Henrietta’s long awaited night

Seth felt a pair of hands narrowly grazing the sides of his neck as they made their way behind his head. He opened his eyes, only to see Henrietta also had hers open, a warm look inside them.

He frowned and wanted to break the kiss, but Henrietta’s eyes closed again, and she hardened her hold on his neck, tiptoeing to bring her head up while drawing him closer.

Seth’s frown also eased, and he closed his eyes as well. For a long time, the two remained intertwined, sharing a tame and warm kiss.

Henrietta broke the kiss, letting her heels touch the floor again as she opened her eyes. With her arms still around Seth’s neck, she smiled warmly. “Thank you.”

Seth moved a rogue strain of hair from her bangs that made its way to her eyes away and smiled back. “You’re welcome, but I don’t get what you’re thanking me for.”
