Her ears twitch in response to the touch, a shiver of pleasure going down her spine and she sighs contently. It feels nice to be pet like that, to have fingers through her hair that aren't yanking just to cause pain for pain's sake. There's a slight resistance as he nudges her back, but she gives in and looks at him with embarrassed, slightly watery eyes.

"Ah, it's... It's not that I don't like it, it's just... P-people don't say those things to me. I-I don't know what to do..." But the change in his tone catches her attention, holds it and she holds her breath a moment too as she stares at him.

Sometimes it's hard to keep eye contact with someone, there's something embarrassing about it, but she finds herself unable to look away from him. He is, she thinks, someone who's used to his commands and orders being met in one form or another and she can't even begin to imagine what might happen if she were to disobey. Not that she'd want to disobey anyhow, her tongue wetting her lips slowly before she nods.

"Y-yes. Okay. Only you." SHe can do that. She's good at focusing her care and attention on one person, good at taking and following direction-- likes being given the direction, rather than scattering her energies all over the place. Something eases inside of her and she breathes again, her fingers curling slightly into his clothes as she watches him with large, dark eyes.
