An involuntary shiver runs through him at her touch and he deepens the kiss in such a way as to give her all the control while keeping none of it for himself. Sweet, sensual exploration and appreciation, nothing more, nothing less. One hand slips slowly down her throat and shoulder, down her ribs and side to rest at her waist, trespassing no further. When finally he allows the kiss to break, he remains mere centimeters away, looking into her eyes and breathing, “One would think you seek to test the skills of my former trade, my lady.”
