Jeremiah took the kiss and intensified it. He had been wanting, he didn't want to push her. In the bed, the kisses were enough to push him to what he wanted. He would try to hold back, let her make the decisions. He didn't want to push her into something that he had originally told her wasn't his agenda for them.
He rolled onto his back without breaking the kiss and pulled her with him. He wanted her to be on top of him again, feel her body pressed against his.
"Alice. Tell me no if you want us to go slower." He kissed her again, his hand cupping the nape of her neck easily and lightly.
