'part of bay say?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'partners beginning to enjoy kiss' is the wordplay.
'partners' becomes 'ew' (East and West are partners in the game bridge).
'beginning to' indicates taking the first letters.
'kiss' becomes 'neck' (neck can informally mean to kiss).
The initial letter of 'enjoy' is 'e'.
'ew'+'e'+'neck'='EWE-NECK'

'in' is the link.
