Yelina: I just want to thank you...for being there for me, through everything.
Horatio hugged her a little tighter.
Horatio: I'm glad you let me be there for you. If anything ever happened to you, I don't know what I would...
Yelina: Let's hope nothing like that ever does happen.
Horatio: Right. Dinner...looks great. Thank you for doing this.
Yelina: No problem.
Horatio sat down and smiled. Yelina inquired of Horatio's day at work, Horatio inquired of Yelina's day, and so on. When dinner was finished and Horatio put the dishes away, Yelina motioned for Horatio in the living room. She walked over to a stereo in the room and turned it on. Airy orchestral music serenaded the room.
Yelina: Wanna dance?
Horatio: My pleasure.
Horatio walked over and took Yelina in for a dance. Yelina rested her head on Horatio's chest as they slowly danced around the living room.
Yelina: Your heart is beating fast.
Horatio: That's the effect you have on me.
Yelina chuckled and placed a hand on his chest. Horatio put a hand over her hand and looked down at her before kissing the top of her head. Yelina smiled and leaned her head up to kiss his lips. Horatio looked into her eyes then let her resume kissing him.
As they were kissing, Yelina unbuttoned Horatio's shirt and took off his suit jacket.
Horatio (whispering): Yelina...
Yelina: Shhh. Just relax.
Yelina then undid Horatio's belt, removed it, then worked on the zipper on his pants. Horatio breathed heavily while he nervously ran his hands up her arms. Yelina noticed this and tried to calm him down.
Yelina: Hey...you okay?
Horatio: Yeah. I, uh...I...
Yelina: If you're not ready for this, I understand...
Horatio: No, I'm fine, it's just...I never thought we would, that's all.
Yelina: Well, that's about to change now, won't it?
Horatio: I don't know why I'm nervous...I mean, I'm with you and I'm in love...
Yelina: ...in our home, dancing...
Horatio: Home...to hear it from you, I know I'm where I need to be.
Horatio pulled Yelina in for another hug before he pulled away to make love to her in the floor of the living room of their home.
The End.
