There are some things she’s almost forever caught off-guard by. And a terribly attractive man kissing her is one of those things. One moment Cassandra is returning her attention to Geralt, because he draws her, pulls at her that way... and the next he’s stealing her mouth in a hard kiss. Oh, Pelor. She cannot help the soft gasp of surprise (and need) against his mouth. She hadn’t thought... she’d wanted, but she’d never thought....

She twines her arms around him and kisses him back, just as hard.
