Summary
It wasn’t that Kaz himself didn’t want more. His emotions paced inside his body like a caged animal, terrified, furious, longing for release. He was broken in a way that he did not know how to fix, and the frustration built as he pushed himself and learned the exact dimensions of his prison. In the end, he realized that there’d be no escape. As he had done with the Dregs and with Fifth Harbor, he’d have to take the shattered remains of something ruined and build it up into something stronger. This scarred and crippled body, this racing heart and skin that flinched from touch, they were his and he would find a way to use them to give her what she wanted.
Like all good schemes, he could see the paths of it in his mind like rivers on a map, like veins under the skin. What Inej wanted from him was passion, vulnerability, intimacy. But intimacy wasn’t a single physical act, and she knew that even better than he did.

They had done this before more than once. First words, then their hands on their own bodies. Gasped encouragement and shared fantasies.
“Tell me what you’d want to do,” he urged her, not moving even a hair’s breadth toward her, giving her the safety of the space between them. “Tell me what you’d want me to do.”

Summary
His hands were unusually sensitive-- years of attuning his senses to the slightest nuances beneath his gloves, the catch of a lockpick against a tumbler or the edge of a card or coin, had trained his body and mind to make them so. Now, as she teased his hands with the very lightest of contact, the feeling of it shivered through him, sharp and exquisite.

"Inej was moaning and making little rocking motions with her hips. He could make her come two or three times in a row by just doing this for long enough.
If he had been a nicer man, he probably would have. But he was a terrible man, and he planned to make her beg for it this time."Kaz gains the confidence to take control for the first time.
