They were on the ice, duo skating again.
He was in a lunge position with one leg bent at a 90 degree angle and the other outstretched and behind him. She was facing him with one leg over his bent knee while the other diagonally ran along the ice as the previous speed they built up allowed them to drift along the ice.
His hands were on her waist as her arms gracefully arched in the air.
Then, he adjusted one arm along her back while the other went to her shoulder. With a light pressure to her shoulder and a light push along her lower back, she bent backwards.
"Slow," he lowly stated as his eyes were fixated on her form, "slow."
The instruction made her shiver, but she followed it and slowed down her upper body's descent. The hand along her shoulder disappeared to her leg draped over his bent leg. The arm along her back steadied her as he adjusted her leg to half wrap around his torso without her skate accidently cutting him.
Her head nearly touched the ice. She ventured a hand out and her fingers lightly skimmed along the cold, damp-ish surface.
When they began to slow down, Leon righted her and her arms draped along his shoulders. Their faces were close; foreheads and noses touched. He angled his head a little and their lips whispered against each other. The slight touch shot electricity down her body and she shakily exhaled, her warm breath lightly heating his lower face.
His hand moved her leg back to its original position; his touch almost burning her skin as it went along her leg for longer than necessary. She carefully moved her leg off of his bent one as he straightened. Her hands slowly went down his arms to his hands; the teasing touch had been unexpected from her, but not unwanted.
When she looked back to his face, his eyes were lidded.
When he looked into her brown orbs, he noticed that they were half closed.
He skated forward while she skated backwards. The fire continued to flicker in her eyes as they did simple moves. He flipped her around and brought her back to his chest. Still, they kept eye contact as her head turned and looked up at him.
She's burning faster than anticipated.
He grabbed her hands and turned her to face him. Her hands were released and she artfully placed one hand on his chest and then the other; he slipped his hands beneath hers so that they were palm to palm.
Her arms bent and she came closer to him.
He allowed the approach as he followed her action, bending his arms to let her come. His hands slowly turned hers to their sides in half circles as she leaned up and lightly brushed his lips.
Their fingers threaded as he leaned down into the motion.
