It wasn't much of a surprise that Shannon was hesitating. Eli still remembered that outside of dating him, he was still straight and had only those sexual experiences to work with. He wasn't going to berate him for doing badly, but instead help him through it so that he didn't end up hurting either of them. His hand went into Shannon's hair and he petted it gently as he watched him, his breath becoming a touch erratic while Shannon was trying to figure out what to do.

"Don't worry about trying to do too much," he said gently. He wanted Shannon to know that he wouldn't get upset with him by doing anything that would be considered the wrong thing to do when it came to blowjobs. "Relax and just explore. When it gets too much, pull away and then I'll see about rewarding you."
