When Aimee and Tarrant separated for breath, Aimee looked down in slight embarrassment.
"I've never kissed before." Aimee said.
"Neither have I." Hatter said. "Did you like it?" He asked hesitantly.
"Yes, very much actually." Aimee said while still not looking up.
Orange speckled fingers crossed her vision and slid under her chin to lift Aimee's head up. She saw those incredible, otherworldly eyes staring into hers, and held her breath as his thumb stroked her cheek.
By now, his fingers were gently caressing Aimee's jaw, and the little tingling sensations they made caused her to close her eyes. His fingers, slightly callused from too many pinpricks and rough materials, were making Aimee's skin tickle.
Then, he kissed her again –gently, softly, and lovingly. Aimee slid her arms back around his neck as Tarrant tightened his arms around her waist. When he finished kissing her Aimee had a soft smile on her face as did Hatter.
"So did I." he said softly.
They stayed in each other's arms for a moment before a loud meow from Zora interrupted their moment, making them reluctantly let go of each other. They gathered what little supplies they had and continued on till the end of the forest were they made camp for the night.
