Just that smile of encouragement was all he needed to gain a little more confidence, releasing the fingers that he had been grasping since the kiss began, moving his hand round to rest gently above her hip, ensuring that the press of her body against his wouldn't stop any time soon. He felt it, felt it all, a desire, a longing he hadn't felt for so long now, had never really considered that he would feel again.

"You," he whispered, breaking the kiss again, only to kiss her nose, and her forehead. "You...I don't know. But you." He pressed his lips against hers once again, wondering if he could hold her any closer against him.
