They hadn't met for over 20 years, since spending two years at university screwing each others' brains out. After completing his marine biology degree Steve had chosen to wander the world while her history degree had left Anna to find a job at a secondary school close to her home town. Eighteen months later she was a single mother with a beautiful baby girl, glad not to have to put up with the brute that got her pregnant on a very drunk date arranged by a fellow teacher.
Steve's wandering ended twelve years later when he was promoted to head of a research station in Madagascar. Cut off from the world, he looked up his friends through alumni and contacts sites on the internet, where she had registered some years earlier. So contact was re-established.
At first their messenger sessions were mundane, chatting about Anna's growing daughter and Steve's mindless job in paradise, but inevitably the conversation drifted into personal matters, girlfriends, boyfriends, frustrations, dreams. As these frequent sessions became a more important part of his life in isolation, he upgraded to an audio connection and she was able to hear his smooth voice again.
Then one evening, after the usual pleasantries, Steve came out with "I dreamt about you last night". She was flattered and asked for details. He was reluctant to elaborate but she insisted, so he admitted that it had been a sex dream. Somewhat surprised, but very curious, she encouraged him to tell all.
The dream was set on his local beach: an evening out, a few drinks, a stroll wearing normal clothes for his piece of paradise, only bikini and beach wrap to his t-shirt and swimming shorts. Long past the last cabin, guided only by the moonlight, he had undressed her sensually and made love to her slowly on the fringe of the beach, under the palm trees. His description was so detailed and realistic that she found, much to her surprise, that she was getting wet just listening to his voice. In turn, as the couple in his story neared orgasm she could hear distress in his voice.
Suddenly he stopped. "Steve, are you still there?" she asked.
"Hang on a minute.", came the reply. A few seconds later he reappeared, "Phew, that was close!"
"What was close?" she queried.
"Almost ended up in a sticky mess." he told her.
