Rogue's pulse was racing as Steve kissed her hand, and her heart was beating so loudly she was sure it was echoing in that small hall. She couldn't quite believe they were doing this, that she had found someone so sweet and genuinely kind who wanted to be with her despite how broken she was. It was a thought that had her even more nervous because of what Steve would soon see, what he would learn about what had been done to her.

Those thoughts were chased away by that amazing kiss. She clutched at him for a few moments before her hands started moving of their own accord, reaching up to slide his overshirt off deliciously broad shoulders.

He was definitely not the only one eager to get things started.
