either him or his partner?”
    “No way! Can you imagine bringing that up in conversation… Oh, and by the way, since your accident I know exactly how you are feeling al the time, especial y when you and your boyfriend get it on.” She blurted it out before she even thought about what she was saying. Her face flushed. “Oops. I didn’t mean to say that bit out loud.”
    Faye’s eyes rounded. “Oh my, it’s that detailed?”
    Hol y put her elbows on the table and rested her head in her hands, suddenly weary now that it was out. “Yes, and it’s driving me insane. It’s like having a ful -on live sex show running in my head when they are…you know, together.”
    Across the table, it was Monica’s turn to give a wry smile. “Welcome to my world, honey.”
    Hol y lifted her head and nodded. “Yes, now I know how tough it’s been for you al these years.”
    Was it a gift, or was it a burden? Hol y stil hadn’t decided.
     

Chapter Three
    “I’d love to come to dinner, thank you so much for inviting me.” Hol y’s response to Stewart’s invitation was immediate and instinctive, but as soon as the words were out she wondered what the hel she was thinking of. Sitting at a dinner table in close proximity with the two of them al evening… Sounds divine . That was lust speaking—not to mention a hefty dose of curiosity—and she knew it. When she tried to be more level-headed about it she realised it was a ludicrous idea.
    Even now, when they were standing on the second floor landing casual y chatting for a couple of minutes, al she could do was look at Stewart and imagine him the way she’d seen him in more intimate circumstances. The man was a total hunk, and she almost felt as if she’d had firsthand experience of his dominant touch, because of her psychic connection with Joshua. Her libido was ramping up, making her al hot and bothered, and this was a quick chat. Being with the two of them like that for any length of time would be damned hard work and it was liable to push her over the edge.
    Stewart grinned at her, and that left her blushing and speechless. Ever since she had moved in, two years before, she’d thought he was an attractive man. Back then she was sharing with a friend. Caroline used to joke about the hunk next door. He left early in the mornings and Hol y had to go out of her way to catch a glimpse of him. She was glad she did. The man was downright gorgeous. Of course she hadn’t a clue that he was into other men, not back then.
    Caroline used to cal him the Scottish hunk. With his defined features, spiked blond hair and gym-built body he was a downright treat to look at. He lived in the city but he was no metrosexual. His gruff accent and forthright manner made it even more of a treat. Besides being the quintessential gym man, he’d kept the rugged quality of his homeland in his manner. She’d never have guessed that he was gay and until her psychic link with Joshua developed she was oblivious. They didn’t act like a couple around each other, not in public at any rate.
    Stewart was obviously pleased that she’d agreed, and his smile was so devastating it was hard to muster a suitable excuse to backtrack and say she had a prior engagement.
    “Great, it’l be fun,” he said, genuinely pleased. His gaze flitted over her, as if he was intrigued by her appearance. Her dental hygienist uniform did that to some people, as if they were trying to work out if she was a nurse or what.
    “How is Joshua feeling, now that he’s back at work?” She asked the question to give herself a moment to reconsider whether she should make her excuses and stay away.
    “Much better, thanks. In fact things are almost back to normal, which is a big relief for everybody involved.” His Scottish accent sounded so good, she could listen to his voice al night.
    Yes, she mused fleetingly, it was a shame she couldn’t hear what he whispered to Joshua while he handled him. She jolted at her own wandering
