The Kiss

By Kathryn Murphy
July 1998

His hand moved up to the back of her neck, and pulled her forward, her lips meeting his. The kiss was tentative at first, each afraid to push too far, but at that moment, each was complete.

His lips brushed across hers, as he moved his tongue gently across her lower lip, probing, as she slowly oped her mouth to him.

The kiss intensified, as their mouths came together, tasting, savoring for the first time.

Kathryn's hands had moved from their previous position on his shoulders, and were now moving slowly across his face, touching, caressing his cheek, and running her fingertips absently over his tatoo.

His hands had moved up, and were now tangled in her auburn locks.

The need for air forced them to break the kiss, and Chakotay moved back to look into her eyes. What he saw there, was no doubt reflected in his own.

He saw a mosaic of emotions reflecting in those beautiful blue eyes; fear, desire, and love. He silently thanked the Gods for bringing this woman into his life.

"Chakotay" Kathryn said softly, but he reached up and placed his index finger over her lips.

"Shh" he said, and brought her into his arms. She held him tightly, arms wrapped around his neck, face pressed to his chest.

He held her to him, never wanting to let go, afraid to, but this had to be her choice.

"Kathryn, I love you so much" he whispered in her ear.

"I love you too Chakotay." he heard whispered back.

The Kiss began again.
