'How did we get like this?' Scarlet wondered.

Last Scarlet remembered she had been sitting on Ian's lap. Now she was lying beneath him. He had snuck this position on her during the kiss and it was only now that her head bumped onto the arm od the chair that she noticed. 

His body was pressed to her own but not so much that his weight would crush her. She wasn't aware of how they got like this so had her body instinctively move to have Ian nestled between her legs or did he do that but she didn't notice his touch.

Ian kissed her so much like he hadn't seen her in years and was trying to make up for lost time now. Like they were old lovers now reunited. 

Scarlet could feel from her somewhat plump lips, how he was sweetly punishing her at the moment. Scarlet tensed up for a moment when Ian's hand rested on her thigh, but then quickly relaxed. She wasn't uncomfortable by his touch or annoyed by it like she was at the beginning of their relationship.
