Her question surprised him, though of course he had anticipated that things would head this direction. It wasn't the usual cadence, though; it was typical to kiss first, and let everything come off in the heat of passion that flourished after. Undressing himself without the distraction of kissing or touching would leave him rather exposed... perhaps by design.
