[ Damn. She really likes books.
He takes a seat on the couch, shooting her a smile. ]
Maybe a glass of water? I know, I've got expensive tastes.

[ She totally read his mind. ]
-- Seriously? Wow. You should, like, run a book store or something.

[ He spreads his hands. ]
Totally free. Unless you count, like, vegging out as a plan.

[ -- this totally catches him off-guard, which is why he freezes when their lips first touch.
But after that initial shock is past, he's totally kissing back. He keeps it chaste, though -- he doesn't want to send the wrong signal, make this seem like he's looking for a one-off or something. ]

[ He pauses, wants to say, Fuck yeah, oh my god, why is that even a question--
But instead he nods -- mutely, at first, but then he swallows, trying to alleviate his suddenly dry mouth. ]
What about your roommate?

[ Ah.
It's kind of hard to ask, Hey, this isn't just a one time thing for you, is it? 'Cause I kinda thought we had a good thing-- when her lips are pressed against his neck just so, and all he manages is a soft noise at the back of his throat. He tilts his head to give her better access, reaching out to put his hands on her hips. ]
Lucky us, then.

[ He laughs, quiet and breathy. ]
Hey, I'm not complaining, am I?
[ And this time it's his turn to lean in and claim a kiss. ]

[ She was probably going to say "fast," there, huh? She was going to say "fast." And in Peter's mind, it sort of is going a little faster than he'd planned. Sure, kissing was totally in the cards, but maybe not quite like this.
It's just sort of difficult to slow down once he's gotten started. One of his issues.
He should probably make an effort, though.
He reaches up a hand to cup her cheek, then pulls away reluctantly. ]
We can dial it back, if you want.

[ he looks a little confused, then-- ]
I mean, yeah. If you want to, that is. I mean-- if you're not up to it, then--
[ he clears his throat, then just. Starts over. ]
Yes. I do

[ he helps her settle in, hands on her hips. He kisses her in earnest now. Tongues are surely involved. ]
[ it's probably a little too early for Peter to admit how long he's wanted to do this. Because that would probably be gross and stalkerish.
Suffice to say, he's been looking forward to this.
He ducks down to press a kiss to her throat, then follows the line of her jaw to kiss just beneath her ear. His hand reaches up, fingers twining in her hair. ]
