He grinned at her words. She was never one to speak much in response to his flirting so when she did it meant something to him. It made him feel wanted and desired His body pressed against hers when he felt her arms slide around his neck. His hands slid down her curves, his mouth went to her neck where he gently kissed a trail to her lips.

He truly worshiped her body and everything about her. She was his world. He wouldn't be anything without her love which kept him going. When the rest of the world drained him of everything he was, she brought him back.
The scared little girl he had tried to mentor as a tribute, who had been impossible to have come out of her shell in front of the Capitol to get sponsors, and even worse to comfort after the Games. However he had never given up on her and after the victory tour and returning to victor village, she was able to see that he was there for her even outside of being a mentor. That love for her truly did sneak up on him.

He kissed her deeply when he reached her mouth allowing himself to be pulled into the pillows with her. He pulled her close so that he would be just hovering over her. His hand that had slid down her side returned to her thigh, moving the dress's skirt aside to touch her soft skin.
