The moment he had the chance his arms moved around her firmly, all but locking into place. They weren't coming releasing her until they absolutely had to. They'd be all prune like from the water if need be. He didn't care and he hoped Daphne didn't care...both the invasion of her bath and his need to be wrapped around her at the moment. He was a bloody fool. He knew it. She knew it. Now, he just had to make up for it.
He barely waited for her soft smile to form before he kissed her. It was nothing more then a soft press of lips, but he didn't want to overstep his boundaries anymore then he already had. When he pulled back, it was only to give him enough room to speak. "Please don't leave me." he muttered. "I'm stubborn, and selfish, and pig-headed, and utterly ridiculous, I know, but there will never be anyone else who makes me as happy as you. I promise I'll do my best to make you just as happy."
Alright, so he sounded like a three year old trying to get out of a grounding, but despite the childish presentation he meant every word of it.
