Ric breathed through the adrenaline rush and fear, as well as the wave of arousal that swelled in response to Elijah's whimper and the light drag of his fingers over his skin. Shallow, through his mouth, a little deliberate and accompanied by him swallowing against the dryness in his throat. Something flared in his eyes, heated with both desire and... irritation, honestly.
"Did someone imply there was something I didn't want?" It came out a little rough, a little breathless, and with an attempt at levity, but. Nope, this was Ric. He didn't want his fear acknowledged, didn't know how to do less than meet something like that head on, and not back down. He didn't even really know how to let himself be gentled or reassured.
He was, both, but - He shook his head. "I'm fine, Elijah, but us being in the same position might go a little better if that position's not standing up."
