And they're not... very good reasons. One even he knows is kind of juvenile or something, and the other shouldn't bother him. He should be over that by now, Tony Stark gets over everything pretty quickly. (Or under it.) But they're reasons and they're what he has even if all his bravado for maintaining them is dissipating into general irritation and something he doesn't know how to explain very well.
That's helpful though. For her, at least - it's nice, and totally cheating, and it's hard not to move under her as she does it, even if it's not lower stimulation he's looking for and is simply a reaction to what she's doing higher. ]
