[That question is going to be rhetorical, given the current state of things. And much like the slow rake of fingertips scrubbing through his curls, Astarion imagines it’s done for Emet-Selch’s own dignity, rather than any earnest urging.
Whatever the man needs to inch himself closer to the idea of letting go.
The rise of those hips, for example. Not an intrusion or a nuisance, only a welcome show of appreciation for the welling rise of sensation. For the press of Astarion’s lips and the slicker drag of his tongue leading down into his throat. Some partners prefer obedient conquests; Astarion’s no stranger to the notion, having filled both roles on demand many, many times before—
But given a choice, no. He’d rather indulge than suppress any day.
And to that end, as his shoulders roll and his mouth works in consumptive tangent, he slips one hand lower to work at himself, turning his sparser exhales into shuddering things. Vulgar things, crimson eyes slipping shut for a time.
When he breaks away at last, panting light through his teeth, flush written across his face, he lifts his spare had to arch a few delicate fingers towards the sill just behind Emet-Selch.]
[Astarion's eyes slide closed, but Emet-Selch's remain open-- half-lidded still, but focused, lip caught momentarily between his teeth as he continues to watch. Skill alone is one thing, but it's the combination of it with his clear indulgence in doing so that speeds the former Ascian's pulse, ensures his attention stays fixed upon him. Whether just a show or not, it's equally affecting as the efforts of his talented mouth and tongue, and there's a matching flush dusting Emet's cheeks when Astarion looks back up again.]
-well, if you cannot rouse yourself to do so, I suppose I must.
[His voice comes low, still, breathy, as he props himself up on one arm to reach behind himself with the other. After a moment, his fingers find purchase on a phial and draw it forward, easily offering it out.]

One of those phials. Pass them to me.
