A/N: Thank you again for the kind reviews, I have an idea in my head about where to take this, I so hope that you enjoy what I have in store.
Summary/Disclaimer: See Chapter 1
The two walked hand in hand along the East Pier, it was definitely more of a view than the overlook had provided. The sound of the ocean hitting the city walls was serene when combined with the glow of the moons across the water. Carson stood behind Colleen, his arms wrapped around her petite waist. Her arms encircled his bringing them tighter around her and she gracefully placed her head back to rest on his shoulder. From the outside it was the picture of a couple happily in love, but for Colleen it contained an ominous feeling. This new found romance was almost too good to be true things like this didn't happen to her and all the while she was holding her breath waiting for the other shoe to drop.
"This is nice."
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if we were interrupted."
"I understand, you are a medical doctor, while my PhD involves plants and tress and soil, not a lot of weight behind that title, I can't save a life or anything."
"Aye, but sometimes you can't save everyone."
Colleen listened as he chocked back the last few words. She knew that he had a hand in creating the Hoffin Drug that had plagued the galaxy and had heard that he was still troubled by the damage that it had caused. Carson was kind man and really took his oath of do no harm seriously, since coming to Atlantis, Colleen had heard that Carson was a good man, with a kind heart but was often alone in his own space. Colleen shivered as a cool breeze came off of the ocean and surrounded them.
"Are you cold love?"
"A bit, perhaps we should head back to the city."
"Aye." He unwrapped his arms and took her hand and led her back to the transporter and to the main part of town where their quarters we located. At her quarters he stopped and looked at their intwined hands, but before he could speak Colleen started to talk.
"I had a really nice time tonight, thank you Carson!"
"You are quite welcome, perhaps we could do it again sometime, although next time without the interuptions."
"That would be lovely." She raised her hand over the sensor and the doors parted to allow her in. Before she crossed the threshold, she looked up into his eyes and before she got the chance to speak he leaned down and kissed her.
This kiss was different from the one that they shared at the overlook. This one had more passion more need to it, both were hungry for more. Colleen stood up as high as she could comfortly to get closer to Carson, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body flush to his, yet it didn't seem like it was close enough for her. Carson had placed his hands on the back of her spine and was pressing her as close as he could, neither were wanting to let go. Colleen was pretty sure that it was her who backed them into her quarters, but was also sure that Carson had no arguments with taking their kiss to a more private location and had helped with moving them inside. Colleen heard the door close, but didn't care, these were her quarters and she knew where everything was even if there were no lights on.
Colleen wasn't sure who broke the kiss, probably both of them over the need for air more than anything else. In the dark with only the moon light reflecting in Colleen could see Carson, standing there, his hand tangled in her Auburn locks as she licked her lips in anticipation of what was to come next. She wanted more and after that kiss who could blame her the man definately had a hidden talent there. Carson could see the want and the need in Colleen's eyes it was the same look that was reflected in his own. These two were being pulled together by something and both were finding it difficult to fight it. Colleen couldn't help but ask the question that was weighing on her mind.
"You feel it too don't you."
"Aye." He said as he nodded his head and leaned into kiss Colleen again.
