When a case came in, it was all hands on deck; when it led to you all going undercover, neither of you thought twice when Liv told you that you and Nick had to pose as a couple in a restaurant bar. You sat at a table together, Nick’s arm around you, your hand on his knee as he whispered sweet nothings in your ear. It wasn’t relaxing with so much at stake: you were all on edge already; then shots were fired, and you and Nick had to duck out of the way. That led to a rush to a house not far away, in pursuit of the shooter.

You were all standing outside the house you were all about to raid looking for where a child - who you thought was a victim’s daughter - was meant to being held. Liv had asked you to stay with Elena – the apparent victim -  and Nick strongly agreed. You conceded reluctantly, getting back in the squad car after Nick pulled you aside,

“You know why I want you out here right? I know you can handle it. But I want you safe.”

“I want you safe too…” you looked up him and he grabbed your hand giving it a squeeze.

“I’ll come back to you, I promise”

You got in the car and turning to look out the back window as everyone else moved inside. You watched everyone disappear through the door and you heard gun shots ring through the air. Liv came over the radio with “Shots fired, officer down”. Your blood ran cold, your breathing heavy and you let your guard down, when you felt a tug on your holster and the back door opening.  Before you had a chance to call it in, your door opened and you felt cold metal press against your temple,

“Get out” Elena ordered you. Clearly she wasn’t a victim after all.

You stepped out of the car, your hands up in surrender, with a stone cold face, trying to hide the fear pulsing through your body. Elena walked around behind you, still holding the weapon to your temple telling you to walk, her other hand around the back of your neck guiding you. Adrenaline was running through you and your ears were ringing when you heard another gun shot and you screamed loud. Elena had pulled the gun away briefly and shot the tire on the squad car, the air hissing out.

Nick heard the gun shot and your scream, rushing back out of the door of the house, followed closely by Liv. He looked over at the squad car, seeing both the doors open and the flat tire and then Elena rushing you around a corner,

“I got her,” Nick blurted out to Liv and ran off as fast as his legs would let him, Liv calling in for more back up and running not far behind Nick, Amanda and Fin heading the other way to see who could get to you first.

Elena pushed you down an alley way, telling you to walk faster. You tried to talk her down, at least to get the weapon off you, but she wasn’t having any of it. You had just got to a metal chain fence with a gate that was locked when you heard Nick and Liv running up behind you, both yelling at her to put the weapon down. Elena grabbed your arm turning you around, but you could still feel the smooth metal pressing against your hot sweaty skin. You looked up, locking eyes with Liv first and then with Nick, seeing the fear in his, and his jaw clenched tight while Liv tried to negotiate with Elena.

You saw Nick’s eyes scan behind you and the slight rattle of the fence before he looked back at you giving you a slight nod. You turned like a flash grabbing Elena’s hand pushing it away knocking the weapon out of it while Amanda jumped down from the fence, grabbing her hands and cuffing her. Liv grabbed her cuffed arm pulling her out of the alley reading her her rights, giving you a smile as she walked passed you. You lent up against the brick wall doubling over, your chest heaving and your eyes filling with tears. Nick rushed over to you grabbing your face in his hands lifting your head to look at him,

“Baby, are you ok? Talk to me,” Nick searched your wet eyes.

“I-I let this happen. I wasn’t paying attention,” you gasped through a sob. “I panicked when I heard officer down and I thought-“

“Oh baby,” Nick sighed pulling you into his solid chest. “It’s not your fault. When I heard you scream...” Nick trailed off and you could hear his heart thumping in his chest. “I never want to lose you.”  

“I promise to be careful,” you gave him a soft smile.

“Me too,” he said, kissing the top of your head.

You finally walked into your apartment, after all statements were taken, therapy appointments booked, Liv telling you that you had the rest of the week off. You walked slowly up your short hallway followed by Nick, who shut and locked the door. You paused for a moment and then turned around, your eyes locking with Nick’s, both staring so intensely you were surprised you both weren’t puddles on the floor.

Nick pounced first, his arms going around your middle lifting you up off the floor your legs wrapping around his middle, your arms wrapping his neck. Your lips met his, yours tongues pushing into each other’s mouths as he walked you both blindly into your room. Nick broke the kiss looking up at you and your hands went to his cheeks,

“I was so scared I was going to lose you today” Nick said, just above a whisper.  

“I know. I felt the same,” you said, holding his face. “You know, I never worried about the danger of our job before…”

“I’ll always have your back,” Nick said, lowering you onto your bed. You felt the comfort of the soft mattress, the cool cotton. “Maybe we should think about telling Liv about…well, about us?” You sat on the end of the bed, looking up at him. He gave you a little smile and pulled his t-shirt up over his head, revealing his beautifully toned body.

“Are you suggesting we make this official?” you demanded, raising a playful eyebrow at him as soon as he emerged from his t-shirt. Nick smirked, leaning down over you, one hand pressing into the mattress either side of your body.

“And what if I am?” he said, his mouth close to yours, pressing a kiss to you before you could reply.

“Then I’d be very happy,” you replied when he let you, reaching a hand up to run over the back of his neck. You hooked your fingers there and pulled him in for a longer, lingering kiss. “You know, I realised that today. When I thought I could lose you, I realised how lost I’d be without you, already.”

“This is starting to sound serious,” Nick said, smiling softly.

“It is, isn’t it?” you said, kissing him softly. “I’m happy with that…”

“Me too,” he agreed, and you could see the warmth in his eyes. “And we should tell people at work.”

“Amanda will be thrilled,” you said with a laugh. Nick just nodded, eyes sparkling.

“But right now,” he said, “there’s just us, here, alone. On your bed.”

You looked from his face down to the bed, and back up to him. “Oh yes!” you replied, before you wrapped your arms around him and pulled him down on top of you, falling onto your back. Then you put your mouth to his ear. “And you know they said we’d be good to go without protection now…” The thought made you temperature start to soar.

Nick smiled warmly and very softly stroked over the fading bruise where your contraceptive implant was under your skin. Another step in making this a serious relationship. Then his mouth was on yours, his hands moving over your body, kissing you passionately, his tongue pushing into your mouth, as he covered you with his body. You went from making out, hands exploring, to pulling and tugging at each other’s clothes until, eventually, you were both naked on the bed. He trailed open mouthed kisses down your throat, sucking and nipping at your soft skin before taking a nipple between his lips and sucking and teasing with his tongue. You moaned, stroking your hands over his skin. “Nick?” you said eventually. He lifted his head and looked into your eyes.

“Yes, Y/N?”

“Make love to me, Nick?” you asked, hearing the emotion in your own voice.

“I want nothing more, querida,” he said softly. He trailed his hand gently down your body, slipping it between your thighs, finding your folds, teasing with his fingertips, encouraging you to spread your legs, give him more access, rubbing over your clit softly, enough to make you moan again, with how good it felt, as he kissed along your collar bones and onto the swell of your breasts. But you needed more connection with him, even as his fingers started to push you towards your climax.

“More Nick…need you inside me…” you whispered, cradling his chin and tilting his face to yours, looking into his eyes. Whatever you were calling this relationship, it was starting to feel a lot like love. You wondered if he felt it too.

Nick smiled, slowly moving his hand out from between your thighs and sliding it to the inside of your knee, pushing you gently wider, eyes on yours as he moved and you felt the head of his cock sliding through your folds where you were so wet and ready for him. He leaned down and pressed his forehead to yours, breathing the same air, as he pushed forward and slid into you slowly. The stretch as he filled you was gentle and deep. You watched the reaction in his face, one of sheer arousal. “Oh…you feel so good baby,” he groaned in a deep tone, stilling for a moment to get used to the intense sensation of being inside you, bare for the first time. He was buried deep in you, circling his hips softly, each movement sending waves of pleasure through you. You wrapped your arms around him, pulling his upper body down against you, kissing him again, at first softly and then full of need.

He broke the kiss gently, propping himself up and starting to move his hips, pulling back and then filling you again completely. You gasped at the intimacy of such slow, deep thrusts, feeling every inch of him. He was breathing heavily too, as he started to quicken the pace slightly, one of his hands moving to your breasts, squeezing and caressing, teasing your nipples into hardness. You rocked your hips with his movements, your bodies moving together, as you both grew hotter, the arousal rising between you.

He started to fuck you harder, and you wrapped your legs around him. Nick pushed one of his hands down between your bodies. “Come with me…” he urged, as he started rubbing circles where you needed it the most, as supported himself on his other arm, his bodyweight on you, thrusting into you powerfully, still looking into your eyes.

“Feels amazing, Nick,” you said, your voice ragged with arousal. You were feeling emotional as well as turned on, and you could tell he was too. You could feel your orgasm getting close and you moaned.

“Are you close, baby?” he said, urgently. “I’m nearly there…”

“Yes, Nick, yes…” you panted, as he rubbed harder. “I’m going to come,”

“Yes, with me, now…” he gasped, thrusting all the way into you and stopping, the thought of him spilling his seed deep inside you all you needed to send you over the edge into your climax, pleasure bursting in waves through your whole body, clenching around him as his cock throbbed in you. After the initial intensity had passed, he bent his head and kissed you, his tongue pushing into your mouth as you both shivered through the aftershocks, the kisses slow, sweet and lingering.

As he eased back, still inside you and his body pressed to yours, he put his hand on your head and stroked your forehead with his thumb. You could see what he wanted to say written all over his face. So you decided to say it first, the emotions welling up inside you, tears pricking the corners of your eyes. “I love you, Nick Amaro.”

You saw him fight back tears too. “I love you, Y/N. When I thought I could lose you, I knew it for sure. I just didn’t want to freak you out by saying it.”

“I said it for you,” you said, smiling.

He nodded, looking lost for words. You pulled him into your arms and held him close, feeling his warm, solid body close to yours, sighing with happiness, knowing you felt the same way as each other.
