and someone else within the company is doing illegal activities.'

'So, we're dealing with a company that is illegally supplying a doctor with experimental drugs which caused the patients to manifest dissociative identity disorder and has a history of missing employees,' Barnes summed everything up. 'We'll all go home and get some rest and meet back here tomorrow morning. After the last couple of weeks, we could all do with the rest.'

Everybody got up from their seats and left the room. Barnes walked off into his office as everyone else grabbed their coats from their desks.

'Any plans for tonight?' Ally questioned Jacob, placing her arms through her coat sleeves.

'No. Kate's out with her dad and Belle's out with Ben. Might just be a meal for one,' he laughed.

'How about I cook?' she smiled. 'If you don't mind, that is?'

Jacob began to stutter, not wanting to say no. 'That'll be great.'

They both walked out of the office together and got inside the Mondeo. Jacob became nervous, even though he had strong feelings for her. He wanted to express to her how he felt but didn't want to rush because of how his last relationship with Lily turned out.

Opening his apartment door, Jacob got butterflies in his stomach. Ally put the shopping bag on the kitchen counter which was filled with ingredients they'd picked up at the local supermarket beforehand. She started to unload the bag and then started to slice the onions and peppers.

'Where are your pots and pans?' she asked Jacob as he ripped off his tie.

'Bottom cupboard to the left of the sink,' he answered. 'I'm just going to get out of these clothes.'

Ally raised an intrigued eyebrow. 'Oh, yeah.'

'I'm putting other clothes on,' he laughed.

As he entered his bedroom, he thought about how comfortable he felt when she was around. Ally made him feel loved and cared for, even though he knew there were others out there that loved him, but not the way that she cared for him.

After changing his clothes, he re-entered the kitchen to see Ally in full swing. It smells incredible, Jacob thought. She seems to be enjoying herself. Ally decided to put some music on. Her phone blared summer anthems while she danced and stirred the pot of sauce. Jacob chuckled at her as he sat watching from the breakfast bar, but Ally dragged him to his feet and danced with him.

'Time to let your hair down, DS Wright,' she laughed as she pulled him onto his feet.

Jacob was reluctant to dance at first but Ally was very persuasive and within minutes, Jacob was dancing along. It was the best fun he'd had since he and Belle played crazy golf. The music stopped and between gasping for breaths, they both laughed at the enjoyment they'd both had.

They gazed at one another. The laughing had stopped and they continued gasping for breath but their eyes continued to lock on to each other. Jacob stepped closer. Time seemed to slow down as the two of them edged closer together. Ally trembled as Jacob stood directly in front of her, gazing into her eyes. His lips leaned in closer to her's before touching in a passionate kiss. Ally had dreamt about this moment for so long, fantasising about him and scenarios like this. He pulled away momentarily, giving her time to breathe.

'I'm sorry,' he apologised.

Ally opened her eyes and said softly, 'What for?'

'For being so intrusive,' he explained.

Ally said nothing, just looked him in the eyes again before launching her lips on his full throttle. She didn't stop. Ally was in the moment and she took Jacob with her. They'd both longed to be loved and nothing else mattered at that moment. Ally ripped Jacob's t-shirt off after releasing lips for a split second but were back together in a few short seconds.

'I've only just got changed,' he joked, making Ally chuckle slightly.

They continued their passionate kiss while manoeuvring themselves to the bedroom, taking off a piece of clothing with every step. As they reached the bed, they'd stripped down to nothing more than their underwear.

They both took a moment's breath as Ally pushed Jacob on the bed, towering over him. She sat on top of him, kissing his neck while he undone her bra strap, and slowly slid it off from around her shoulders. Everything happened slowly as if the pair of them wanted to savour every moment.

Jacob pressed his lips against her chest, kissing every inch of her. They felt incredible, forgetting everything in their heated moment of passion.

Barnes knocked on the door. His stomach was fluttering with nerves before Vanessa opened it. She smiled as she noticed him standing in front of her.

'Joe, it's good to see you. Do you want to come in?'

'If that's okay? I know it's late but it's been one hell of a month,' he laughed and she did too. 'I just wanted to see the girls.'

She opened the door wide enough for him to enter. Her affection for him grew stronger since his kidnapping and her being held hostage. She loved him and always did, even through the divorce, but she couldn't keep being second place to his job. She wanted to be a part of his life again but knew he wouldn't give up the job for her.

Barnes crept upstairs with excitement. The twin girls were fast asleep, but that didn't bother him, he just wanted to see their little faces. Standing over the top of them, fast asleep, made him feel warm inside, forgetting his troubles.

'Beautiful, aren't they?' Vanessa said, also gazing at their babies.

'I've missed them so much.'

'I'm so happy you survived that...'

'I needed to. I didn't want anything to happen to you and the girls. I needed to stay alive for our family,' he interrupted her.

'And
