During the kiss, his hands migrated from her arms to around her waist and he pulled her in as close as he could and his hand slipped to her back. When the kiss broke, he kept his hands where they were, not wanting to let her go. He was smiling widely at her, happy that she had kissed him back. He listen to what she said, then answered softly, "I don't know what you were thinking, but I like this too." And he lifted the hand that was not holding her in to brush it through her hair, starting at the side of her face.
Before he realized he had done it, the hand that was still on her back had become so hot that he had burned her sweater. He immediately dropped both his hands and stepped away from her. "Damnit!" He really needed to get a handle on his power. The problems seemed to have gone away when he first saw her, but the sheer heat he felt for her was starting to show itself through his power.
