As he put down the glass, the Captain looked ruefully from the pot to his empty platter. His stomach was satisfied, but tell that to his eyes? However, since she was apparently done too there was no reason to stick around with THAT temptation. Rising, he picked up his napkin and dried off his lips before leaving it on his platter. "Shall we retreat before I end up licking your pots clean? It would be... unhygienic, for one thing." Maltese grinned as he took her hand in both of his and kissed it lightly. "Thank you. It tasted wonderful." He kept her hand in one of his and pulled her gently after him back to the living room.<br/><br/>They didn't make it as far as the couch though. On the middle of the floor the Captain pulled Tegan close and wrapped his arms around her waist, looking into her beautiful eyes and smiling without saying anything for a little while. As one hand lifted to caress her blonde locks, the other temporarily resisted temptation to sail downward simply because he enjoyed holding her close. Maltese's lips sought hers, stroking along them for a moment but almost immediately yielding to temptation and slipping his tonguetip in between her lips in order to start on a deep, lingering kiss. Time for dessert. His whole body, tauting from toes to neck, agreed.
