A hum of pleasure reverberates through Pearl's throat beneath the touch of Garnet's lips, and she sinks further into the mattress, wiry arms wrapping around sturdy shoulders. Blunt nails graze Garnet's scalp ever-so-lightly as her fingers comb through her thick, dark curls.

Everything about this moment feels nothing short of perfect to Pearl. Garnet's soft weight on top of her, her warm breath tickling her collarbone... it all makes her heart race and her skin tingle, yet at the same time, Pearl feels at absolute peace. It's that sense of serenity she's always felt with Garnet close, enveloping her like a woolen, well-worn blanket.

She'd stay like this forever, if she could.

Pearl's chest rises and falls with a mirroring sigh of her own.

"You're wonderful," she murmurs.
