This, this wasn't something he could push away. Alex's body pressed against him caused his breath to hitch, her breath on his ear pulled his eyes shut as he took a hard swallow, trying to keep his composure.
It was an utterly futile effort with her straddling him like that, no matter how hard he tried. Especially with her holding his face inches away from hers.
Her body pressed against him and his ability to feel every soft bit of her armor as she threw it away was intoxicating, and he could feel her chipping at his own bit by bit. Pieces of it metaphorically falling to the floor as his own composure began to fall and his hand moved up her back, fingers running over every nub of her spine before it reached the lower part of her rib cage to pull her tighter against him, almost pinning her there.
At the same time, he bridged the small gap between them, taking her lower lip between his and tugging on it slightly before fully kissing her, eyes closed and full of a desire that he hadn't been able to express in over twenty years. He'd loved Coralee, desired her with an intensity he never thought he would for anyone else. But that time had faded with the years she'd left her family to believe she was dead. For about a year now that desire had become Alex's alone. And it was manifesting into reality, armor forgotten and all.
I don't have an intense enough icon, so here, have him playing air guitar instead.
