"Babe, I've taught people how to skate before. You caught on way too fast. You could have just told me you already knew."

Yeah, I know, I just didn't want to. Suddenly the small cuts on the ice seem really interesting.

"Maybe I just wanted to replace those memories with new ones?" It comes out as more of a question than an answer, but oh well. I want today to be the first thing that pops into my head when I think of skating, rather than all of the times David taught me.

I don't realize that I've stopped skating until Oakley gently lifts my chin. His eyes burn into mine, and he pulls me tight against his chest.

"I think I know something that might help," he almost whispers, leaning in so close his breath stirs my hair.

My heart pounds painfully against my chest. "What?"

"This."

Without warning, his lips are on mine. I stand there, rigid and taken aback until his grip tightens around me, ripping through my surprise. I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck, my fingers tangling themselves in his hair. I try to pull him even closer as I kiss him back with every pent up emotion inside me.

Suddenly the tenderness of the kiss is replaced by hunger—a wild, seemingly insatiable hunger. Oakley nips my bottom lip as his mouth desperately meets mine once again. I trail my hands from his hair, down his back, and under his shirt. I lean into him as my fingers trace the indents covering his skin. A low moan escapes Oakley's lips, urging me to press myself closer to him.

He presses me softly against the boards before detaching his mouth from mine to leave a trail of wet kisses along my jaw. He's lit a fire in me. One that only he can put out.

Oakley gently presses our lips together one last time before pulling away. Stepping back, I meet his eyes and attempt to hold back a proud grin. His eyes are dark with a desire that I have no doubt matches my own.

I rest my forehead on his shoulder as we both try to regain our ability to breathe. I lift my head and look at him.

"That did help," I giggle.

We both burst out laughing but don't make any move to pull away from each other.
