Everything I’ve been working on this week is NSFT (Not Safe For Tumblr), so have a slightly older snippet from Kate and Caius’s second date.
With her fingertips curled over the edge of his cowl, she tugged him down to her level. Stretching up on the tips of her toes, she pressed her lips to his mouth plates, right above the edge of his mandible. Caius blinked at her in surprise as she pulled back, a pretty blush colouring her cheeks. He hadn’t expected her to make the first move, but now she was staring up at him with those big green eyes, watching to see how he’d react.
There was only one thing to do. Very carefully, Caius brushed her loose hair away from her cheek and tucked it gently behind her ear.
“I’ve wanted to do that all evening,” he confessed.
Kate didn’t move. Her eyes remained fixed on his, waiting. Her lips trembled as Caius tilted her chin up with his fingers and leaned down, stopping when their faces were only inches apart. They were so close that he could feel her breath on his mouth plates. Her eyes half-closed in anticipation and she swayed towards him. He closed the distance, pressing his mouth to her parted lips. When his tongue touched hers, she sighed. It was all the encouragement he needed. One hand cupped the back of her neck while the other slipped around her waist, pulling her body firmly against him. Her soft curves fit perfectly in his arms, like he’d know they would.
