The kiss started softly, Rina's lips brushing his like a hesitant question. Akira answered by pressing harder, slipping his tongue in to meet hers, his hands gripping her waist tighter as he yanked her body flush against his.
Heat built between them, not just desire, but a raw claim… he was erasing her fear, replacing it with the solid feel of him holding her close.
Rina gave in completely, her arms locking around his neck, her chest heaving against his as she kissed back fiercely.
Their mouths moved, tongues tangling, breaths mixing in hot gasps, all the built-up confusion and terror pouring out in the way she clung to him.
Finally, they pulled apart gasping. Rina's face had changed… no more wide-eyed panic, just focus, total trust, and a burning intensity in her eyes that hit him like a spark.
"I'm yours," she breathed, her lips still brushing his. "No matter what this turns into, whatever comes… I'm with you."
