I stopped. He looked at the distance between us and lifted his brows.
"This seems close enough," I said. "For safety's sake."
"Safe from the branch breaking? Or from me?"
He swung his leg over and reached for me, pulling me into a kiss. He started slow, shifting, checking my balance. I backed up a little and swung my leg over, so we were both straddling.
"Better?" I said.
"Much."
He gave me a real kiss then, deep and hungry, and I think the branch could have snapped and I wouldn't have noticed until I hit the ground. Maybe not even then.
