Grace moaned in ecstasy as Gabriel entered her. He filled her both body and soul. Gabriel groaned in need as he entered Grace. He'd wanted to be here for so long. He had wanted to be with her like this, inside her for an eternity. Grace felt him begin to move within her, thrusting almost violently. She welcomed each thrust of his with a counter-thrust of her own. Their combined movements entering a rhythm as old as time. Everything that had been before had led to this. Tonight they were together; finally joined as one. Nothing could change that now. This ritual would bind their souls for all eternity. Grace and Gabriel cried out in climax together, shuddering in release.

Gabriel awoke with a start. Sweat covered his body in a fine sheen and he wiped a hand across his face. It was the same dream he'd had for well over a month now. He was finding it hard to concentrate when Grace was around. He would take one look at her and the memory of this dream would play out in full motion video right before his eyes.

'Gabriel, you have got to get yourself a hobby. Either that or a women, only reason you're dreamin' bout Grace is because you haven't had a good lay in well over a month' he thought to himself as he lay back once again in his bed.

The thing he didn't think about. Indeed couldn't think about was he hadn't been interested in any other women then Grace since the last case.

Grace's Room....

Grace shot up in bed, the gasp of her climax still on her lips. She groaned loudly when she realised it was that dream again.

'What the hell is wrong with you Grace. You're becoming obsessed with that man. Time for you to go back to New Orleans and find some nice guy who won't treat you like a secretary.' She thought to herself.

Grace buried her head in her hands and groaned weakly. No matter what she told herself she knew she could no more leave Gabriel then she could stop breathing. What had been a mild attraction had become over time something as vital to her as her own life. She wasn't sure what drew her to him all she knew was that lately she'd been almost physically ill when not near him for even a moment.
