"What?" He said, head forward, arms wide.

"Anyway, look, we're here know, so why don't I just show you what I have to show you, you can make whatever decisions you have to make and we can get off this stupid train."

She tightened her lips into a snarl, determined to have her say. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, when she opened them, he was leaning across the table towards her reaching for her hand. She tried to pull away but he was quicker. His hands were soft, gentle and very strong. Her anger melted away, his affection was what she wanted, not a pointless, evasive riddle about where she was meant to be. Deep in her loins a feeling like light, blossomed, releasing a desire that made her rise from her seat and reach for him. She pulled his mouth onto hers and they kissed hard. Her skin became alive to every touch, even her clothes, the constriction of her bra, the cotton stroke of her blouse, even the metallic rustle of her tights radiated waves of pleasure that swept up her calfs and thighs, gathered itself at the front of her pelvis, before rippling up her torso and back, across her breasts and over her head. She gasped in the midst of their kiss, when she pressed her lips back against his, light poured across their union, joining that which was rising from her groin. It filled her, sparkling, internally blinding, from her curled toes to the hair at top of her head, that his hand was now closed tightly in. The light resolved it's self into a star field of uncountable points and swirls of colour, the milky way stretched above her and she found her self gazing down at the Earth, somehow able to wholly experience the presence, fragility and vitality of the life the abounded there. She floated free, moved quickly on, there were more solar systems, more life, the galaxy swarmed with it, a billion stars, untold planets, clouds of consciousness. Now she was high above the disk of Andromeda, it's deafening life chatter streaming away from its luminous swirl caressing her, stimulating her, enfolding her in a vertiginous tangle of amazement and sexual energy. She swept further out, watching the galaxies of the Local Group coalesce into the splendour of the Virgo Super Cluster. In moments she scaled the billion light year, galaxy spattered towers of the of the Great Wall and pressed on into the unnamed, unnumbered, unguessed reaches beyond any earthly eye. She passed into a realm of darkness then gazed back in wonder at a view of the entire home universe. It sparkled like fairy dust, twisted in filigree patterns and curls. From her vantage point she could feel the presence of other elements, higher levels of existence, greater dimensions, intelligence and life she never hope to experience with out the help of the man she was pulling to her face.

"Ready" he said, into her mouth.

"Yes." she gasped. For a tiny moment he showed her all there was. She couldn't hope to take it all in, her senses and experience were tied to a terrestrial framework, but in the brief glimpse she saw universae more numerous than atoms in her own, felt the endless curves and swathes of dimension and baulk, inter and outer mingled, curled up tight within, enveloping all without. The aggregate summation of all consciousness seemed to reach into her and let her feel the joy that it felt just to be alive, just to able see what it could see, to simply love and It was, full of love. Tears rolled from her eyes.

"Beautiful." She Sighed.

Overwhelmed by what she was experiencing, her body spasmed from deep in her pelvis. Swamped by a tsunami of pleasure she cried out, a primal scream of sexual fulfilment and cosmic wonder. He knees buckled and she clung to him, her face pressed into chest, as the tidal wave orgasm ebbed and flowed through her. In that moment she was lost, unknown, even to her self. Swept away on an ocean of sublime happiness and contentment. Detached from time and place she drifted on waves of unseen colour and unheard sound and felt truly free. For a long time she couldn't remember her name but as the flood receded and the parts of her personality began to reveal themselves, she felt herself reconnect to the real world.
