Amy closed her eyes and allowed the misty breezes of the waterfall to cool her flushing face.
The conscious position of being in Shadow's arms, the mere thought of it all, made her emotions run wild with a passion that only she and her dark companion recognized. There they were, trailing across the pool of clear, reflective water, both of their energy rising to an extreme level as Shadow slowly walked towards the mysterious cavern.
The couple made their way through the overpowering waterfall, but it didn't have the touch of one of those dominant waterfalls. Instead, it felt weightless. Light and relieving, the water fell upon them and had wet them more. It didn't bother them one bit.
Amy had the sensation that she was floating in the air, allowing and embracing the waterfall to shower her spirit with daydreams.
Shadow on the other hand, never liked to get wet, and despised the mere thought of swimming as best he could. But having his princess in his arms made the effort completely worth it.
Looking down at her face made him feel like he saved a sweet angel with broken wings.
Entering a dark but dry cavern, both of their spirits contained a desire ignited with forbidden fantasies and imagination all aglow.
As Shadow stepped into the cave, he noticed something that was…peculiar about this place. The ceiling wasn't made of limestone, granite, or any of the ordinary elements relative to a cave.
In place, he beheld a pearly substance covering the cave from head to toe. And what was more interesting, it gave off a shimmering glow and penetrated around the entrance like a silver halo.
"Shadow, what is this place?"
He glanced at Amy's stunned expression in confusion although he was certain that he had seen this material before in his memories.
The dark prince set down the rose princess on the cave floor and further surveyed the surroundings. Suddenly he saw something that made his mind go off like an alarm clock: gold dust.
Bending down to take a closer look, he was unfortunately interrupted by a sneeze, blowing the gold dust away to his dismay.
"AAA-CHOO!"
Amy heard his sneeze and looked at his condition. She knew that he would get a cold if he stays in those wet clothes.
"Oh now look! You're already sneezing and you know that I don't want you to get sick." Amy harped.
"It's alright. As soon as I get dry the -AAA-CHOOO!" Shadow replied with false sincerity.
The pink hedgehog approached the stubborn prince, meeting her eyes close to his fiery ones.
"Nonsense, Shadow. You need to shed off those garments so that you wouldn't be colder -"
"Look Amy, I'll be fine. Just leave the clothes -"
"It's alright, just - Look you! If you don't want to take them off, I'll take them off for you. Now then...hold still so I can do this! Just let me take off your shirt…"
Amy started on unbuttoning his damp white shirt, gradually getting lower.
The feeling of Amy's soft hands slightly touching his torso made his mind go wild with agony. Shadow's shoulders relaxed when Amy slowly disrobed his shirt off of him. He was a bit uneasy as to what his next thoughts will be which he knew will be anything other than innocent.
As she took off his shirt, she realized that her eyes are getting a full on view of his naked chest, breathing with the life and vigor that it had always lived for. Amy's heart was beating to the same rate of Sonic's speed, just by the palpable fact that she was blushing at her body being closer to his. She felt something stir inside her, something unknown and titillating at the same time...
Her eyes finally came up only to find that his eyes were staring straight into her soul, like they knew what she was thinking about and what she wanted to do right now.
Unconsciously, Shadow's arms climbed up to her waist, with Amy shuddering at the exciting comfort of his touch. His hands slowly shaped her hips and curves, caressing them to his mental taste. The beast inside growled in pleasure; happy that it got what it wanted all of its miserable time.
It was as though her conscious soul left her, no longer heeding to her mind. Now it came in full command of what her love vessel told her. The fire burned terribly, pleading, begging for what her devilish knight was to do next.
"Shadow…Shadow," Amy whispered in a daze.
Almost immediately, Shadow trailed his lips down her neck, giving her what she thought was the most wonderful massage that she could ever receive. Amy wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to urge him to pursue deeper so as to feed more ecstasy to intensify their little moment.
Suddenly, he stopped. Turning his gaze towards Amy, he fell enamored with her eyes, her emerald irises glimmering to the sparkle of the gold dust. The appearance of it all made him more lustful.
Their lips crashed upon each other in a mad frenzy, both of them embraced close to each other. The couple fell to the cavern floor, unaware of the apparent dampness from the loud waterfall. Shadow reached to pet her soft hair, whilst Amy held onto his back.
Gasping in between to catch their breath, their kiss grew deeper as the passion rose to the top. Shadow greedily inhaled her jasmine perfume that made his senses very sharp. Amy wished that this feeling would never go away; hoping that the moment would last forever.
"Shadow...Shadow…" she repeated, further encouraging his mindset to explore this feeling to a point of desired satisfaction.
When they broke apart, Shadow was on top of Amy. The heat insulated in the mist and air. Heavy breathing was the only sound that penetrated the silent setting, the only movement the rushing waterfall behind them.
As Shadow stared deep into her eyes, he discovered that the beast had disappeared. It had got what it wanted, so why couldn't it do its job?
The feeling was still the same, but Shadow's consciousness came back to his head. Normally he would stop this occurrence, but he realized that it wasn't lust anymore. The emotion of course remained, but it came into a deeper, more meaningful significance than it ever had before. He entered a new level where he was in love with Amy even more, but to a degree where he cherished her soul and never wanted to let her go. This feeling, he knows there was no lust after all. Now he knows he was actually making love.
"Amy…why do you torment me so…?" Shadow muttered and cupped her chin in his hand.
Amy giggled in response, knowing that Shadow finally revealed his true feelings for her, as she had done for him. The princess was glad that this relationship will be taken to a more intimate role.
Closing in to kiss him again, Amy felt the sleeve of her under dress slip off her right shoulder by itself.
She blushed as she noticed this. However, she hesitated to pull it back up. Shadow noticed this also, and a devilish look grew on his face, smiling with mischief.
The princess was confused as to why he was looking like that, almost asking him a question out of curiosity. But soon her eyes widened as she got the point, and she also smiled seductively along with him. Amy's hands trembled, her body becoming weak and submissive to Shadow's hands as he slowly slid off the other sleeve of her under dress…
Well...you know what happens after that, let me put it that way. Anyway, let's leave these lovebirds alone and get on with the story!
