'It's Elena who makes the first move. Silently and swiftly, she steps in closer. Her light, tight little body pushes up against his bigger, stronger torso. She smells like raspberries, with an undercurrent of peppermint. He can smell that faint minty scent on her breath as she lifts up her chin and lets her mouth brush his in an airy, barely-there kiss. He can taste it when she deepens that contact, her warm, glossy lips enfolding his lower one, her tongue pressing out to graze its curve with a warm, slick swipe of its tip. She murmurs ever so softly as she reaches up and puts both hands on his chest, and when his hands seize her fragile wrists, she shivers and takes a single step back, looking up at him expectantly.'
