Realisation

More

Nikki awoke suddenly the next morning. She opened her eyes, startled at the bright light that was coming into the room, why hadn't she closed her curtains last night?  It took her a while to adjust to the light, and the slow realisation that she wasn't in her own bed.

She felt a warm body pressing into her back, and a large arm draped across her hip, and all the memories of last night came flooding back.

Jack.

She lay still for a moment as the memories flooded through her mind. She remembered how he had touched her, used his mouth on her, filled her completely. Her sexual appetite had been off the scale last night, she hadn't been able to get enough of him. She waited for the inevitable feelings of regret and shame to cloud her mind, but they didn't come. In fact, she felt happy, content, excited, and she found that she couldn't wait to turn around and see him again.

She turned over slowly, trying not to wake him, and came face to face with those sparkling green eyes. 'Morning Dr Alexander' he smiled. 'You are insatiable' She snuggled into him, smiling whilst wrapping her arm around his naked body, and entwining their legs together. 'I can't help it if you drive me wild Jack Hodgson' she laughed.

He pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head as he wrapped his arms around her. 'It was definitely the best way to celebrate a fight win' he chuckled.  'You should come more often'

She moved her head back from him slightly so she could look up at him and smile. Their eyes met and they held each other's gaze as their lips met, slowly and softly.

She could feel her desire building up already. How had she worked so closely with him for so long, without this happening between them before. She could feel that Jack felt the same, the way she could feel him hard against her, pressing into her thigh. She wondered if he had always felt this way, or was it as new to him as it was to her.

She ran her hand down his bare back, and onto the top of his thigh, before she felt his hand stop her. Shelifted her head to look at him, with confusion in her eyes. 'As much as I would love to spend the whole day in bed with you Nicola, we have to get to work'

Nikki sighed.

'But you could join me in the shower' he suggested

Nikki didn't need to be asked twice as they both clambered out of bed, Jack pulling her gently by the hand. He stopped at the bedroom door, and held her away from him as his eyes roamed all over her naked body. 'How are you so beautiful' he said. She could feel her desire growing as his eyes wandered over her, making her nipples harden and feeling the heat pooling between her legs. 'We could always phone in sick' he smiled as his hands went around her waist, and down her thighs as he lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around him as their lips met and he backed her up against the wall. Her hands knotted in his hair as she pulled him into her, deepening the kiss, tongues dancing with each other.

Jack lifted her up higher before she felt him entering her. He gasped as she bit down on his shoulder and he felt her fingers digging into his back. It was so deep this way. He thrust himself into her, whilst holding her up against the wall, and Nikki cried out as her legs tightened around him. Her back was banging against the wall, but she didn't care. The feeling of his hands gripping her thighs as he rammed himself into her, his moans and pants of pleasure, her hands gripping around his neck as she buried her face in his shoulder, until they both came together,  before sagging against each other, hot, sweaty, breathless.

Jack set Nikki gently down on her feet as they kept their arms wrapped around each other, both needing the support as they came back down to earth. 'I have no idea how I'm going to keep my hands off you in work' Nikki admitted, pulling back slightly to smile at him. He pressed a kiss to her lips. 'You'll just have to be professional Nicola' he smirked as he led her into the bathroom, just as his phone started ringing.

'Ignore it' Nikki said as she tugged on his arm, pulling him in the direction of the shower. Just as his phone stopped ringing, Nikki's started. They both looked at each other and groaned.

'I think we'll need to pick this up again later' Jack said as his phone started ringing again.

'Thomas, hi. Really. Why so early, can't they wait. OK, I'm on my way. Nikki? No I haven't seen her' He said the last line as he softly dragged his fingers from her shoulder, down over her bare breasts, as she smiled at his lies. He smiled as he ended the call and planted kisses on both breasts. 'I will see you here in this exact position after work Dr Alexander' he smiled, kissing her lips again. 'But right now the DI is at the Lyell, and apparently it can't wait until a more reasonable hour'.

Nikki let out a sigh. What she would give to spend the whole day here, with Jack, in his bed, and his shower, his living room, anywhere really, as long as it was with Jack...

'Shit' said Nikki suddenly. 'My car is at the gym and I don't have any spare clothes.'

'We'll go in mine' he said. 'Say I picked you up or something, and you can just wear what you had on yesterday, no body will notice'

'Jack. We work with Clarissa, of course she'll notice'

Jack laughed 'Well then, you'll just have to be honest and tell her that you've finally realised that you can't keep your hands off me'

—————————————————————-
Jack walked into the Lyell before Nikki, not to make it too obvious that they'd arrived together.

'Morning' he said to Clarissa. 'They already in the meeting room?'

'They are' Clarissa answered, looking up from her work. 'You've got a spring in your step this morning. Win your fight did you?'

'Of course' Jack chuckled as he put his bag down and headed off towards the meeting room just as Nikki arrived. Their eyes met quickly and something passed between them, which didn't go unnoticed by Clarissa.

'Morning Nikki' Clarissa smiled brightly, noticing she was still wearing yesterdays clothes, and that her make up wasn't as well applied as usual.

Nikki smiled and said hello before following Jack into the meeting room.

Clarissa sat back in her chair, thinking, before wheeling herself across to the window, from where she could see the entire car park. She spotted Jack's car, but not Nikki's. She sat back with a smile on her face.

The meeting didn't last long, leaving Jack annoyed that he'd had to come in early for such a short meeting that could have waited. He grumbled as he made coffee for everyone. 'Can't believe they got me out of bed for that'

'In bed alone were you Jack' Clarissa questioned, her eyes moving to Nikki, who kept her head down, although Clarissa noticed her cheeks flushing slightly. Clarissa smirked to herself, she knew exactly what was going on, and she intended to have a lot of fun with these two.
