Doing "Oh, but maybe we can fuck?" at this juncture kills the buildup and doesn't fit with the character. In this context, it needs a bit of lead-up and transition, since it's in a care setting (massage), so the massage needs to serve as a pseudo-foreplay and help break down inhibitions to get to the point of "Damn, I need this." It helps with in-character progression and also allows for more erotic buildup prior to initiating a more straightforward sexual encounter.I disagree. Verily,
is a perfectly appropriate transition entirely on its own. Trust me.
What I have is cramming that forward unnecessarily and trying to provide a brief history into how sex work is treated differently than our world but not referencing our world and it's just inartfully handled, when I should be drawing it out more and building desire and teasing the reader more, and either find a better way to give that sex work lore or just ditch it entirely (probably the latter unless I can weave it in more naturally).
