Annie could have chosen not to reply, of course. She had other uses for her mouth at the moment, for one thing, and for another, she was busy and not a little distracted by her own hand.

But she also knew Diego almost too well, by now, and thus pulled back enough to bossily (well, breathily, but she was trying) inform him, "Oh, I definitely can," before sliding her mouth back over him with renewed enthusiasm.

Protests like that from him were not going to help her stamina, unsurprisingly, but that was why she'd started touching herself in the first place, anyway.
