Page 15 of Eclipse Bound
Eclipse filled her doorway. He wore jeans and a button-up shirt that almost fit properly, but there was no mistaking those otherworldly eyes. He clutched a bag in his hand.
Rowan pushed to her feet, glad the desk was between them. Her heart beat quickened. "How did you get in here?"
Her hands shook nervously as she glanced at the hall behind him.
Eclipse closed the door with deliberate care and then stepped toward her with fluid grace.
"Rowan Clark," he said, her name like a soft melody in his strange accent.
“Seriously, how did you get back here?”
"Your security is minimal," Eclipse replied.
"They let you wander around?"
"The human male at the entrance was very helpful when I told him I was here for you." Eclipse remained between her and the door, keeping a respectful distance. "Have you considered my request?"
In the better lighting, she saw a strange tint to his skin, almost a purplish-blue undertone.
“This can’t be happening,” she whispered. “How are you doing that with your eyes? They look like stars.”
Eclipse took a single step forward.
“You recharged my phone by touching it.” She looked at his hands. They seemed mostly normal, but for the color. “This isn’t real.”
“I am very real,” he assured her, reaching to touch her arm. “Feel.”
Rowan swallowed hard. "Just because you’re real in the sense you’re not a hallucination doesn't mean I believe you're an alien diplomat on a mission to find Earth brides."
Even as she said it, she felt energy humming off his skin, traveling into her arm. Her stomach tightened in response.
"What would convince you?" he asked, tilting his head.
"I don't know," Rowan said. She leaned closer to him, drawn into the humming. The vibrations reached all the way to her toes, but that wasn’t the particular body part she concentrated on.
“I accept,” he stated.
“Accept?” She felt breathless. Her nipples ached. Her legs felt weak. All from the single touch of his vibrating hand.
“Yes.” He suddenly jerked her forward so that her body pressed into his. The entire length of him was pure energy. It washed through her in one giant pulse.
Eclipse gave a strange moan that sounded as if someone strangled him. He stepped forward, pushing her back until she came up against a wall.
He rocked his hips forward to pin her body before focusing on her breasts. The sounds he made became louder as he grabbed two handfuls and squeezed. Another pulse of humming energy hit her like a giant vibrator.
Instinct dictated that she lift her leg to give him access, but as her thigh traveled upward, he squeezed her breasts tighter and began to shake. They hadn’t even removed their clothing. It left her in a mix of pleasure and frustration. She wanted to tear his clothes and have him fill her, but an orgasm hit her surprisingly hard.
“You have favorable energy,” he said in approval. His hands stayed gripped on her breasts. “And I quite enjoy these portals.”
“I…” She couldn’t think of how to respond. Her heart beat fast and hard. This couldn’t be real.
The lights in her office flickered wildly. Eclipse instantly stepped away from her and put distance between them. The computer monitor came to life, surged, and then died.
“What’s—?”
Before she could get the question out, her door opened again, and Eclipse’s friend strode in, trailing actual sparks from his fingertips. His skin had a golden sheen that pulsed with each step.
"Eclipse, come. We have a problem," he announced, ignoring Rowan completely. "Lunar is skulking, and I believe he's tracking a human female."
