[Angela was crossing into a dangerous territory, she knows, but all of the warning signs melt away at his touch. She instinctively tilts her cheek into his palm, drawing in a shaky breath as she savors it.]
You deserve so much more. [Her voice shakes when she speaks, and she knows she can say nothing else. In the privacy or her quarters, hours away from exiting each other's lives, it's one thing to acknowledge their physical attraction. It's another to go beyond that. As if they could ever have some sort of life together.
Her hands are trembling when she reaches up, not out of fear of him, but that he might deny himself this, even now. She moves slowly, giving him time to reject her advances, her fingers deftly working to unclasp his mask.
If there was a time to put a stop to this, it was now, in the lingering silence that followed as they watched each other. Knowing it was ultimately up to her, Angela takes in a slow breath before she leans up and presses her lips to his.
It's less of a kiss and more of a reassurance, her lips feather light against his. There's still that fear that she'll upset him, that she'll move too fast and push him away- she pulls back before she forgets herself, a questioning look in her blue eyes.]
