Oh Gods, that had to be one of the best grins she'd ever seen in her life. Katie knew he wasn't teasing her or laughing at her, he was just... grinning. And it looked so good on him, she felt little butterflies swooping around in her stomach.
Then his hand was slipping into her hair, and he was leaning in and brushing his lips against hers, and the butterflies went to full on roller coaster swoops. She didn't hesitate to press her lips against his in return, and then parted them hesitantly to deepen the kiss. Katie couldn't remember the last time she'd been kissed like this, if she had ever it had been a very long time ago. She certainly couldn't remember a kiss ever making her stomach swoop like it was, and as her hand came up to brace against his firm chest, Katie gave a faint noise against his lips without pulling back.
