“Let me take care of you Maddie. That’s all I want.” He said putting his hand on her thigh and she stared at it for a moment.

“About that.” She said turning to face him and he raised an eyebrow expectingly. “I’ve been thinking about my apartment.”

His face changed to an expression she couldn’t read. “Go on.” He said.

“Well, seeing as I pretty much live at yours already…” She said and he began caressing her leg, slowly, lovingly. “I thought maybe I should bring some more things across. Things I need.”

“Move in you mean?” He said and she rolled her eyes.

“Do I have to actually say it?” She asked.

“Yes Maddie. I want to hear you say it.” He half ordered.

“Urgh fine. I was thinking maybe I should just move in, properly.” She said not looking at him because she knew he had a smug, satisfied grin right there, right across his entire face.

“About bloody time.” Cole said before grabbing her face and kissing her hard. She gasped, kissing him back.

He shifted his weight, pulling her around and under him and she let out a groan and not a good one.

“What’s wrong?” He asked immediately stopping.

“Nothing. It’s nothing.” She said but he narrowed his eyes.

“It’s your leg isn’t it?” He said watching her face.

“Fine. Yes, it’s been a bit niggly.” She admitted.

He gave her a look like he didn’t believe that was all it was.

“It’s been an intense few days. I had to run down our target myself to stop him from escaping.” Maddie said.

“I’m sure climbing all those stairs last night didn’t help either.” He stated and she laughed.

“No but I think we both agree it was worth it.” She replied as he leant to stroke her hair.

“An intense few days huh?” He said moving so that his weight was no longer on her and then he pulled her to lie with her back against him on the couch.

“Very intense.” She gasped as he unbuttoned her jeans and started sliding them off her arse.

“So no more physical activity for you.” He stated, tossing them onto the carpet and looking down at the still very visible scar where she’d been shot.

“No, complete bed rest I think.” Maddie replied looking back up at him and the corner of his mouth curled upwards.

“Bedrest eh?” He muttered as she felt his hand sliding down across her hip and under her knickers.

“So this would be too much?” He said, his fingers spreading her labia and rubbing against her.

“Way too much.” She gasped, clenching her muscles as his touch sent shockwaves through her.

“Hmm that’s disappointing. “ He commented. “And this, this is too much too?” He asked plunging two fingers inside her and curling them over and over as she kicked out moaning.

“Oh god Cole.”

“It sounds too much.” Cole said pulling them out and moving to tease her clit.

“Can he hear us?” She gasped and Cole shook his head.

“He can only hear inside the cockpit.” He stated before rubbing her harder to make her moan as if it was proving his point.
