Her voice sounded like the singing of the Spirits as she held out her hand towards him in invitation. He almost lost his mind with joy right then and there, but he managed to keep his head on his shoulders and remembered the research he had done these past few days. Taking a deep breath he took her hand and turned it palm down before raising it to his mouth plates.
"I would be honored to," he said, planting a plated kiss on the back of her hand as he looked into her eyes. He watched her gasp and blush with an adorable smile on her beautiful face.

She smelled so incredible, like thousands of tiny blossoms in the galaxy's most beautiful garden, and he let her scent wash over him. He nuzzled into her hair, closing his eyes and was just happy to finally be able to hold her, his mandibles tangled in the strands. Now, in this moment that seemed to stretch into eternity, he felt complete!
