"Hea~art Ber~ry!'
Connie gulped at the singsong tone of Steven from behind her. 'Oh boy, I'm in for it now. Might have teased Mister a bit too much.'
She was right on both accounts, but she couldn't  help it. Over the last couple of weeks, they haven't spent much time with each other. Her with college and R&D duties. Him with his  ambassador and little homeschool recruitment work. It was strange to only have passing greetings, but that was all they had these two weeks and it was fine, her attention was preoccupied...Until it wasn't.
She now had some free time, and the emotions  hit her...Hard.
The sudden weight of boredom and loneliness, the wanting of his affection, and the itch..
The teasing itch.
It became an urge, she needed to relive it, but how?
That's when her phone vibrated  and saw a text from Patricia asking to hangout at the Delmarva central mall..
 and the plan began to form. 
 She was sure to bring her pink diamond  communicator with her to ensure he would get her messages and given the situation. He surely did. 
It was but a simple plan...a diabolical plan...a plan that would make him very embarrassed...and probably get her in 'trouble'. She was about to wake a sleeping giant. 
Her sleeping giant.
The plan personal pictures text chain of her trip with Patricia more specifically...The clothing she teasingly tried on inside of the changing rooms. Each with one of the following taglines depending on the outfit.
"For those times that are sweet like berries🍓." For cute and normal outfits.
" To remind you I'm grown, sexy and elegantly crafted💋." 
For evening gowns,three piece's suits and other outfits of that nature. 
and lastly…
" when you're all mines .👄"  
For more risque and personal clothing that she herself would never buy...While out with a friend, but had so online.
Of course, he did respond to the text as soon as possible..in various forms of appraisal (which made her blush and heart soar..god she misses him) and warning that he was gonna get her back for impish play (Which either made her giggle, laugh or arch a brow with a smirk.) In turn she responded with the next picture and tagline seemingly ignoring his warnings, knowing it'll drive him to play.
all except the final one.
" You're gonna be punished . I warned you, Heartberry.."
She could feel the blush on her face staring at that message and her thumbs moved instinctively
" Promise ?"
"😈"
Connie's face was red for a bit after that and when Patricia asked about it, all she received was a chuckle as an answer.
It wouldn't be until two days( When the itch was gone but pining was still there), that he would make good on his promise. She was relaxing, rereading the unfamiliar familiar when she got a visit from three rose quartzes, informing her that Steven needs her assistance on Homeworld, and of course she went without question.
Once on homeworld she found herself in Pink..Steven chamber which was much more human than the past, a recreation of his beach house room, just with bigger furniture, with one thing  missing.. 
Steven. 
With a sigh she turned to the window walking over to it looking at the freere homeworld with a smile, holding her cheek in her left hand. 
Suddenly the lights went off and that’s when she felt it.
The hold of his palms on her hips.The feel of his whiskered chin on her shoulder and lips on her temple. “I thought you wanted my assistance…”. She hummed as she leaned into the heat she missed so much in the last days, basking in it as she held the face of her Mister  in place. She giggled, feeling him run his lips down to her ear, his breath stroking those emotions reserved only for him.
"Hea~art Ber~ry!'
She gulped as she turned to look up at him, wide eyed with pupil pinpricks, a red blush across her cheek and her mouth shut close.
The face greeted her was a smile, a ‘dangerous’ full tooth smile, his left eye hidden in the dark, while his right eyelid was half down into a narrow sight, full of love and passion. 
“For the times you are as sweet as a berry.” He kissed her cheek.
“For reminding me you are grown, sexy and elegantly crafted.” he kissed her deeply making her moan before 
“And now that you're all mine?” She trembled, breathing deeply as he broke this kiss
He lifted her over his shoulder getting a laugh as he carried her toward  the bed and sitting down with her on his lap.
“I told you” He whispered Into her ear before snapping his fingers turning on the light. Revealing all the outfits she sent him through the messages made in her size. “Punishment.” 
She bit her tongue to keep from swooning audibly, before giving him a kiss and getting off his lap. She sighed looking at the clothing before looking back at him as he sat back with that smile.
 "Of course you'd choose to make me model for you as a punishment." She teased as she removed her jacket, pausing. “Wanna assist me?” Her voice was the sweetest liquor and her eyes impish and provocative as he rose from his spot, his grin a bit more  'dangerous ' as he made his way over to his bratty Heartberry. Happy to have her here with him.
