is?” He could barely speak as he searched her for understanding.
    Alicia nodded and closed her eyes.
    “Will you allow it? Do you want your water bonded to mine?” His chest rose and fell as if he’d run a marathon, and every inch of skin tingled with anticipation. He could feel Alicia’s thoughts as the meaning of the bond was revealed, and she parted her lids and looked into his eyes.
    “Yes. Bind us together.”
    He didn’t hesitate and used this point of contact with her hand to draw a bit of her water from her body into his. Likewise, he transferred a bit of his water into her, completing the second stage of the Ber-yh-ahnaal . “Ali—Alicia!”
    He was close, and he could feel her moving toward her own climax. When he released her hand, he gripped her hip again, pumping into her faster and with more force. Random contractions seemed to take over her body, and her vocalizations became louder. Each mewl, each grip of her hand, and each time she sucked in a breath pushed him further toward his point of no control.
    Not yet. Just hold it a little longer . He pulled himself from her and lifted her up with her knees around his waist. A quick turn allowed him to lower the top half of her body onto the tiled, built-in bench. He kneeled on the floor and held her thighs against his abdomen before he pressed into her and resumed his previous rhythm.
    After several long minutes, he pushed her legs down until her feet touched the floor, and he leaned forward over her. When his mouth found her nipple again, he reveled in the feeling of Alicia’s body as her back arched and her moans became even louder. The feel of her fingers weaving into his hair made his skin tingle, and he continued teasing her with his tongue as she held him against her breast.
    When he lifted his hand to her shoulder, he noticed a faint glow of bioluminescent light in various spots on his skin. The glowing areas extended up his arms, and they became symbols, pictographs in his native language. Alicia’s body began to mimic this glow with symbols that were the mirror images to his. It’s done; we’re together before Enki.
    The act of completing the Ber-yh-ahnaal began to overwhelm him as grunts and moans were released between his licking and sucking. Alicia’s head began to thrash back and forth, and her speech became a mixture of incoherent words and keening cries. Daniel lifted his head as he felt the beginnings of her climax and gritted his teeth in an effort to last through her release.
    Her muscles contracted and locked, her back remained arched, and her inner walls began to spasm rhythmically around him. Her mouth was open, but for a time no sound came out. She seemed to be in the midst of a silent scream as she gripped his forearms tight.
    Seeing her this way and feeling what he did was too much, Daniel stopped holding back and allowed her sensations to bring him to his own release. He swore in his native tongue, and he continued to pump into her at a frenetic pace.
    The symbols’ intensity increased during their orgasms, and they covered both of their bodies. As they began to calm, he looked down at Alicia while still inside her. He lifted a hand and traced a few of her symbols with his fingertips. “Beautiful.”
    He watched as she stared at the symbols covering her arms and chest. He followed her gaze as she looked down to find more pictographs on her legs. “We are bonded now.”
    Alicia looked at him with wide eyes, and he could feel her disbelief.
    “We will be able to speak this way as long as we are touching water or touching each other. You can communicate with me using your thoughts too. Don’t be afraid. Talk to me.”
    He felt a great deal of uncertainty within her for several moments, and he could feel her inner dialogue as she wondered what else a Leuk Ahnal was capable of. He released a breath of relief when she smiled up at him. He couldn’t wait to hear the first thought from her. “I love you so much, Daniel.”
    His
