Ronnie let the mistletoe slip from her fingers as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. She made sure this was one kiss he wouldn't soon forget.

As he brought her back up he slowly broke the kiss, pulling away slightly and then opened his eyes as he looked at her. Damion smiled a bit as he took in a deep breath. "Wow." He whispered as he brought his hand up and ran it through her hair. "You dropped your mistletoe, Ronnie." He said softly as he brought his hands down to her waist and massaged her sides lightly.

Ronnie took a moment to calm her breathing. The man was far too potent for her self-control, but she liked him that way. "Somehow, I think it served its purpose." She ran her fingers through his hair. "Besides, I have better things I wnat to do with my hands."

"Doesn't take a telepath to know what your getting at." Damion said as he looked at her up and down. "But to be honest I kind of like it, Lieutenant." He smiled and then laughed.

"Kind of?" she teased. "You really know how to make a girl feel wanted, don't you?"

"Well, its easy when its a girl I want." He said softly and then leaned in and kissed her lips again.

Ronnie's arms slipped back around his neck as she again returned his kiss. When the kiss ended she lay her head on his shoulder. "Yeah. I think wow is a good description."

"Hey Ronnie..." He said softly as he held her in his arms. "I'm glad I told you that stuff about the Nightshade."

"Why is that?" she asked softly.

"Because somebody needs to know. I feel like I don't have to hide things from you." Damion replied to her softly.

"I'm glad." She hugged him tightly for a moment. "I'm glad you trust me."

Damion leaned back slightly and looked at her with a smile. "It's getting late. Do you have an early shift tomorrow? I wouldn't want to keep you from your sleep." He suddenly felt a little nervous. He didn't know if the question was going to drive her away or not. He was just starting to connect with Ronnie, so the worst that could happen is she called it a night and they could meet up tomorrow. "Besides, we still have that date on the Poseidon."

"The department has the day off tomorrow," she said, a little puzzled. "You want to go on the holodeck tonight?" It was an odd suggestion -- especially after that kiss; but if that was what he wanted, she was game.

"I just wanted to make sure you were rested for the date. I wouldn't want you to leave. Then again..." He paused slightly as he looked down to her with a smile on his face. "You could always spend the night." Damion said softly as he ran his hand down the side of her face. It was a bold move, but he was always one who took risks.

Ronnie searched his eyes for a moment. All she could think about was the man in front of her. "You want to make sure I'm up early to go check out a sinking ship?" she asked humorously. She knew what she thought he asked, but her luck in the dating department was pretty abysmal so she wasn't about to assume anything.

"Honestly? I was just looking for a way to ask you to spend the night. I didn't want to come off as too forward, you know?" Damion smiled and then laughed, awaiting anything from a kiss to a slap in the face.

"Then go ahead and ask; but be warned, there's a 99.99923% probablility the answer will be yes," she teased.

Damion laughed as he put his head down. "Scientists." He shook his head slightly and then looked back up to her with a smile. "You wanna spend the night, Lancaster?" He spoke softly as he brought her in closer. "Just because I asked you to spend the night, doesn't mean anything is gonna happen. Not unless you want it to." He was slightly nervous, but that didn't stop him from speaking.

Ronnie dropped her head onto Damion's shoulder and shook her head, chuckling. "You really know how to make a girld feel wanted, don't you?" After a moment she leaned back and looked him in the eye, her cheeks pink. This was awkward. "I wouldn't say yes if I thought nothing would happen. That would be ... uncomfortable."

Damion just smiled at her. The thought of her and him spending the night was enough for him to feel normal. All that time spent on the Nightshade made him feel like he was capable of being anything else, but the time he spent with her made him feel like there was more to him than all that. He closed his eyes and then leaned in slowly, locking his lips with hers.

Ronnie let out a soft sigh as she slowly, tentatively, returned his kiss.
