Katherine did not even make an attempt at suppressing the hot wave of excitement within her at Eward's kiss. Her chest was warm, her hands trembling as she slid her arms around his neck, supporting herself against him as he pulled her forward into his embrace. Sighing against his lips, Katherine ran her fingertips along the back of Eward's neck, a movement both to relax herself and him. For a fleeting moment, Katherine wondered whether or not this was fair to either of them, to continue going on as they were when nothing could come of it. But she pushed the thought from her mind as quickly as it had come, instead focusing on the soft, sensual caress of Eward's lips on hers.
