Boo to no choking, but a completely fair thing to decline. He's still interested to see what John might do, freestyle, in a dominant position. How he'll make the role his own.

"Mmm," Finnick smiles, eyes lidded as he looks into brown eyes. "I do like praise."

That smile turns into a mischievous grin at the question about prep.

"It does, yeah, I'll show you how to help. Just..." He lets go of John's cock, putting a gentle hand on his cheek, stroking it slowly.

"Take a breath, sweetheart. No need to get too carried away, hm? I'm not going anywhere." He can tell John is getting a little too excited, and he'll need his stamina. He keeps a soft, encouraging smile, and pecks his lips sweetly. He waits for John to take a moment to breathe before moving on to any next steps.
