The trust is key, and Ivan knows the sessions leading up to this were to help get them to this place, will help them move from this to more intense and -- knowing David -- difficult things. But even the satisfaction of a job well done doesn't completely explain the warm feeling curling in his chest. It's not important, really, so Ivan ignores it. But he isn't going to stop until he's gotten the other man off, or he tells him to, picking up on the unspoken plead in his voice.

"Good," he says, with a smile. "That's good, you should." He'd be doing it wrong if he wasn't. Ivan has to readjust, bringing himself closer to Duv and keeping his eyes locked on the other man. "You'll be able to learn what makes you feel good with enough practice. This will be a good start." He picks up speed -- not fast, but faster, offset by his own deep breaths.
