It was almost scary, how organically the kiss progressed...his fingers sliding into her hair, his answering growl rolling through his body, close enough for her to feel in hers. As he deepened the kiss, she hesitated only a moment before she let her lips part beneath his, allowing him a brief second of control as her hand drifted up to rest on his shoulder, clutching and kneading as the kiss went on.

When it broke again, she found herself in the same place...unwilling to move, unable to open her eyes and break the spell just yet. Instead of moving in for another kiss, though, she leaned in to brush her nose against his in a more animal gesture of affection, nuzzling him.

"Wow." she breathed, finally opening her eyes to meet his with a slow, private smile.
