Kenshin thought perhaps that it might not be so wrong to indulge, to let himself feel the happiness that she brought to his still heart. It brought her joy as well, it seemed, and to see her smile gave him cause to believe that he'd done something right to be granted such a reward.
"To see you smile is enough for this one, de gozaru," Kenshin breathed, breaking the kiss just to utter it before capturing her lips again. The kiss was deep and wanting, but not so brutally possessive as the night before. He was demanding without being zealous as his cool hands trailed from her sides to her waist before firmly cupping her backside.
