[For all the signals her body is giving that she's afraid- her quickened heartbeats, the rush of adrenaline, the shiver of her skin as goosebumps follow his touch- Marina knows this is not terror. Fear is something she's well acquainted with, unmistakable. This is different. She wants this.
Still, his long pause and scrutinizing gaze does set her a bit uneasy. She's a very confident girl, but even the most self assured person can have moments of worry. What if he rejects her now? She'd be pretty devastated, she thinks, all hot and bothered and smitten for nothing. There is a certain fear in that and that alone.
But there is no rejection, only a sighing command that she was already following. Marina goes along with his touch, wishing him to explore. Her breath hitches at the touch to her bared throat, her blouse already open down three buttons worth and easy to nudge aside. He compliments her manner towards him and kisses her, she answers softly,]
You can be scary, but so can I. [they know what they're capable of after The Door Incident. There's a mutual respect she can feel. One well earned!]
I'm not afraid, Pinocchio. You're a thrill, not a fear.
