Her walls are already down now, everything that she felt the need to hide earlier that day long forgotten in favor of the moment that he has her in, and he does have her in it. Natasha has been through enough where she was thoroughly convinced that nobody would ever be able to instill anything new in her; she's felt everything, because with the life that she's lived in such a short amount of time, how couldn't she? He's already proven her wrong in that, instilling a pleasant little flutter in her that she's either never experienced or never allowed herself to, and it's... nice. Being around Jasper is nice. She doesn't think she's ever been able to feel like that around another person before.
He can feel the little spark of surprise in her when he grabs her hand, and she isn't certain what he's doing exactly until he lifts it to touch the side of his face again, and it brings a smile to her lips. But then he goes and turns his head, pressing a soft kiss against the palm of her hand, and Natasha swears she can feel the pleasant chill of it dancing up her arm. There's another sudden and unexpected wave of emotion, this time not from her own manipulation as it surprises her just as much as it probably surprises him. It's pure, and warm... something she's certain that she's never felt before, but it goes straight to her head and makes her pleasantly dizzy. Affection. A wave of affection for the man standing with her comes from nowhere, and instead of trying to hide it Natasha bathes in it, because it's easily one of the nicest things she's ever felt.
"I think so, too." She sounds slightly breathless, but her smile is bright and reflects everything that he gives her. She's proud of him, its strong and potent, and that mixes with the affection which mixes in with the arousal and...
Jasper makes her feel simply wonderful.
She blushes a little with she realizes it but she doesn't pull away like she's always had to when she felt like she was getting too close to someone. Instead she basks in it, resting her hand against his face and moving it to brush his long hair from his eyes so she can see them more clearly. Instead of keeping her hand still this time she traces it against his skin, fingertips running slowly down his jaw and back up to trace his cheekbone; testing, making sure that they're still both okay.
"Good." Her smile never fades, but it seems to brighten once more. "I'm glad we agree on something else, because I don't lose."
