Being called a 'Big boy,' Alvin just wanted to tease her. He was expecting her to pull away and run back to her room, or bring her hands between their lips and widen her moonlike eyes, or do something to stop him.
The one who flipped him at just the touch of his hands to the one who hugged him on her will, she had come a long way. Although he had kissed her to prove he wasn't kidding with the marriage topic, he was willing to have patience and take one step at a time.
He didn't want her for just a day or two, for his whole life, so he was ready to wait indefinitely. Does just waiting work? No, so he will make her slowly get used to being around him. He knew the biggest advantage he had was her trust in him.
However, the brain and body are treacherous and greedy when it's attracted to that one person. The closer he went, the more he desired. He wanted her to stop him but her reaction was just the opposite, making him greedier for more.
