*~Gabrielle's POV~*
My hands were around his neck as I leaned in slowly for my first kiss. It didn't feel like it was my first at all. He tasted like something forbidden, yet utterly irresistible.
He pulled back, and we gazed at each other for a moment, his soft golden eyes searching for something in mine. I took a deep breath, and he looked away.
"Is that okay for you, my lady?" he asked. I nodded, feeling flushed. My heart pounded like it wanted to leap out of my chest.
He began walking toward the river, and I followed him quietly. He reached a corner and then returned, looking confused.
"What are you looking for?" I asked.
"A boat. I kept it here," he replied, his eyes scanning the area, pointing to the corner he had just left.
"The boat is over there," I said, stretching my hand in the opposite direction.
We exchanged glances, and he instantly headed for the new spot. To both our surprise, he returned dragging the boat behind him.
