When Adam made that sound, Alec almost pulled away, afraid that he'd unintentionally crossed a line. Adam might have found them a secluded spot to share their first kiss, but that didn't mean that he couldn't change his mind. Then he realized that the sound hadn't sounded angry and Adam would be more vocal than that if he wasn't happy with the idea of being kissed.

He wouldn't be touching him, encouraging Alec to stay close. Humming softly when Adam's fingers brushed against his neck, he accidentally broke the kiss when a shiver ran down his spine. Face warming with a blush, he began to apologize but the words were stolen away as Adam kissed him.

His nervousness and embarrassment faded turning to something that still kept his heart racing but not in the painful way that it had with Magnus. His breath still caught and he still felt a similar type of excitement, but this seemed completely different - more hopeful - than the emotions that Magnus had described the night before that kiss.
