These feelings were quite unfamiliar to young Lenally. She'd only read of such intimate encounters in her secret stash of romantic novels. She'd read them, wondering what it would be like even as she resisted the idea. She feared falling in love because she felt she would be changed and not for the better. But her heart raced as she felt Lorenso's gentle caress as he stroked his fingers through her short black hair.  His compliments made her smile a bit as she looked away. Then he'd mentioned her shyness.<br/><br/>"I....I'm not shy!" she tried to protest, her blushing cheeks saying otherwise. He had to mention her trembling too. And yet when he leaned in again, she felt herself begin to lean forward, pressing her lips to his own. She was no coward after all! She felt him pull her closer to his body, and begin to deepen the kiss. She wasn't quite sure what to make of it when she felt his tongue starting to attempt to enter her mouth, and when she parted them to ask what he was doing she soon got her answer. It felt so strange but she couldn't deny it was....nice. Her tongue shied away from his own, almost as if in a game of tag. She wasn't quite sure what to do next, trying to awkwardly hold him as he held her so close.
