"Anything you want," Marcus says softly, pressing in for another kiss. "Or don't want. I meant what I'd said. We have time."

And if Dan isn't ready, he understands. It's one thing to let a man take over things a woman could do probably just as well, but it's something else entirely to start touching things he never has before. Marcus doesn't mind waiting if Dan wants to.

He also doesn't mind helping Dan explore and learn if he doesn't want to. For now, he just kisses Dan again, sliding his open palm over the length of his body and pressing close.
