Late at night, Jo arrived at Sebastian Fell’s (Sasha’s) beach house wearing the green dress from her earlier date with Van. Sebastian, in a Hawaiian shirt and swim trunks, opened the door and, while trying to stay neutral, revealed his attraction and concern through their telepathic link. Jo told Sebastian that things with Van would not work and admitted she wanted to be on that date with Sebastian instead.

On the steps, Jo openly stated she wanted something messy and complicated with Sebastian. Sebastian acknowledged the potential mess and complication but agreed, closing the distance to kiss her, and their thoughts collided like fireworks, revealing mutual jealousy, longing, and creative inspiration. He carried Jo inside and set her on the foyer sideboard, their mental link amplifying their desires and feelings.

They bantered lightly as their physical intimacy escalated, with Sebastian attentive to Jo’s responses and thoughts. He moved her to the living room couch, and after extended foreplay that highlighted their shared mental and emotional feedback, Jo experienced a cathartic release that eased months of internal tension.

Jo explored Sebastian’s scar and expressed a desire to know everything about him, reassuring him she would accept even the parts he feared she might not like. Sebastian reciprocated her affection and, after retrieving a condom, they had sex, with Jo feeling seen and cherished in specific details he noticed and appreciated about her.

As they moved together, Jo likened the experience to a slow dance with someone who knew her deeply, recognizing the harmony of their connection. The intimacy mirrored the feeling of their telepathic presence—balanced and supportive, not overpowering. Jo concluded that this moment was their song, and that it sounded like love.
