I closed my eyes and forced myself to relax as much as I could. Waiting how he would continue, at least he didn't seem to want to immediately want to... force me.
"Hey," I twitched back when he said it.
Apparently, I was not relaxed at all.
So I opened my eyes and looked at him, acknowledging that he spoke.
"You... are in more distress than I expected," he said, slightly frowning.
"See, it's not every day a guy forces himself on my and I have to hold still," I hissed. Because what the hell.
"... that isn't what you offered either," he nodded and frowned, "You are right... you offered to seduce me... well... please do!"
And took his hands off me completely, relaxing backwards.
So I stared at him with a frown. Didn't... didn't he just put me here because he decided that wouldn't work?
"... I don't even get your shirt open," I say, because it's the truth.
"Oh. Well, it's not easy, I give you that," and he reached into his collar and did... something... and it slid apart, "You have to know the trick," he said with a wink.
I stared at it, somewhat puzzled because it did part. And I should have felt the edge of the fabric. But I didn't, and-
"Being stared at like that is very flattering," my head snapped back to his face, "... it would be more flattering if it wouldn't be just my shirt, though"
He... was back to smiling. And kept his hands to himself. Well. Alright. For now. So I looked... between the parted fabric. Alright. I could do that.
"I listen well, by the way... I will try my best to help," to which I rolled my eyes.
And then I... reached out to touch. His chest, in this case.
That... didn't feel as bad. He was breathing and I could feel that. And I felt his heartbeat. strong and... slow.
I felt almost a little insulted. Because mine was racing. Not in a good way. But mine was racing and not strong, but fluttery. It was not nice.
My hand stayed here for a while and I stared at the raising and falling chest. He was warm, the warmth seeping through my cold fingertips.
Huh. He hadn't twitched away, there. I looked up and saw he tried to look me in the eyes. Mh.
I looked down again.
His skin colour was a little darker than mine. And that was under his shirt. Huh.
Well. As far as I could tell from the bad lighting.
His nipples are... even darker. Well. Of course.
I flicked over it and he... inhaled.
When I looked up, he half-shrugged: "I'm sensitive, it's usually hidden under impenetrable shirts"
At which point I thought he might just be irritating on purpose.
I moved my hand upwards, brushed over he collar bone. There was a kink in it. Broken. Not immediately set. I rubbed at it.
He whined a little, and made a face when I checked.
The thought of irritating him back did occur to me. Then I remembered the situation I was in.
And moved up to his throat. He had kissed me there. So I could touch. I moved my thumb along the side of his Adam's apple, saw and felt him swallow.
There actually was a bit more tension in his body than before.
My hand went back to his heart, laid it flat on his chest, lightly. The pulse was faster. Not much, but faster. And I looked up: "You didn't like that. You didn't say something"
"... you didn't like me touching you either," he said, and relaxed more. Now tat I looked for it, his whole body became softer.
"Yeah, well, you knew that from the beginning," I was against it from the beginning.
And he laughed (a different tension). And shrugged, then (skin moved, muscles, too, pulled in different directions): "Never mind, you are right"
Another reason to frown, but I moved upwards again and did him the kindness to avoid his throat, trailed my fingers more on the side of his nape, and he leaned sideways, exposing more skin. A little sigh escaped him.
There was a little tension when I brushed behind his jaw and when I touched his temple.
A pleased hum when I ran a hand through his hair.
He seemed to relax even more. There was a relaxed smile on his face.
No malicious one. So that was... that was a bit better.
Then I moved downwards again. Along his chest, and further down and... ah... well, admittedly, these abs were actually a nice sight. But I trained my core as well, and... one thing I never get rid of, so...
I trailed feather light touches over his stomach area and... he twitched.
He did so again when I brushed over this particular place again.
And, the irritating thing about it is: The abdominal reflex gets worse the more often you do it, until it reaches a point where the muscles harden and it actually hurts. So I did it a few more times and...
"Mnnnnnrrgh," it sounded like a terribly put-upon whine.
"Nice abs you got there," because they really were all hardened and pronounced now.
"Pleaaase leave your hand there now," because I had put them there. For extra annoyance. "The warmth is nice"
And I chuckled a tiny bit. And watched his chest heave a little more slowly. Even breaths. He wriggled a bit under me, moving his abdomen to get rid of the residual tension. I knew that Ā feeling.
"Mmmmh... you have nice hands," he said, looking up at me. He moved his hand, away from the couch, closer to me: "Small, though"
The hand has there, palm up, spread out, "Lets compare?," he smirked.
And I rolled my eyes and put the matching hand onto his.
My hand really was smaller. There was a lot of heat radiating from his. From his whole body, really.
I had a feeling I was a little hyper focused. Nerves, probably.
Of course nerves, there were more than enough reasons to be unnerved.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
When I opened them again, he was still laying there, not having moved, his hand against mine.
I huffed: "Well, you are taller than me"
He shrugged again (felt it under my legs and hand, everything connected) and smiled: "Can I touch, too? I'm told my hands are nice as well"
And I snatched his hand and put my thumb to his pulse.
A little faster than before. And he looked at me with a tilted head.
I took another breath and then nodded, placing his hand on my hip. My jeans-clad hip.
He pursed his lips a little, but then shrugged with a chuckle: "Alright, then"
He put his hand on top of my blouse and rubbed - through the blouse just above the hem of the jeans.
And moved upwards, then, over my sides. And then sat up slightly, brought us closer together, gave him a better reach, I guessed.
And I kept still. hand still on his stomach, other hand hesitating in the air and sitting... sitting on the middle of his thighs.
It was not the worst.
At least his hands didn't feel like burning. Anymore. And we were not as close together as before.
His hands moved to my back. And... it was alright. The warmth spreading there, slowly rubbing over my side and then shoulder blades.
Then he got his hands out from under my arms (with a somewhat comically baffled expression on his face) to reach my shoulders, rub over them, move his thumbs under the collar, then his fingers, and then I felt his thumbs on my collarbones. Very carefully brushing over it. That was naked skin.
Skin usually visible, certainly, but skin. And he watched me.
His smile became wider at one point, but he left the place, went further up and fingers went over my nape and scraped over my scalp. That made me shudder. Slightly. It wasn't... it wasn't terrible, though. Not entirely.
His fingers traced my face, cheeks, nose, eyebrows.
And then he sat up properly. And looked me in the eyes.
A thumb traced my lower lip. And I frowned, moving backwards, but-
I knew what happened, and... well. I still pressed my lips into a thin line when he kissed me, leaning forward, frown etched into my forehead.
He kissed my lips once, twice, then licked my lower lip and nipped at it.
...
It itched, alright? So I licked over it and he tried to kiss me again and... maybe it didn't feel terrible.
He still had stubble. Slight stubble. And it was still scratchy.
But maybe it was distracting. Closing my eyes and moving my lips against his. Licking my lips had made them slick and...
An he hummed. He hummed while kissing me. I felt it more than I heard it.
And maybe I had moved my hesitating hand to his shoulder to draw him closer. Just tugging. A bit.
Maybe he licked at my lips a few times. Between them. And maybe the moment I opened them had been the moment he snug an arm around my waist and a hand into my hair. And it hadn't been bad at all. A hand tracing along my spine and firm muscles under my fingers. Not that bad at all.
I noticed how not-bad it had been when e moved back and I followed, for half a second. Then I twitched backwards.
And he let me, the embrace loosening. He looked me in the eyes - and they were a little darker now - and said: "You will tell me when it's to much," and frowned.
And I frowned a lot deeper and simply stared. Because the situation still was the same, even if... even if I might have stopped trembling.
"You promise."
And even if I still thought this was stupid, since I still didn't want this, I shrugged: "... sure"
Then he nodded and leaned forward again. And maybe I was a little ashamed when I answered his kiss, but... relaxing, right?
