For somebody who had been alone for this long, Isen had very little experience with this sort of thing, and what experience he did have was so long ago that it barely counted, and he didn't really remember it anyways. Furthermore, the fact that with Adelaide, he could actually feel every place she touched, the entire situation was something so remarkably different from what he was used to. He could be impaled ten times over and feel nothing, but when her lips touched his, he felt everything all at once. It was overwhelming, in the best way, and it was intoxicating enough that it willed him to keep going, overcoming his nervousness to keep kissing her.
As she settled in his lap, his arms moved around her waist, strong and encompassing, pulling her softer body into his own until their chests met. With each second that passed, the kiss seemed to intensify, lining up with the level of comfort they both had with what they were doing. It was awkward at first, like two teenagers kissing for the first time, but they were falling into a rhythm, one that was matched not only by the touch of their lips, but in the way he shifted against her, almost absentmindedly moving her in his lap, rocking her back and forth in a subtle fashion.
Her fingers tightened and tugged on the fabric of his shirt, and his did the same to hers. If he could feel his heartbeat racing in his chest, he'd have recognized the way it was firing at full speed, anxious, yet excited for what was to come, but trying to remain respectful and gentle in the way he let himself enjoy this new form of intimacy.
He simply nodded his head, in response to what she had requested. He had no intentions of going anywhere else, anyways, but hearing that she was in the same head space as he was put him at ease. He wouldn't stop worrying about their situation, or what was to come, but for tonight, he could forget about anything that didn't involve the two of them, and their exploration of what they were feeling for the first time, properly, since their fates had become intertwined. "The only place I wish to be is right here with you."
Isen's lips hungered for hers, capturing them again, reconnecting them with fervor, testing the limits of just how far he could take this before he'd lose his nerve, or his inexperience would come back to haunt him. To test that boundary, his finger tips touched at the space between the hem of her shirt and the waist of her shorts, moving directly across a part of her he had never so directly touched before.
