Chapter Text
Their first kiss gets a little out of hand. It’s both of their faults, really, and Pearl is not going to fall on the sword or anything, but she also knows that she’s not helping matters, nipping at Marina’s lip like that and humming a little groan into her mouth. However, Marina makes it worse by sinking her fingers around the back of Pearl neck and squeezing, a little tight, and running her other hand up along Pearl’s face, palm big enough to cup her whole cheek with her fingertips ghosting around the base of her ear.
Hence the groan, right into Marina’s mouth, when those same fingers slid up and around said ear and under her hair, leaving a trail of white-hot fire in its wake. And this is just the first kiss—well, maybe the third or fourth, but they’re all chained together, and Pearl can’t do math at the best of times, let alone when her groan opens her mouth enough for Marina to get her lip between her teeth for a return bite.
All of Pearl’s air leaves her in a rush and she has to pull away. Marina allows it with a small, unhelpful keen, low in the back of her throat, and Pearl has one lucid thought as her brain is flooded with oxygen—contract, breach, no dating clause—before she hooks her hands in Marina’s shirt and yanks her back in for another kiss.
Marina laughs, sending it thrumming through both of them, and that’s it for any lucidity.
