apartment, still exactly as he left. Michelle had taken responsibility to fill it with fresh groceries. Alistair and Alex would be available if he needed anything.
    The sound of automobile tires crunched against the gravel on the driveway. Thea felt sick to her stomach , but a few breaths cleared her nerves. She went to the door, pulling it open just as he opened the back door of the car. Her first glimpse of him was heaven on this earth. His brown hair had golden highlights from the sun , but his brown eyes hadn’t lost their flair. She wasn’t used to seeing him with a beard, but she’d adapt.
    As he turned, he caught sight of her and froze as she did, several feet apart. The driver eased away quickly, leaving them to reunite in private.
    “Dex,” was all she managed before taking the few steps separating them. She launched herself into his arms, and he caught her with delight. For long seconds they didn’t move, simply held on to each other. Reluctantly, she pulled away, her eyes meeting his for the first time in two years. She saw the small lines around his brown eyes and took in the deep tan he’d acquired. His face was half covered with a trim beard and moustache. Automatically, her fingers moved to touch it. “We thought you were dead.”
    “I was inside, Thea. God, how I prayed I’d get to see you again.”
    “Dex, I’ve missed you every day.”
    “Let’s go inside, Thea, I want to kiss you properly and I don’t want to do it out here.”
    Her smile widened, and she moved with him. Dexter picked her up against his body and moved quickly into their special place. Dex let her feet fall softly to the floor once they reached the inside of the house. Only then did he turn her to face him again, drinking in the sight of her. He held her gaze as she drowned in his. As if in slow motion, her arms slid up around his neck and her head came to rest on his shoulder.
    “Dex, if this is a dream, I never want to wake up.” Her lips touched his warm skin under the collar of his shirt, and she felt him sigh against her.
    “Thea, we’re both real, and I know we have to talk, but for right now, just let me hold you.” He pulled her closer , and it wasn’t long before she felt his tears against her cheek. Somehow, with him letting go, she was able to also. Her tears fell silently at first, her body relaxing against him. Soon they were both crying, tears of sadness and joy.
    Dex recovered first, his hands moving to the sides of her face, his thumbs wiping away moisture from her cheeks. It was then his lips met hers for the first time in two years. Heaven existed for both of them once again. There was no discussion, no need for it. Thea sank to the carpet before the fire and pulled him down with her. In a flurry of arms and legs, discarded clothing and a sprinkling of laughter, they joined quickly, both wanting the reassurance. It was over too soon, but they didn’t care. It was as if it were something to get out of the way. Thea smiled at Dex as she snuggled against his bare chest, her fingers running through his dark , curling hairs. She hadn’t felt this good since the night before he left for the trip, the last time they’d made love.
    In a passing thought, she felt like a virgin again. After two years her body had forgotten how it felt to have his cock inside her, stretching her until her body yielded and accepted his thrusts.
    “Some things never change, Dex. Get rid of the first load quick and enjoy the second,” she joked with tear-filled eyes.
    “Something like that,” he told her, pulling her tight to him.
    “Are you hungry , or do you want to talk?”
    “Thea, I know some of what’s happened. I need to know the rest before we have to go back over the weekend. But for right now, I want food and then a long soak in the tub with you. Any problems with that?”
    “No. You’re too skinny. Tell me, do you want real food or dessert?” Her eyes lifted to his and they both laughed.
    “Food first, and
