Edward wants to retort and find some other petty thing to be angry about, but Stede's voice alone makes him want to tremble, the way he stares at his lips, Edward thinks he can't hold back any longer, and then Stede is pressing close and their lips connect merely seconds later, and everything that Edward had been trying to hold back breaks loose from within him

Edward's hands then curl around him fully, tugging their bodies flush, a rather apparent interest in his groin present for Stede to notice. The flood gates have opened now, and Edward is all base instinct and need-- warning or not.
