Funny, how life never works out the way you expect it to.
Closing the door behind him again he set his keys down on the little table in the entryway. This trip had cost him a lot. But it had opened him up to the possibility of being with someone again. It was a long stretch between a few days in a foreign country with an alluring and damn sexy woman, to making a life with her. But he felt cheated for not being allowed the chance to try to make it happen. He looked around his empty kitchen space, his empty living room with the overstuffed couch. This place of his had never seemed so big or so lonely to him.
He flipped the lights on. And blinked.
His living room was not empty.
"How did you get in here?" he asked her.
"Well Theodore—," Gillian paused, "if you want to keep people like me out, then get better locks."
"Fair enough," he admitted. "Uh, but how did you find me?"
She shrugged. "A girl has her ways."
"Saul send you to New York to protect museums interests?" Theo said, in somewhat of a harsh tone. "I told him we'd settle up."
"Saul and I are through. That self-centered prick is more concerned about himself and the stupid board of directors than his girlfriend. We were having issues before, but my participation in shenanigans involving one Professor Theodore Cutro seemed to be the final straw."
Theo stood in stunned silence as Gillian crossed the room and stood before him. She was truly an amazing woman. And that lock-picking talent could come in handy. "That sounds like Saul."
"You kept your promise Theo. You got me out of there alive."
"That's what partners do, they look out for one another."
"So we're partners now?" Gillian said sarcastically. "I thought you worked alone?"
Theo just smiled, took her by the hand and led her to the bedroom.
They fell in bed easily, taking pleasure from the closeness of each other's skin and the heat of their bodies. Gillian was a natural at so many things. Sex was easy for them.
But then, sex usually was easy. Life was hard. He knew there was a lot that still needed to be worked out. But as he drifted toward sleep the only thing he was thinking about was the next escapade with Gillian.
"Gillian," he said, barely awake, his hand caressing the small of her back, "have you ever heard of the Devil's Sea?"
She murmured something he couldn't quite understand. He thought about waking her up to ask her again, but then decided just to let himself fall asleep.
After all, they had all the time in the world.
Afterword
