The mistletoe was still around causing people to kiss but after her encounter with Xena, Catherine had been lucky enough not to get targeted by it a second time. She wasn’t sure whether to be glad about that or not as she parked her car and got out to meet up with Thor, smoothing her skirt down without thinking about as she went. Yes it was snowing out and yes she was cold but she wasn’t going to be outside for that long right? Plus she didn’t have a pair of tights that actually went with this skirt.

***

Thor stood up as he saw her and waved from his booth. The restaurant was an Italian one that served good food and had dim lightning and private booths. He greeted her with a hug and a kiss to her cheek and he smiled softly. “Hello, beautiful. How are you?”

Seeing her made him grin foolishly.

***

Catherine stretched up slightly as she returned his hug, pressing her lips to his cheek before pulling away from him, a small smile on her face. “Honest answer? Cold.” She said laughing a little bit as she looked him over as subtly as she could. “How about you handsome?” She asked, sliding into the seat opposite his, shivering just a little as her legs met the seat.

***

“I'm doing pretty well. Here.” He lifted his jacket and set it around her. It was a thick downy thing of warmth and his smell.

“I've been looking forwards to seeing you. I missed you.”

***

Catherine almost snuggled into his coat, sliding her arms inside the sleeves and pulling it close around her as she smiled at him. “Thanks. Remind me before next year to actually buy some winter clothes? From what I’ve heard this weather is a tradition every year. I don’t know how I managed to never notice it before now.”

There was something in those three words that warmed her even more than the coat did and she felt her face flush. “I missed you too.”

***

“Good. I am finding I miss you more and more. And I have been thinking about you.” he paused. “A lot.” He grinned at her, ducking his head shyly.

“But I am glad we are here tonight.” He slid an arm around her to hug her.

***

Catherine did allow herself to snuggle up against him when he put his arm around her, relaxing against him as she listened to him talk. “I think about you a lot too. When I’m at work or trying to relax at home.” As she was going to bed but that wasn’t something she was ready to admit. Not yet at least.

***

Thor hugged her gently. “I’m glad. I have been thinking I would like… if you are willing that is, to perhaps date you, more… ah, formally?” His cheeks were red as he shook his head. “Only you can turn me into a red-cheeked fool.”

***

There was something oddly adorable about the way he blushed while asking her that and she reached up without thinking to touch his hair as she nodded her head. “I’m definitely willing to do that.” She told him with a smile. “And - you’re only the person who makes me feel these butterflies in my stomach. I’ve spent a lot more time thinking about you than I thought I could admit.”

***

Thor smiled to her and hugged her gently again, kissing her cheek. “That is how I feel about you. On both counts. Thank you for being honest.” This time, he kissed her lips, softly, but surely with warmth and affection, and interest.

He pulled back and smiled. “Now we have something to celebrate, yes?”

***

Catherine kissed him back, humming a little bit as she ran her fingers through his ponytail, letting herself play with it a little bit. “Well...you were honest with me so I felt like I could be with you. Like I should be.” She told him, eyes locking on his.

“We definitely have something to celebrate.”

***

“I like that.” he hugged her close and smiled. “We should order, and eat, and then maybe go back, if you want to, to my place?” He tried to keep the hope out of his voice.

***

“Maybe something that will give us lots of energy to help celebrate?” Catherine asked softly, not even trying to keep the interest and hope out of hers.

***

Thor smirked. “Sounds like a perfect idea to me. I want to have a great deal of energy to thoroughly celebrate.” he pressed a kiss to her lips softly, then nodded.

“In which case, we should order soon, because i am feeling a desire to celebrate, quite… soon.”

***

Catherine grinned at him as she reached for her menu. “Maybe we can get dinner to go? Or at least take a part of it with us?”

***

“Maybe that first one. I think we could take it home and eat together, perhaps with you sitting on my lap.” he smirked at her.

One hand slid up her leg lightly.

***

Catherine moved her hand down to rest over his, pushing it further up under her skirt as she looked up at him. “I think that’s the best idea I’ve heard all day.”

***

Thor smiled softly as he stroked her thigh softly, and higher yet, fingers teasing toward her center. And… touched her. His eyebrows went up and he smirked. “No wonder you’re cold…” he kissed her softly as his fingers stroked her under the table and under her skirt.

When the waitress came by, he left his hand there, but he did at least stop moving it.

***

Catherine let out a soft whimper as Thor stroked her under the table, not sure whether the waitresses arrival was something she should be glad of or not as she placed her order, coming up with an excuse of being called back to work as reason for getting it to go. The look the waitress gave her in response gave her all the answer she needed about how much she was believed. She waited until the woman walked away to answer his comment.

“Underwear messed up the way the skirt fell.”

***

Thor smirked as he stroked her a little faster, one finger pressing against her opening, almost pushing in, but not quite. “I can see how that would be a problem.” He spoke softly.

“Maybe we can get the food and go home and see what we can do to make you feel less cold…”

***

“Tease…” Catherine murmured, shifting to try to pull his hand in closer, see if she couldn’t get him to push his finger all the way inside her.

“Please?” She asked, looking up at him for a moment before stretching up to give him a kiss.

***

Thor smirked as he pulled her closer to him and kissed her back, and that finger plunged all the way into her as he did, pumping in and out as he prolonged the kiss. He slowly pulled back and his finger pulled out of her too. He sat back and licked his finger slowly as he smirked. It was going to be a very good day.

***

Catherine moaned into the kiss as Thor’s finger slid into her, pressing herself against his side, her skirt sliding up her thighs as she moved. “Lunch after we get me warmed up?” She asked, her voice coming out as an almost purr.

***

“Sounds like a perfect plan.”

He bent his head to kiss her, and let his hands make her writhe. It was going to be a very good day, he knew. With a smirk, he let the rest of the world go away.
