There was no objection or resistance when she reached out for his hand, he was far from shy, and to be honest, he was mostly intrigued by her. His fingertips lightly caressed her cheek, and he was able to immediately notice how flushed her skin was, though the reason was more obvious to him than it was to her. "No, not that kind of fever." Smile still planted on his lips, though there was something akin to arrogance on it, which wasn't a foreign feature for Alec. "Something else, not a sickness." He had been doing his best not to look down at her outfit and take more notice of it, but then again, he didn't really care either. So what? He was attracted to her, and looking was looking, no matter what perspective that you have.
Then she was grinning, and that was something else entirely, making her even more attractive. "Well, I don't mind you helping, but I'm planning on ending it in the first round. Need to have plenty of time for dinner, don't we?" He hadn't removed his hand either, palm pressing against her cheek.
