In Silas's mind, he was already kissing Tabitha passionately because he couldn't get enough. He was driven crazy by his desire to taste her alluring lips.
Silas desired more from the kiss; his body craved more than he could reach. He wanted to take her away and express his love in a manner she had never experienced.
After resting her hand on his leg, Silas's hand found its way to her thigh. Tabitha's skin happened to be exposed, so when he gently placed his hand on her thigh, a chilling sensation enveloped her body as he began to softly caress it.
Silas's gaze remained fixed on Tabitha's face. Seeing her closed eyes and noticing her lack of resistance made him realize that she, too, desired the kiss.
