He has a frightening flashback to his childhood. Contains the last of any smut within this fanfic, i also wanted to show the emotions that Gene and Alex bring out within each other, maybe even describe why they feel them everytime both of them are together. Chapter beta read

As Gene sat staring at the blazing sunshine glazed window with his arms folded, wearing a robe, feet remaining straight on the legs of the armchair , he was deep in thought and concern, the sadness showing and reflecting in his face, letting the breezy wind brushed against the side of his hair in a southern fresh breeze . He was also still sporting the very bruised nose, the swelling clearly visible by his cheekbone, that he received after Ray had punched him the night before, Alex sat beside him curled up resting her head against his upper chest but not daring to speak, she thought it would be best that they should sit in silence for a least an hour or so. This was becoming a strange and sad point for him, worrying for his best mate that his head was being turned by that lying two faced cow and that she was trying to cause as much trouble as she probably can for all of the team from Fenchurch East station.

Alex sipped on her hot cup tea that she held in her hand before putting it down on the glass coffee table situated by the red couch , she bought the duvet over from off the bed and wrapped the duvet over both of their half naked bodies. Placing a hand on Gene's knee that reassured him that she would always be there for him in his hour of need and continue to forever love him for eternity. He smiled back glancing half a loving smile which left a warmth, kind , loving feeling deep inside her. They had to do something about this, it was a now or never situation that they were now faced with, to show Ray that his precious girlfriend was no more than a manipulative scheming woman. Alex feared that she would be planning the next move, taking Gene away from her, all she needed to know to be so sure of: Gene's promise not to let Janet get to him and that he would be not affected by the past incidents that happened over the last few weeks.

"You going into work anytime today?" She asked in a relaxed toned voice

"Well not with this bloody sore nose I'm not, still stings like bloody hell" Alex smiled moving her hand to feel his nose.

"Ouch it does look far worse than i first thought, i'll put some TCP on it later my take the sting away"

"Oh By the way Chris said that he and Shaz would be trying to find a location for Jack Finnegan today.. can't believe he lied to us the other week after all the questions we asked about the robbery which didn't happen in the end "

"Well one thing's for sure you were right in the end Bolls about Finnegan planning something but we need to still find out what is it that he's planning... I tell yer something when we manage to finally catch up with him I'll end up giving him the beating of his life for all the bad and horrible things he's put us through for the past few weeks"

" Please don't go too far Gene just remember I need you to remain strong for both of us here..I'm just scared most of the time of what will happen next..so I need your support and trust" she started to sob emotionally.

"hush Bolls come here .... don't want you goin all doey eyed on me again,,,you'll have me feeling all soppy next and that won't be a pretty sight to see now" he pulled her further into the warmth of his chest wrapping his arms around her tightly, gently stroking the curls of her hair, whispering softly about so much reassurance and tenderness into her ears. She pressed her head against his chest, being able to hear the sound of his heart beat through into her ears. Gene would have to eventually go into work, Chris and Shaz didn't seem to mind of course Ray would be put in charge for however long Gene chose to stay off work for.

"What am I gonna do to prove that she's probably even corrupt i reckon"

"Well You could have Chris search for any records on her.. do we know how long she's been a detective for?"

"Ray said around 6 years"

"And she would have to go through quite a lot of police training wouldn't she in order to become a policewoman or detective"

"Yes maybe ....You being very intelligent on me again...i find that teasing me too much to bear once again"

"Well I did have to train to become a Psychologist Gene..we're always clever about certain things" she laughed seeing that ever so present famous lip pout he would do when he thinks someone is trying to take the mickey.

While she was sitting on Ray's sofa Janet made another phone call to Jack Finnegan hoping to hear what he was up to "Jack it's me again if you get this message call me.. I think Ray wants to break up with me, he's starting to feel bad about punching Gene last night, dunno what to do" she whispered on the phone becoming frustrated that her partner in crime didn't seem to be answering all of her many phone calls.

"Who's that on the phone...someone from work" Ray asked looking curious as he dried his hair with a towel.

"No one... good shower was it honey"

"Err yeah only wish you had been in it with me"

"I know ,,, hope you don't mind but can I ask you a question" she tried to look serious as a moment of fear and panic starting to affect her thinking and facial expressions.

"Yes"

"Are you regretting getting involved me.. because it looks like I'm not very liked by Gene and your friends"

"Oh don't worry about the Guv...I'm regretting hitting him last night.. gonna apologise when I see him next.. just hope he understands that you and me are a proper couple now"

"Couple?" that idea hadn't hit her mind, she really didn't want him falling in love with her, as that would ruin any further plans she had in her mind games against DCI Hunt and DI Drake. For many months she couldn't stand the fact that DI Drake was getting much praise and had made more friends in the other Fenchurch police station, Janet really hated that it felt like someone had came in and treaded on her ground. Although they had never met before, she was hoping to make Alex suffer; the word jealously was on her mind.

"You ok Janet you look a bit nervous, is sonething the matter love"

"I'm fine...oh no forgot the time best be going to work... expected to hand in a file on that robbery that happened the other week down in the high street .. bye I'll see you later" the pressure was being to strain she couldn't go on lying any longer she was still determined to get her own way in her deal with Jack Finnegan.

Ray stood staring and confused to her strange weird behaviour, he chose not to believe any word Gene had told him about Janet. He himself was due in at work around 10am, hoping to see if the Guv would be today as he put on his new dark brown laser jacket on that she had bought him, the phone rang."Ray, its Chris need to talk to yer about Janet there's something you need to see in the office"He put the phone back down and exited the London flat unaware he was being watched by Jack, who didn't want to be told what to do by Janet. If his own plan was to succeed he would go about doing this on his own and doing it by his rules only.

"Thanks for letting us know Chris much appreciate it" Alex smiled seeming more happier than usual.

"So what did he say is it good news?"

"Chris has found something that can back us against her.. Apparently she was investigated for corruption..took bribes without letting her senior officer know"

"Bloody hell corruption that's all we need...all of these coppers nowadays are either corrupted or tempted into becoming""I know what you need to calm down"

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking Bolls because the answer's no.. well not while I'm like this now"

"Gene...please I wasn't thinking of sex just yet"

"oh really what we're you thinking of then... eh?"

"i was thinking about giving you a good massage.. try to release all the tension from your shoulders, relax them more better"

"that i like ..god I love your massages so bloody teasing they are" he teased eye twitching or winking , the look on his face told a picture as the smile beamed wider, taking her hand in his own, running circles around the palm of the hand. He closed his eyes for a brief second still continuing to massage her hand. The smile however soon turned into few minutes of fright and horror, having a flashback to when at the age of 5 years old he walked into the brightly living room of his house, wanting to play football with his dad only to see him standing tall over his frightened and scared mother, fists clenched, She was begging him not to hit her again, they both looked to see an emotional little Gene starting to cry.

"Son get in here" he ran after him up the stairs, only to find the bedroom door closed, banging heavily on it for half an hour. Little Gene covering his ear fearing that his dad would hit him next like he just did to Gene's mother. Gene's eyes opened widely in a state of shock and many emotions passing before him that he had never felt that badly.

"What's wrong..what is it Gene?" Alex looked concerned seeing him curled on the sofa head lowered looking uncomfortable.

"Just saw dad in my flashback dream.. just realised now when I asked him before he died whether he hit mum, he said he never did... "

"Did he lie?" she wasn't sure what to say, feeling so sorry for him.

"I hate him Alex... for what he did ,hitting her all the time and for hitting me.. too... " he sighed sadly feeling a batch of emotions.

"Come here Gene " Pulling him into her welcoming comforting arms holding him tighter. As he tried to gather up his strength and courage once more, Gene was suddenly amazed and happy that he had found a woman that seem to understand the pain he felt of reliving his traumatic past. He had never opened up to anyone else that emotionally before, always choosing to hide it all away. She was different from any woman he had been with in the past; he was able to put a finger on it as to why they could feel each other's many emotions. His ex wife never seemed to care that much in the last few years of their marriage, one thing that Alex didn't know was the real reason for Gene's break up with his wife, she had a miscarriage, the baby wasn't his as he soon discovered, which left him shell shocked.

"Gene come on we might as well spend the rest of the morning in bed" she tugged on his hand leading him back to the bedroom and closing door immediately.

"What is it you want to show me because if it's something to convince me that Janet isn't the right woman for me than i'm leaving"

"Ray would you just shut up will yer for once.. have a read of this"Chris pointed to the letter on the desk as Ray sat down to have a look at what it said.

Johnny Macguire thank you for your kind little donation to me last week.

I'm still taking bribes, stupid colleagues don't have any idea

It was fun using that DS to my advantage, he's so stupid to realise what kind of a woman I really am.

That last line in the letter was enough to make Ray's blood boil.

"Sorry you had to find out this way mate, Guv is right about not trusting her... had a phone call in to the station to say she might be involved with Finnegan"

"Can't believe she's been stringing me along with all these lies..."

"I know what DI Drake might tell yer right now if she had turned up to work today... she'd say try not to make Janet realise that you know.. just try to pretend you still don't have any idea"

"Blimey Chris that's probably the best advice you've given me and normally its always me giving you the advice"

"Must have learnt from you and Sam then didn't I" Chris smiled turning to notice Shaz was still extremely busy getting on with her work.

"At least I have a lot to look forward to in the future mate"

"What you mean little Chris' running around that'll be quite a picture" Ray said shaking his head at the thought of it, just about managing to get those angry thoughts of his mind, he knew that he still had to meet her for dinner later that evening, wondering if Finnegan could be watching.

Janet met Jack outside of Fenchurch West by the corner of the road in his car, "so you finally bother to meet me.. I've been trying to get in contact with you for a few hours now"

"Relax will yer... oh by the way I've decided I'm doing this on my own I don't need your help anymore... whatever you have planned for Ray Carling you'll have to do without me being around"

"What exactly are you planning by the way" she couldn't help but worry to herself, she knew he was a very dangerous former criminal who still had links to London gangs.

"Gonna do what should I have done in Manchester kill Hunt.. then I can breathe a huge sigh relief afterwards""No I don't want you to""aww having regrets are we?... for you wanted him away from DI Drake anyway... what did you think when I told you the other day about wanting rid of both of them"

"If you kill Gene Hunt.. She'll know straight away it's you who done it"

"Tough.... now get out my car will you.. have an important meeting to go to"

She slammed the passenger door of the car, scowling angrily at him as he drove away. She couldn't care less what he thought, she was going to persuade Ray to put in for a transfer, lure Gene away from Alex, make his girlfriend think he has cheated on her. Yes it was a cruel way to do it in this way but it had to be done, send Alex Drake away as far as possible.

Ray himself was watching on from his car, shaking his head not quite believing Chris, Gene and Alex were indeed right and now he had seen the former criminal and his own supposed girlfriend Janet together chatting and obviously planning the next move, He had his proof but wasn't sure about telling on her, telling himself 'come on mate you're stronger than this.. snap out of any feelings you have for her' .He knew that instinct was very right and as she left go back inside, he stood standing on the pavement, watching on , smoking the last bit of his cigarette, nervously, hands shaking sweating. Jesus he had never felt this nervous about anything in his life this was a testing moment but at the same it was the right thing to do. Stepping forward as he headed over the road to go in to the station.

"Chris has just phoned said Ray has gone down to Fenchurch West to report Janet to her senior officer about the bribes she didn't mention... hope he gets a proper result"

"yeah me too" Gene was having a shower, standing naked as he looked down at his soggy wet fingers and the water dripping from his hair, then looking back up to allow the hot water wash over his face. He was now wishing that Alex was sharing this shower with him.

"You ok in there is the water hot yet" she was almost tempted to join him in there, wanting to feel the warmth of his body pressed against her, to feel his cock within the grasp of her hand.

"Yeah fine, do want you to keep me company in here" shouting as loud as he possibly could through the sounds of the running shower tap.

"What?" she couldn't hear him as the noise of the water running seemed to blocking out Gene's voice, she went to open the door stepping forward to see the wet naked gorgeous body of her boyfriend standing leaning against the glass."Bolls come closer" holding out a hand for her.

"Well if you say so" rolling in her eyes in amusement as she approached him, never breaking eye contact.

He grabbed her hand pulling her in his direction, his wet soaked hands holding on firmly to both sides of her waist. His dark brown sparkling eyes stared deeply searching into her own for that spark of raw passion, how could she resist them, they bared a lot of hidden emotion and passion within them, something she was enjoying getting use to seeing.

"I said do you care to join me in this shower if you want to" his body sweated, water running downwards from his wet blond hair.

She thought for a few seconds, lips moving to the side of his mouth, thinking."Blimey Haven't got all day the shower woman i will be freezing me like a ice cube in a minute the longer you keep me bloody waiting on edge" he was starting to get impatient eyes dancing from side to side in frustration.

Making her decision as she then started taking her clothes off firstly unbuttoning her blouse, popping the buttons one by one as Gene's imagination starting getting the better of him, as his eyes stayed in one spot to see every part of new skin being revealed and then she moved her hands to her trousers unzipping the zipper before pulling it and her knickers down her long legs and then wriggling out of them before she eventually joined him in the hot steamy shower as they embraced in a heart warming comfortable hug. Pulling away from her body seconds later, his arms moved lower to wrap around her lower waist, placing the lightest of kisses across her forehead and down her nose. Not long after then to her lips taking in the sensation of the taste of them. His body felt like it had been set on fire from all of her kissing; when they always kissed each other the feelings of rightfulness and reassurance were always ever present. She opened her eyes to see the dark burns of flames burning deep within in his eyes, seeing how he reacted up close personal was a more of thrill for Alex. Over the past few weeks or so, they had made love at least 4 or 5 times, each time being more different than the other. Pouring all of their inner emotions into their passionate kiss as his hands wandered down her back, smoothing, teasing and expertly as he undid Alex's bra pulling each strap down on each arm before flinging the silky bra on the bathroom floor.

This time however it felt much more different, feeling more intimate and relaxing, they were fast becoming use to idea that they basically drove each other crazy, Gene pressed her up backwards against the wet steamy wall, tangling his fingers with her's to deepen the kiss, She spread her arms for wider to allow free better access for him to kiss down her soft tender skin. As he opened his eyes he saw what could only be described as pure bliss, in both of their eyes they saw the same passion and lust deep within their very body, heart and mind that they would always feel. How lucky he felt to be called Gene Hunt a stud, a hit with women but there was only one woman he knew his heart belonged to, he always wondered and felt unsure as to why he seemed to have this effect on Alex and even himself. He lowered his head down onto her neck, biting, nibbling, licking and kissing up and down, hearing the sounds of her excitement and panting.

"More..I want you Gene...make me feel it " she demanded, feeling her heart beat increasing.

"Yeah but the doctors said you shouldn't engage in any physical contact" Gene felt slightly worried that he was trying to coax her into full oral sex in the shower, all he needed and wanted was the company.

"I don't care I just want to show you how much I've missed feeling the intimacy that we've always shared between us" she started sobbing emotionally.

He looked down at her, wiping her tears away with his big strong thumbs. He knew she was right, he'd missed her too and missed snuggling up to her in bed over the last week, in which he spent lying in his bed staring up at the ceiling or being unable to sleep at night wondering why he was feeling the way he did about her. Was it starting to become more deeper than he first thought? She bent down before him in the shower hand moving over his length, massaging it gently, she looked up to see that what she was doing was doing the trick, seeing him curse and shout out filthy words, which he knew he shouldn't really say in front of her, she didn't mind. As her hand start pacing more quickly the sound of his voice became more louder before he knew he could feel his balls being sucked heavily by her mouth, moving his hips more closer.

"Sweet Jesus..Bolly.. You keep doing this and I'll have to squeeze your arse even hard..make you scream my name out in return"

"You wouldn't dare..always promises with you" she laughed slapping his wet chest as he growled, turning her round to face away from him, he gave a soft squeeze of her bum.

"That good?"

"That's very good indeed you naughty manc lion"

She still felt in slight pain as it halted any further actions she was planning to do with Gene.

"Bolls I did say... never mind we've got plenty of time.. I can wait for as long as possible" he dried her off with a towel wiping it over her breasts; she pulled his left hand over to her breast.

"Please" He looked hesitant to do so at first, but feeling his body tingle from head to toe drove him on eagerly.

"Please Gene" He sighed heavily as his hand cupped her left breast, massaging the curves of it and then rubbing his thumb over the nipple coaxing her into a frenzy of "yes'" seeing the pure ecstasy in her reaction, and then lowering his head as his lips finally took it in his mouth, sucking gently at first not wanting to rush his actions. She felt her body sparkling with so much electricity as she next felt him then carrying her in his arms back to the bedroom, easing down gently on to the bed and then placing himself to lie next to her.

As she dropped off into an afternoon sleep. About 30 minutes later she had woken up to see him feeling more of his anger building in his facial reactions "Gene" but he ignored her this time.

"Tell me what's really wrong?"

"I can't... I need a drink downstairs..I'll see you later" something was playing deeply on his mind that he didn't want to share with her. Just what exactly was troubling him, the flashback he had about his violent father or this case with DI Janet Foster, was this woman starting to get to him?

Ray couldn't do it as his conscience kept saying no, he had to do it properly and the only way could would be to tell all of her colleagues at DCI Roberts leaving do. She had humialted him with every word she said; now it was payback he walked back to his car, he noticed in the windscreen that Jack Finnegan was hiding in a car, maybe second thoughts perhaps. To Ray's horror he also had seen that Finnegan seem to be handling a gun and metal chain, was he out to kill that very would be best to warn Chris, Alex and Gene as he desperately tried to contact Chris by radio.

"Chris call Drake I think our old friend might be planning a murder of some sort"

Ray drove the car away as fast as he herself. Meanwhile Janet was getting ready to strike with her plan, putting on red bright lipstick in the women's toilets, rehearsing what she would say. "Hi Janet you seeing that DS Carling again tonight..."

"Yes and he might be getting very lucky with me again tonight" she was referring to Gene Hunt but her colleague assumed it was Ray that she meant.

Later on as Gene made his way down stairs to the restaurant, he made his way to the Gents toilet only to be confronted by dolled up Janet Foster.

"What do you want, don't you think you've caused enough trouble already" he snarled angrily at her not gving her direct eye contact which she noted.

"I know I have.. I'm sorry hope you can forgive me"

She started unbuttoning the top of her blouse expertly hand dipping inside of the blouse, smirking, hoping that it would make him flush hotter and have her in the toilets straight away, it didn't Gene remained defiant.

"Yer know I've seen women like you before thinking that they have all control over men being the temptress but you can't fool me love and so i'm telling you now to stop it whatever you trying to do Janet because it won't work me and Alex are rock solid gold"

"Not doing anything but seriously have you ever been tempted by another woman Gene come on you can tell me can't you...was it by yer know looking at their tits, knowing that you wanted to shag any woman you like up against a wall...having your way" she stepped closer towards him whispering it repeatedly in his ear, seeing his body movements become nervous.

"I've split up with Ray..." she undid further buttons, looking up to see him watching eyes remaining fixed on what he would see next being revealed. His temper started boiling over why the hell was she doing this?, the temptation was becoming ever too much as he wanted to grab this woman but his mind kept telling him 'that you love Alex she would never trust you again and she would leave your life forever'. Taking her blouse off in front of him,

"yer know I can strip for you if you want" she said smiling as she stood only her in bra, skirt and high heel shoes, just about ready to do take her knickers off . This is was starting to play heavily on his mind as he stood there knowing if he ended up cheating on Alex he would only end up breaking both of their hearts in a moment of madness and luring of seduction that he could possibly end up succumbing to. He was batting his deeper frustrations and temptation to brink of no return if he did the unthinkable this would surely end his 3 week relationship with Alex for definite.

"I'm waiting Gene either you want me or you want her it's your decision" she held out her hand for him, he stepped forward, taking one final look at her up and down with his eyes before deciding what to do. At that very moment back up stairs in her flat Alex was starting to have a strange bad feeling that something was about to happen involving Gene and Janet, she tried to brush away those worries.

Another big massive thank you to HuntsGirl for beta reading this chapter.

Sorry about the teasing... will he or won't he? You'll have to wait to read in the last chapter which will hopefully be the longest chapter i've typed up... i've toyed with ideas of different various endings and only manage to think of the right one just a couple of days ago.
