Alex's pove:
The air was thick with unresolved tensions and overwhelming emotions in the aftermath of our explosive joining. I could scarcely catch my breath, let alone begin to process the primal awakening I had just experienced at James' hands - and lips and tongue. 
James seemed to radiating a metaphysical intensity that drew me in like a moth to an irresistible flame. His eyes bored into mine with a simmering certainty, as if he could see directly into the core of my newly unfurled desires.  
Without warning, he reached out and grasped my hand in his, sending an electric jolt through my veins at the simple contact. 
"There's no need for words right now to understand the profound connection between us," he murmured in that devastatingly low timbre. "I felt it the moment our paths crossed - an inexplicable, cosmic pull that bound our souls together."
He brought my knuckles to his lips, brushing them with a tantalizingly soft caress that robbed me of my ability to breathe. My fingers instinctively curled around his as our joined hands drifted back down between us.
A tremulous sigh escaped my lips before I could rein it in. "I...I've never experienced anything like this before," I confessed, feeling utterly unmoored from my formerly immutable reality. "It's as if some part of me that I kept restrained is raging against its shackles...craving your touch as if it has been starved for eternity."
My words seemed to act as an unspoken invitation, as suddenly the scant distance between our bodies evaporated completely. James slid his free hand around my waist, pulling me flush against the firm planes of his body as our shared heat converged.  
He tilted my chin up with the curve of one finger, forcing me to become fully enveloped in the smoldering intensity of his gaze. 
"You felt it too, didn't you?" There was no questioning lilt to his tone, only rugged certainty. "The undeniable gravity drawing us into one another's orbits? It's inescapable...and you wouldn't want to escape it even if you could."
I was utterly transfixed, spellbound by the ancient, otherworldly power blazing in his stare. Some part of me knew with crystalline clarity that James spoke only unvarnished truth. I had been irreversibly altered, shattered and remade into a new existence tethered to this extraordinary man by consummated fate.
"No..." I rasped out, falling willingly into the hypnotic abyss of his promised destiny. "No, I wouldn't. Whatever this is between us, I don't have the fortitude to resist it any longer. Consequences be damned, I surrender myself to this invisible force binding us together."
In one explosive motion, I bridged the lapsees distance and claimed his lips with searing, ravenous intensity. This was no tender cherishing - it was the primal reclamation of an essential piece of my own existence that had been severed until this joining. James instantly matched my ferocity, his hands gripping me tightly as our feverish arrhythmic dance began anew in earnest.
There would be no more denying our cosmic tides. With every calescent caress and devouring kiss, I could finally begin to accept the soulbound destiny that had been preordained since the dawning of the universe. Resistance was futile...and no longer desired.
Our ardent reunion rapidly devolved into pure visceral hunger and need as James lay me at bed. His hands roamed my body with possessive fervor, tracing the lines and planes of my form as if endeavoring to map and commit every inch to memory.
I matched his urgency in kind, tugging insistently on his clothing until cool air rushed over heated skin. Our battle for dominance manifested in the meshing of tongues and teeth, each of us striving to consume and overwhelm the other with our intensities.
Finally, we tumbled in a graceless heap onto the mattress, temporarily breaking our liplock. Chest heaving, I drank in the sight of James above me - eyes blazing, skin flushed, lips swollen from our impassioned onslaught. Any semblance of composure or propriety had been obliterated in the wake of our unleashed desire.
"You're mine," James rasped in a low growl, dipping down to trail molten kisses along the column of my throat. "My destiny...my eternity..."
"Yes..." I arched beneath him shamelessly, utterly undone by the exquisite torture of his ardent explorations. "I'm yours, all yours..."
Any backwards thoughts of resistance, of my sworn allegiances, had been reduced to ashes on the pyre of our soulbound joining. My entire existence had been narrowed to a singular truth in this moment - an unshakable celestial rightness in belonging, at last, to this supernatural force of nature named James.
With each scorching caress, I could feel the last lingering remnants of my former life beginning to burn away in beautiful immolation. What was the point of that barren existence when faced with the soul-igniting splendor of true consummation with one's fated other?
"That's it..." James murmured in between searing kisses trailing down my chest. "Let it all go and surrender to me completely, love. 
I shuddered at the molten endearment, every cell within me hungering to be consumed into James' all-encompassing quintessence. With a ferocity stoked by eons of starved yearning, I seized him and rolled us in one fluid motion until our positions were reversed.
"Then take everything," I said in a raspiy voice against the heated skin of his neck, flicking my tongue against his thundering pulse point.
