His kiss sends warmth spiraling through her palm and up her arm and by the time he's wrapping his arms around her, Pippa is more than willing to melt into his embrace. Being held, feeling his breath on her neck as he rubs his face against her hair, she can't help but think of the previous night and the way they had stood together in Last Call's storeroom. Hesitant touches turning into hungry kisses and eagerly exploring hands...if she just thinks about that, thinks of him as the man whose kisses she wants, everything else is easy to overlook.

She turns her head then, pressing a light kiss just below his ear before offering, "I'm not afraid you."
