Nate closed the door of the room and sat on a chair, patiently waiting for Lara's move. Thankfully, she knew how to be assertive when she wanted: he didn't need to do all the work all the time, and it was easier to understand what she wanted when she was free to get it.
He observed her body for a moment, on one side excited to touch her and on the other afraid. He still had that little problem to solve.
However, he couldn't just leave and wait for another time after figuring out what was wrong with him or after a medical check-up. He didn't have the strength to go.
When Lara sat on his lap, one of his dreams was finally fulfilled. He had dreamt to see her acting comfortable around him, and nothing she could do would have upset him. He liked her being familiar with him enough to do something daring!
«Can we... Can we just kiss today?» she asked, caressing his cheek and looking at his lips.
