A deep breath would have been enough to close the distance between them, but Lara was too transfixed to tease that way. Kitty was still a warm and solid presence, and when she reached out but didn't touch Lara had to suppress what would probably have been close to a whine. Yes, touching Lara Croft without her express permission would generally end badly for the toucher, but this was Kitty.

Kitty who wanted to know if they were thinking the same thing. "God, I hope so," Lara managed before leaning the short distance to cover Kitty's mouth with her own. She'd kissed girls before, which was to say that she'd kissed Sam before, in clubs on nights when Sam thought that girls kissing girls would attract the kind of guy she wanted. But there were no guys here, and she was kissing Kitty all and only because she wanted to.
