Annalise stared wide-eyed with her fingers tightly clutching the window sill as she felt Kenric's lips pressed against hers. This was not what she was expecting him to do.
The man let one of his hands rest against her nape as he pulled her face closer to deepen the kiss while his other hand came to rest against one of hers. His hand took hold of hers before he entangled their fingers together, causing their moon threads to be pressed together.
It happened just as suddenly as the kiss, a warm energy emerged between their pressed palms and entered her hand, traveling down to her wrist before spreading to her entire body. She felt her own powers reacting to his fire and then she finally felt it - a connection settling between their moon threads.
He kissed her for a few more seconds before finally pulling away. The smile on his lips had her turning even redder than she already was because of the kiss.
