midnightstar | Shionne and Alphen in Menancia

They've all come a long way since Calaglia, both in terms of distance and... other things. Things Shionne was forcing herself not to acknowledge. Because what would the point be to acknowledge those thoughts when she couldn't act on them - when at the end of this journey, she had no future? Ah... but that was something she hadn't - couldn't - tell the others, who she's begun thinking of as more than just 'tools'.

Particularly Alphen.

It was the hardest to think of him when she knew how much she was keeping from him. Much to her frustration, however, the group had decided to take a break for a little while since Shionne's pace had been pushing the others quite a lot - and they did just gain two new companions. Shionne was avoiding them as much as possible, deciding to go for a walk through the city almost...baffled by how accepting the Dahnans and Renans were.

It was ... nice. But it felt so alien to her, at the same time.

Oh absolutely and his touches growing bolder was just another way he showed how much all of this made him feel so incredibly excited and wanting for so much more of her.

"Ngha I'm going to want you like this so...so often~ Just giving you that bit of aaah news~"

"Haa-h, ye.. yes, oh.. gods yes...!" Shionne.. had no clue what she was getting herself into, all she knew was that she adored Alphen so very much, and she was going to want to be with him like this every night now that they'd finally broken the barrier, so to speak. She was also quite amused at how he delivered that news - but she had some information to share as well, "You feel.. so good... I don't.. think I can get enough~~!"

There was no backing out of it. Nor did he believe for a second that Shionne would want to step back now that she no longer had the curse haunting her. So he would pull her even deeper into the world that they had both fought so hard to earn.

"That's a good thing~ I mmmm will never get enough of you either~"

No no, she didn't want to reclaim any space after she's felt this closeness with him. When she dreamed of being able to hold him in her arms - even dreamed of making love to him like this. She held him tighter still at those words, like she didn't want to lose the preciousness they'd fought for. "I've wanted you for so long..~~"

They would explore the infinite ways they could love each other so intimately in the future. But this moment right now. Was the one that would be the one burned most indelibly in their memory.

"I'm mnnnn going to want to hear more about that you know~" He groaned ,his hips rising up to meet her every time even giving her body a slight bounce on top of him for good measure.

She let out a sharp moan, "Y.a...h.. you.. you will..?" Of course he will, silly girl. She flashed to a memory of one of her dreams, bucking her hips a little harder into him at the thought, "I'll.. tell you for sure..." She'll be embarrassed, but she'll tell him. Although imagining them actually DOING some of the things she's dreamed of - oh mercy on her heart..!

He would gladly try anything at all with her. After all she had more reference material. ALphen closed his eyes and hissed her name as she pressed herself down on top of him a little harder and faster but soon he started matching that new rhythm as well while he just admired the sight of her growing more passionate and disheveled.

She was going to be looking for more romance novels too - though in secret. However that shift to meet the new rhythm got a surprised, and loud moan - almost a scream - from her and she quickly covered her mouth. A little late to now try to muffle herself though. "Nggh a-a.l..Alphen I can't..." Can't hold back, can't be quieter - "S.. someone's going to ah..!~ hear us --!" She hissed herself, even though she didn't slow herself any.

"Ngh you say that but you're still moving your hips so fast and aaah I really don't want to slow down either." Alphen growled, his hands pushing and pulling her down his length with a passionate groan of more, a desire seemingly without end burning in his mind right now.

She tightened her hand in his hair, out of breath, but clinging tighter to him by the second, "I can't.. I can't help it.. you feel.. so.. AHa... so GOOD..I want..mmmmgh.. More--" even if they were bound to hit their limit soon - they were but mere mortals, after all, not actual gods of love --

okay Shionne was probably goign to hit her limit before he would, just because his stamina was pretty insane. That said she did try to muffle her cries - though a certain someone was making that very difficult for her~!

"Then I should start doing even more of what I want~" Alphen was not going to let up. THough with how much she was voicing her pleasure and the looks she was giving him from above, he would not be far behind her in that peak of pleasure. No way he could last much longer under this combination of attacks.

She was tempted to question if he noticed her trying to quiet herself, because it almost seemed like he moved harder in those moments just to get her to call out his name so loudly. But that was silly. It was paranoid. He couldn't possibly be doing that -intentionally- right? "Yess.. I want... I want you to take what you want too -- aah.." She gasped, resting her hands against his shoulders and flashing him an adoring smile. Though she hardly looked her tidy self at this point - her ponytail was crooked and some of her hair had come aloose completely, but all she could see was how happy he was -a nd that made her more so.

While Alphen was one of the biggest fans of her day to day battle dress, in hindsight he was definitely feeling a little nostalgic of the time when she had her hair down completely. So seeing her so disheveled, bare of clothes and filled with such passion and love for him, was more akin to his own dream come true.

"I already am~ But it's only making me want you even more and in more exciting ways~"

One day - and probably one day soon - she was going to let her hair down fully. Maybe when they finally exhausted themselves or in the morning when she was too tired to get out of bed with him. Though it hadn't dawned on her that that was going to be a potential risk even with ALphen mentioning that he wanted to be with her in more ways. "Ohh...ha.h... s.. saying that.." She cut herself short with a moan - more ways with him.. more exciting ways.. "Alphen..!" They can't possibly have a neighbor - if there was someone in the next room, they'd probably be whapping a hand against the wall to demand they be quiet by now, right? Not that Shionne could. Or cared even if they did. "I fe...feel like I'm going crazy...~!"

He was going to have another moment of being dumbstruck with Shionne the moment she did that. Right now though he was hardly struck into a stupor at her beauty, instead just devouring the sight and sensations that he got with her.

"The good kind of crazy though~ The one that makes you forget about everything and everyone other than the two of us~"

"Ye--yeah, exactly that..!" She'd be speechless to know how much he was reacting to her appearance, especially now - but then it also made sense, because he made her feel the same way. "But .. you and I.. we..we're the only ones that matter here.. and now.. I have you, and only you.." it's all she wanted.

"Ngh talking like that makes me want to keep you like this until you can't lift a finger you know~" Alphen was getting more shameless the more he heard from Shionne and the sight of her losing more of her sanity to pleasure was exactly the kind of kindling that could turn that already raging fire of desire into an outright inferno that would leave him just as drained but satisfied.

Oh Alphen you kidder. She laughed breathlessly, "Would you...?" She slid a hand up into his hair, "That...ah...w..would make me..think i was dreaming.. just having you be with me s.. so much I can't move afterwards," she ..really should be thinking about what she's saying - but right now she's just rambling about whatever's in her heart -- such as being with him all night long. Which probably isn't going to be helpful for calming them down.

Having her say that...made something inside of him snap and he started bucking his hips into her more wildly while his hands ensured he would only go deeper at the same angle while he stared up into those gorgeous blue eyes.

"There's NOTHING I would not do with you~"

It caught her off guard with him moving so suddenly, her body starting to bounce more wildly atop his, and her hands had to grasp at him to keep her balance. She clutched him close to her body, almost baffled at how much more intensely they were moving together, "E..everything," she confessed in the heat of the moment, "Then I want to do everything with you..Alph..en..!" She was going to have to hit the library and soon! But it also felt like she was reaching her limit, with the way she was calling his name too.

The answer he only thought he'd get to hear in dreams was just that much more potent when it happened in real life. So he was not going to stop. Not now when he felt so close to something...enormous. Something that would complete both him and Shionne.

"Y-You said those words~ I won't let you forget them later~"

She shook her head, "I don't ..want to.. so don't let me forget....or take it back.." Not that she thought she would ever take it back - not with as much as they've done thus far. And she definitely didn't regret any of it. The strained, almost desperate tone of voice given, "Alphen.. I c.. I can't take any more- !" She had a PRETTY good feeling she knew what that feeling building up inside of her was, based on what she'd read, and she hoped he'd pick up on the urgency in her voice - that unspoken wish to reach that pinnacle with her.

"Then~ Ngh lets go together~" It would not go unvoiced for long. Because Alphen had done his best to make sure that they both had their peak at together to share in that mind shattering bliss that they were both so well overdue for. The world owed them so much and this moment of heaven was merely a fraction of the amount of happiness the two of them deserved.

"Alphen..!" She was relieved he wasn't so dense to not know the signs his body was telling him too - and that he wasn't so selfish to want to reach his peak without her. No, he'd never do that, she knew that. That's why she quickly claimed a loving kiss from him when they reached their peak, her hand pulling a fistful of his hair not that intentionally - but it happened nonetheless.

Considering he was the one who was aware he'd fallen for her first, no Alphen was surprisingly not dense about affairs pertaining to his own heart. Probably because he wore it on his sleeves really. Regardless everything just...ceased the moment the two of them hit that limit. His vision whited out almost everything other than Shionne as he pushed in as deep as she could take him only feeling that if he didn't do as much he would somehow ruin this moment before he felt that surge of heat race through him and then out into her as his hands just kept her pinned on top of him with no place to go even if she wanted.
