[ She's right to make the assumptions that she does about him. He doesn't usually get his face touched by people. At least not like this where it's almost soft and affectionate. Almost, but he knows what this arrangement is. And even though this arrangement is about effectively generating Manna, there's no reason they can't thoroughly enjoy themselves. He aims to find things he likes to do with her, even if only because it makes future meetings (which he already anticipates) easier.
And he tilts his head, just a little, into the touch. It's a shift of approval for her. His way to let her know he likes it.
Finally, his hand he had settled under her jacket drifts, shifts away briefly. He places it loosely on her hip, still moved under her jacket. He doesn't grip her tight, but his fingers curl just slightly. Just as she had implied, he is implying holding her there, here. If she doesn't swat him away (he assumes she'd be honest if she disliked anything he was doing, it is of no benefit to either of them if she dislikes something and it hurts the Synchrony), he'll finally move his other hand to her other hip, settling in simply there, too.
But he'll finally pull from the kiss, take a moment. He doesn't say anything, just considers her for a moment. Taking in her facial expression, memorizing it, storing it if he should need it for future work. ]
