Pepper sighs into the contact, taking him up on his invitation with pleasure, her fingers tightening on his shoulders and grasping more firmly. She issues a soft little moan into the kiss as it deepens, returning the caresses of his tongue with no such tentativeness. One hand lets go of his shoulder and finds a new home at the back of his head, stroking his hair with shaking fingers as the soft kiss completely consumes her, turning more passionate by the moment.
