Alec wasn't careful with his own hands, but then he didn't have the physical power that Richard had, didn't possess the means to hurt Richard beyond what Richard would allow. (It was just that in this state it was all too easy for Alec to forget that Richard allowed too much, that he didn't always have his priorities in the right order.)
Still, right now he had no wish to actually hurt Richard so much as the fact that he was wrestling a desire to touch him as much as he could, and Alec's hands were never all that precise in the best of times. The catch of nails on skin as he pulled Richard's shirt off his shoulders was almost unfortunate, therefore, although Alec spent little enough time worrying about it.
Instead he leaned in to press lips against Richard's skin, pulling him towards Alec's bed as they went. He wondered briefly if Richard would trip over the scattered clothing -- which was ridiculous -- and then if he would. He didn't suppose it mattered. One way or another they were going to find themselves horizontal soon.
