Her emotions

Caroline foggily remembered saying she wished she didn't have any emotions after her last breakup. She furrowed her brow, thinking hard. "Are you afraid right now?"

"What?"

She turned to Lisa with a suddenly ominously blank stare. "Are you afraid? You look afraid. I don't, though, do I? I'm not afraid. And I'm not embarrassed to be undressed in front of you, or anybody."

"I took your emotions. Oh fuck, I took your emotions. I... fuck. I don't know what to do."

"Is there any way we can get them back?" Caroline tried to put genuine hope into her voice. It sounded clunky in her mouth. She did want her emotions back, but in a very abstract way. She couldn't feel the loss but she knew it was important to get them back. Or at least try.

It didn't matter, though. Her sobbing roommate informed her that they were irretrievable. Caroline sat in silence, hoping that her lack of affect would pass as shock. After several minutes, she spoke.

"You know, I've always found you attractive..." she said in what she hoped was a passably flirty voice. "I was always afraid to tell you."

Lisa coughed with surprise. "You-"

"But I'm not afraid now," she purred and moved toward Lisa. "Now I just know what I want and I'm gonna take the opportunity to get it. When else am I gonna be able to have guilt-free sex?"

Lisa had her back against the bedroom door. "I... You are also very, um, attractive. But I think we-"

She was cut off as Caroline pressed into her for a kiss. For a long moment she was too surprised to react, then pushed Caroline away. "Caroline, come on! I just destroyed your emotions. You wanna-"

"Make it up to me. Give me stuff." Lisa felt Caroline's nails tickling up and down her spine as the younger woman embraced her. "You can take stuff, huh? Give me something. Anything, right? Give me your ability to sing."

Caroline felt Lisa's body relax slightly as she rubbed lightly at her roommate's collarbones. "Go ahead," Lisa said dreamily.

Caroline knew what would happen, but she was still amazed to hear a pitch-perfect snatch of Verdi issue from her throat. She wondered briefly at how she knew the composer, then remembered to put on a sexy finish. She pressed her forehead against Lisa's. "Now give me control of how horny you are. Remember, you can always give it back."

"I d-don't know," Lisa stuttered. "That seems like a pretty big ask."

Caroline's fake laugh was apparently enough to soothe her. She ran a finger along the hem of Caroline's pajama bottoms, but this time the other woman didn't shy away. "That's fine, seems like I'm already pretty in control of that," She coughed out a chuckle. "Ok, how about a little trust?"

Lisa eyed her skeptically "Trust?"

Caroline smiled and nodded. "Just a little! You destroyed my emotions, remember? Just a little trust."
