There's a note to Mattheiu's voice that gives him pause, and he stills as he feels the man's hand in his. There's still a point to be made though, and he sighs quietly as he brings Matt's hand to his lips and presses a soft kiss. The urge to bite is still there, but he grits his teeth and keeps it under control for the time.

"You know I would never force you into anything you didn't want, bloody venom or not."
