<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold"> "No, silly!" </span></span></span><br/><br/>Shadow arched a skeptical bemused brow and his lips curved upward into a knowing grin... he could sense her unease, but also sense she wished for him to  be still calm and not to worry about it,  he could not put everything together, but he knew there was something she wasn't telling him... without the bond he would have just took her at her word, but with it, he felt her... he couldn't exactly mind read, no more than a diver could see into the depths of the ocean, but he could feel the stream of thought, he could feel it ripple and move, heat and cool... he sensed her disturbance... but she kept it from him, like a swimmer bobbing ontop the surface of the ocean, he felt  subtle cool calm undercurrent flowing his toes... something he could ignore... something he could explore as well, though on the surface pleasant and warm he sensed such things were Tower matters, she and she preferred him to rest...<br/><br/>Rest and trust her, Shadow closed his sleepy eyes, taking in her scent and his thumb brushed against Illia's soft cheek and his strong arm rapped tightly against her waist, letting out a deep strong resonating contented sigh sweeping the washed over them like gentle  wave washing up on the shore as he cuddled up closer to her....<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic">"Poor bird."Ilia cooed</span></span></span><br/><br/>Shadow's drooping eye lids fluttered back open and he looked up longingly toward Ilia, and he low rumbling groaning growl like a drowsy bear awakening from hibernation, immediately he regretted he even said anything!<br/><br/>"What about me?" he protested, as he sat up,<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold"> "You'll need these tomorrow!"</span></span></span><br/><br/>Shadow's eyes widened, and his jaw dropped... clearly startled and very impressed. He was about to ask *how did she do that?* but all that came out was  "H-h-h...hmmmmm," he gasped, and he let out an elated deep throaty growl as crawled back onto him and captured his lips!<br/><br/>Shadow gave Ilia's bottom a squeeze as he tumbled back into bed, pulling her close loving the way of her chilled breasts felt against his hot feverish chest, those wonderfully hardened perky nipples melting into his skin.  He quickly pulled the covers and sheets back over them.<br/><br/>For a moment she appeared to be instigating a second round...<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">"From my understanding," She spoke against his lips.</span></span></span><br/><br/>Shadow grinned and kissed her back, a happy rumbling growl rose from his chest, his hand mouth to her hip, he felt his energy rise and arousal building... returning like the billows reviving hot coals in a forge!  Just when he was about to flip things around and begin passionately making love with her once more...<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold"> "Only darkfriends use birds as a form of spying."</span></span></span><br/><br/>The comment about dark friends using birds as a form of spying sent a chill down his spine... his eyes snapped open, that distinctive warm hearted deep soothing sweet rumbling growl change pitch, from  one pleasure to that of panic, "Hmmm?" he stared up at her.<br/><br/>His eyes fluttered loving the way her fingers through his hair, soothing him, like one might sooth an ancient stallion... Light! if she kept talking like this she could tell him that an army of Trolocs was outside the room and he wasn't sure if he would be able to get out of bed!<br/><br/><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">"I can not say for sure she is a darkfriend, but if she is, we can not let her get her hands on that Sa'angreal."</span></span></span><br/><br/>Shadow grinned, and flipped Ilia over. From above gazed down at her as he supported her head with a pillow... his hardened shaft throbbing against her thighs...<br/><br/>"So...when you say... play along... does...that mean... should keep doin this?" he asked through feverish anxious kisses, his lips traveled, "How about this?" he moved downward kissing her neckline and down between her bossums... down, down, down! under the blankets, kissing her hips and pelvis!<br/><br/>"Or this...?" His warm voice, was now muffled under the sheets, his thick dark locks resting between her hot thighs, his tongue glided against her petals, curiously seeking out and stimulating her clit. While Ilia had brought Shadow into manhood, his ears however were not that of a virgins! being raised in soldiers camp, and  the towers barrack full of young hopeful cadets he heard all sorts of things... and he was quite curious! and very eager to please! Light if Luna was darkfriend he had better not wait until later! Later they'd be in tents! not privacy accommodating stone walls!
