[ It's difficult, making herself slow down. Eddie's always had what she calls a "Too Much Gene," where she can't convince herself not to greedily grab at the things she wants. Maybe it comes from her upbringing, maybe it's just a personality flaw, but she's always been the type of person to glut on something good when it's in front of her, just in case it gets taken away. Moderation has never been her strong suit.
It means she smokes too much, drinks too much, gets in fights too much. It also means, when a handsome man is leaning over her and licking into her mouth, she has to fight the urge to pull him back onto the bed with her, to haul his body overtop of hers so she can enjoy the way he presses her down and pins her to the mattress.
She didn't get to enjoy the feeling of Tommy sprawled on top of her earlier, a little preoccupied with the knock on her head and the crashing light behind them, and she wants to rectify that now.
But she makes herself slow down, forces her hand to unclench from the front of his shirt so she can smooth her palm up his chest to cup the back of his neck instead, the tips of her fingers tangling in the curls that are barely restrained by his hairtie. He kisses her with purpose, like he's mapping her out, and that focus is actually incredibly sexy, so she gives herself over to it and relaxes into his touch. ]
