Inopportune Moments

Chapter 3: All Tied Up

The Doctor lurched forward as River grabbed him by his bow tie and pulled him towards her.

"Hey, I do happen to like that particular bowtie, you know!" he said, putting his hand on top of hers.

"Don't worry sweetie, it'll be fine," River said before stopping his next sentence with her mouth. Her fingers nimbly undid the bow tie and then stuffed it in the pocket of her baggy shirt. She pushed him up against the TARDIS and opened the door with her free hand.

"Stay here." River said in a rather dominating voice, that the Doctor liked verymuch. She turned and disappeared down a corridor.

"Where are you going?" The question came out rather croakily…it was a long time since the Doctor had been kissed like that. His mouth felt as though it was on fire. In a strangely good, nice way.

He lifted his hand to his lips, trying to capture the last moments of their kiss.

Five minutes later his question was answered by River appearing once again in the console room.

His jaw dropped.

Dozens of possible things to say flowed through his mind and...well, other parts, but the only words that would form in his mouth were, "Now that's an inventive use for a bow tie."
