Su Xiang led Xun Zichen to the bed, pulling him in.
She cupped his face, kissing him fiercely, feeling the slide of his tongue over hers and the sharp exhale he made against her mouth.

There wasn't a moment of realization between them; it was a gradual feeling between denying their sensitivity towards each other, the aching want, afraid of what the other thought.
