Wei had nearly laughed at the huge smile that crossed Li's face despite the seriousness of their talk, but the feel of his hand on her face made her catch her breath and hold very still.  It was quite strong, yet gentle.  When he moved it to cup the back of her neck she was surprised to find herself trembling slightly at the softness of his touch.<br/><br/>She kept her eyes on his as he pulled her gently closer towards him, eyes closing only as their faces drew near to one another and softly, slowly, their lips met in a tender kiss.  His were firm yet yielding, her own hand raised to rest on his shoulder, and her heart was glad.
