Cade stood and knelt before Anna. He didn’t speak. He just leaned in and pressed a kiss to her cheek. Then another gently on her lips. Her hand came up automatically and rested on his cheek, her fingers underneath his ear and around the back of his neck. She applied pressure - not enough to force the kiss, but enough to show that it was welcome.
The kiss released and she looked into his eyes. There was a light smile on her face. Her hand stayed on his face. She had liked it very much. She had wanted it and until that moment, she hadn’t even known how much she had wanted it. Anna liked sex and had no problem with casual sex. She had opportunities since meeting Cade, but she had never acted. Never had wanted to. It had been the same with kissing - at least kissing like this. She just hadn’t wanted to. She had missed it.
Even with her enjoyment, she knew the gravity of what had just happened. She understood the big step Cade had just taken. When she spoke, her voice was filled with compassion. ”Are you okay? And please be honest.” Her hand was still on his face and she wanted nothing more than to pull him closer and kiss again, but she wouldn’t push. She had promised.
