Says you, gorgeous. [How could he not huff a light laugh at that. Oh, he had been working on that. Trying to find some way to truly surprise Jim. Blow his mind and take his breath away. He's been thinking about it a lot. But that doesn't mean he won't tease Jim as well.

But he supposes he does owe him the next romantic gesture after Jim's 'dinner' and dancing. Yeah... that had quite completely swept him off his feet. Even if Jim burned things.] I promise you'll be surprised when I pay that debt, darlin'.

[Settling back to look up at Jim, he tips his head just slightly with a smirk, cause he damn well plans to blow Jim away. Hopefully. That's the plan anyway.

A plan that evades him when Jim's lips find his and his touch equaled it in gentleness. The expression faded a bit, turning to curiosity as he gave him a questioning look. One that faded into awe at those words. God... talk about hitting him full on with that.] You are really terrible at endearments. [When he finally got words out, that really hadn't been what he'd thought he'd say, but sometimes he runs on autopilot and it just came out. Still, he reaches up to cup the blondes face before speaking softly.] I doubt a lot of things in life. So many it's hard to count. But you're not one of them.

[Lifting up, he presses a kiss again to his lips and lingers close. Just the slight tip of his head lets their foreheads touch before he adds softly.] It's the same... nothings more important to me than you and my daughter. Nothing else comes close.
