In the end, he had made a decision back there, and now, he would make another one.
He had her permission anyway; in fact, it was Eva herself who had pointed things out. So he should respond in kind and not shy away from making more moves toward her.
Christian pulled her toward himself by their clasped hands, and, slipping his other hand to the back of her neck, he leaned in and kissed her inviting lips once more.
He wanted to make his intentions even clearer, more unmistakable, right in front of someone from her household.
Anyway, maybe because it was his first time kissing today.
But, Christian realized he couldn't go back to the person he was before, someone who didn't know this taste.
He was already ruined beyond saving by those soft, irresistible lips.
As just pressing his lips against Eva's for a few moments felt utterly fatal.
