Chapter 3, Part II

Dusk settled along the horizon, dancing in playful reds, oranges and golds amongst the retreating clouds and fog. The gentle rain became the only remnant of the vicious storm.

The Banga group descended down the tower stairs, satisfied and weary after their long, drawn out deliberation. They made their way across the train station and came upon Raven. She sat alone on one of the many benches, her black and red hair shimmering in the sunset as her striking, pale blue eyes, were red-rimmed and lost in their own world. A box rested in her lap.

As the group approached, Gawan asked her gently, "Raven, are you all right?"

The gravity shifter turned and faced them, her thoughts on hold for the moment. They all looked at her worriedly.

Raven composed herself and replied reticently, "Ya… I'm fine. I just… I just really needed to get some food." She gripped the box tighter in her hands and stood up. Her body and mind heavy with burden. She noticed Syd stare at her intently.

"How did it go, is it over?" Raven asked and hoped her question would divert the attention away from herself.

Luckily, it did.

Lisa responded evenly, "Yes the meeting's over, but I'm afraid our work to join Hekseville and Jirga Para Lhao has just started. Although it'll take some time to iron out all the details, at least we have a peaceful and collective foundation to stand on... for now."

They entered the awaiting train that would take them back to the air shuttle. Along the way, Lisa, Gawan and Misai took turns explaining to Raven the key points that were addressed during the meeting - the need for an election to choose an overseer, the exchange of non-aggression pacts and trade agreements. Even an investigation into Mayor Brahman's past was brought forth.

As the train trudged steadily along its track, Misai laughed roughly, recollecting, "And they singled Cecie out for ideas on transportation integration! She was able to squeak out a proposal on building a monorail like this one between the two regions and when the whole assembly stared at her, considering it, she keeled over!"

Cecie looked down at her hands, extremely embarrassed. Gawan patted her reassuringly as the train halted at their destination. A few residents had started to emerge out of their homes as they waited along the platform with umbrellas in hand. The warning telecasts had stopped their broadcasting and a few grigos had began to patrol along the pathways.

The sun glinted down, making the rain sparkle as it fell.

Walking past them and up to the air shuttle in the soft rain, Lisa informed Raven, "At the end of meeting we all agreed to assess the damage caused by the storm. So tomorrow, I need you and Kat to help out on the islands that were hardest hit and look out for Nevi, especially since the weather is better," Lisa's tough exterior wavered, her eyes held a slight apologetic look,"…but if Kat's still out of commission, I'll need you to pull double duty then."

The sun reflected its golden rays in Raven's light eyes as she nodded, looking down at the box in her hands. Her heart thundered in her chest at the thought of being reunited with Kat soon.

What am I going to say to her? Especially now, since I know about the Creators… and, to an extent, what I did to her memories...

A few airboats motored underneath the scattered, dark crimson clouds. Flying past with refreshed vitality through the sky, the rain sprinkled off their metal frames. Misai waved from the driver's seat and the Banga group reentered the air shuttle. Xii and a hesitant Raven retook their place on top of the vehicle as it lifted off towards Banga. The settlement's outline, small along the horizon, could be clearly seen in the far distance.

As they flew unhurriedly through the sky, the air shuttle's door unlatched and opened. Syd clambered clumsily out and onto the roof as the wind tossed his white hair carelessly around. He sat beside Raven who narrowed her eyes at him quizzically.

"I couldn't waste this beautiful view any longer after being stuck in such small confinements all day," Syd answered her unspoken question, taking in the expansive world around him with a long inhale of freedom, feeling the rain dampen his face.

"You mean after being hung over all day…," Raven chided quietly. Syd responded by smiling sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.

For a while, they both sat in silence watching the birds fly along the glowing, peaceful sunset. The soft wind and rain caressed them tenderly under the parting clouds. As their air shuttle slowly passed along the marketplace plaza, they noticed the floating island come to life as residents excitedly wandered outside, children jumped and played in puddles like they were obstacles and the evening food stalls rebuilt themselves with blazing lanterns and smoking grills.

Syd took one long hesitant but invigorated breath in, before saying, "You know..., awhile back I once read a story. A story of a girl who lived, trapped, in a tower. And everyday she dreamed of a world beyond her window… until one day, finally, she broke free from it." He grinned, reminiscing about the old, forgotten tale.

Raven furrowed her brows, confused, "Why are you telling me this?" Her long, damp hair tossed diligently behind her in the breeze as she turned her head towards him.

Syd continued to smile, albeit a little sadly, "...Because Raven, your eyes, at the train station, reminded me of what I imagined the little girl's eyes would look like in that tower… stuck between a place of imprisionment and freedom - scared to leave but to scared to stay…," His bright, golden eyes bore into her, questioning, "Why would she be so scared, I wonder?"

Raven flustered, her cold cheeks burned slightly against the rain. How could Syd possibly know what was going on inside of her? Her heart started to thump hard in her chest as she tried to logically understand what Syd was implying.

"…Probably because that's all she knew - her life living inside the tower," Raven replied with a soft iciness. She looked down past her feet that were dangling over the edge of the air shuttle. The rain that fell past, fell down into the endless void of sky as far as her eyes could see.

Syd chuckled gently, "That's what I thought too, at first, but… I think, maybe, she was more afraid of the possibility that the world outside the tower wouldn't accept her, wouldn't let her experience the happiness of being free… because, to her, why else would she be stuck in that tower in the first place."

Raven's heart twisted painfully in her chest. Syd's words seemed to parallel what Raven's heart feared most, down into the deep, dark recesses of her soul.

Would Kat love her... even though Raven had sacrificed her memories… and Kat's memories… from before?

In this existence, in this time and in this space - could they be happy... together?

Raven hesitated, then countered Syd's words, "Well, did it? When she broke free - did the world outside the tower accept the girl for just... her?"

Syd thought for a second, then smiled mischievously, "I'll guess you'll have to tell me…"

At the exact same moment that Raven narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously, Syd put his arm around the gravity shifter and whispered, "…now go and trust her. Don't be afraid to love again," as he proceeded to purposely push her off of the moving air boat.

As if in slow motion, Raven fell from the air boat. Her long dark tresses floated around her as the rays of light illuminated her descent. Raven fell just like the light raindrops that surrounded her.

Again?

She gripped the donut box tighter, feeling a powerful, hidden but oh so familiar emotion stirring inside her heart.

Did I love Kat?

The question and answer jolted itself like a thunderbolt deep inside of her, filling every nook of her soul. Raven felt it. She felt the brilliant flames of her past love ablaze with such a needed force, stronger than the gravity that pulled her. It consumed her heart and set her self-doubt free. The missing, final piece of the puzzle had found its way home. She loved Kat. All along, her love for the flamboyant, strong-headed gravity shifter lay locked away, buried until now so as not to be taken from her... just like her previous memories had been. But now, that love had resurfaced as if an unknown key had been given to her.

As she fell, Raven glared happily up at Syd's carefree form. He waved nonchalantly from the retreating air shuttle. Syd was… strange, almost too strange. Raven promised herself that she'd have to pummel him later to find out exactly what he knew about her and Kat from before but, for right now, she couldn't waste anymore time as her heart swelled with every beat it gave.

Raven's gravity powers activated, turning her body into an ethereal azure. She darted like a shooting star across the beautiful, colourful sky towards a small drainage pipe home.

o x o

With the donut and sausage box in hand, Raven shifted and landed on Kat's steps outside the drainage pipe. The evening sky had faded into a soft subdued light amidst the serene rain drops. A dry sheet covered the entrance way.

Raven hesitated for a second, running her hand through her wet hair. She released a slow exhale, trying to calm the butterflies in her stomach. She hadn't bothered creating a spherical barrier to shield herself from the rain this time...and it felt refreshing.

With an electrified nervousness, she pushed the entrance sheet to the side and went in.

Inside, everything was the same but cleaner. New candles burned with a glowing ambience against the walls. Bottles, clothes and trinkets were organized neatly. The hot plate was off and out of the way with no tub in sight. Dusty lay curled in his basket, sleeping peacefully to which Xii reappeared and nestled itself against the cat, relaxing.

Raven put the box down and held her breath. She stared intently at the mesmerizing figure, in her work shorts and tank top, slumbering on top of the bedsheets. Kat rested on her side, dozing tranquilly. Her golden hair gently obscured her face and her hands curled under her chin similar to the way Dusty napped.

Raven made her way to the bed and noticed an apple and cookie were placed on the side table with a little note that had 'For Raven' scribbled on it.

The inner fire inside of Raven's heart burned brightly. Kat was an angel amidst the rubble of Raven's turmoiled emotions. She reached her hand slowly towards the food, hungrily. However, just as she was about to grasp the apple, a quick push of wind hit her out-stretched arm. Surprised, Raven saw a hand and slender fingers encircling her wrist. The owner of the hand, the angel that reflected itself in Raven's pure blue eyes, sprang to life quickly.

Raven stared shocked, realizing she had fallen into a trap. Kat opened her own vibrant, blood-red eyes… and smirked.

"No running away now."

o x o

It worked!

Kat momentarily praised herself, giddily.

Gripping Raven's arm, Kat maneuvered herself through the Lhao arm bar takedown that Fi had taught her awhile back. Using her forward momentum Kat spun Raven, the both of them rolling to the ground with a thud, which caused Kat to end up on top of her. Raven's long, wet hair splayed itself out across the floor, her wrists pinned down above her head by Kat's hands and her hips felt the pressure of Kat's bodyweight.

Raven's bright blue eyes steeled themselves against Kat's determined red orbs. Their faces took in the other, their breathing staggered. Kat couldn't help but notice that between Raven's exposed one-piece, her pale skin had small, tiny goosebumps. Her hair, eyes and skin contrasted beautifully with each other as she lay restrained by Kat's own hands on the coarse rug.

Raven really does look incredible when she's wet like this… knew it.

Raven's face and chest showed a hint of hotness, but she spoke evenly, "I'm not going to run away, silly. Why do you think I came back?"

I guess she has a point… Kat thought sheepishly but she had already initiated her plan so she couldn't turn back now as the Gravity Queen held back her sniffles.

"I need to make sure you're not going to shift off like last time. You gave me no choice," Kat countered, her heart pounded hard in her chest, "… and I'm not taking any chances."

She then enacted the next step of her strategy when she whispered, "Jupiter…"

Kat's powers encompassed her. Gold-plated armour materialized around her wrists and legs. Kat's gravity-weight strengthened as she felt herself sink lower into Raven. The dark haired girl released a sharp exhale at the sudden change in mass. With a slightly pained expression, Raven glanced down quickly at her side.

"Kat, you're-"

Kat's determination flared and she cut off Raven brazenly, "-I want answers Raven. Just tell me what happened last night and I'll release you… and then, you can have the cookie and apple too."

The pinned girl hesitated, taking in Kat's unwavering stubbornness. Raven altered her hips slightly to make Kat's Jupiter-style weight more bearable. The movement caused both girls to realize the kind of position they were in and the underlying sensations that came with it, although neither of them had any thought of backing down. Instead, the air between the two girls thickened with an unspoken lure of amenity.

"Please Raven…," Kat's voice coaxed and pouted, which made Raven's face and chest start a fire underneath her skin.

Raven stared up at Kat. The candles flickered against the walls expectantly and the room became silent. There was really no turning back now.

"I kissed you last night," the words fell simply from Raven's tongue but they held their own unimaginable heaviness.

"Oh well that's nothing-,"

Kat's rehearsed line fell flat in her mouth.

Huh?

What?

Kat's crimson eyes widened and her face became scorched upon registering what Raven had just said.

Did she just say she kissed me last night?!

Kat felt her world turn upside down, even without her gravity powers. It stunned her into speechlessness.

In that moment, Kat realized that they weren't just friends anymore. Something memorizing inside of Raven, in Raven's eyes, enraptured itself around Kat's paralyzed, but at the same time, quickening heart.

Taking advantage of Kat's inability to talk at the moment, Raven continued on delicately, "And when I kissed you... I felt what you described when… when you grabbed my hands this morning and told me all those things... I felt it Kat." Raven then gave her a half-nervous, half-reassuring smile. Kat saw that Raven's impenetrable barriers were crumbling down. She was exposed just like a Nevi's ruby jewelled core.

Kat couldn't let this opportunity pass.

Somehow regaining her ability to communicate, Kat stammered, "Really? You felt like... we had been like this before? Does this mean..." Her heart couldn't beat fast enough with an incredible purity as Raven nodded slowly.

"Yes, silly. I…I love you Kat and I want to be with you… again, as it seems. If this is what it felt like being with you from before... then I don't want to stop it," Raven murmured tenderly, her transfixing blue eyes full of deep, resurfacing emotions of yearning and affection.

The last of the evening light had faded into the sensual velvet of the dark night. The candles burned, illuminating their faces in a soft glow, making Kat's eyes shine and glisten with unshed tears.

Raven narrowed her piercing eyes, trying to read Kat's expression in the candlelight, "I'm sorry if this is overwhelming... I hope this doesn't-"

Kat couldn't resist it anymore, she was so happy that she pressed her lips against Raven's and kissed the girl under her with an urgent, sweet tenderness. Her heart beat with such a loving ferocity for Raven. A love that Kat now knew that Raven felt too.

Raven's eyes widened in surprise at how her mouth was silenced but it melted away as she started to reciprocate Kat's kiss.

Raven's lips were so intoxicatingly soft, warm and succulent. It was like kissing the petals of a rare and beautiful flower. Kat knew she should of been gentle with them but her passion blazed and burned with an uncontrollable desire at being reunited with her other half. The familiarity of kissing Raven felt so right that everything that she could think of blurred in comparison to her current insurmountable pleasure.

And Raven, in response, willingly accepted and vigorously matched Kat's increasing and unbound amorous advances.

Releasing her Jupiter-style form, Kat entwined their hands together and eagerly molded her hips, stomach and breasts against Raven's body.

Raven let out a shocked, quiet moan. Something else, other than love, was taking over her. She let a word, lustfully, escape from between their consuming kisses.

"Alua…"

Suddenly, a shockwave of a memory resurfaced in Kat.

The familiar name, the emotions associated with it and how it came from Raven caused this memory to imprint itself so strongly in Kat's mind. It didn't fade or disappear. There was no Cyanea stopping space and time to interrupt its manifestation from resurfacing. Kat let the memory take over as she moaned back ecstatically into Raven's kiss.

She remembered every detail, every sight, every sound and every touch of that long, forgotten, magnificent memory.

Midway through Sachya's kiss, Alua moaned, "You know, I've been waiting all day for this!"

Alua, in her royal attire, had discarded her regal headwear as soon as she saw the dark-haired beauty enter her monarchical bedchamber. She had raced from her writing desk to wrap her arms around Sachya's neck and assail her with hungry kisses. The awaiting attendant that let Sachya in barely had enough to time to close the doors behind her, giving them their much needed privacy.

"Believe me, it wasn't on purpose. Council meetings do feel like they drag on forever… my Queen," Sachya managed out. She wrapped her arms around Alua's waist, pulling her body closer to hers, kissing her back.

Alua drew back momentarily, glared and commanded, "Sachya, you know I'm not your Queen! So, stop saying that or else…!"

Then she tangled her hands in Sachya's long, dark hair and forcefully brought her lips down upon hers as punishment, which really wasn't a punishment for the other girl at all.

"If I don't say it, Xicero always gives me the dirtiest of looks. I swear it feels like that shrewd politician will stab someone in the back someday," Sachya said shortly between their kisses. She started to hastily undress out of her white Senate robes, unaccustomed to wearing so much clothing.

The royal heiress clambered back and fumbled with her own intricate, queenly attire. Her face progressively flushed at her inability to get out of her own robes.

Alua said exasperatedly, "Ugh, Xicero is harmless! Everybody knows that… but more importantly, can we focus on more critical matters that, at present, require our greatest attention?"

Sachya undid her robe's last button. Gracefully, it parted down the middle, exposing the pale, blue-eyed girl's revealing undergarments. Alua reveled in Sachya's undeniable, angelic beauty, feeling her heart-strings being ravished every which way, in the best of ways.

A delicate button flew off of Alua's garment. The wardrobe malfunction made Sachya laugh beautifully as she gently brushed her hair back behind her. In response, Alua turned all the more crimson even though it didn't stop her from smiling any less.

"Of course... let's focus on more critical matters… my Queen," Sachya teased. The blonde-haired girl stuck her tongue out in retaliation at hearing 'my Queen' being uttered from her lover again.

Sachya smiled, accustomed to Alua's playful expression. She activated her gravity powers, glowing an ethereal blue. She encompassed the chosen ruler of Eto in her gravity, taking in Alua's surprised and widened eyes at feeling herself go weightless.

The dark haired beauty walked with Alua as Sachya shifted her easily across the room and above her expansive, circular bed. She dropped Alua down gracefully along the edge of the soft bedsheets and planted a firm, deep kiss on the Queen's enticing lips.

Alua started to pull the other girl down on top of her, craving more.

Sachya resisted, and instead confronted her partner bluntly, "Alua, before we go any further, can you tell me what's bothering you?" She held Alua at arm's length, sat next to her on the bed and analyzed her with her piercing blue eyes.

Alua huffed, folding her arms across her chest, "How do you possibly know if something is troubling me?"

Sachya raised a delicate, amused eye brow, "Because I know you… I know every part of you, actually," she spoke alluringly. If that wasn't enough to arouse Alua's sexual pleasures, Sachya proceeded to raise Alua's chin with one hand, meeting her lips gently with her own.

It didn't take Alua very long after that to cave in.

Alua sighed, settled down and confided, "…You may think me selfish for saying this but… as the ruler of Eto, all I do is listen to people talk all day in the cathedral… the same old people. Everyday. It's repetitious without having the feeling that things are progressing. It gets to a point where I wonder if I'm doing any good here? Am I really making a difference when…," the Queen glanced longingly across her room where an opened window brought in a light breeze, "what I really want is to get outside the castle and help, not just the people of Eto, but everyone along the world pillar with my very own guardian."

Alua's red eyes kept looking out the window with a look of utter desolation, lost.

Sachya frowned. She brought Alua's eyes back to her by entwining their hands together, and pressing into them reassuringly.

Sachya spoke confidently, "From what I gathered since I've arrived at Eto... didn't the Senate seek you out due to a divine revelation? So, if that's the case, you're not selfish. It's okay to feel like that sometimes… but this means you're meant to rule the people of Eto for a very important purpose, Alua. You were chosen for a reason, but it hasn't come to pass yet."

Alua's eyes wavered but continued to look plaintive.

Sachya carried on with more optimism in her words this time, "And as for your guardian, it will come! I wish I could tell you how Xii came to me, but I honestly don't remember how. I know that it happens when the time is right. So… in the meantime, you should be preparing and… thinking about what you're going to name your guardian when it arrives!"

Sachya then smiled adorably and convincingly at her. Alua's heart leapt. She couldn't help but melt into that smile and her words. Her heart willingly gave itself over to Sachya for safe keeping. Sachya always knew how to make her feel better.

Alua agreed, perked up, and smiled genuinely, "I suppose you're right… and actually... I already have a name picked out."

"Oh. Do tell," Sachya kissed her as a form of bribery to divulge Alua's soon-to-be name for her guardian.

Alua laughed sheepishly, "Well… I'm sure you'll find it ridiculous but when I sat at my writing desk one day, I looked around my chamber. It was spotless Sachya! The attendants are absolutely adamant that they have everything immaculate. No mess, no untidiness, no dust even! And I was thinking, if I had it my way, if I could have it my way, I would have it messy, I would have it untidy… and I would have it Dusty! My guardian would be a reflection of my own choices and my own free will… so I'd name him Dusty!"

Silence.

A long period of silence past.

Alua reddened, embarrassed.

Maybe I went a little to far letting Sachya know that.

However, in the next second, Sachya's laugh reverberated throughout the bedchamber wholeheartedly with tears in her eyes. To Alua, it was agonizingly breathtaking - if that laugh was the last thing she ever heard in this life then she'd die happy. Alua kept smiling as nothing but pure radiance and joy came out of Sachya. Her heart burst lovingly in her chest. She dare not move or breathe as to not shatter the moment.

Drying her tears with her sleeve, Sachya confessed through her fading laughter, "Oh my Creator, Alua, you capitative and enthrall my heart at every turn... But, you're right, I do think it's ridiculous naming a guardian after your inability to clean up... but I think it suits you completely and I love you very much for that. I'm positive Dusty will love its name."

The two girls gazed at each other with a deep, affectionate bond and brought their lips together in a slow, passionate kiss. Any kind of sadness that Alua had felt before was completely obliterated in Sachya's unyielding love.

Alua broke the kiss and said, "You know, being Queen of Eto and the world pillar isn't really that bad... now that you're here… although I still find it odd that Bit rifted you here from your world pillar to mine without a reason… Are you sure he didn't mention why?," Alua then teased, "What if I want to send you back one day?"

Sachya smiled and narrowed her piercing blue eyes at her as she went along with Alua's jest, "No, he didn't mention why. And besides, if he did, it probably wouldn't of made any sense to me anyway, " she elegantly unbuttoned and unhinged the rest of the constraints on Alua's regal clothing, "… And as for sending me back… then who would undress you... like this... when you, clearly, cannot."

Sachya gracefully finished with the last button on Alua's robes. The gown gently slipped off her shoulders, revealing soft olive skin.

Alua, in turn, felt her heart beat considerable faster and harder as Sachya gave her a quick peck on the lips, then stood and knelt in front of the attractive blonde-haired girl that sat on the edge of her bed. Alua was bewitched in the sky blue eyes of the girl kneeling before her, at the end of her bed, ready to pleasure her.

"Now let's focus our attention on more critical matters," Sachya whispered seductively as Alua blushed at her own words being turned against her so pleasurably. Her whole body started to drip with arousal after that small, simple sentence.

Sachya concentrated her powers on Alua again. She manipulated Alua's gravity but this time only the Queen's robes dropped down. They fell from her shoulders and onto the bed, encircling her and exposing her bare breasts and back.

Alua's face heated as she felt Sachya study her comparably smaller breasts, feeling all of a sudden self conscious but undeniably horny. Feebly, she tried to distract the voluptuous gravity shifter from her breasts by asking, "But I was just about to ask what your world pillar was like, Sachya?"

Definitely not distracted, Sachya smiled gently while cupping and kneading Alua's breasts with her indulging hands, "Oh, my world pillar? The one that I've told you about a hundred times… with colossal buildings, " she gave Alua's nipples a light pinching, hardening them,"… islands with candles and shells and then my castle, with all its aqueducts... I don't think it's of a concern to you right now… my Queen."

Alua, painstakingly, was having the hardest time focusing on what Sachya was saying. The sensation of having her breasts fondled was just scrapping the surface of her pleasures.

And there was no mistaking it. Sachya was really really good with her hands. Desire started to take over and consume her. Alua wanted Sachya to touch her everywhere, to do whatever she wanted to her. She hungered for Sachya's affection as if she had not eaten in years.

Alua couldn't take it anymore; she wanted more. And she wanted it now.

"Sachya… please," Alua pouted, her fiery red eyes held an agonizing yearning that could not be extinguished by simple drops of water.

That sound, and that pleading look that Alua gave caused Sachya to flush deeply and obey. Her long dark locks fell in waves around her as she brought her lips to Alua's awaiting, swelling breasts and hardened nipples. She licked and suckled them as if she, herself, were starving.

Alua closed her eyes, feeling the aching between her legs intensity as Sachya worked. She tangled her hands in her lover's silky, dark hair, whimpering irresistibly as she felt Sachya's tongue caress and possess her in small intricate circles and firm flicks.

There really was no denying that Sachya was really really good with her mouth too.

Alua's throbbing private regions pulsed and fluctuated longingly, but impatiently. She wanted Sachya to do more and more things to her. Now.

"Sachya… please… I-"

Sachya stopped everything. She looked up at Alua with a hint of carnal teasing in her eyes.

Provocatively, Sachya asked, "Is there anything else you need, Alua?"

The atmosphere between them was so thick with lust, Alua could barely form coherent words and thoughts at the moment. Her eyes were heavy with pleasure, her body flushed and her breathing came in short, laboured bursts. Her body was beckoning for Sachya to be inside of her, to be one with her.

Alua exhaled deeply, "I need you, Sachya… all I would ever need in this time and space will always be you... I can't imagine anything else in this existence that could compare."

Sachya's eyes shined irresistibly but she insisted further, "Are you sure, my Queen?"

Alua glared hotly, knowing Sachya was now just toying with her pent-up ecstasy, "Creators!… of course I'd always like some Eto delicacies as well, but right now Sachya… I need you to make love to me! I can't take it anymore!"

Being sexually teased like this was so erotically infuriating. She had been waiting all day for this and Sachya was just prolonging her suffering… and loving it.

But Creators, is she ever fucking breath-taking when she's like this!

Sachya sighed, satisfied at achieving what she wanted to hear and parted Alua's gown slowly. She traced her hands down Alua's chest, waist, hips and legs, taking in every piece of her. She smiled as she watched the girl's reaction as she travelled down further. Gently, she separated and splayed Alua's knees, absolutely enjoying the sight that lay before her. Alua's hot wetness dripped between her legs, her pink folds soaked in anticipation. It capitulated Sachya's own desires to new heights.

"I think I'll have myself an Eto delicacy right now…," Sachya licked her lips as she moved her fingers around Alua's engorged clit, getting it well-lubricated with Alua's own juices. Sachya quickly tasted her finger, tasting the liquid's light sweetness against her tongue. Enticingly, she looked up at Alua with her finger in her mouth.

Alua's sexual libido sky rocketed. She really couldn't take it anymore. She jerked and pulled Sachya down on top of her. Laying with her back against the bed, Alua thrusted her tongue deep into Sachya's mouth and devoured her with open kisses without abandon. Sachya returned it all vigorously. Their mouthes and tongues duelled in a lover's conquest, battling for possession over the other,.

Sachya further led the conquest with her hands. She massaged Alua's breasts with one while her other hand trailed down to Alua's throbbing vagina. Sachya explored the blonde haired girls' outer soft, swelling lips with slender fingers. She then moved up, teased and rubbed Alua's clit in sync with the girl's quivering hips.

"Sachya…," Alua panted as she shuddered pleasurably under Sachya's touch, grasping the bedsheets.

Sachya trailed butterfly kisses down Alua's petite neck, firm breasts and smooth stomach. Gracefully, she stripped off her Senate robes and knelt back down along the side of the bed where she originally positioned herself before.

"Didn't I say I wanted an Eto delicacy," Sachya mused as she raised Alua's bare legs over her shoulders so her face was in direct contact with Alua's vagina. She dipped her head and kissed Alua's slick, dripping sex curiously… then licked again… and again.

Alua was so so wet.

Sachya's tongue wasted no time ravishing Alua's lower lips and clitoris. Alua gasped and exhaled sharply at the pleasure of having Sachya explore every bit of her. Powerful sexual energy shot up and down her body, enveloping her in a glistening light sweat.

Before she had time to completely register all the pleasurable sensations that the dark hair girl's tongue was doing, Sachya slipped two fingers past Alua's engorged folds and into her tight opening, thrusting up and against her inner walls.

Alua cried out and gripped the bedsheets, arching her back, in pure ecstasy. Feeling Sachya deep inside of her, filling and releasing her repeatedly, their was no greater sexual paradise than this.

Sachya's fingers were slow at first, studying the ridges and enclosed confines of the blonde hair girl's sex until she found the spot that made Alua's body jolt like a thunderbolt. Her tongue continued to assail her large clit, licking and sucking; building momentum ever higher towards Alua's blissful apex.

Creators… do I love it when she finds my spot.

Alua's senses narrowed and peaked; her climax was coming like an approaching storm.

"Sachya… please, don't stop! Keep going," Alua moaned, gripping the girl's hair. Sachya's sped up her fingers and tongue. Her tongue flicked relentlessly against her swollen lady bit, attacking it with such a divine retribution.

Alua could feel her orgasm coming. Her legs began to tremble uncontrollably and her entire body was amounting so much heat that her face and chest flushed involuntarily. She couldn't resist the overwhelming sensations as she panted and bucked. Sachya had to stabilize herself by grabbing onto Alua's thigh or else be knocked over while she persisted to thrust and lick.

"Sachya, I'm… I'm cu-"

Outside the queen's bedchamber the two guards stood uncomfortably as they heard her royal heiress climax ecstatically.

Alua's inner muscles tightened on Sachya's rapid fingers. She came hard. Her legs wrapped forcefully around Sachya's head. Small amounts of juices flowed out of her and into the dark haired girl's mouth. Her orgasm thundered and crashed like a vicious storm and struck every part of her being. Alua, euphorically, found nirvana in Sachya's lovemaking.

Minutes ticked by as the raging storm calmed and passed.

Sachya waited patiently between the Queen's contracted thighs to release her trapped head. Not that she minded though as her fingers trailed along Alua's hips and legs lightly as Alua's body went limp and numb with satisfaction.

Finally, Alua released her entangled hands from Sachya's long, dark hair, allowing the shifter to unbind her head from Alua's legs and rise and meet her glistening eyes.

Sachya slowly and carefully removed her fingers from Alua's orgasmed sex, watching as Alua sighed tenderly but regretfully, sad that it was over.

With so much conviction, Alua breathed, "I love you Sachya."

Sachya wiped her moistened brow, smiling sweetly. Fluidly, she lay beside Alua, her eyes so full of love and affection for the transfixing girl next to her.

"I love you too, Alua. The way you look… right now, I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life," Sachya whispered, to which Alua curled her lips with a sheepish contentment. She caressed Sachya's face and placed adoring kisses all around her pale, blue eyes. Time and space didn't seem to exist for the two girls. In that moment, the only thing that mattered was them, and only them, and the love they shared for one another.

They lay, enjoying each other's entwined hearts and bodies, smiling, touching and kissing for some time. They had no awareness of the world beyond their bedchamber because the most important thing in their own world rested right there in front of them.

Kat!

An echo. It lingered in the air like lazy clouds in the sky. Alua perked her ears slightly but she ignored it and the tingling feeling on her skin. Her mind was linearly made up to sexually outcompete Sachya's cunnilingus performance. She wanted Sachya to feel exactly what she just felt and more so.

"Alua, what are you doing?" Sachya asked affectionately as she watched Alua push herself up and on top of her with a determined stubbornness. Alua's legs were still shaky but she managed to straddle the beautiful dark haired girl who was looking up at her with one raised, amused eyebrow.

Kat!

Mischievously, Alua retorted, "What do you think I'm doing? Obviously, I am going to make love to you now because…dutifully, a Queen's work is never done." Her eyes trailed up and down Sachya, taking in the sight beneath her. Her mind rested on her partner's perfectly sized breasts still locked in their constraints. Above them, there was no ornate moon tattoo etched on her chest.

The foreign Eto girl smirked as Alua unclipped Sachya's bra from the front, releasing her gorgeous orbs.

"As you are mine, I am yours… my Queen," Sachya pledged, teasingly.

Alua glared lovingly, "Precisely. Now let me do what I've been waiting all day to do to you... my princess." Her mind succumbed to her desires easily. Alua closed her eyes briefly, mentally deciding on all the wonderful things she was about to do to Sachya.

Then suddenly...

Kat... Kat come back to me!

...Alua's memory vanished. In its place, Kat's world came crashing back down around her.

Continued in Epilogue...

Thanks for reading!

I didn't want to delay the chapter any longer so there will be a short epilogue chapter to wrap things up.
