The girl sort of groaned to him in complaint when he pulled away, the girl kissing him back happily for a moment or two before giving a small sigh and a bit of a nod. She frowned to him in an almost questioning way before nodding again and sort of going to slip her hands softly around his sides, kind of hooking her hands over his shoulders after a moment or two. "Okay?" She asked quietly after a moment or two. She knew he said it was okay... but she was just being careful, she supposed. She didn't want him to be uncomfortable at all.

He sort of chuckled softly at her groan and then nodded in response to her next comment, leaning into her touch slightly and moving to peck her lips. "If I don't like something I'll tell you," he promised. "You're my wife. I don't care if you grab me," he pointed out with a chuckle, kissing her again. He did appreciate the fact that she was using so much self control...being so thoughtful about it all. But he didn't eat this to be any different than normal. He just wanted her to love him. To be the last one to touch him, not a bunch of strangers.

Mari let a little smile cross her face after a moment or two, pecking his lips softly after a moment or two. "I know," she murmured softly, her smiled growing a little. "Just make sure to tell me, please?" She just didn't him to feel like he was stuck... like he had to do anything, or couldn't get away. She was still careful not to pull him in too much, but closed her hands around his shoulders regardless. "I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, is all," she chuckled softly before going to slip him another soft kiss to the lips.

Sage hummed lightly in response to her peck and comment. "I will," he promised softly. He sort of just relaxed into her after a moment, nodding in response to her other comment. "I'll be alright," he hummed. "I want it to be normal," he admitted. Hopefully, she'd understand that....but then she'd kissed him again and he was more than happy to continue the way they'd been going. He'd turn it around in a bit, but for now, with the drink going through him and everything that had happened, he was content enough to stay where he was at.

Mari smiled gently to him after a moment before going to press another light kiss to his lips again. "We can do that," she murmured gently to him. Of course, she didn't think it could be completely normal. But she could try, for sure. She was still a bit worried, but she did trust him to stop if he got uncomfortable. Plus, he was in a positron now where it was hard for her to do too much... but she didn't see me to mind, really. She smiled into his next few kisses, her hands wrapping tightly around his back after a moment or two.

Sage nodded happily when she promised she'd at least try to make it as normal as possible. He did appreciate it, really. He kissed her back happily, just glad to have someone like her to hold and support him. If he didn't have such a good system set up here, with his family, he doubted he'd be very well off. He pushed the thought to the side though, wanting to focus on the time he had with Mari. After a bit, though, things had started to move quicker....his shirt had been tossed somewhere, and they'd pulled apart briefly to catch their breath. He decided to flip them over then, nestling under her happily, alibet breathlessly. He was smiling though, and he was enjoying himself so far.

Mari smiled softly to him after a moment or two, desperately trying to uphold her promise of making this was as normal as it could be. She hummed and carefully went back to what they were doing... and it didn't take long for them to get back to their normal pace. Before she knew it, though, she was perched on top of him, and after a while of being a little shell shocked moved to press a few softer kisses to his lips, kind of moving to put a bit more weight on him when she felt it was right.

Sage sort of just hummed happily when Mari moved to kiss him again pretty much right away, glad she didn't think too much of it. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, noting the weight that she gradually increased and pressing up against her slightly more. He had said he wanted it as normal as possible....and this was normal. It was nice to know that she wasn't acting any different towards him now too...things were going rather well, he thought, even if it was a bit slow. That was fine though...they had all day. They could stand to enjoy it a bit.

Mari smiled gently to him after a while, kind of keeping her kisses softt until eventually going to press a deeper kiss to his lips, then moving over to run her lips lightly down his neck. She was careful to avoid his bruises, but did what she could before eventually moving to unlace the back of her dress, letting it sag a little before pulling his over her head in a slower fashion before dropping it off the side of her bed carefully. She sort of slowly went to press herself down against his skin carefully, careful to keep eye contact with him until eventually going to press her lips to his skin again.

Sage let out a light hum when she pressed her kisses a bit deeper and then moved on to his neck. He did notice how she'd carefully avoided the bruises that still lingered, and he had to admit he was sort of thankful about it. He wasn't sure of her reasoning of skipping over them, but he supposed he didn't care all that much. He found himself getting a bit antsy when she took so long to get the dress off, which he hadn't fully expected but wasn't all that surprised about, either. So, when he moved back into him and pressed her lips to his skin again, he'd just tugged her closer into him, moving to stretch out a bit like he normally did.
