Dakota pulled back just on the edge of breathless. He rested his forehead against Rogue's. "Please just bear with me," he murmured.

He kissed her again. More softly. When he pulled back again, he made sure his voice was as soft as he could make it and still be heard. "I love and need you. And I need you even more since you got grabby with my groin."

He grinned a little. Oh, she would be living up to those promises. He would make sure of it.
