"Let me do it".
He gave his best attempt of a Cheshire grin at her while he ran his hand down her chest, letting the tips of his poorly trimmed nails catch along her skin, closing his fingers into a loose fist once he reached her naval.
Her body tensed up at these words, even though she knew they were coming. He wanted it the last two times it happened, and as with most of his appeals, she declined it so hesitantly that it was clear she would bend if enough pressure was applied. If she was honest with herself, in most areas of their relationship, his refusal to stop requesting from her that which she expressed disinterest in multiple times was annoying, perhaps even his biggest character flaw. But in the bedroom, she found the tenacity behind his ever-evolving desire to be intoxicating.
"I don't know. It's kind of gross."
"Nothing about you is gross."
Time paused as she looked into his eyes and considered what he was asking. Why was he so interested in doing this? Did he see this as a game? But then again, of all the actions and spoken words and penetrations that had taken place between their two naked bodies, why was this the thing that seemed too taboo to her?
She said nothing but her eyes told him she had finally relented. His face turned from a smile to a look of solemn concentration as he carefully directed his face downwards, guiding his tongue past her neck, past her half-erect nipples still radiating from the stress applied to them with his teeth earlier that morning, across her pale body bespattered with freckles, unto the curly thatch of hair that signaled the completion of his journey.
She was already swollen, sticky and warm between her legs from the attention her body had already been given. That didn't stop it from reacting with anticipation as he lightly worked himself against the edges of her labia. While he had prepared for it mentally, his first reaction was to repel; the sharp metallic taste invaded his mouth, as if he had bitten his own cheek. But he knew that the key was to always...always...embrace the strangeness, so he did not flinch and he did not back away. He gave her a series of measured kisses against her blooming desire, with a couple sharp bites at the folds in order to make the proceedings feel uneven.
