Wind rustled the curtains as Gene Hunt lay dreaming.  He had gone to bed alone but, as always, he dreamt that he had a companion.

A companion with gentle hands that stroked, not punched; with strong arms that wrapped around him without hurting; with warm breath that spoke of tales of forbidden lust for his own sex.

In dire need, and still more than half in the grip of the dream, Gene Hunt reached for the impossible - only to find it waiting for him with a need matching his own.

"Are you real?" he whispered as hungry lips devoured him.
