Light streamed into Nick's bedroom window illuminating Sara's body. He drops a kiss on her shoulder, then her back, his hands move lower still…………..beepppppppppppp!

Opening his eyes to a dark room Nick admits he'd been right about one thing that his recurring dream about Sara had finally stopped. Now he had a new dream about her every night in exquisite detail.

It had been several weeks since their last encounter at his apartment. They could work together again, laugh together, be friends it just took some minor adjustments. Like him switching to baggy pants. He'd learned to control his body when they were in the same room together but if she even brushed by him he instantly responded. Never would he have calcified Sara as a toucher before but with his newly heightened awareness of her, all she ever seemed to do was touch him. He had missed their friendship so much he refused to let this bother him. It would fade he knew it would fade.

Nick was kneeling above her his hands sliding down her torso coming to rest on her hips. His finger hocked around her panties. He smiles at her looking deep in her eyes silently waiting. Knowing what he wants she arches up. As he slides her underwear off he pauses to cup her bottom. He draws her right leg toward her chest and he runs his hand up the length of her leg guiding her leg out of her panties. Turning toward her left side he repeats the process.

"I can love you like that"

Groaning Sara reaches out and smacks her alarm clock. It seemed Nick's dream was contagious every night for the last several weeks she dreamed of their first time together. Only hers dream didn't stop at that moment. Hers plays until the shaky damp end.

At least things were going better at work. Last week they worked a case together. It had been just like old times except anytime he even brushed by her, her entire body flushed with liquid heat that settled at her mid point. They talk again, he started bring her coffee again. Nothing was more important then their friendship this would pass. It would surely pass.
