Honestly, he was surprised that Rook wanted more than just the simple kiss. What happened to slow courting? But Ash was happy to indulge him, lips parting with little effort needed on Rook's part. His fingers twisted into Rook's shirt as the kiss deepened, as they tasted and explored each other.
He didn't need to be pulled in that close, didn't need to feel their bodies pressed together... But he reveled in it. Rook had said he needed time to be fully intimate but god, Ash wanted to strip him bare right then. It didn't matter who would see them - and damn, would they be seen. After a long moment, he broke away just enough to murmur, "We should stop," but then he was kissing Rook again because why in the fuck would he actually stop now?
