But there's a stupid moment, with his hand brushing her face and her eyes wide on him and her lips parted, that he nearly forgets himself, having the bizarre urge to press his lips to hers, see what she does.
He's tipsy, and it's been a long time since he was with anyone, and he likes flustering her. That's all this is.
Her joke shakes him out of it, and he visibly winces at her pun, even as he fights off a laugh. "You know what, yes, I do, and I drag my victims to my room so I can use its power on them."
