For example, I'm rewriting a sex scene and my current dialogue and subsequent dialogue tag is: > Almost reluctantly, he said, “Okay, I'll pull out now.” **"Hinted"** is a bit too straightforward, and I was hoping to find a similar word that is a tad more subtle. I also don't want to keep the modification of said. It's a personal preference in my writing style not to do that. Also, I don't think body language would help here and I don't want to omit a tag, as it's very important to the scene for the reader to know he doesn't want to do that.
