It had been two weeks since that first night home, that kiss, that passion fueled night that reminded Lucas both how incredible Dominique was as a lover and… how much his own prowess had dampened in the 12 years since Tahoe. Dominique hadn’t cared one little bit, relishing in the connection they had both denied for so long. It was like they hadn’t missed a day and he couldn’t believe the woman truly loved him as much as he loved her. The last two weeks had been exhausting and invigorating, knowing that they were finally… at long last… together. They kept things quiet, not wanting to let the love they finally found to become public knowledge too quickly.

The pair had spent afternoons enjoying coffee at small shops near headquarters and evenings enjoying each other. He felt like a teenager with her and while he knew she would never be Mary, she was… in every way… unique and beautiful, intelligent and kind.
