"I will touch you in due time. By the time we're done, all you're going to remember is my touch," he said calmly, his voice soothing. When he gets started, he'll make sure Shannon get what he wants. A happy sub makes for a happy Dom and Eli knows that all too well. "You're mine and I take care of what's mine. Don't ever forget that."

He waits patiently for Shannon to remove one glove and then the other, letting him take his time and not urging him to hurry up. There's a soft smile as Shannon kissed his fingers and he moved his hand down only a little bit to grasp his chin to push it up and expose his neck. Then he leaned down and kissed his neck gently while he ran the nails of one hand down Shannon's chest, scratching lightly enough to not mark him.
