Liora and Amasis tumbled backwards and landed on the dusty floor, him on his back and her sprawled on his chest. They both lay still for a few seconds, their hard, uneven breath the only sound in the isolated chamber, before Liora dipped her mouth down to his.
Amasis kissed her back with intensity, using one hand to hold the back of her head so he crushed their mouths together. Their tongues tangled, drawing unchained sounds from deep within them as they put every moment of pain, anger, and fear of losing each other into their kiss. She felt his hands come to the backs of her thighs and pull her forward, causing her to straddle his hips. The skirt of her dress caught and he reached down to gather it out of the way so she could settle onto him.
Her core cradled against a surging erection and she rocked her hips against it, her lack of panties allowing her to feel the friction of his soft pants against her body. She knew he could feel her wet heat through the fabric and she pushed down harder, coaxing him to touch her.
Amasis whisked the dress the rest of the way off of her body, exposing her completely to him. He moaned and reached up to cup her breasts, filling his hands with them and kneading his fingers into the supple flesh. In one movement, he sat up, wrapped one arm around her hips, and flipped Liora onto her back so that she landed on her discarded dress.
The sun was completely set now but she could see him in the light from the moon flowing into the pyramid as he sat back on his heels and untied his pants again. Once they were loose, he raised up and pushed them off, kicking them aside so that there was no longer anything between them. Liora reached for him and Amasis came forward over her, catching himself with his hands on either side of her shoulders so that he could kiss her before pushing back onto his knees again.
She complied with the fast guidance of his hands as he pushed her legs apart, positioning them on either side of his. He grabbed her thighs and pulled her forward so that her hips lifted slightly off the ground. Suddenly he was inside her and Liora cried out with the fullness of him burying himself deep within her body.
He didn't pause, but withdrew slightly and slammed back into her, bringing another sharp cry to her lips. The sounds seemed to spur him forward and Amasis held onto her hips for leverage as he thrust into her so hard and fast she felt like she could barely catch her breath. The feeling of him stretching her walls, plunging further than she thought possible, was glorious. She clung to his arms, digging her nails into her skin as he arched back, roaring with release and bringing his hand between them so he could touch her. The combination of his thumb swirling into her swollen, aching bud and the pulsing of his cock within her sent Liora crashing over the edge and she gasped, breathless at the intensity of the climax that milked him.
When their bodies finally relaxed, Liora straightened her legs and opened her arms so that Amasis could rest down on top of her. He buried his head in the crook of her neck and trailed lazy kisses along her skin.
"I thought my light had gone out forever," he whispered against her.
She felt tears threatening her eyes and she cuddled him closer to her, desperate to feel his skin on every inch of her.
"Never," she whispered back.
"I could feel you so close. It was almost like you were just on the other side of the wall."
"How did you know how to find me?"
"I could hear the chisel against the stone and I followed it until I got here. Every time you hit the wall, it sent a little spark of light in here to me. I knew you were there."
"When you engraved the symbols back to me, they were glowing."
Amasis raised his head and looked down at her.
"I don't think we will ever be able to use the connector transport again," he said, a hint of hesitation in his voice, "It only worked when we needed to get to each other. I think Seker planned it that way when he sealed it. He foretold this in that message. We are the civility, the union he dreamed of for our species."
"I don't want to use it again," she reassured him, touching a kiss to his lips and feeling his erection pulse back to life. She smiled and ran her tongue along his bottom lip, easing her thighs apart to welcome him, "I want to be right here with you. I need you."
Liora sighed as Amasis sank into her smoothly and slowly, taking his time so that she felt him intensely as he stroked across every inch of her. As frantically as he had moved before, he moved tenderly now, using his whole body to envelope hers and kissing her languidly as he rolled his hips against her.
Liora wrapped her arms around him and held him close, returning his kiss softly. Her body held him closer, fitting around him as though she was made for him. She smiled as she shifted her hips, sending him deeper and eliciting a groan of appreciation. At that moment, she knew she was safe and that she no longer had anything to fear about the darkness. She had her own moonlight to protect her and guide her way.
