Pearl's eyes closed and without even thinking, her body was already responding to Jasper's touch, pressing back against her and giving a soft moan when she felt the canines brush against her neck. The sensation gave her a shiver down her spine, but Jasper didn't stop there. After whispering dirty things into her ear, Pearl could feel the woman's thick fingers pushing away the hem of her sweatpants and the older woman's head was swirling with heat and pressure. How could such simple actions seem to be the death of her? She rarely reacted this way with Shay, but then again, Shay had stopped giving her attention months ago... Just as Pearl went to place her hand atop Jasper's, the younger woman switched gears and hugged her instead and somehow that seemed to make Pearl blush more than any of the dirtier moves from previously. She nuzzled into Jasper's hug and felt cold when the woman opted to back up and sit her butt on the counter. Pearl turned around, her cheeks still flushed pink as she leaned against the counter and stared at Jasper, honestly trying to make the right decision. "I... Stars, Jasper... You know I'm dying to have you.." she muttered it, looking away with a tinge of embarrassment, "But I definitely know I would like to go out on a date with you first. I<i>need</i>that. Sha--My ex and I would usually haul up in my room for a few hours, long enough to pleasure her and then she'd want to go to the clubs and all these... mm, just all these social events I never felt comfortable in. It was like she never wanted to spend time alone with me. Like there was something wrong with me." It took a few moments of silence before Pearl realized she was making the conversation awkward and turned back around to finish the dishes.<br/><br/>She chuckled and wiped some soap subs off her face, ironically just making it worse as she listened to Jasper. "That is most definitely true. Hours could be spent describing what I want to do to you, Jasper. I've only had a few<i>months</i>to fantasize." Pearl laughed again and leaned onto the counter on her elbows, looking out the window that sat above the sink. "I want to know more about you too, Jasper... I want to know what makes you tick, what makes you happy, what makes you cry. But I mostly want to know how I can make you truly happy and wanting for nothing because you've been through enough crap in your life." Pearl stood up straight and gripped the sink basin tightly. "I want to protect you."
