Cole briefly wants to ask for a very detailed description of what Max was about to do, but he doesn't because that comment makes him laugh even as he's catching his breath. "I like you when you're carried away then," he admits because what he just experienced felt incredible. And he feels much better knowing that he didn't hurt Max in any way. He's protective as hell even to people he doesn't know, so with his sexual partners he would never want to make them uncomfortable let alone cause pain. He might look like a cocky asshole but he's never been that guy.

His nerves resurface slightly knowing that now it's his turn. That he's going to have to do things he never did before. He shushes those by leaning over for a soft kiss, tasting himself on Max's tongue. Using the movement of their mouths together to calm himself down. "Do you mind if I try?" he asks because he feels like he should in case there's something else Max had in mind for them next. But he wants to taste the other man intimately even if it's not how he brings him to orgasm. All Max has to do is tell him what he wants and Cole will try it.
