[It's almost strange, hearing her calling him James, because not many people do, but somehow, he finds that he doesn't mind it all that much. He'd thought it would be odd, maybe a little disquieting, but it's not -- his name sounds good coming out of her mouth, especially whimpered in that way. Of course, of course the fleeting anxiety on her face makes him a little worried, afraid that he's doing something wrong, somehow, or inadvertently hurting her; he's trying his best to be gentle, but maybe he isn't gentle enough.
And then she's asking that strange question, asking him if he's all right, which seems like what he should be asking her, especially now. It makes him smile, though, even as he leans in to kiss her again, once more, almost as a reassurance.]
Of course I'm okay. Better than okay.
[If there's any doubt of that, it should be erased by his tone, which is at once tight with excitement and soft with something very likely reverence. Of course, he is holding back, just a little, but it doesn't bother him, doesn't make the feelings of his slow movements any less pleasurable, doesn't make him want to cup her cheek any less, or run his fingers over her hip any less.]
You okay?
[He may be able to speak a little better than her, but the question still trails off into a low groan at the end.]
