“That was very good. I’m glad I decided to try it.” She sat back feeling really relaxed and a bit fuzzy. She sighed, “I think there might have been alcohol in the food. I feel a little strange.”

“No, I don’t think there was alcohol in it,” Roman said, shaking his head. He was feeling relaxed and odd, but not like alcohol made him feel. He shrugged. “A property of the fruit used in it, maybe?”

“Fruit that can make you tipsy?” She let out a soft questioning laugh. “I’m glad we didn’t go out.” She seemed very relaxed. “Alcohol makes me more anxious.” She didn’t sound particularly anxious.

“I’ve heard of weirder.” Roman did, after all, study alien environments for a living. “Me, too.” He looked at her and smiled. “I know. I remember when I accidentally gave you a full alcohol Scottish coffee. A mistake I only made once.”

“People get funny when they find out I don’t drink. So I just pretend so they leave me alone. I never thought to tell you.” She sighed again and just stared at him. “You are so attractive,” she murmured. “All the female officers look at you and it drives me crazy.”

Rand

Roman chuckled modestly. “Come on, Rand. Maybe they do, but I don’t notice. Because I’m only looking for your eyes.” He said gently, pulling her into his arms.

Rand laughed softly, flushing from her toes as he pulled her from her chair. “I know, but I hate it. I want you to be all mine, but they work with you and they aren’t afraid like me.” She was looking at the collar of his robe and playing with it. “They are more fun than me.” She looked up at him, eyes wide. “Sometimes when I see them watching you, I wish I could just kiss you, like this.” She leaned in, and it wasn’t sweet or timid. It was passionate, hot, consuming. Very shocking for Rand. Something she would stop in embarrassment, but she didn’t.

Normally Roman would’ve stopped too - to make sure she was comfortable and okay. But for some reason when she kissed him like that, all reason went to the wind and he was swept away with his own desires, his hands roaming her body as he kissed back.

Rand should be thinking about something? She was always over thinking something. Her mind was fuzzy and seemed slowed down. She only seemed to be able to focus on what she was feeling. She smiled against Roman’s lips, and all her feelings were focused on him. She wasn’t even worried about all those other women. No, she felt determined and much more intensely attracted to him than she ever had. She thought that was impossible, but she did. She was going to make sure Roman never wanted to kiss anyone else but her.

Her hands smoothed up his shoulders and over to his back before she moved from her chair right onto his lap.
