Bodyguard

Chance's foot moves up against Destiny's foot, rubbing it slowly. Her hand running up and down his back felt good, as did her continued sweet kiss.

Her words bring his mind back around to what should be a dilemma that was being ignored for the moment. It had started out a game... but now wasn't? She wasn't just teasing him, trying to get him to give up so she could win their little battle and avoid doing dishes? She really did... want to be doing this? Her palm on his cheek felt so soft.

Destiny's continued kiss makes it hard for him to get a word in, but for the next few moments, he doesn't mind. Throwing caution to the wind, he ignores logic for a while, just to stay here and kiss a little longer. There was something different here... something different than what he'd felt just a day or two ago. Actually being caught in an embrace and kissing... Destiny brought on more feelings for her than he knew had existed. She wasn't just a frightened little girl who needed help. She was a young woman with feelings of her own to keep and to share.

Shifting around a little, Chance's arm comes back down, his hand brushing the side of her face. As he does though, his elbow brushes up against his side holster. And all of a sudden, reality hits him squarely in the face.

Breaking away from the kiss, he stares down into Destiny's eyes, searching them for the longest moment. How had they gotten into this? Were these feelings real? Did he really feel something for her? Did she really think this was more than a game, or was she just releasing pent-up emotions with everything that had been going on?

His voice is quiet... softer than normal. "I'm your bodyguard."

A beeping at the computer monitors snaps his head up, his whole body tensing. Somehow managing to get up without stepping on Destiny, he stumbles over to the screens to see what was going on. His eyes narrow. It was the neighbor's dog - nothing to worry about. But the moment had been successfully broken, leaving the awkward aftermath. He had broken so many rules tonight.

Turning around, he wanders back to Destiny, squatting down near her head. "Just a dog," he informs. He searches her eyes again, biting his lower lip. "Well, darlin' what do we do now?"
