"I am very, very satisfied, thank you," Marius agrees, smiling brightly as he turns to face Jake next to him. He savors the hand moving up and down his chest, letting out a long, soft sigh.

He leans into the kiss to his jaw and Jake nuzzling him there, letting his own hands wander to soothe down Jake's hair and neck, onto his back. His breathing still hitches occasionally, but he's also languid and entirely comfortable. He nuzzles against Jake's head himself, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.

"That's very kind of you," he says, grateful. He's more used to the rush and bustle of lovemaking, these days. To be able to take things slow like this is truly a pleasure, especially with someone as kind and as lovely as Jake.
