Shawn let that fierce and passionate kiss move on for longer than was proper. Not that any of what was happening was proper. It didn't stop him from reveling in it all though. When her hands left his to wrap his waist, his still free hand moved up along her neck to cup her cheek while the other remained firmly around her waist. The kiss was more exhilarating than any voyage on a ship he'd ever experienced. And that was saying something.
But when he was near out of breath, he slowly pulled back. He didn't remove his hand from her waist, however, and still held her close against his own body still. He was loathe to break that bit of content, well aware of every bit of curve of hers pressed against his solid and muscled frame. "I can't promise you a life of grandeur or even riches really," he found himself saying, eyes searching her face as he spoke, "And there will be times I'm away for weeks at a time. The sea isn't always the most forgiving. But if you're willing to try and okay with such things, I'd like to see where this could go." Not that he didn't already have an inkling but the fact of how his life was could very well deter her from it.
