Colour Simon surprised. He looked back over his shoulder at the still blush-glowing kid at the other end of his arm and tried to understand what was happening here. Nothing at all that Peter said seemed to be in a language he understood at first because his mind was on protect Peter mode. This didn't seem like the best place to do that right now.

"I... What? Pete, no. We can go back to my place and we can talk. We should have just talked anyway. I don't know what I was thinking. This is too much for you."

In the hall, Mitch's deep voice boomed that they were about to start the demo. But Simon didn't look up.

"I don't want to force this on you." Force and control had to be accepted first. He didn't just want to subjugate Peter. He wasn't that sadistic.
