"I was only thinking you'd stay as long as it took me to fall asleep," he explained as his eyes drifted shut and his voice dropped lower. It must be deliberate this seduction. Why else would Essek do this to him? "I would like to fall asleep with you in my arms but I understand our needs are different. I don't want you uncomfortable."

The humming did not bother him. He might even find it soothing to have nearby. It would reassure him that Essek was near and he was not alone.

"It is one of those things we will have to figure out together." He blinked his eyes open trying to focus when Essek was so thoroughly undoing him. He was soothed by the touch but also ached for more.

Essek was a natural or simply knew him well enough to make him melt so easily.
