Alice leans back in her chair and takes a deep breath.

"I'm going to be honest here, what you can do scares me. I don't like the idea of something being able to control me but..." *she holds up her hand to stop any arguement.* "I don't believe you would ever take advantage of me. That's why I'm taking things a bit slow with you. I... everything before I came here was out of my control. But this, whether I take you to my bed or let you take me to mine, is something I can. So I don't want you to think I'm leading you on. I really do like you."
