When Shannon moved his hand, Eli reached up and hooked a finger on the restraint's d ring, giving only a slight tug to let him know he had grabbed onto it. As a Dom, he knew that he had to be there for his sub to rely on and be stable enough for him to actually rely on him in the first place. Eli was definitely trying to be stable enough for Shannon and was hoping that truly was the case.

"I know you have trouble with that since you're so warm." When he said that, he moved his face so that he could nuzzle Shannon's neck and keep his head there as if to warm himself up with his body. "If I was cold, I would definitely let you know. I don't like it and complain a lot whenever I am." Which was true and anyone who knew Eli would know how much he whined whenever the temperature dropped into the forties and below.
