There was no stopping the shiver through his body when her hands started to touch him, leaving her free to explore as much as she wanted because there was no way in hell he was stopping her. He had to take deep breaths between easy kisses, feeling so much right now he had no idea how to express anything but his desire for her in this moment. He may not have shared the kind of fire she and Gale did about certain things, but he definitely had that same passion about her. He always had.

"Katniss..." he finally murmured breathlessly in return, blue eyes opening slightly to look at her, to take in what he could of her expression right now.
