched Brendan in the mouth hard, making him bleed.

"You ain't funny Brady" He said as he booted Brendan in the chest as he let out a long breath.

"Far from it, you are a worthless fucked up psycho, that no one gives a shit about" he laughed in Brendan's face as he carried on beating him down with his fists.

"And once you are out of the picture, that pretty sister of yours will need someone to comfort her huh?" Danny laughed.

Brendan looked up his eyes darkened and glazed over, his fists were now clenched tightly re-opening the wounds he had got from smashing the mirror earlier.

"And I will pay her a visit, and give her all the comfort she needs" Danny's eyes were shining.

 Brendan scrambled to his feet and swayed, "I will kill ye Danny,watch me if I don't".

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ste gets out of his car and walks around the car Brendan got out of. Looks inside the window of it, not sure what he was expecting,but nothing much to be seen. He walks slowly to the building entrance and listens.

He hears a lot of shouting, so he takes his hand into his jacket and grabs his gun. Ste then moves his gun down and taps the barrel on the door, before standing around the side out of sight.

One of Danny's men opens the door and walks out as Ste thumps the side of his gun at the man's temple, bringing him down on the floor. He takes hold of him and drags him behind some crates out of site. He adjusts his suit and walks inside the door.

Ste can hear noises of a beating going on inside as he notices another man stood in the door way to another room. So he creeps up behind him, and quickly wraps his arms around his neck and squeezes.

The man makes a high pitched noise and Walker turns his head around, and see's the man from the other day, the one who Brendan was sitting with, draining the breath out of a man behind him.

Ste lets the man droop in his arms and moves him out of the way. He looks at Walker and now Warren who are both looking at him, and Ste gestures to them and puts one finger to his lips.

Brendan manages to turn the tables and get a few punches to Danny's stomach making him crouch on the floor, he kicks him in the face as Danny flies backwards and lands on his side. Danny moves his arm out and points the gun hastily back at him again, stopping Brendan on the spot. Danny grins staggers to his feet,nose dripping with blood,he puts his finger on the trigger when a voice stops him.

"You should really keep an eye out for who's sneaking up on you Danny" Ste says assuredly.

Both Danny and Brendan look up and see Ste stood there wearing a killer hot black suit, his arm stretched out with a gun pointed at Danny. Brendan and Ste share a chased moment as Ste looks at him and winks. Brendan's jaw opens that wide it almost hits the floor.

"Brendan,pick up your tongue darling,before you dribble all over me" Ste beams.

Brendan closes his mouth and licks his lips involuntary of course,as he feels his cheeks heat up rapidly. Danny grabs hold of Brendan screwing his arm behind his back tightly, he points the gun at Brendan's temple pushing his head to the side with the force.

"You really should use a better bargaining choice also, like Brendan Brady dead is gonna make any difference to this situation" Yawns Ste.

Brendan looks at Ste in disbelief, why would he say that, when Danny has a bloody gun at his head! His thoughts are clouded.

"Steven..." Brendan whispers.

Danny moves the gun lightening fast to point at Ste when BANG the sound echoes through the building as a dull thud of a man's body slumps to the ground.
