Page 29 of Eclipse Bound
Rowan's hands moved across his shoulders and chest, each touch creating new waves of resonance that rippled through his form. The sensations were unlike anything Eclipse had experienced on Zorveya, where energy interactions were carefully regulated and moderated.
"Your clothing," he said, his voice deepening as the resonance grew stronger. "It creates interference in the energy flow."
Understanding immediately, Rowan stepped back just enough to remove her dress, then her undergarments, until she stood before him as unadorned as he was. The ambient light gilded her skin with a soft glow, highlighting the curves and planes of her human form.
"Better?" she asked, a hint of vulnerability in her voice despite her boldness.
"Perfect," Eclipse answered truthfully. The human form was comparable to his kind, but there were subtle differences. She had two soft pleasure portals that sat high on the chest. And her skin remained the same shade, more or less.
When they came together again, the reverberation was unimpeded by artificial barriers. Eclipse's energy field expanded to encompass her, creating a twilight cocoon around them both. Within this shared space, sensation amplified, every touch creating ripples that affected them equally.
They moved to the soft surface of the rug before the fireplace, sinking down together in a tangle of limbs and energy. Eclipse found himself fascinated by the duality of the experience. The solidity of Rowan's physical form contrasted with the fluid interaction of their energy fields. He explored her body with meticulous attention, learning which touches created the strongest resonance, which patterns of energy flow produced the most pleasure.
Rowan proved an equally dedicated student, quickly discovering that certain configurations of her fingers through his energy field created intense feedback loops that made his twilight essence pulse and flare. She giggled when she found a particularly sensitive nexus point at the base of his spine, where a specific touch caused his entire form to momentarily flare brighter.
"You're learning quickly," Eclipse observed, his voice vibrating with pleasure.
"I'm motivated," Rowan replied with a smile that was both playful and predatory.
As their exploration continued, the connection between them built toward a critical threshold. Eclipse felt the harmonics shifting into higher frequencies, creating overtones that vibrated through both his energy field and Rowan's physical form. She sensed it too, her movements becoming more urgent, her breathing quickening as the pleasure intensified.
Eclipse let his energy flow into every opening in her body, noting the damp place between her thighs was particularly reactive. When they finally joined completely, merging into a single harmonious whole, the resonance peaked. Eclipse's twilight essence flowed through Rowan's body like a tide, illuminating her from within as her own energy patterns rose to meet his. The boundaries between them blurred, creating a singular experience of shared sensation.
Rowan cried out as the first wave of completion washed over her, her body arching against his as pleasure surged through their connected fields. Eclipse felt her climax as if it were his own, the sensation amplified by the feedback loop between them. His own release followed moments later, twilight energy pulsing in waves that matched the rhythm of her body.
For several heartbeats, they existed in perfect harmony, two beings temporarily unified. Then slowly, gently, the fields began to disentangle, returning to their separate but connected states.
Rowan lay beneath him, breathless and wide-eyed, her skin glowing faintly with residual twilight energy.
"That was..." she began, then laughed softly. "I don't even have words."
"Words are often inadequate for energy experiences," Eclipse agreed, his form still flowing around and through her in gentle aftershocks.
"Is it always like that for your kind?" she asked, her fingers tracing patterns in his twilight essence.
"No," Eclipse admitted. "The resonance between us is unusually harmonic. It creates possibilities beyond typical interactions."
Rowan smiled at that, a slow, satisfied expression. "So I'm special?"
"You are unique in my experience," Eclipse confirmed, his energy patterns shifting to reflect the truth of his statement.
They remained entwined, safe from the galaxy of problems outside.
"We should probably discuss Milano," Rowan said eventually, though she made no move to separate from him.
Well, almost safe.
"Tomorrow," Eclipse decided, surprising himself with the uncharacteristic postponement. "Some matters warrant immediate attention. Others benefit from careful consideration after proper rest."
Rowan laughed softly. "That sounds suspiciously like procrastination coming from a diplomat."
"Strategic delay," Eclipse corrected, his energy patterns reflecting amusement. "A recognized diplomatic technique."
She nestled closer, her body fitting perfectly against his form. Through their continued connection, Eclipse sensed her fatigue, the natural human need for sleep beginning to assert itself despite her desire to remain awake.
"Rest," he encouraged. "I will maintain vigilance."
"Stay with me?" she asked, her voice softening. "You won't disappear?"
