It didn't go unnoticed that the only thing separating them was thin material and he certainly felt next to naked without his gloves and visor. It was strangely intimate, even if kissing was awkward, it wasn't something that turians did, but he couldn't say he wasn't willing to try.

He pulled her close, flush against him for a moment, a soft rumble coming through his chest, before pulling back to catch his breath. Part of him hoped he wasn't going to go into anaphylactic shock from this.

She was still close, his hands still on her, and part of him just wanted to kiss her again, despite knowing that part of him screamed that it was a really bad idea.
