The way Pearl says her name the second time, she's begging for her. There's a part of her that wants to reach out, scoop Pearl up and simply hold her close. And another that wants to push Pearl more, not allow her that comfort just yet. She feels that, when they play out scenarios like this, wanting to see how far they can go, and yet also being gentle.

"Pearl," her response comes out with that mixture of both, a whisper with a harshness to it almost. She rolls her head to the other side, eyes focused on Pearl.

"I'm glad you realize your mistakes." She pinches Pearl's nipple between her toes, pulling. "Are you going to be better from now on?" She pushes her big toe against Pearl's entrance, feeling her slick heat welcome it.
