I do not comment on his definition of "freely", when I have practically been begging him to kiss me. It might be undignified, but I think he is worth it and I don't care in the least.

"I absolutely do wish it," I say solemnly, and lean forward to kiss him again, must less chastely than I think he would do on his own, but I think it might be time for all of us to just jump into the thing wholly, and see where it takes us.
