Lim gasped, not expecting the sudden show of force. All at once her body was against his and the scent of his musk filled her senses. He’d just been working out. He was warm, but not all of that heat came from exertion, did it? Because as he murmured what he did, her cheeks turned the deepest shade of red a water nymph could turn. Her lips trembled when his barely grazed over hers, and then her own body began to match in temperature when he deepened the kiss.<br/><br/>What was happening? They’d only just met the day before and already? No, this had to be wrong. She should slap him. She thought, and yet her arms moved up, but to rest her palms on his chest, instead of using them to strike his face. Her heart was beating louder than any drum and her mind was on overdrive.<br/><br/>She wanted to melt into him the way she melted into the river....but she couldn’t. The embrace barely lasted only a minute before she pulled away, pushing out of his tight grasp around her. Shaking her head, she felt almost as if she were out of breath. With a slightly shaking voice, she said, “I...I won’t slap you...but I....” her eyes were avoiding his, her cheeks still rosy, “I’m going to go take a shower.” And with that she ran and disappeared behind the door, shutting it behind her and turning the water on, though taking her time in actually stepping inside the shower as she leaned against the bathroom wall just....breathing. Collecting her thoughts. Slowing her heart. Anything.
