Her reaction is positive and not quite as subtle as it could be. It's an arched back and that same soft noise she made that prompted him to kiss her the first time, a soft, quick sigh against his lips before she's kissing him more. His skin is a bit rough, but the touch is gentle and cautious. It's how he's always been with her and even if she isn't that small, terrified child anymore, she still appreciates his behavior.


It's why she's so happy to just keep kissing him and learning what is okay for them to do.

She follows his lead, one hand very, very tentatively slipping under his shirt and resting on his side.

Well! She sure can see why he likes this. His skin is warm, muscles underneath solid. Her arm slides around his back, not quite doing the same thing he's doing, just enjoying the skin-to-skin contact and having him as close as she could.
