Authors Note: I wasn't planning to write a follow up but having received a number of requests, here is what happened when Danny and Lindsay got home from the airport; it's very short! Not only did she ask for the chapter to be written, she also beta'ed it so another huge thank you to Sally Jetson.

Rated M for the smuff!


Those moments before waking, where dreams and reality were one; when he could convince himself that his heavy, sleep filled limbs were draped over her, and not her pillow, had been Danny's happiest moments since Lindsay had left him. As the morning light crept around the blind he entered that familiar half conscious state, enjoying the feeling of warmth as his mind tricked him again into believing she was there next to him…….

A movement jerked him fully awake and he found himself staring into a pair of sleepy chocolate brown eyes, and realised that his hard, muscular limbs were tangled with softly rounded, silky smooth, feminine ones.

She reached a hand out and gently stroked his face as a slow, satisfied smile curled the corners of her mouth. Danny caught her hand and placed a soft kiss on its palm, watching as desire flared in her eyes and he felt his body's response as he remembered their return from the airport the previous night…………..

They had barely made it through the door as the need to reclaim each other, to reclaim their love was so all consuming. As the door slammed shut, propelled by a push from Danny's hand that in the same movement dropped his keys unheeded to the floor, Lindsay was already tugging at his belt buckle, whilst her mouth remained fused to his as their tongues continued their heated passionate dance.

As she undid his belt and the button on his jeans he pushed impatiently at her jacket, wanting it's bulk gone, needing to be closer to her. She moved back, taking him unawares, leaving him slightly off balance and he grabbed the wall for support. She shed the jacket and quickly pulled her jumper over her head and dropped it to the floor. He stopped midway through tearing off his jacket, transfixed by the sight of her and he had to grit his teeth as just the sight of her rosy nipples through the black lace of her bra nearly sent him over the edge

Heat flooded her eyes as she took in his reaction and she attacked him again, ripping the jacket from him and sliding her hands under his top, forcing his arms upwards as she swept it over his head, leaving his chest exposed. He caught hold of her, his hands cupping her ass as she let him support her weight whilst she wrapped her legs around his waist and melded her lips to his again. Her tongue probed every crevice of his mouth and his limbs were rapidly turning to jelly as the heat in his stomach spread to every part of his body, leaving him shaking with desire.

He knew he couldn't last much longer. He managed to find the door to the bedroom and pushed it open. With his mouth still fused to hers he managed to stagger, on legs that were feeling weaker and weaker, to the bed and collapse onto it, with her underneath him. He pulled back, his breathing ragged. He didn't need to say anything, she understood and she kicked off her boots and began to wriggle out of her jeans as he did the same before joining her on the bed.

'I want you now Danny, now'

Her voice was raw and her nails were digging into his shoulder. He had shed his boxers as he had removed his jeans; now he slid her panties down her leg, feeling her kick them out of the way before wrapping her legs around his waist as he entered her, hearing her moan and tighten around him as they started to move together in a well remembered rhythm, feeling the intensity building between them until he knew that it had to be now

As he felt the white heat explode within him he heard her cry out his name as, head flung back, she followed him into oblivion…………….

Now, as the morning light softly lit the bedroom, he lay, staring into her eyes, aware of nothing else in the world other than her. He could feel her breath, whispering softly against his face and he knew that he had never felt happier.

'I love you'

Tears filled her eyes at his simple declaration; she tried to speak but emotion overwhelmed her, as he reached out and gently wiped the tears that had begun to spill down her cheeks

'Marry me'

Tears and laughter mingled as she propelled herself into his arms, her mouth seeking his as she kissed him passionately.

'Is that a yes Miss Monroe?'; his voice cracked with emotion as he broke the kiss

She tightened her arms around his neck as she nodded her head; tears still spilling down her face even as she laughed. He tightened his arms around her as he buried his face in her hair; she was home and she was staying.
