EVEREST
"It did?" Maybe the feel of a kiss was far more unique than he gave it credit for. In fact, being grabbed by Dahlia and then lazily made-out with by Mateo were really not the best instances of kissing to hold up in comparison with what he'd just done with Isla. Alas, lack of experience and all that.
Far more sober than he'd been with Mateo, Ever was aware of the beat of his own heart, but found he didn't mind his stampeding rhythm. It felt appropriate, somehow, and though it was distracting, the feel of Isla's body against his was more than loud enough to drum it out. "I would." Studiously, at first, Ever placed his hand around Isla's waist in a way which might have reminded her of early days learning ballroom dancing back in Northaven were she paired with some awkward youth too intimidated by her beauty to be anything but nervous. However as she pressed herself against him, unconsciously his fingers spread against her lower back in support of the movement.
"Yes—" The please died on his lips, as he was holding his breath.
