There can be no doubt at all about how much he wants it, not if the way he kisses her is anything to go by. It's soft, yes, but hungry too; slow but with an edge of excitement compounded by his hand stroking up and down her ribs. He knows she wants some distance from this morning's conversation, so he's got no expectations. But that doesn't mean he won't touch if she'll let him. There's something magnetic about her body, probably from all this time spent wondering what it would feel like.

Well, now he doesn't have to wonder any more, and it's magic.
