Kel, Dom, Neal, Yuki and the men of the own rode through the gate to the palace close to sunset. Stefon met them at the stables.
"I'm t' take yer horses," he said, colleting their reigns, "You're to rest, by order o' the King. I'm glad ye're back, Lady Kel. We all are," Stefan faded into the stables while Kel turned to pick up her bags. They were gone! Dom stood a few feet away, smiling impishly.
"What did you do with them?" Kel demanded.
"With what?" Dom asked innocently.
"You know very well," Kel stabbed him in the chest with a finger, "My bags."
"Oh...those," Dom said, "I had them taken to your room. It wouldn't do for my beautiful Kel to strain herself getting to her room. I on the other hand must carry my own bags..." he sighed dramatically, "Is there a chance I might get to spend time with the elusive Lady Knight today?" Kel laughed, she would have to remember that when Dom didn't spend time with her, he got silly.
"Perhaps dinner?" she said.
"I shall meet you in your rooms." Dom bowed over her hand, "Till then milady." Dom walked away, whistling off key. Kel smiled and headed toward her own rooms.
After washing the dust from her skin and changing into clean clothes, Kel stood at her window, waiting for Dom. Kel turned as she heard her door open. Crossing the room in two strides, Kel threw her arms around her sergeant's neck before he closed the door.
"Easy Kel, we have all night," Dom said, the passion in his voice making Kel shiver agreeably. Blue eyes met hazel briefly before they kissed hungrily. They broke apart, breathing deeply. They kissed again, this time slowly, savoring the taste of each other's mouth.
"What about dinner?" Dom asked, holding Kel's hand and lightly tracing the lines on her palm.
"I'm not hungry."
"Good, neither am I..." Dom kissed the inside of Kel's wrist, then her elbow, her shoulder, and her neck, pulling her towards him. Dom's arm encircled her, and began to unlace the dress she had on.
"Dom..." she whispered, "my charm got cut off when I was injured." He grinned, reaching into a pocket and producing a charm against pregnancy identical to Kel's old one. Dom placed it around her neck, then continued working on her laces. Kel was too busy undoing his belt to help him. They slowly made their way towards her bad, shedding clothing.
"Oh, Dom...."
