[ He doesn't move away from her touch, the way she brushes his cheek. Just keeps watching her carefully, not quite warily but she's clearly planned this out or something and he doesn't appreciate being mislead like this. He puts up some resistance when she pushes him back down, but he has neither truly the will nor the leverage to put a whole lot into it, and he quickly winds up sinking back into the mattress with the press of her hand.
And then she's talking, and his face darkens a little more than just the narrowed eyes, because he doesn't appreciate the misdirection, even if he instantly knows why it was necessary. And he doesn't send her the safeword through the link, even though he would clearly like her to stop. This isn't what he wanted. Like, ever. He doesn't want her knowing about this inadequacy, doesn't want her thinking it's her fault or something that she needs to fix, because as far as he's concerned this is his own issue, his own thing to have to deal with. And he was dealing with it just fine. Considering that they have a link up already for the communication, he's trying to keep most of this to himself but if she has her end of the connection as open and responsive as she likely does, to catch his sending her a safeword, she's likely getting glimpses here and there. ]
