His lips curled into a soft smile as they touched Zoey’s. Where hers were soft and smooth, his were rough and worn from spending nearly every night wrapped around cigarettes and pipes. At least she seemed to take care of herself. His hand ventured up her arm and sat atop hers, each tiny movement of her fingers sending sparks through his skin.
Joseph had kissed many many people before. All species, all races, male and female. But each time–each first time was entirely different. This was all strange trepidation masked by psychedelics and hallucinogenics. This was the truest forms of their persona masking the tenderest parts of their anima. It was distant and connected all at once.
He loved every tiny bit of it; from the way her weight shifted against his lap to how her lips were parted just the tiniest bit for him to tease his tongue along.
Her eyes closed when she let her fingers trace over his jaw, retracting when the tips met the ends of his hair and sliding them up to meet his hand. Her breath came in quick exhales, barely taking in enough air to breathe as her lips parted and she found herself pushing closer into his chest. If you ever had to know one thing about this she-wolf, it was that she would rather have three hours living in the rush of a first kiss than be stuck in wolf form.
There wasn’t much knowledge to be had when it came down to the romantic stuff. Zoey had had only one honest-to-God serious relationship in all of her twenty-two years, and what came before and after that was for her to know and everyone else to find out. She remembered things by touch, and all that had been in those moments of weakness had been hands reaching, and lips seeking out every single detail and change on the other person’s body.
Joseph could have been another one of those moments had he hadn’t had the sense to stop it from going any further. Normally it would have been the other way around, and for that, she was ever so grateful. He had his head screwed on straight and the looks to match. God, she was feeling so freaking hot right now…
