Aaron wasn't used to taking things 'fast' but then again, Angie was different. She wasn't some new acquaintance but someone he knew and in fact, trusted. He wouldn't deny now that he always felt an attraction to her and therefore he didn't stop himself. He wanted to be with her, to protect her.
He pulled back, breaking the kiss to study her face, expression, her eyes and he brought a hand up to cup her face.
"I only want to take this as far as you are comfortable," he said, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable or forced into anything.
