He met her eyes. There was a hunger there, certainly, and before he knew what she was he likely wouldn't have thought twice about what that could mean. He did think twice now but found himself believing her when she wanted his body and not his blood. Maybe it was just that he wanted her and wanted her to want him that he was willing to overlook what she might do. Maybe he could sense that she was being genuine. He supposed it didn't matter, not when he'd made up his mind about what he was going to do.
That hand did go higher, it was just higher than she was likely expecting.
He brought his hand up to cup her cheek and jaw, the touch light but insistent as he pulled her in a little so he could more easily close what little distance was between them. His lips met hers in a tentative kiss, though he was clearly holding himself back. Given how things had been going it was hard not just to devour her mouth and have her right there on the display counter. Maybe things would get there if she was as willing and wanting as she seemed. He needed to feel more of her out first, make sure he wasn't going to accidentally trigger her other hunger. Though maybe that wouldn't be so bad.
