The kettle had been just over halfway to boiling when Pearl’s text came through, and was whistling steam by the time Rose could calm her laughter over the phone.
She looks halfway freezerburnt in the pic she had sent: Pearl, already layered in the muss of a long day and the sweat of dance practice, red-nosed and miserable and bundled up to her chin with the snow-caked doors of the rec center behind her. A sign in one of them reads “NO WATER -- PIPES BURST”
The caption, though, is the clincher: “My dorm’s plumbing is out, too. I hate to ask, but would it be okay if I showered at yours?”
First of all, that picture was going to be Rose’s new home screen. But the real punchline, here -- which she tried to articulate to Pearl over the phone, through her doubled-over gigglefit -- is that Pearl would think twice about asking to come over. That she would 'hate to ask'! She’s been doing so for months. And with all other possible showers on the opposite end of campus, and Rose’s apartment hardly a couple blocks from the rec center, it just hits her as a uniquely Pearlish blend of pitiful-funny that she would even feel the need to ask permission.
To use her shower, especially. (Well. She left that a bit more implicit, over the phone.)
Rose grins to herself, still, watching the tea steep. She isn’t exactly dolled up -- it’s a healthy piece of late in the evening, and she had just planned to read until bed -- but Pearl has a way of shyly eyeing Rose in even her most kickaround outfits.
(Gold-good things flutter in her chest, there. Sweeten soft.)
Instead of changing, she’s piled a stack of towels and her bathrobe next to the door -- a couple mugs of hot, cheery chamomile on the coffee table, too. So when the door sounds off with a tangle of tender knocks (oh, oh, her knuckles must be numb), Rose is quick to whisk it open with one towel over her shoulder, making little effort to hide the bubble of laughter in her voice: “Poor thing, oh no! Come on, come on -- oof, goodness, it is cold out --”
Hopefully her smile doesn’t look too pleased.

Her hands--
One of them pulling back, palm open -- Pearl imagines it but she can't predict it, and that fills her with a nervy thrill, the not-knowing just when Rose is lifting her hand to begin its graceful arc through the air --
And each time her palm lands! The heat, the sting, curling deliciously across Pearl's skin outwards from the point of impact--
Pearl is moving, wriggling, wiggling, hips bucking desperately, heedless of how ridiculous she looks and the way it twists her neck this way and that. Her knees shifting on the bed, backwards, and forwards again, as if she could escape. Trembling with the strain, till finally with a low groan she lowers herself to the bed, her hips pressing once, twice against the comforter. She whimpers out a barely audible apology, in case Rose cares -- spreads her legs a little further, as if to make up for her change in position.
"Please..."

Rose’s leer could bleach clothing.
“You certainly don’t care about keeping my belongings clean.” Her fingers thieve: feather quick and awful between Pearl’s thighs from behind, and come back bright and slippery. “Look at this mess. Shameless.” The slick makes the impact extra colorful for the next two dolloping spanks -- brusque and businesslike. Posture flat to the bed like this, the flesh becomes lax, and softer. Safer to frost with a little brutal sugar.
She indulges in a squeeze: the skin of her ass is glowing tart. A crackling little taste for Rose’s sweet tooth. “Shameless, filthy little thing.” The squeeze rolls into a knead and then another smack before Rose shifts herself for a better angle, coming to kneel just outside of Pearl’s left leg.
‘Please,’ crumbles, though, a ’please.’
“‘Please’?” Rose wants to eat it right out of her mouth. Her fingers trail to the softer inner of thigh to trace nails there, a glimmer of threat. “Please what? Surely not you.” Four little nibbles in the vulnerable flesh. Her other hand plays along the baking pink of Pearl’s ass -- easy, idle, maple-colored strokes, early-shaping the next wave of swats.
“What, then? Tell me.”

Stretched out like this, the position is easier on her upper body; there's just enough play in the arrangement of her limbs that she can begin to move her hips again, an uneven rhythm that echoes Rose's spanking. Rutting into the bed. Shameless, just as Rose calls her: her breath hitches into a half sob, and she buries it in the bedding. She twists her head (cheeks pink, hair hopelessly tousled from struggle) as if to meet Rose's eyes, but can't quite manage to crane her neck enough.
"Please--" She doesn't know what to ask for. Knows it probably doesn't matter anyway: it's up to Rose, all of it. Still, she shapes the words, soft and quavering: "Please t-touch me."
what f i literally only use this icon for the rest of forever
“No,” Rose says, simply. Sweetly. “I won’t.” She bends: presses a soft kiss to the worst-abused swell of Pearl’s ass. (Her skin is glowing-warm.)The gesture is a tender one, notched between crisp cruelty. “I won’t touch you for the rest of the night.” (And a lie, too.)
She lets the verdict dredge a milky, distressed whimper before going on. The mattress snickers as Rose’s weight shifts -- leaning closer to her head, now. The change spills Rose’s hair from her back and it feathers lightly over odd parts and pieces of Pearl. A sensory 180 from spanking.
“What I will do,” another kiss: this one at the lean sliver of shoulderblade, “is toy with you.”
An important distinction. Toying is for Rose’s satisfaction. The touching is done for Rose’s enjoyment -- so goes the pretense. It can constitute any number of verbal and digital and oral and dramaturgical acts directed upon Pearl, driven by Rose, and very obviously constructed around capitalizing on Pearl’s submissive tastes. But it’s critical that any pleasure Pearl feels is treated in-game as incidental and beside the point. This kind of play relies on that illusion: that Rose is above, and Pearl is below. That’s how this particular game goes.
But there can’t be any game if Pearl isn’t enjoying. And she enjoys more when she’s a little nervous.
“I’ll play with you,” another pop on the ass: more gentle, this time, “if you can be good. It’s hard, I know -- you have no discipline to speak of --”
One last grope: a handful of flesh near her upper thigh. Quick press of a massage, right over the tiny moon-shaped nailmarks.
“-- but you can be very, very good when you try.”
It’s time to get her off of her neck. A little rearrangement. Rose leans, reaching: snags a puffed pillow from the top of the bed and lays it flat to the right of Pearl’s head. Another goes next to her shivering hips. The towel is on the dresser still, so Rose slinks from the mattress to grab that, too; fabric sighs as she drapes it over the pillow. Too little too late, maybe, but there’s no reason not to.
A quick bundle of kisses stipple the dip of Pearl’s back as Rose carefully shepherds her into turning over. It takes pressure off of her bound arms, instead letting her rest on her shoulders. And her worn-out backside, too: it’ll be a nice reminder of her fresh spanking for the rest of the scene.
All the while Rose feeds her a lulling, plaited monologue about how embarrassing it must be for Pearl, to have so little self-control -- between the showerhead, and now the bed, Rose was beginning to worry about the rest of her apartment (“You can’t help but try to get off on who or whatever stands still long enough, can you?”). How sad for such a clever, pretty, sweet girl to be so shameless, so slavishly ready to let her base wants override her. What a waste.
“But don’t worry. I’ll play nice.” Rose finishes the last adjustments to their new position. Pearl: laid flat, weight bridged between shoulders and propped hips. Propped up this way, she should be comfortable. Most of her field of vision can only reveal Rose’s expression -- none of Rose’s movements. And Rose: nestled at the foot of the bed, one leg tucked comfortably underneath the other as she guides soaked thighs to butterfly wide. “As long as you don’t break any rules.”
Her tongue clucks: tsk. Coaching her face into something pitying and tender isn’t hard. She lets her eyes linger on the full, neglected sex one moment more before reaching over for the wand. “There’s just two. Don’t kick.” Unseen by Pearl, the wand pets along her soaked lips. Just warming against her. Then it nestles low: well clear of her clit, but a bit too firm to count as a ‘tease.’ “And don’t come.”
And then clicks on with a whirrrr --
