Hello.

I'm trying to describe a situation when a person experiences pleasure and that pleasure slowly increases.

Can I use "seep in" and "steadily rises"?

Is this good?

He took a sip of the drink. Slowly, the pleasure seeped in and steadily rose, reaching euphoria. He was good drunk, lost in music until his phone screen lit up. He read the text message. It was his ex. The elation was gone.

Generally, can I use "seep in" for pleasure?

He kissed her slowly. Pleasure seeped in their bodies.

Or is it strange?

Kicked in? I'm not greatly taken with seep in.

Would you say there are okay?

1. He took a sip of the drink. Slowly, the pleasure kicked in and steadily rose, reaching euphoria. He was good drunk, lost in music until his phone screen lit up. He read the text message. It was his ex. The elation was gone.

2.He kissed her slowly. Pleasure kicked in their bodies.

Also, is it correct to say "the elation was gone"?

I'm not keen on pleasure kicking me.

This doesn't work for me- kick in has a chemical origin like drink, drugs or medicine.

Perhaps:

The pleasure steadily increased until it reached a peak.
