It started as random sex. We had a tough case, two kids were shot just because some freak thought it would be a cool experience to murder someone. We ended up in a bar and after an hour we were the last ones left. We took a cab and I invited him for coffee to my apartment.I would never have thought that we would end up in bed together. But it was great and just what we both needed. When I woke up the next morning he was gone. Back then I didn't knew why, but I wished he were there when I woke up. I wanted him next to me wanted to feel his body heat and his breath in my neck.

I never was in love with a man before and at this time I didn't thought I was either. But the next couple of days I couldn't quit thinking about our night together. And every time I saw him - which as quite often, we worked together after all - my heart started pounding and my hands got all sweaty. I didn't know what to do. It wasn't like I just could go to him and tell him that I fell in love with him, could I?I thought it was hopeless. But it wasn't.

I just got home and went to sit on my couch to feel sorry for myself when someone knocked on my door. I sighed before I answered it. And there was Don.

"I don't know if this is a good idea, but really I don't care anymore," he said and took a deep breath.I didn't know what to say, but it seemed I didn't had to yet because he wasn't finished.

"Maybe it shouldn't have happened the other night," he continued "But I regret nothing of it, because this was what I wanted since you came to the FBI three years ago," he took another deep breath and looked me in the eyes. And that's when I saw how sincere he was and I felt the smile spread on my lips.

"I love you Colby," he said "If you want to pretend as if nothing had happened that's fine. I just wanted you to know."

He loved me. He just said it and Don Eppes wasn't the kind of man that said something he didn't mean.

So I just took his hand pulled him closer and a second later I felt his soft lips on mine.

It started as random sex that first confused and than showed me that the one person I ever dreamed of was right in front of me.

Today we still have great sex but it's not just random, but full of love. And I am happier than I've ever been in my whole live. And that's all because of Don Eppes. Who would have thought that?
