"How long do you think this is going to take?" Steve asked later. They were at the restaurant, waiting for Ted and Roisin to arrive, whilst sat on a pair of bar stools at the bar, each nursing a bottle of lager.
"I don't know," Kate replied. "But you will behave," she warned him, knowing all Steve really wanted to do was get back home with her.
"I could have done without this really," Steve retorted.
"Ssshh," Kate hissed. "They're here," she told Steve as she caught sight of the gaffer and his wife entering the restaurant.
"Steve! Kate!" Ted greeted as he walked towards them with a fixed smile on his face. "Steve, meet the trouble and strife," he introduced Steve to Roisin.
"Pleased to meet you, Mrs Hastings," Steve said as he held his hand out.
"Roisin," she corrected as she shook hands.
"You remember Kate?" Ted said to his wife.
"Yes," Roisin said. "How are you dear?" she asked as she gave Kate a kiss on the cheek.
"Good," Kate replied as she returned the kiss.
"Shall we sit?" Ted asked as he led the way to the seating area.
"How's your son?" Roisin asked Kate as they took their seats at the table.
"Good," said Kate.
"How old is he now?".
"Three,".
"My goodness, I remember when Ted was showing me pictures of him as a new born," Roisin commented. "And your husband?".
"He's fine," Kate said without expanding more. It was obvious she wasn't going to say anymore.
"Have either of you been here before?" Rosin asked.
"I haven't," Steve replied. "Looks like a nice place,".
"We've heard good things, haven't we, love?" Ted said to his wife. She gave him an awkward look before he studied the menu thinking of what to say next. Roisin knew exactly why Ted had chosen this place. She'd mentioned many times that she had wanted to visit. "Steve's been in AC a year now. Every day's felt like a lifetime!" Ted joked.
"That'd make me about your age, sir," Steve joked back before he felt Kate give his foot a warning nudge under the table.
"He likes the banter, the cheeky wee b-,".
"Ted!" Roisin interrupted. She didn't want bad language at the table.
"I was going to say, 'boy,'" Ted corrected himself. "Cheeky wee boy," he amended which earned some laughter. "See, Steve, you need a good woman to keep you on the straight and narrow," Ted advised his sergeant, hoping Roisin would take note.
For his part, Steve wanted to desperately tell his boss that he knew that and that he had found her. In fact he was sat right next to her. But he didn't. Just laughed along and hoped the topic of conversation would change.
"That was very generous, sir," Steve said as the group left the restaurant later that evening.
"Thank you, sir," Kate added.
"Pleasure," Hastings replied. The evening had gone well. He just hoped Roisin agreed.
"Lovely to meet you, Steve, and to see you again, Kate," Rosin said as she prepared to leave with Ted.
"See you tomorrow, Steve," Hastings said, "and good luck, Kate," he continued as he left with his wife.
"Night, boss," Steve said, pleased the meal had finally come to an end.
"Night, sir," Kate said as they watched the pair walk down the street and out of sight.
"Something's going on between those two," Kate said.
"What do you mean?" Steve asked.
"Didn't you catch the awkward glances she was giving the gaffer?" Kate asked.
"No," Steve said as he wrapped his arms around Kate and gave her an Eskimo kiss. "Back to mine?" he asked hopefully, not wanting to talk about the gaffer and his missus any more.
"I've no where else to go," Kate replied as she repeated Steve's actions of rubbing noses.
"Where'd you park?" Steve asked huskily. He had caught the bus earlier and was catching a lift back with Kate to his place. He wanted to get there quickly.

They had shared a warm relaxing bath once they had got to Steve's and were now resting on Steve's bed, Kate wrapped in a towel and Steve in his dressing gown.
"I'm going to miss this," Steve uttered quietly as he stroked up and down Kate's arm. She was tucked in to his side feeling quite drowsy after the lovely meal and bath.
"Careful," she replied as she played with the hair on Steve's chest. "You're starting to sound like Mark," she warned.
"I'm not going to stop you going undercover," Steve clarified. "I'm just letting you know that I'm going to miss you and our time together, that's all,".
"I will as well," Kate said as her hand moved south from his chest and undid the tie on Steve's robe. His body was displayed as the robe fell away and Kate couldn't help kiss Steve's chest as her hand moved further south.
Kate gently cupped his scrotum, feeling the weight of his testicles in her hand before rolling each one around. She felt Steve hiss as his scrotum tightened at her actions.
"Definitely gonna miss this," Steve said as he kissed Kate's temple as her hand moved slightly north and gently rubbed up his length before swirling her finger around his tip.
Kate smiled as she felt Steve twitch at her touch before he started to harden. She encouraged his arousal by encircling his girth and gently and slowly rubbed him from tip to base and back again several times. He was soon fully erect and sliding in to Kate.
He moved slowly, taking his time remembering how she felt around him. Every little gasp and utterance as he moved in her. This was going to have to sustain him whilst she was undercover. He fought his body's urge to speed up, instead remaining at a slow pace, wanting to make this last as long as possible.
All too soon though it was over and he was emptying himself into the condom as Kate spasmed around him. Pulling out he disposed of the contraception before tucking Kate in to his arms. They were soon fast asleep. Steve slept solidly and when he awoke, Kate was gone.
