Skylar never expected Joe to suddenly kiss her while they were talking. The unexpected kiss hit her like a storm, leaving her momentarily stunned, and the brush of their lips made her mind go blank.
At first, she forgot to respond. She instinctively leaned against Joe's chest, feeling his warmth and the steady beat of his heart.
This kiss was both intense and lingering, growing more passionate as it went on. Skylar wasn't the type to be overly dramatic.
She understood the physical changes in Joe's body at that moment. He wanted to sleep with her.

His words felt like an invitation to share a dangerous descent into temptation.

Joe didn't respond, but some of his physical reactions lingered.
Skylar flushed with embarrassment. Being held like this made her feel a bit uneasy.

The phone call seemed to have tempered some of Joe's wild thoughts. He took a step back and released Skylar.
"Wait for my call," he said as he walked away.
Skylar was taken aback for a moment. It wasn't until Joe's car disappeared that she snapped back to reality, a smile creeping onto her face.
