As soon as he saw Shannon obey him, Eli moved so that he was sprawled next to him on the bed. He didn't stay still for long though, immediately reaching for one of his hands and turning it around so that he can kiss his wrist. "Very good," he murmured softly into his skin. "You may now move your hands. I would like you to sit up for me."

Once he sees Shannon comply, he moves to sit behind him, his chest pressed up against Shannon's back. He closed his eyes for a moment and just felt, allowing himself to feel the electricity flowing through Shannon's body for the first time since they started. Sure, Shannon may have been the Aspect of fire, but he was still human and had the same electrical impulses everyone else did. Of course, that meant that Eli had to be careful with what he was about to do, but he had the control and knew to not push too hard. He moved his arms to wrap around Shannon's body, his right arm positioned upwards so that his hand could curl around his neck loosely.

Shannon wanted him to touch him, so Eli was just going to give him what he wanted. He reached out to the nerves hidden under the surface and manipulated them to feel only one thing: touch. Soft, gentle touches seemed to spread out down from his neck and onto his chest. For now, he wasn't going to cover anymore, but that was enough to start with.
