There was a fleeting moment of surprise as Alex reached out to pull her in to him. Normally they kept that space between them, it prevented the temptation that always came when they were alone together. The temptation that flared back to life as he pressed his lips to hers again. The surprise was gone as she kissed him back.
His touch felt amazing as his hand moved to cup her face. Her own delicate hands moved to rest on his hip. The deepened kiss quickly clouded her mind. It was so easy for her to lose herself to him in these moments. She was breathless when he finally pulled his lips away from hers. She held his eyes, waiting for the normal joke that came when they brought themselves to this point.
It didn't come though. Instead he surprised her again with his question. Virginia didn't hesitate with her answer. "Completely", she told him just as softly as he had asked her. Trust was hard for Virginia after everything that had happened in her past but She was quiet sure she was in love with him.
