Touch and Kisses
Alaric kissed her lips just long enough that he could inhale her breath and feel the warmth of her lips. This was the first time he kissed her tenderly, surprising Eve.
She should have pushed him away but she couldn't. Instead, she closed her eyes instinctively as she angled her mouth over his.
The soft kiss deepened and became more sensual. The heat rose in her cheeks the moment she felt Alaric's tongue capture her own tongue, gently sucking on it.
His mouth settled more firmly on hers. The tip of his tongue slid past her teeth, stroking and licking the inner walls of her mouth.
As he continued kissing her, his hand gradually began to explore. His palm slowly made its way down, pushing up the hem of her dress.
In that brief moment, Eve's rationality won over her. She tried to push his hand away. But Alaric captured her wrist, pinning her hand over her head.
