Despite knowing it must be coming, the kiss takes her by surprise - the suddenness of it, the force of it, the heat of his mouth and the way his tongue presses against her lips. She has never been kissed before, not like this - who would dare? - and despite her bravado, for a moment she doesn't quite know how to respond. Her fingers tighten briefly, instinctively, against the hem of his trousers, and she lets out a sound not quite of protest but of surprise.
Not of protest at all, if she's entirely honest. If he had been more tender, perhaps. As it is... well, he is a handsome man, whatever her personal feelings about the situation might be, and he is tall and strong and well-muscled, and while she would never admit it aloud, it has never been tenderness that she has in mind in long, lonely nights. It is perhaps no surprise, then, that despite her hostility, his rough, searching kiss awakens the first stirrings of heat in her belly. And after that first moment's uncertainty, fuelled less by that heat than by a stubborn refusal to be the cold fish he expects, she kisses back with a ferocity unfettered by skill. It is clumsy and undeniably combative, but it is a kiss nonetheless, her lips parting to meet his as she pushes back against him.
