That was better. She hadn't liked seeing that lost expression on his face, instinctively hating any time she'd been responsible for putting it there.

She tilted her head, leaning into his caress and when he kissed her she slid her hands around to clasp them lightly behind his neck. Rogue closed her eyes, savoring the sweetness of this kiss, the emotions it conveyed. She trembled, not due to being overwhelmed by the contact, but instead because of the depth of feeling he was expressing. Her lips quivered, hesitant for a moment in just how to respond, before she moved to deepen the kiss.
