Athena arched up into him, her arms curling up around his neck to keep him close. Could she have upended their positions and ended up on top? Certainly, and maybe later she would. But right now the heat of his body and the weight of it on top of hers felt too nice, as did the laugh that ended against her mouth. So many things in life were so serious, so laughter was especially nice.
She returned the kiss hungrily, one hand continuing on up to skim into his hair, nails scraping lightly against his scalp.
