Meaning?

Hi,

What is the meaning of had her tongue in his ear in the following text?

When Carl nodded at twelve, Brianna practically had her tongue in his ear.

Please note that Brianna is the wife of Carl and the context is about an auction of a sculpture, and twelve is twelve million Dollars.

Thanks

She is extremely excited and eager to win the auction and is graphically telling her husband to keep on going.
