He had only seen her properly smile a handful of times now, but he was already immensely fond of it — particularly the effect it gave her eyes. Seeing the edges of her eyes crinkle when she smiled led him to think of planting soft kisses there, one on each side — but this was competing with the desire he had to kiss her everywhere. Everything about her body was new to him, and now that he had the reassurances that she wanted him to do this — not just that she thought they probably ought to, but actually seemed to be enjoying when he touched or kissed her — he wanted to explore every bit of it. And she had brought up the rest, too, so it seemed most fitting to keep moving in that direction.

"Oh, no, you couldn't be," he returned easily. He ran his fingertips along the edge of her thigh once more and then somewhat reluctantly moved it off of his leg. He didn't want to put any space between them, but sooner or later he had to get fully undressed, and he assumed pausing to do it would only feel more disruptive the longer he waited. He took a step away and pulled his undershirt off, tossing it to the floor as he headed towards the bed. "Even if you were, somehow... no one's going to know except us. And we've got a whole week to ourselves to practice," he joked, shooting a smile back over his shoulder at her. He slipped his underwear off as he climbed onto the bed, sitting on his knees atop the comforter, and gestured for her to join him.
