Alex raised an eyebrow at her curious about just how she exactly had behaved previously. Then of he could have actually kept up with her then. He'd never really expected anything. "That sounds perfect to me." Alex stopped before he added 'like you' to it. He had a rather outdated view on sex he guessed to her in some ways but others he might actually surprise her.
"Well..." He did look a lot happier that she was okay with waiting. "I don’t expect anything like that. Except maybe to cuddle." He ducked his head the best he could because he was then curled up with her where she'd put his arms around her. He liked that. He was as he listened to her comparing the two brothers against each other more than a little surprised at how accurate she was.or at least his opinion.
But it was the last part that hit him hardest.
The number of people he ever let in was so small. He could count them on one hand. Both if he was feeling particularly generous. But the ones on there... he'd give his life without hesitating to make sure they were okay. He did always wonder if the favor would be returned except for one case. And now he he thought there was a second.
"You like that I'm grumpy and hate pretty much everyone?" He smiled at her softly as she kissed him. Betraying everything in that sentence. He kept most people away. Those he let in he guarded closely. Cared about with everything. He'd had so much ripped away from him that he valued it.
Alex moved just enough that he could catch her lips for a gentle kiss. "You definitely make the top of my list."
