"Thanks," he murmurs with a smile, watching her. He doesn't move his hand directly there, taking the long way by tracing his fingertips along the inside of her underwear, down her hipbone, along the inside of her thigh, being tantalizingly close before he finally gets there.

When he does, he starts off gentle, wetting his fingers as he runs them between her labia, his palm against her clitoris, using his whole hand to rub against her. Soft at first, then firmer as he responds to her bucking hips.
