Jayden briefly wondered just how many bachelors Madeleine associated with - surely, she was referring to her brother and his friends. He pushed the concern from his mind.
How many glasses of wine did he have? Was this his third? He was feeling it, just a little bit - he was a light weight, something his friends always teased him about. The feeling was warm and welcome.
Madeleine's touch added to the wine's effect, and he responded by brushing her hair back once more, easing his hand along her face. He moved forward and kissed her lightly, teasingly, before pulling back. "I hope you're enjoying your evening," he murmured before taking another small sip of wine. Small steps, a little bit of teasing...it should make for an excellent night.
