Summary: This longer than usual drabble is based on the final scene of A Woman Scorned, when Zorro reassures Victoria that he truly loves her and her alone.





	The Kiss

At first he could hear her. She assured him she was alright, really alright, and he smiled faintly. He was still worried that she had collapsed into his arms in the tavern. Brushing her jaw line gently, he lost track of what she was saying…something about having to clear someone's name. It was important, yes, but the way her lips moved as she spoke mesmerised him and all sense fled. Resting his hand on her shoulder, he felt the softness and warmth of her skin under it.

She stopped talking, realising he wasn't listening to a word she said. He gently leant forward, his lips lightly, gently caressing hers, as his hand stroked her cheek. She responded slowly, and as her eyes closed Zorro felt the madness of passion spark and die, replaced by staid responsibility. This was her bed, and this was her room, and they were alone. He opened his eyes reluctantly, and waited for her to open hers, savouring the rapture in her face, before slowly, reluctantly, leaving the room.
