[he traces his thumb across his hairline, slipping his other hand free to rest on his thigh.]

I wish that weren't true. I wish you'd had the chance to be seen by others, not merely projected upon. But, I would be lying if I said I wasn't honored to be the first.

What a thrill that will be. [taps his fingers against his thigh] Although I hope we'll keep a few things just between us...

Hmmm... The way you plead for me to touch you. The noises you make when I finally do. The way you look, riding my hand... [he tilts his head in a grin, squeezing the flesh under his hand.] Just to name a few.

Good. Because I am an insanely jealous sort of man.

[joking, but also not]

But I will say, I hope that smile of yours is able to be freely shared one day. No harm in them seeing how cute happiness makes you.

[he laughs gently.]

No, my dear. It just isn't the same.
