Like this, Ravi was intoxicating to Matt. The gentle mix of the man's aftershave mixed with a touch of healthy sweat and natural pheromones were enough to drive anyone wild. Let alone someone with a super sense of smell as Matt kissed at Ravi's skin between his shoulder and neck. Hands on his face brought him to Ravi's lips as they continued making out, breath hot between them and growing with more desperation for one another.
This was clearly progressing to the bedroom, and that sudden realization gave Matt an intense spike of anxiety when he felt Ravi's hands on his dress shirt buttons, undoing a few of them. Matt didn't mean to, but he stepped back a bit, hand splaying over top the opening in his shirt. "I -- I..." Dammit, Matt, you're going to give him the wrong message. It was ironic that Matt felt more naked because his glasses were off, a very intimate thing for him with being uncomfortable with most people seeing his eyes. Yet he was very comfortable with the rest of his body. It was just that it was his body that usually gave new partners a cause to pause. He supposed that did kind of make him self-conscious about his body, more than he thought.
Matt's hearing tuned in to the sounds around him, trying to tell how many lights Ravi had on here in his living room and how many would be on in the bedroom. If it were dim enough maybe Ravi wouldn't freak out too much. Then again just being honest, or at least partially, might prepare the man better. Matt let out a breath and dropped his hands. "Sorry -- I don't want you getting the wrong idea. I want this. I really really want this. You. Us. But I--don't --" Stop it Matt. You look like a flustered virgin. Ravi was going to think that if Matt couldn't just spit it out. "Sorry I kinda panicked. I just have a lot of scarring from my -- accident. It tends to surprise people. " God he was bad at lying sometimes. Would have been better to at least say accidents based on how different stages of healing his scars were, making them clearly not from the same incident if anyone took the time to really look over his body. @serpcntes
