Despite his bound hands, despite the order not to do anything unless ordered to, Shannon leaned forward to try and keep the kiss lasting longer. Now he was just being greedy, buying time for the bubble of warmth and safety. His hands automatically clung to the one Eli still had in his grip as if to keep his balance with the movement; it didn't help all that much, as he still ended up wobbling from his unfamiliarity with his position and how to work his center of balance while kneeling.

Against his wishes, the kiss ended and Shannon sighed softly. "Not yet," he answered. He was good enough to last for now. He was sure Eli must have had other plans to follow through on, after all.
