Dassen kissed her back deeply, and she met him with how he wanted to kiss her. Adeline moved up against him and his hands dropped to her hips holding her there. She brought one arm up around his shoulders and the back of his neck. The other rested against his chest, he moved a bit turning them and started walking her back toward the balcony area.
His hands slid up her sides, bunching the shirt up and it was a slow kind of movement. His hands moved firmly up. His fingers kind of dug in a bit, not painfully, but it was rather stimulating in her opinion. She moved walking back, and it wasn't really a hurried pace, but he did stop kissing her for a second. His mouth was kind of brushing hers.
