Well...that hadn't actually been the response he'd been expecting. Steve couldn't say he was disappointed by it, though. He'd never had the chance to just be playful with someone he was involved with (he'd never had the chance to get this involved with anyone, before), so there was a learning curve. But if this was the result... well, he wasn't complaining.
Maybe he should be trying to slow things down, pull away and cool off; they were in the middle of the park, after all. But their clothes were still on, and while he'd wrapped his hands around Marie to hold her flush against him, they were still clearly on top of her clothes, he wasn't putting them anywhere inappropriate... The thought made him tighten his arms around her, though. Imagining touching her, skin to skin, being close to her in the most intimate way possible...
Somehow, that thought broke through his lust a little, and Steve managed to slow the kiss down, before pulling away reluctantly. Panting, he pressed his forehead to hers - unable to resist stealing a quick kiss or two while his mind sorted through his jumbled thoughts. He'd been processing all that she'd told him about her past, and her powers, in the back of his mind, and now certain things were starting to get questioned. Questions of logistics and specifics, more than anything.
"Wait, wait," he huffed. "I have... well, a question, that might kinda kill the mood, but..." He cleared his throat. "This is... I mean..." God, he couldn't think straight. He wanted to be delicate, but he couldn't really beat around the bush with his questions. "Your powers... You couldn't touch anyone, before, so, how did you... Have you ever, actually..."
There was something taboo-feeling about frankly discussing sex with her. If that was the case, he wasn't sure how he'd manage to have it, but for now, he'd have to muddle through the conversation. He'd like to hope for a minimum of blushing, but wasn't holding out much hope.
