"I see..." Neraxis replied with a wide smile as he pulled her closer and gave her a peck on the cheek.
Celina didn't back away in the slightest, and in fact, turned her head at the moment of the kiss, which in turn made him kiss her directly on the lips.
The two indulged in the kiss for a few minutes, touching each other all over.
But neither made the first move.
Celina, because she was embarrassed and despite her tough exterior, was most likely as timid as Aurelia herself. That was probably how they became such good friends since Aurelia managed to slip in between Celina's cracks.
As for Neraxis, he felt that by sleeping with Celina, he would be skipping all the happy steps that came before it.
In essence, they had known each other for quite some time, but only recently did they start to outwardly show their feelings for one another.
Because of that, Neraxis didn't want to jump to sex, and instead, he wanted Celina to experience all that a relationship had to offer.
