He smiled a touch at this as he would pet her cheeks slowly slowly pulling himself up close to her so that his physical body shared warmth with her. He held her like a lover and not a pet or a sexual slave. He kissed at her neck slowly and relaxed with her. He wasn't sure if she was sincere or not but he read the signs. He knew she wanted him and he merely went upon those motions. Sure she might not have wanted them in this way but when would she have acted upon them? She told him long ago that the males make the first move in her tribes... so this was the logical leap to show his affections. She valued strength and he did have strength and courage. But also cunning. He wanted her to accept him as worthy of that.
