Round 8 Transcript

Jeane felt her lover’s fingers tracing the curve of her hip, and it was like fire meeting water—the heat in Silra’s touch evaporated any last defenses Jeane had against this feeling. She turned to face Silra fully, her wings extending slightly for balance as she moved, the leathery membranes catching moonlight that spilled across their bedroom. “Memorized,” she echoed, voice low and rich with meaning. “I don’t think I could forget a single detail of you if I tried.” Her own hands came up to frame Silra’s face, thumbs brushing along cheekbones that seemed sculpted from moonlight itself. “But memorizing is for scholars and monks—what I want,” Jeane leaned closer until her breath ghosted over Silra’s lips, “is to experience every inch of you until the sensation becomes part of me.”

Her eyes held a promise as dark and deep as the ocean at night—a promise she intended to keep. One hand slid down from Silra’s face to trail along her collarbone, fingers light enough to be barely felt until they reached the swell of her breast. Jeane cupped it gently through the fabric, thumb finding the nipple and circling it slowly, deliberately.
