The house was silent when Cale returned almost two hours later. He’d been as quick as he could be, grabbing a bag of blood from the cooler as soon as he stepped into his hotel room, and then actually feeding on it as he jumped in the shower. It had been the fastest shower in history, he was sure. The bag at his teeth hadn’t even been empty by the time he got out, but he’d dried himself one-handed, and then begun to dress in fresh clothes as it finished.

After that Cale had only taken the time to throw more clean clothes into a bag to take back with him before rushing down to his car. Both the stop at the hotel and then hitting the Tim Hortons drive-thru on the way back had probably taken him less than twenty minutes. However, Alex’s house was a good forty-minute drive from his hotel, which was where most of the time had gone.

Now he closed the front door, engaged the lock, and carried the food and coffee into the kitchen before removing his outerwear. He quickly put them away in the hall closet, and then moved quietly upstairs. Cale heard her slow, deep breathing before reaching her door, but eased it open anyway to be sure. He smiled widely when he spotted her curled up on her side with her back to him, sleeping peacefully away.

Cale eased the door closed, turned on his heel and rushed back downstairs. She was sleeping! The thought raced madly through his head. They could share another dream! The thought had him already half-erect before he’d even reached the living room and the waiting couch. Diving onto it, he settled himself on his back and closed his eyes, eager for sleep to claim him and the dream to start as it had earlier.

“Hello?”

Cale’s eyes popped open and he sat up to peer toward the empty doorway with a frown. This wasn’t a dream. He’d barely closed his eyes before Alex had called his name. He must have woken her closing the door. Sighing, he called, “Yeah?”

“I thought I heard you come in,” she called from the top of the stairs. “I’m just going to grab a shower. I’ll be right down.”

Cale’s shoulders slumped. It seemed there would be no more shared dreams for now. Damn! He’d been looking forward to it. Sighing, he stood up and moved back out to the kitchen. The food and coffee still waited on the table. Cale collected plates and silverware for two. He had poured their coffees into cups and unwrappedand set the food on the plates by the time Alex entered the kitchen. Her hair was damp but brushed, she was dressed in jeans and a blue sweater, and she smelled of oranges and spice as she joined him at the table.

“Wow, it’s still warm,” she said with pleasure, pressing a finger to the top of her sandwich.

“Oui. I got it at the coffee shop just around the corner.” Cale settled in a seat across from her.
