And he had been right. Not that he would complain. And he probably would have just kissed her a few minutes ago, but he wanted her to make the move first. especially if he had been reading the whole thing wrong. He had enough rejection this year. He didn't want to deal with any more of it.
The minute she was on his lap, he placed his hands on her hips, still letting her be the one in control here. When she kissed him, he kissed her back. One hand moving up to the side of her head, fingers tangling into her thick blonde hair. His other hand moved to her lower back as he held her close. Should they be doing this? Maybe not. But he honestly didn't care at the moment. It felt nice to be wanted and he was just going to go with it, wherever it went.
