Really, Tabitha knew she probably should have expected something like the kiss with how playful and physically flirty Trace was being. Weres were always like that in her personal experience and if you didnt give them a direct no than it was a yes to them.
He managed to catch her off guard though as he kissed her, and then gave a small tease to the seam of her lips, making her gasp them open slightly. When he broke away, there was obvious surprise in her eyes, but she wasnt angry or even all that upset. Her cheeks were flushed as she tried to think straight. Trace was a very handsome young man after all.
