As Eva made herself a cup of coffee, the sound of the city waking up outside filled the quiet space. She stretched, trying to shake off the tense feeling that had settled into her bones ever since those cryptic messages started to arrive.

She hadn't told Joost because she hadn't wanted to worry him. However, she couldn't deny that the strange texts had deeply worried her. As much as she had managed to calm herself with yesterday's long day at work, part of her was still a little on edge. But today's a new day, she thought, taking a deep breath.

A knock at the door snapped her out of her thoughts. Who in the world was knocking so early? As she made her way to the front door, her frustration was palpable. However, as she peered through the obscured glass panels of the front door, she recognised a familiar shape, resulting in a large smile appearing on her face even before she opened it.

There he was. Joost stood in her doorway, weekend bag in hand, looking gorgeous, if slightly tired, but grinning from ear to ear.

"Surprise!" he said, stepping forward as Eva launched herself into his arms.

"Joost!" Eva's voice was bright with excitement as she hugged him tightly, her heart swelling with relief and joy. After the past few days, Joost's presence was the one thing she had been craving. She hadn't realised just how much she needed this, needed him, until now.

"I can't believe you're actually here!" she exclaimed, stepping back slightly to meet his stunning blue eyes before planting a kiss on his smiling lips. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Joost dropped his bag and grinned, brushing a bit of wayward bed hair from her face. "I wanted it to be a surprise, and I only booked it last night.

Eva beamed, happiness flooding through her.

The tension that had been sitting heavy in her chest since the texts began seemed to lift, replaced by happiness and the excitement of having Joost's arms around her again.

"I'm so glad you're here," she whispered, her heart racing as she hugged him again.

Joost leaned in, their lips meeting softly at first before deepening into a passionate kiss that spoke volumes of their longing for each other.

When their lips finally parted, they were both breathless, and Joost, his cock hardening in his jeans, pressed his forehead against hers. "I really missed you."

"I can tell." Eva replied, her voice barely above a whisper but a smile spreading across her lips. "You have no idea how happy I am that you're here."

"I told you it would make it even better when we did finally see each other in person." His tone was sincere, and his smile was wide and sexy as fuck. "Now, point me in the direction of your bed; I can't wait another minute to get my hands on you."

Eva laughed and pointed to the bedroom behind her. Joost reached down and picked her up with ease. She laughed at his adorable move and wrapped her legs around him. "Oh, how masterful!". Although she had made a joke, in truth she loved how easily he lifted her, and having her legs wrapped around his strong young body was just what she needed after the weeks of separation and the fear of the past few days.

As Joost moved through the door frame of her bedroom, they bumped a little and got a bit snagged on the door handle. Maybe it wasn't the grand passionate gesture he had in his mind when he decided to do it, as it made both of them giggle. But looking her in the eye as she let him know she was delighted he was there and watching her smile, a wide and genuine smile, was a lovely compensation for him. Her face was alight with joy, and the fact that he was the cause of it made him intensely happy.
