- 1945)



Conversing as they skated, Alex found himself relaxing around Erin in a way
that he never really had before with someone. He smiled in deep
contentment, losing himself in the moment, never wanting the evening to
end. Looking over to Erin, he could see the deep smile and gleam in her
eyes, squeezing her hand gently he winked at her.


Feeling the squeeze on her hand, Erin looked at Alex and, catching the
wink, she returned it. Not paying attention to where her feet in the skates
were heading, the blade of her left skate caught a small divot in the ice.


Two things happened at once, Erin realised that her left foot had caught
the ice and then, second, she realised that she was now unstable as she
began to fall forward.


Alex felt his arms react, catching Erin as she fell and twisted, trying to
right herself. His arms round her waist, he held her, breathless in the
moment as he held her, keeping her from hitting the ice.


Her heart pounding at the initial shock of the trip, it took Erin a second
to realise that Alex had caught her. After a moment, the realisation that
his arms were around her waist hit her and she blushed as she looked into
his eyes. ~oh no… damn it woman, those eyes are going to be trouble~ she
thought to herself as she caught her breath.


All time seemed to freeze, Alex could see the blush run from Erin’s neck,
setting her face ablaze, feeling his soul fall into her large, dark eyes,
he slowly lifted her up toward him, and after a few heartbeats, pulled her
into a deep kiss.


Sinking into the kiss, Erin wrapped her arms around his neck and returned
the kiss equally. After a moment, she pulled back slightly and looked at
him, with her forehead resting on his, "That… was some kiss."


Alex smiled, her dark eyes beaming into his. “It certainly was wow.” his
vocabulary failed him. Standing up he helped Erin steady on her feet.
“Shall we?” he motioned to the ice.
