Mutual masturbation doesn't work with Leander or Vere. Leander is too greedy to get his hands on you as soon as possible. He wants to be the one drawing moans and sighs from your kiss bruised lips. He wants to be responsible for making you writhe on the sheets. He wants to savor the taste of you and know he has rendered you into a limbless, drooling mess. It's one of his few joys in a world devastated by death and disease and soulless. Would you really deprive him of that?
Vere on the other hand settles against the veritable mountain of pillows he keeps at the head of his mattress, pinning you in place with that keen, hungry gaze. He tracks the slow drag of your hand as you smooth it over your chest and down your stomach, eyelids dipping low. He can appreciate a good tease, but you get to the actual masturbation part for only a minute before he's on top of you, knocking your hand aside and muttering about how you're doing it wrong.
There's no need to worry, though. Why are you looking at him with those big, scared eyes? (Already so frightened of earning his disapproval) There's no need to fear, he's just going to show you the right way. So sit back and let him make you feel good. Because you obviously couldn't have handled it yourself.
