She wasn't pushing him but was leading him in to offer him something more, allowing him the room to speak. Even though his tail lashed back and forth, the strained cougar tried to hold it back and down, grunting thickly in the back of his throat.
"Tell me, Mark."
Oh, that command... That was what changed it for him. That had him straightening his back ever so slightly, his breath hitching and catching.
It was everything he needed. For, if Mercy was in control, that meant that everything was okay. She'd never do anything bad to him and he could trust her, for it was that very trust that resided at the core of everything.
It was something that he had not paid due attention to before, though he knew how important it was, even as he focused on how good her small chest felt against his back, the warmth of her seeping through.
Oh...
Was it... He struggled mentally, though the reassuring squeeze of Mercy's arms around him let him know that everything was okay. He didn't have to worry, even if his heart was pounding, even if his hackles were trying to rise, the fur all over his body prickling up and trying to stand on end. Even Mark's tail was a little fluffier than it had been before.
"I..."
"Tell me, Mark."
"I want..." Oh, it was so hard for him to get the words out. "I want... It's...exciting to think...of it...of you..."
He couldn't get the words out, though he hoped that it would be enough. Or did he not want it to be enough? Something was changing, something was shifting, something that they could never go back from. It felt like it was spiralling out of his control and into Mercy's all at once, though he was glad too, in a way, that it was not the case that nobody was in control.
Especially for the cougar, he needed somebody to be in control.
"That's okay, brother," she said, her lips very close to his ear. "You're okay... I want this too."
They didn't say it explicitly, though he caught himself letting out a breath, eyes half-closed even though his body had become electrified. He thrummed with desire, his hard-on pulsating softly, though it did not yet feel as if it was fully hard quite yet. That wasn't the most important thing, however, even as it was an outward demonstration of his enjoyment of the moment, how it throbbed and pulsed lightly, a smear of pre-cum cooling right at the tip.
For a moment, they were quiet, sexual tension charged and crackling in the air while the din of rain on the roof of the van filled the space around them. Yet it was not enough to cover the desire building, strung out between them like a cord that was just waiting to be snapped -- yet the moment in which it snapped would leave them with one another, facing the lust in the room that had been swelling without either of them acknowledging what lay there.
Mercy growled faintly and a shock ran down his spine, straightening swiftly against her.
"Okay," she said quietly, though her tail swept wantonly back and forth through the bed, stirring up the sheets, betraying her excitement still. "Then... Your safe word will only be safe word. If you want anything to stop, at any point, you will use the safe word. What is your safe word?"
He blinked, not sure what she wanted for a moment. Hadn't she already said it?
"My safe word...is safe word?"
Why did that make him tingle all over?
"Good boy," she said, her voice dropping into the hint of a purr. "Now... When do you use your safe word?"
Ah, now he understood. She was making sure that there was a clear stop for both of them, once again looking after him and proving herself to be someone that he could trust. After everything that he had gone through before, he had to run through that in his mind, making it clear to himself while Mercy did exactly the same.
"I use my safe word whenever or if things are going too far, if I want to stop at any point."
"Or even if you want to slow down or say something," she stressed. "Anything at all. And now..."
She moved over him, kicking the sheets aside, for they would not be needed as passion was allowed to roar between them. He caught his breath, but she was on top of him in but a moment as her paws slid over his shoulders, lightly pinning him in place. Even though Mark would have been able to wriggle free from her at that point...
