Jrax sat up and removed the blanket from his body. He reached over to wrap the warm fabric around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. "I understand in a sense. I feel like I chased the ghost of you across the galaxy." He looked away from her. "Now that I found you I wouldn't want to lose you."<br/><br/>**---**---**---**---**---**<br/><br/>Ama looked up a bit in surprise as he sat up and came to her, wrapping the blanket about her, and then pulling her closer to him. The warmth there once more. She bit at her lower lip for a moment and then looked over at him as she spoke. Her white blunt teeth releasing her full bottom lip as she blinked back the tears. "Ghost?" She asked in confusion, not sure what he meant, then she leaned up closer to him so that their noses almost touched. " You were not repulsed by my body so close to yours? I feel a pull to you I have never known before, and I am not sure why... but there is an underlying attraction and I am not sure if it is... natural, or inappropriate."<br/><br/>***--***--***--***--***<br/><br/>Jrax, in a state of pure instinct, brought his lips to hers.<br/><br/>**---**---**---**---**---**<br/><br/>Her eyes flew open in surprise for a moment before the firm, but soft pressure of his lips lulled them to droop and then close, a hand coming up to touch his face. Why did his lips feel so right? Was this really right and... the last remaining thought moved out of her head as she leaned more into the sensations. All she knew was the swirlling emotions and sensations firing throughout her body.<br/><br/>***--***--***--***--***<br/><br/>His hand came to rest on top of hers. So much time spent in the vast void of space and it comes down to this. This was the very thing the universe sent him out to find. The purpose of which he did not know and didn't care about right at this moment. He pushed his lips deeply into hers, feeling the softness of her flesh so purely against his. Her scent, her touch, and her taste coalescing into the most intense euphoria he had ever felt<br/><br/>**---**---**---**---**---**<br/><br/>The warmth of his hand laying over hers, caused a gentle sigh to escape her lips, which parted beneath his own, and invited his invasion. The taste of him flowing through her, and creating a moments hesitation before her own press came for something a bit deeper. It was the sudden call of a rainbird that caused her to open her eyes up again widely and pull away suddenly. Her lips now swollen a touch by his kiss. "I..." She began but had no other words yet to follow. Her hand still resting upon his cheek.<br/><br/>***--***--***--***--***<br/><br/>The rain made the moment far more peaceful. Her movements were sudden as she pulled away from their metaphysical embrace. His eyes opened slightly letting the serene contentment wash over him, it was then that the reality of what had just occurred came fully to him. His eyes shot open wide. "Oh... I... I... I... I am sooooooooo sorry. That was very forward... Inappropriate of me."<br/><br/>**---**---**---**---**---**<br/><br/>She blushed as he seemed to slowly drift awake as if from a dream. Her heartbeat moving rapidly. She still tasted him upon her lips, a sweet citrus and peach. No one had tasted so before. She was startled that she had done such a thing, but more so when he finally woke and began to shift out hasty apologies. She looked down, softly pulling her had back away. "Did... I kiss incorrectly? I apologize... but I thank you for providing me with comfort. If... um.. that was what you were doing... Oh Goddess... I am just making a mess of your kind gesture. "<br/><br/>***--***--***--***--***<br/><br/>Jrax'eers eyes went wider. "No no no. You kiss good... Great..." He swallowed hard. "Well? I enjoyed it very much. And I didn't do that to be kind." A red tinge began touching his pale cheeks. "I really wanted to... Feel you."<br/><br/>**---**---**---**---**---**<br/><br/>Her eyes looked up at his for a moment, and then he explained. Confusingly, what he had intended. Not comfort but to... "Feel... me? How can you feel me with a kiss? I mean, sure our lips are pressed together, and it was amazing, and tasted good, but I don't understand how you could feel... anything more than...um...isn't it more like tasting?"<br/><br/>***--***--***--***--***<br/><br/>"Well... What I... Uhhhrrrm... Meant by feel was." Jrax'eer wondered what he had just gotten himself into. "When two beings... Uhhhh." He took a deep breath to regain his composure, at least a little. "Kiss... You feel more than their lips. In a sense, you can almost feel their soul. Or aura if you prefer." His hand slowly reached to touch her face. "You can feel the depth of people through a simple action. It can become almost..." He paused looking for the correct word. "Metaphysical."<br/><br/>**---**---**---**---**---**<br/><br/>She paused for a moment in her thoughts as he brought that to light. In his own way, he was quite correct. The heat of his skin was not all she had felt when she rested against him after all. There was something more. Though she wondered if what he had ... found... was unsatisfying. "Was it... all you had hoped to assess? Uh... was it ... did I disappoint?"<br/><br/>***--***--***--***--***<br/><br/>Jrax found himself entering the familiar state of calm that he did when staving off the hunger, though it was far easier. His deep forest eyes found her blue oceanic ones. "I've never felt anything like it Ama. I can say this honestly. This one brief moment of respite from the loneliness I had endured made it all seem bearable." Her body felt warm to his and he pulled her in closer to feel every bit of her.<br/><br/>**---**---**---**---**---**<br/><br/>Ama watched him slow down, and breathe deeply over several seconds before his eyes returned to her own, and he spoke again. The words piercing through the fog of worry straight to her heart. She inhaled sharply, then smiled, blushing brightly. "I am a respite? Perhaps I shall try for something more long lived..." She said, and then was pulled into his arms. She was still a touch surprised, but slowly the stiffness of it faded away, and she relaxed into his embrace.
