Gannicus held him into the kiss only to laugh, jumping when Krem smacked his thigh. "Next time I would have added pleasure of watching your face," he said. A promise: there would be a next time. He grinned and kissed Krem again, all raw need and want, before they had to part. Their height difference was enough that it might be the last kiss until they finished.
