heady and warm, when she noticed that he was looking at her face.
"What is it?" she asked, smiling at him. "Did I get frosting on me?" She ran her hand over her lips, but he shook his head.
"Well then? What is it?"
He didn't look away from her. "I had a dream last night, and I could have sworn it was real. I could have..." he shook his head and paused, his blue eyes intent on her dark brown eyes.
"What was the dream?" she asked quietly’ as her heart began to pound. She hoped he hadn't remembered what had happened between them.
He leaned closer to her and spoke softly. "I dreamed that you and I were walking down a road, and then partway down the road we stopped and I held you in my arms and kissed you, and then we started walking together again."
Her heart began to beat faster still. "That's a funny sort of dream to have about us." She tried to play it off as nothing.
Colby shook his head. "I've been thinking about it all day and I can't decide if it was a dream or a memory. Whatever it was, it was the sweetest kiss I have ever known."
Shannon's breath grew short and her heart pounded in her chest as he reached his finger up and touched her cheek lightly.
"I wondered... I mean, I wanted to know if it would be alright for me to...” he paused and leaned closer to her, his face inches from hers. "Would you mind if I kissed you once? Just to see if it was really only a dream?" he said, feeling sure that he'd had too much wine and it had made him far too bold.
Shannon was lost in the beauty and romance of the moment; the snow falling outside, the fire burning before them, the feel of the wine making her a little dizzy, and Colby, who couldn't take his eyes off of her, leaning in close to her, asking her if he could kiss her. She knew she must be dreaming herself, but if she was dreaming, she decided she didn't want to wake up.
She nodded at him and he reached his hands up to her face to cup her cheeks in his palms as he gazed into her eyes. Slowly, he lowered his lips to hers, touching hers tentatively and gently at first, but as he moved his mouth over hers, he realized the truth and he lifted his head and looked at her.
"It was a memory!" he whispered incredulously. "We've done this before!" He touched her cheek and then ran his finger over her lips and she closed her eyes for a moment and drew her breath in, and then looked at him again.
"I kissed you last night, didn't I?" he whispered, staring at her in surprise.
Shannon nodded at him. He shook his head. "Why did I do that?" he asked in amazement.
She smiled a little. "You were dreaming. You were dreaming of Tiffany."
He shook his head. "No, I wasn't. I remember it so clearly. I was dreaming of you." He stared at her eyes and lowered his gaze to her full lips, and then he leaned close to her and brushed his lips against hers. "I was dreaming of this."
She felt a dizziness that had nothing at all to do with the wine, take over her head and her heart, and she let herself melt into his arms as he wrapped them around her, pulling her close to him and holding her to his chest. His mouth moved over hers slowly, tasting her and feeling her as if he wanted to make sure he didn't miss any bit of her.
He opened her mouth with his lips and at the touch of his tongue on hers, she moaned softly and he echoed her as his kiss deepened and his mouth moved more fervently over hers.
His fingers slid from her cheeks slowly down her neck and then to the back of her head, tangling in her hair and holding her mouth pressed firmly to his. Shannon felt as if she was falling in slow motion right into him and she knew that there was no way out, but she didn't want to stop it.
Colby's mouth left hers and he trailed his lips and tongue down her neck, ending at the hollow of her throat, tasting her and setting her on fire with his passionate kisses. She curled her fingers in his hair and soft moans
