Trent was happy when she didn't try to fight the kiss, and in fact kissed back with him. Her hand gripping his shirt let him know this was alright, that she was in fact alright with what was happening. Of course he let her speak after she broke the initial kiss. They both needed to gasp for air, it had been a very long time since he had kissed a woman, or even been with one. His travels had been so focused on searching for treasure and running from danger that he had not taken the time to enjoy the finer things in life. If being with a woman brought perks like this then maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all. Her words impressed him as well, the civility behind them was not what he had expected from this previously brash and apparently stuck up snob of a woman. She had that air of being better then everyone else about her, so this was a welcome change. Communication was definitely something he could work on as time went on.<br/><br/>Her initiation of the second kiss was met with vigor and passion as Trent's right hand drifted down to her ass and gave it a nice squeeze. He let her dictate the pace, despite him wanting to dive hard and fast into the kiss. Her lick on his bottom lip was seductive, as gasp escaped his lips as they parted to allow her tongue entrance. His body reacted all over, most notably down below where he pressed against her to let her feel his arousal. As control was relinquished back to him he seemingly tried to suck the life out of her, well not really, but it felt that way. He wanted all of her, more then she maybe realized, she was the fairest person he had laid eyes on in quite some time, at least by his standards.<br/><br/>His heart was racing as he resumed watching more closely where he was steering the boat. He had done well with the distraction, at least keeping it straight with his left hand. The lack of eye contact now was more out of necessity and not being rude to her. "You are beautiful, we are alone, and honestly it was that or slap the shit out of you, I went with the kiss, figured it would have a more positive outcome." He was brash and honest with his answer, though there was definitely a lack of tact as well. He had meant it though, her 'I am always right' attitude was getting the best of him, and the whole idea that she was even with him still pissed him off. He had let his ego get the best of him, it was unfortunate, though more moments like this could prove to have a positive benefit to her presence. "We have a long journey ahead of us, I have a lot of desires, you probably do too after living with monks for most of your life, so what is the harm in some occasional fun. It relieves stress and tension, and is good exercise too." He tried to find ways to justify a potential romantic less romp with Sveta, but he didn't know how convincing he was being either.
