Inari stopped walking and tugged on his arm to get him to turn and face hef there. She smiled as she looked into his bright eyes. Her eyes were dark and focused and she held his gaze without blinking. There was a coy shyness, but no hesitation.
"I think that would bo okay," she said after a moment. Her voice didn't waver, her eyes didn't avert, there was nothing but honesty in her response. She wanted him. "And I wouldn't say no to more than kissing, Chris."
She wasn't stroking his ego. Her interest in him was sincere.
