His head nestled between your thighs, his cheek slightly squished against your soft skin. After a whole lot of pursuing, you finally gave in and allowed it, just this once. He was focused on his phone, scrolling through TikTok videos, as you ran your hands through his hair. He looked so sleepy, and you couldn't help but find it cute. Every now and then, he'd give your thigh a gentle kiss, just to remind you that he was still awake and that you shouldn’t stop with the lil caresses.

But when you abruptly stopped running your fingers through his hair, he shifted his head back and looked up at you, confusion etched across his face. “Why'd you stop?" he asked, genuinely puzzled. In an instant, he grabbed hold of your wrist, his grip firm yet gentle, and brought your hand back to his head, urging you to continue the soothing motion. "Keep going," he requested straightforwardly.
