What had she said? If people were coming? Lyra pulling on his arms jerked him off balance. She was very very close to him, and he looked down at her, trying to focus. She smelled sweet, like- like a pina colada or something. "Hey," he said, because she was looking towards the hallway, and when she didn't look back up at him immediately, he put a hand under her chin, tipped her head up, and kissed her.
Okay, so it wasn't the best of kisses. But her mouth was soft and pliant under his, and all he could think was that her pants were open and she'd said this was what they should do. He didn't quite put his hand inside though. They were tight trousers, and what if she got mad at him? He slid his tongue into her mouth instead, closing his eyes as he kind of lost track of the mission for a hot minute.
