"The guy who dragged me into his bed," he teased, tipping his head back against the pillows so that Adam could keep nuzzling his throat. "The one who's fixated with my deflect rune."

Alec wasn't sure of all the rules related to sex, but he had assumed that cuddling happened after they both had come. Adam seemed content to be held, but Alec couldn't stop himself from feeling guilty that after Adam had made him feel amazing he wasn't trying to do the same for his boyfriend. Maybe Adam was nervous about letting someone touch him so intimately? Maybe he was too shy to ask Alec to do anything more than hold or kiss him?

Sliding a hand between them, he lightly ran his fingers along Adam's hip, barely touching, waiting to see if Adam would ask him to stop. "Is this okay?" No matter how shy Adam might be, he trusted him to tell him if he was going to cross a line.
