Alphen was absolutely going to tell her straight as soon as they could bring themselves to part from the kiss, that she was a fantastic kisser. To the point that he'd likely kiss her again right after. Because the warmth and happiness that spread through him as they tangled tongues together like this was so...perfect. It was a bit like the searing heat of using the blade she provided him but without the horrific body damage it inflicted. Still just as powerful to his senses though.

He pulls her ins closer as if this closeness is still not enough. Also still too many clothes in the way in his honest opinion.
