Ozymandias had certainly not been expecting that. His first instinct was to decline, because while they were in a fairly secluded part of his parent's garden they were still in his parents garden, and he did not fancy the idea of someone walking by and seeing them. On the other hand, what was the worst that could happen? They'd be spotted, and forced to marry to save her reputation? He'd already offered to marry her. Perhaps they had nothing to lose.

The other thing on his mind, of course, was that he did not want to stop at just kissing her. He'd wanted to touch her for so long. Being alone with her and kissing her and then just stopping would require a good deal of restraint. (But then — perhaps they had nothing to lose?)

"Then I rescind my offer. I thought you were a respectable lady," he said; his tone was cool but he was obviously not serious, because he followed this immediately by closing the distance between the pair of them. Without giving her a chance to reply or to protest, he took hold of her and kissed her.
