[ He can't know what internal fight Jesse is having, only that something is threatening to disturb her calm and her composure and doing its best to unsettle her. This isn't a moment for overthinking and overanalyzing; he just lets his thoughts take a backseat to his instincts and desires, choosing instead to just press a kiss against her lips in return.
They don't have to get too deep into intimacy, going all the way again, unless that's what she wants; if she just wants to kiss and feel each other that way, he's more than happy to oblige.
If this helps keep the horrors lurking around at bay, then he'll do what he has to, in order to keep both of them together and as safe as they can be from what lurks inside and outside. ]
