Carmy's a little masochist, though, so that only makes him kiss her harder, hotter, making a low little noise into it. Hands firmly in place as he eases her back onto the plastic fabric of the sun lounge, kneels a knee there and plants a hand so he's over her.

Thing is, he is not used to doing this with someone who isn't a one night stand or — it's too painful to think about Claire, but he'd known her a long time and when they'd finally kissed he had all this pent up shit. Same with Richie. He doesn't know how to move at a normal pace, isn't sure what's okay, so despite this forward momentum and how much he just touched her he's being deeply conservative with his hand and hip placement, keeping everything just to sweet kisses. He is Catholic, after all.
