[ it's good that one of them has self-control! Because while Peter is better about keeping himself in check, he forgets how much of him bleeds through in their connection, forgets to keep that in control. And he really. really. wants her.
He's careful to move his hands from the still healing patch of skin (if only because the reminder is an unpleasant one, but also because he would hate to hurt her), settling at the small of her back. He moves forward again, runs his tongue hesitantly along her collarbone and presses a kiss to the dip of her throat. Every touch is gentle and a little hesitant, like he's unsure of himself or of her or of just-- this in general. His experiences before this were more about need than romance. He just doesn't want to screw something up. ]
