"I have faith in you for that. You're good at the fast talking when you put your mind to it." He wasn't sure that he hadn't been on the receiving end of a few fast ones from her and her friends. It wasn't something he had any intention of pressing her about now.

"Ahh, kind to be cruel. I see how you are." He chuckled. "I'll have to try to find other ways to steel myself to your wiles." He wasn't terribly optimistic of his chances given how long he had battled this blushing problem.

He pressed a few light kisses to the top of her shoulder, following the slight slope from her neck out. "I may have noticed," he teased. "A little." His hands caressed along her side and the hip not pressed against him. "I like the way you let go." His voice dropped softer, losing the teasing timbre. "A little at a time." It was something he felt he could relate to well.
