She isn't doing much thinking. The only thought driving her is to take as much as she can get and still find a way for more. A more rational thought pushes through the chaos to remind her that very few humans can go without oxygen as long as she can. She stops herself from going in for more and takes the moment to breathe with him.
It's not nearly ragged, highlighting for a fraction of a second that he is just a little more human than her. It's short-lived since something cracks in her chest at his pledge, eyes softening as she looks up at him. The part of her that is human doesn't want to see him suffer needlessly. Foolishly, she thinks, Elektra believes him.
When they come together again, it's more careful on her part. Elektra's eyes flutter shut, letting the hand on the back of his head trail down to his shoulder. She matches his pace this time, exploring his mouth carefully with her tongue as she lets herself be present in the moment. It makes her heart race for a different reason. What they're doing is more terrifying than facing down the Beast or HYDRA. It feels right just like her father once told her it would. She embraces the fear rather than run from it.
