This... this was good. Kissing had always been something Beth enjoyed. She could do it for hours, given the right mood and enough time. The right guy helped a lot, too. In the back of her mind, though, she still had these niggling worries that he wasn't really wanting to do this. That he was just going along with it to keep her from throwing a fit or something.

After she'd had a temporary fill of kissing him long and slow, she pulled back very slowly, pausing twice to suck lightly at his bottom lip and press a kiss to the corner of his mouth. Then she rested her forehead against his, panting.

"This okay? I mean... you want to? I'll leave you alone if you really want, but..." She shrugged and bumped the tip of his nose with hers. "I don't really want to. I like this. Like you."
