"I'll tell you if it hurts. It didn't hurt last night. I promise." He kissed Dorian's chin and jaw, light kisses up to his mouth. "I don't have sex with you just for pleasure. I do it because I like that connection. Intimacy? With you."

He drew back to look at Dorian, blinking at the kiss on his nose.
