Anita's fingers find their way into Asher's hair, and she parts her lips to him, welcoming him. It was their first real kiss, and Anita's cheeks flush slightly as she realizes this.

She wants him. She'd be lying if she said she didn't, though she can't tell if it's her own desire or Jean-Claude's. Tonight, though, she doesn't question it. Anita just feels, allows the lust and love she feels for Asher to fill her as they share that first, sweet kiss.
