Charlotte settled fully against him with her cheek resting over his heart.
The oversized shirt she wore had ridden up slightly along her thighs, and one of her legs draped comfortably over his.
Brandon's arms stayed wrapped around her waist, holding her close as the night breeze continued to drift through the half-open window.
They were trading soft, fond kisses for nearly an hour with slow brushes of lips, quiet smiles against each other's mouths as he spoke about his time in the past.
Then the quality of those kisses began to change.
Charlotte tilted her head and parted her lips more deliberately.
Their mouths opened together, and the first slow slide of tongue against tongue drew a soft, surprised sound from her throat.
He answered by deepening the kiss and the wet, quiet sound of their tongues moving together filled the small space between them.
Charlotte's fingers tightened in his long hair.
"Mm… Kael…"
