His hand rose to cup the left side of her face, thumb stroking under her eye. That she acquiesced without many questions was a testament of their bond in his twisted mind. She trusted him, and he trusted her. This was little more than the next evolution in that trust.

"Oh come now, let's not set limits. Touch, explore, test the limitations..." he murmured softly, temptation curling through his words even as he leaned down to gently kiss her lips. He used it as a barometer on if she was understanding where this could actually go if she was willing to walk this path of exploration and tightening their bond.

If nothing more, he considered the risk to be warming, as long as it never came close to him losing her.
