Chapter 1

Kel and Neal had arrived in Steadfast that afternoon. Neal was quickly off his horse to hug Yuki who had been waiting at the gates. Kel smiled. Neal had been daydreaming all day about meeting Yuki again. Kel was saddened not to see Owen when she arrived, but he was off riding with the watch.

Kel stood before her room. She surveyed it once more then put her bags down.

She undressed, happy to get out of her sweaty clothes. About to take off her breast band she heard voices at her door.

"Here is your room. Two doors then to the right is the Mess." Owen's voice seeped under the door.

The door slowly opened. Kel froze not wanting the door to open any further. The door creaked. Blue eyes met Kel's hazel-brown ones. Kel suddenly stared down at herself. She hastily grabbed a shirt and held it towards herself.

"Ah, Dom" she squeaked recognising the intruder "What are you doing here? Could you wait outside, it's just I'm-I'm…" Kel stopped talking, feeling rather uncomfortable.

Dom smiled understanding, he left the room and closed the door behind him. Kel quickly put on a new shirt and tunic then she put her bags in order.

She walked over to the door and yanked it open and motioned for him to enter.

Dom immediately said, "Look, I'm really sorry I didn't mean to barge in like that. I didn't know that you were dressing, sorry" Dom, said, and entered the room.

"Don't worry. What's the harm done? I bet you have seen heaps of girls like that before" Kel said slyly

Dom started to redden slightly and ignored her comment "Maybe the Owen got the rooms wrong I'll just go and ask."

"Dom, Owen probably forgot to mention that you would have to share a room. She told me but I thought that that person would be coming tomorrow. The rooms here are really packed with people"

"It's so good to see you. I really missed you" Dom said "Well then, I hope you don't mind sharing a room with me you know."

"Do you really mean it when you say you missed me?" asked Kel

"Of course, silly."

"You making remarks at the wrong time was really missed. And me, the only one calling Neal, Meathead was terrible" Kel said putting on a sad face

"Come here." Kel walked over to Dom's open arms and giggled softly. They broke apart. She looked up and opened her mouth to say something. Dom put a finger on her mouth gently to silence her.

"Before you say anything else, there is something I have been meaning to tell you and now I think is the right time." Dom said locking his eyes with hers

"What is it" Kel asked softly

"Well after the past few months I have been thinking about the experience in Scanra. You know, I thought before of you just of some girl but what you went through and how brave you were just made me think that this girl is really a great woman."

"Hey, I was just doing my job: to make my people of New Haven safe. That is the only thing I had on my mind."

Dom had suddenly got closer she noticed. Her heart thumped. Dom lowered his head. Kel realising what was happening jumped away.

"I'm sorry. I'll-I'll just getting going." Now it was Dom's turn to feel rather uncomfortable.

Kel looked down feeling very awkward and blushed. "Straighten your self out. Dom loving you was what you always wanted." Kel said to herself

"Don't go. I never thought that you might think of me in that way. I thought we were just friends" Kel said finally looking up to Dom eyes

"We are friends but after Scanra, I just felt as if we belong to each other and I needed to know if you felt the same way."

"It's just that after Cleon I never thought that anyone would love me for me, not because I'm the only woman in sight" Kel said then with a smile she went on, "Just don't go writing poems about my eyebrow okay."

Dom laughed. Kel liked that she was able to make Dom laugh. "Do you really have feelings for me?" she asked rather embarrassed.

Dom just smiled. He then came towards her, leant his head down and touched his lips with hers. He cradled her head as he deepened the kiss. Kel surprised herself by putting arms around his neck. She relaxed in his embrace and kissed him with just the same intensity and passion as he did.

They broke away after a time gasping for breath

"Does that answer your question?" Dom said, his voice nearly cracking
