23. Ravenous

Electricity.

Kaiden could feel it in every nerve in his body the instant her lips met his.

He stood still for a second, surprised by this sensation, surprised by her boldness. Her lips grazed his, closed, yet warm and soft. She stayed still however, not moving, or making an effort to deepen their kiss.

Her hand around his neck loosened, and Kaiden realized; she was pulling away.

His senses kicking in, he wrapped a hand around her waist, pulling her closer. A gasp escaped her lips, the only sound before he deepened their embrace, coaxing her lips open. She was hesitant at first, but Kaiden wasn’t the type of man that gave up easily, especially when he had been thinking of this moment for a while now.
