Those are such beautiful sounds, such beautiful words, and Marcus only wants to do everything he can to turn Dan completely incoherent. His experience may be limited to Darrow, but Marcus likes to think he's made the best of the past several years in terms of catching up and he's come to the conclusion that confidence and desire count for more than technique.

So there's no hesitation in him when he kisses his way down Dan's throat, slowing the rhythm of his hand just slightly. Nothing but affection and deep arousal in him as he presses his mouth to the top of Dan's collarbone, then the peak of his nipple, saving a full investigation of how he might like that for later. His hand moves slowly, but his mouth picks up the pace, kissing a line down the centre Dan's torso.

He flicks his gaze up briefly when he reaches Dan's hip, a question more than anything. It's all up to Dan, up to whatever pace he likes. Marcus waits, his lips brushing Dan's hip again, looking up at him with a small smile.
