As much as she wants him, Kate's glad when the kiss is slow. The pulse and spark is still there. If he pushes, she'll push back and they'll be right there were they were. With Aidan, that's safe. He expects her to fight back and never to give away the upper hand, but Imri's gifts demand her surrender.
It's still immediate, her yielding under his mouth, her fingers curling into his shoulder and around his side. Goddamn he rings her bells. But it's more than that and Kate knows it. He kisses like he cares about her. Like he wants her. Like he's trusting her with this huge, terrifying thing. It's that, more than anything, that keeps her from pulling him down over her. He has to be able to trust her.
