[Ajax laughs as she pushes his face away, letting out a soft chuckle once Lumine's palm smushes his cheek and he finds himself just a few more inches further away than he had been a second ago. But he keeps his arm around her middle, thankful for the closeness between them both.

Because whew, she was not helping to quell the urge to pour affection all over her with the way she's acting. He's sure there's a word for the way Lumine is acting right now, but he doesn't know what it is. Only that it amuses him to no end, and his eye catches the corner of her own when she glances back at him.]

Okay, I get it. You want a little bit of fairness here- and I'd be more than happy to oblige.

[Ajax doesn't waste the moment, stepping out while still keeping her in his arm, so now it would be near impossible for Lumine to hide her face due to how he's mostly standing in front of her now, reaching to cup her cheek with his free hand. He gazes down at her for only a moment, endearment written all over his features before leaning in to capture her in a kiss, soft yet full. Ajax lets his lips sweep and caress her own, taking several moments to deliver a warm and loving exchange, hoping to enchant her and get that bashful lady of a few seconds ago to open up and invite him in just as she had back at the reception. Kissing her feels like heaven, and any anxiety and worry he might of still been holding on to dissipates like a vapor into the air.]

Mmmmmmm...

[He hums happily into their kiss, not breaking from her until his head is light and his breath is completely taken away.]

I really could get used to this...
