She could normally read men so well, but still she manages to be caught off guard by Ubbe's response. From the moment that he is staring down at her in almost wonder, to the second his lips make contact with hers. It was an unexpected seduction, something she can't say she's experienced with a man before.

Her body roared to life, screaming at her for depriving it for so long of warmth and touch. She had sealed herself away inside a stone crypt, never considering that what she might need and be longing for was something like this.

Her lips parted for him instinctively, banishing any thoughts of whether this was right or wrong. She needed and wanted, that was what mattered in her mind.
