She timidly lifted her gaze to his once again and was immediately met by his lips pressing firmly into hers, catching her off guard. One of his hands moved to fist the hair at the back of her head while the other rested steadily on the side of her neck, effectively holding her in place to receive his mouth. His kiss was unyielding and firm in style, yet his lips were soft to the touch, not at all something she ever thought she would consider. He gently nipped at her lip, definitely not something she thought would happen either. She exhaled deeply in response.
