He hadn't intended to start this with a kiss, but now he knew it was the best idea he'd had all day. He didn't draw back until she moaned, and then only because if he didn't stop, she wouldn't. She rested her forehead against his chin, "What are you doing?" He chuckled. "I thought I was kissing you. But if you didn't realize it, I guess I wasn't doing it properly, so maybe we should try it again."
