Her hands were on his neck. It occurred to Noble that she had likely done this before; they both seemed to have their own ideas of how kissing should work. He solidified his hands on her hips, and leaned further into the kiss — putting a little more urgency into his movements.

Noble pulled out of the kiss, eyeing the cracked door. No one came to open it. Whoever had come in, or out, they didn't enter. The heat — or warmth, because they'd lacked heat — was gone.

Rosalie blinked at him, her senses gradually returning after being so absorbed in the intimacy of their kiss. Slowly, her hands fell back to her sides and her cheeks flushed scarlet. Was she interested in doing this again? She certainly hadn't protested when he asked and perhaps later, when she wasn't as tipsy and miserable, she'd regret it. For now though - "yes, I would like that."

Noble grinned, feeling cheeky — and, maybe, feeling light for the first time all day. "Great," he said, "Come by anytime.''

Casual. Maybe it was time he tried something casual.
