Steve wants to make a joke about sexual acrobatics but his mouth is dry and all he can do is obey, using his body as leverage to flip them and press Peggy down into the mattress. He's careful to keep from leaning his full weight against her but, even still, he hooks one hand behind her left knee to lift her leg and slides into her slowly. He kisses her, too, just as slow and careful as he enters her and Steve thinks he could do this forever. He loves to kiss her, loves being with her and in her and he never wants to be away from her.

He loves Peggy Carter. He's loved her ever since he saw her put a cadet in his place on a muddy training field years ago.
