Once we were in the dark, he cleared the ground of debris and pulled off his white shirt. Billowing it out before lowering it over the ground so it'd cover as much space as possible. With no regard to the fact that the fine material would be forever destroyed.

"Calm down, Belle."

"I can't see anything but bits of white and shades."

"I know. But I'll be your eyes." I felt his hand circling mine.

He put that hand along my upper arm and wove around behind me, moving that hand along my arm to show me where he was.

I knew he now stood behind me.

He expertly undid the clasps at the back of my dress. Letting it fall with a whisper to the ground. Sliding my other underclothes to the ground in a pile. Holding them around my ankles for me to step from them.

I took a tiny step forward and stopped. My hands outstretched until I found the top of his shoulder.

He stood and I followed that shoulder up until he stood over me. His hands landed around my waist. Framing its slimness as he drew me closer.

I could already feel his heat.

He's already unclothed.

His body was generating warmth. Contradictory to the cool night. I caught his shoulders and he turned me, tipping me in his arms.

I laughed despite myself.

He chuckled and lowered me to the ground. Like something precious.

He knelt next to me. Twisting over me and joining my lips with his, in butterfly touches that had my breathe quickening and my heart thudding in my chest.

Do I love him?

It was the first time I'd ever asked myself the question.

Yes.

Something soul deep in me responded immediately. Before I'd even fully formed a thought in return.

Every one of his touches was doing something more to turn my body to lava. Superheating me from head to toe.

He caressed along my jaw and to my shoulders, where he outlined my torso and trailed his palm over my flat belly. Feeling the firmness of my thighs and drawing his fingertips down the slim length of my legs.

I shivered. Feeling myself dampening already. "What are you doing, Din?"

"Savoring the feel of your skin. Enjoying touching you. Without fight, without war, without wondering where you'll be tomorrow. Just touching you..."

I felt a thrill of exhilaration. Sensing his enjoyment at the feel of my body. Already, I could feel him hardening near my elbow. His stiff member protruding near my side.

Soon he climbed over me and crawled between my knees, lowering his face between my legs.

I stared at him in shock. "I wish I wasn't entirely blind. That I could see, like you do."

He paused and I saw a quick movement like he'd tossed something.

The air above us bloomed in winking purple lights, hovering just above our heads. Only a few feet above the ground. They shimmered like tiny glowflies but cast enough light below them to illuminate the ground around us. Allowing me to watch as Bodin lowered himself back down onto his chest and elbows.

His eyes locked with mine and I was lost in the purple lights shining in the depths of his amber eyes as he peered at me from over the nest of my sex. His mouth sliding along the crease of my body. "Mmm. Like fine nectar."

He licked again with slow precision. Slicking that tongue from the bottom of that slit up to just beneath my hood where he added some pressure and swirled it. Withdrawing to blow slightly. Forcing the tiny nub there to swell. Then he was able to feel it along his tongue and began pressing it up and down. Giving it careful attention, which was sending me into a freefall of pleasure.

"Bodin!" I cried in desperation. No longer aware of any universe where other people were around. I was somewhere else. Lost in the feel of night air along my sensitized skin. My nipples tiny pebbles jutting off the soft tissue of my breasts. My pelvis pressed firmly against his face.

He watched me as he worked that nub. Making me so sensitive I was nearly in pain. My back arched up to a near point. My shoulders and the top of the head on the ground as I bowed my neck. Straining as the pleasure exploded behind my eyelids in a cascade of lights and sensation.

I found myself catching his head and pulling his face further into me. My hips rocking forward to meet the lathing of his tongue.

"Give in to me, Belle. Surrender your body."

I panted. Feeling very much like I was already doing that. With a gasp I felt the tweaking pleasure pulling inside me suddenly convulsed and blew out into a whirlwind of chaos through my muscles making every sinew contract in my body. Forcing everything to clench and tighten. As warm fluid spilled from my body to his mouth.

"Mmm." He purred. "Just like that."

He fed me the ecstasy until my body relaxed. Then he climbed up over me. Settling his body over mine and gliding smoothly into my channel. Taking away the hollow ache beginning to build.

I moaned softly at the feel of him.
