And kissing his lips while he is giggling that much might not work very well but he can be kissed everywhere else.

Is he going to try the back of the neck?

He will try this! Elves usually have too much hair in the way.

Kib does not have too much hair in the way. Also that was not a giggle that was a gasp.

Oh good. He can keep doing that.

And Kib can unceremoniously melt on him making vague pleased noises.

What a lovely outcome. He positions them better for neck-kissing and then he neck-kisses some more because those are excellent vague pleased noises.

They are excellent vague pleased noises generated by excellent neck-kisses! What a lovely feedback loop. Snuggle. Melt. Moan.

Can I take the rest of our clothes off?

...a fabric store is a weird place to hook up but you're the expert on where to go for privacy, Kib says. Sure.

Asking you back to my rooms this soon seemed presumptuous. I will - show you how to move about the palace quietly, next time we're back there.

Okay.

They are not wearing any clothes. It occurred to me, Findekáno says, that your people don't have children and there was no reason to think you were arranged the same at all. But you are very very attractive and so I decided I didn't really care.

Similar thought process here but no surprises so far apart from the abdominal scar.

I would like you in my lap so I can kiss your neck and jerk you off.

Gosh. Directness. Now he has a Kib in his lap.

But can he get a vague incoherent happy-noises Kip in his lap with more neck nibbling?

Oh yes.

Then this will be very satisfactory.

Excellent. Best fabric store hookup. Kind of awkward to have you in my lap since you're so tall but I would be delighted to figure out alternative reciprocal arrangements.

You can stay in my lap, just turn around and look at me.

Sounds like a plan. Well, telepathies like a plan.

And kiss me.

"I don't care to rebraid my hair just yet," he says afterwards, "I think I'd do it sloppily. Shall we stay here and cuddle?"
