Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Lady Knight Keladry of Mindelan had just completed her goal a few months ago, to stop Blayce and free all the children he had kidnapped. Now she and Neal were on their way to the palace, they would be greeted by all their friends, including Domitan of Masbolle.

She had not seen him since the mission, which was not all that long ago, but she still missed him in a very strange way. She had had a crush on him since she had traveled with Raoul, but now the closer she got to the fort the more powerful a strange feeling crept through her.

"Kel? Kel wake up, hello...we're here." Neal's voice startled her out of her thoughts.

"Oh, sorry Neal, just thinking about umm, Haven, that's all." She replied.

"Kel, for the five thousandth time, everything will be fine." He reassured her.

Domitan of Masbolle stood at his bedroom window overlooking the fort. Kel and his cousin Meathead would be arriving today and his thoughts were confused ones. He had always admired Kel, not just for her determination, but also for her spirit and simple beauty.

Suddenly welcome horn trumpeted through the fort's walls. They were here. He decided not to make an appearance until that night at the banquet that was to be held in Kel's honor.

Kel entered the dinning hall in an elegant forest green gown that was edged with gold. As she entered the room Dom spotted her immediately. She was pure perfection in his eyes, he walked toward her as if in a trance to ask her to dance, when suddenly Owen stepped toward her and whisked her away into a waltz. Dom stood there, disappointed to say the least.

Throughout the night, every time the music stopped Dom would start toward her to ask for a dance, and every time someone else would get there first.

This went on for about two hours until finally, Kel stepped outside alone for a breath of fresh air. Dom followed her slowly. Out in the courtyard Kel was breathing heavily from all the dancing as she sat down on a stone bench and looked up at the stars. Then, suddenly, she noticed Dom approaching her.

"Hi Dom, I didn't see you in there." She said quickly before she could be drawn into his alluring blue eyes.

"Well, you were dancing so much I'd be surprised if you saw anyone but the person you were dancing with." He said with a good-natured laugh.

They both stood there laughing for a moment.

Dom looked over at Kel, who had continued to look up at the night sky. Her eyes sparkled with the light of the stars. He let out a heavy sigh as he looked away. It couldn't be, she had to have someone already.

"So, ah, Kel," he started,

"Yeah?" She replied ceasing from gazing at the stars and looking straight into Dom's eyes. She couldn't help it; she had missed it so much.

They stood there a moment staring into each other's eyes, Dom slowly approaching her. Suddenly, before either knew what was happening, the space between them ceased to exist and they fell into a soft, gentle kiss.

They broke apart quickly and in awkward silence looked Dom looked away. Kel continued to stare at him in shock. Domitan of Masbolle, the man she had had a crush on for years, had just kissed her!

Dom kept his gaze away from Kel until he felt her gaze still on him. He slowly looked back. She had a small smile on her face, he smiled back and she did to him the most unexpected thing-She out her arms around his neck and pulled him closer into a soft, yet passionate kiss.

Oh, my word! I cannot believe I just wrote that! Ew, ew! Actually it was kinda fun writing it... hehe! Please review!
