I Hear You But Try That Again, Slower

There’s something she notices immediately and that is how fast he talks when he’s trying to impress her.
Rushing his words.
Tripping over his thoughts.
Throwing sentences at her like he’s afraid she’ll disappear before he finishes them.

It’s cute, sure.
It’s flattering.
But it’s also a sign that he hasn’t learned one of her favorite rules yet:

Control the pace or she will.

Soft Dom Tess doesn’t need long speeches, speed, or frantic energy.
She needs presence.
She needs intention.
She needs a man who understands the power of taking his time with his words, his voice, and his desire.

So when he’s talking too fast, too eager, too jumbled, she doesn’t let it slide.
She steps in with that low, confident tone that makes his pulse stumble:

“I hear you now try that again but slower.”

It’s not a suggestion.
It’s a recalibration.

She’s teaching him how she likes to be spoken to 
with clarity, not chaos;
with control, not nervousness;
with confidence, not scrambling.

When she asks him to slow down, she’s saying:

Think about what you’re telling me.
Feel what you’re saying.
Let your voice match your intention.
Show me you can be grounded, not scattered.

Because any man can talk fast.
But a man who can slow down when she commands it?
That’s someone worth her attention.

Slowing down makes him aware of his tone.
His words.
His breath.
His desire.
His presence.

She watches the shift
his shoulders roll back,
his breathing steadies,
his voice drops,
his confidence rises.

Suddenly, he’s talking like a man who understands the moment instead of rushing through it.

This is the soft-dom alchemy she brings:
She doesn’t just dominate; she refines.
She doesn’t just command; she guides.
She doesn’t just slow him down; she grounds him.

Because she knows the truth:

A man who can slow down on command can do a lot more on command.

If he can hold himself steady under her gaze,
if he can adjust his tone when she asks,
if he can listen and respond instead of rushing and reacting then he’s someone who can handle the deeper commands waiting for him later.

And trust me, she has plenty.

But he earns them by proving he can be present, attentive, deliberate.

So yes, she hears him.
But she wants more than words and she wants intention behind them.

And when she says,
“Try that again, slower,”
she’s not criticizing him.

She’s inviting him into a better version of himself, the version she might actually keep.

Final Thought: Parting Command

Speak with intention, not urgency. Slow down when she tells you to, it’s not a correction, it’s an invitation. Control your pace, ground your energy, and let your voice match your desire. She notices everything.
