That was a great way to get another noise out of her! This time it was a whine, in the back of her neck. She was not proud of it, but it did convey some kind of a protest about how she was supposed to do that when his fingers felt so good and his words were so hot, not to mention the kiss.

But, somehow, after a moment of getting lost in kissing him, she did actually pull back. And off his lap (and away from his hand, sigh), because she needed to stand up to get her clothes off. It was mostly just the jeans and the underwear that she needed to get the rest of the way down her legs and off.

And while she had little interest in making a whole number out of this - the way he'd stripped himself last time - she did take one leaf from his book, which was that she kept looking in his eyes while she was getting naked. Which was probably something Xan from a year ago wouldn't have done, at least not without stumbling.
