Summary: The action made her lean into him, almost as if she was trying to crawl into him. It was the only warmth that seemed to thaw her out since she'd been woken. For the first time since taking sick, she felt truly alive.
A/N: This was written for a kiss sharing prompt.
Devon leaned in, pressing her lips softly to Danziger's cheek. He'd been a good friend to her (and more if she was being completely honest with herself) since she'd been woken and cured from her stint in cryostasis. She had thanked him over and over again, but that just didn't dare to seem enough as of late. Not that she'd thank him with her womanly wiles, but she'd be lying if she said that John Danziger didn't do something to her when he was near. It was almost like electricity.
She felt her own cheeks growing warm as her lips left his cheek. "I just wanted to, uh, thank you again." Then she felt his hand cover hers and the other one came to rest against her cheek. His warmth spread through her all the way down to toes making them tingle. She met his eyes just as their heads leaned in closer. This kiss wasn't on the cheek, and that thought alone made her heart skip a beat.

"Now stop thanking me, Adair, and start living." His voice was husky and gruff as their lips parted. He ran the pad of his thumb over her cheekbone as his lips curled into a grin.
She nodded, certain she could do that.
