I'm sorry I'm slow. He brushes my hair over my shoulder. You're not slow. I raise an eyebrow. I'm serious. When he sees I'm unconvinced, he rubs at his stubble and starts again. I don't want you to give any more than you want. What makes this special is that you're into it. The moment you aren't, that's where I become a bastard for asking for more. I'm telling you, I've got no problem taking it slow.
In the book "Crash into You" by Katie McGarry, a character reassures another that it's perfectly fine to take things slowly. He emphasizes that the key to their connection is not the pace but rather the enthusiasm and willingness to engage. His gentle touch and words convey a deeper understanding that relationships thrive on genuine interest rather than speed.
This exchange underlines a significant theme of consent and comfort in relationships. By stating he has no issue with a slower pace, he expresses respect for the other person's feelings, highlighting the importance of mutual desire in any romantic interaction. This mindful approach emphasizes that intimacy should unfold naturally, aligning with both partners' comfort levels.
