Acht laid his back on the wall as he thought about what happened previously. He was not a dense idiot so he was sure that this kiss was not friendly by any means. It was a straight on french kiss with very clear intentions behind them.
But, that fact made him feel conflicted even more. Leislet was a beautiful and smart woman who would be the desire of any sane man. She was also kind and very considerate which was like a sherry on top of the cake. However, Acht didn't know whether to accept her feelings or not.
First of all, he didn't really fall for her or even considered her as a romantic interest from the start. She was just like a partner he had and maybe friends if you stretch that meaning to the maximum.
