The way he drew her close effectively made her choice for her. Not that she wouldn't have felt like she could pull away or change course if she preferred, because she knew without even the tiniest shred of doubt that she could and he wouldn't take any issue with it. Having him kiss her like this, his arms steady and secure around her, just helped her shed some of her indecision from a moment earlier, things she mentally filed away for later instead.

For now, having decided which impulse to chase, she hiked her legs up around his waist as she kissed him. Even now, there was no particular intent in it, more just trying to be as close to him as she could get.
