Another, stronger shudder went through him when she gained more confidence in what she was doing, and the touch to the tip was unexpected, but oh so very welcome. It made him emit something embarrassingly close to a whimper, and to keep any other such noises from escaping, he ducked his head to kiss her deeply again. He didn't get to kiss her for long, however, because she turned her head to the side, and he had a second of panic when she mewled and said his name like that. Immediately, he eased himself away from her hand to gain the necessary brain power to assess the situation, but then he smiled as he realized that it hadn't been a sound of distress. Not by a long shot. Not with how she was arching against him, growing steadily wetter and more flushed. "Right here, babe. I'm not going anywhere." The second he felt her begin to tense around his fingers, he stilled his hand. There would be none of that. Not yet. He had a plan, and dammit, he was sticking to it!

Peppering her face with kisses, he very gently withdrew his fingers, surreptitiously wiping them on the sheet. "You'll get there, I promise. Just gonna move us a little for now." The kisses continued as he shifted on the bed to sit up against the headboard, coaxing her with him and onto his lap.
