Chapter 207

Delta’s heart started to beat faster. She didn’t know why it had taken her so long to come up with the idea. To realize what she could do with a self-controlled, tangible shadow of herself.

Probably because she had more important things worry about. Trapped in a foreign room inside the d’Celestin palace, separated from her teammates, and in a current limbo of a situation, with no idea how things were going to progress, how to use her newest ability in a lewd way should be the last thing on her mind.

But at the same time, Delta was pent up from the day prior. Rosalie had been such a taskmaster the last shard that Delta had only gotten off once. And that’d been with the wall-pussy. Since even during the recharging sessions, Maddy had been the primary focus. While Delta had been plenty involved, she hadn’t actually gotten much ‘taking care of’ herself. She’d been perfectly fine with that: it’d been partly her choice. Teasing herself and delaying gratification was plenty of fun. But, like she’d said, it had left her pent up.

That fire reared its head again, abruptly, the rush of arousal nearly making her dizzy. She raked her eyes up and down her clone’s body in a whole new way. She had admired her curves once already, but this time, she admired them far, far less chastely.

She took in her clone’s body.

Her clone’s busty, fuckable body.

Again, briefly, she wondered whether lusting over herself was some form of egoism. She shrugged and didn’t think about it too hard.

Though ... she really did have more important things to be focusing on. Despite her excitement by the wonderful idea that had popped into her head, she was in an unknown scenario, separated from her teammates. Experimenting with her shadow should wait for later.

But impulse control had always been at the bottom of her list of virtues.

Maybe she would be fast about it?

Tackling problems with a clear head was for the best, anyway, right?

Look at that: she could even justify her inability to control herself.

Her breath started to come faster. Delta’s eyes flicked up and down her clone. The shadow stared back at her impassively. No emotion.

Gently, Delta stood and placed her hands on the woman’s hips. On her own hips. She crept upward slowly, sliding across her curves, before cupping two handfuls of the foxgirl’s breasts. Overtop firm leather armor, there wasn’t much give, but she gave a squeeze nonetheless.

The shadow shivered in response. Delta grinned at that. The shadow’s eyes had tracked her movements, earlier—it was autonomous to some degree. It reacted to stimuli. Stimuli like having her tits played with. Probably, she would react in all sorts of manners. Delta could control it manually, but also had some life of its own.

Which, of course, made her current idea even better.

“Let’s get this off you, yeah?” Delta murmured. “See how realistic you are underneath your clothes.”

Delta stepped back and plopped down onto the bed. If she were going to allow herself to get distracted, then she might as well practice controlling the ability, right? As she’d already noted, she might need it during her escape.

Seizing control of the woman’s limbs, she went through the motions of stripping her armor off. It required a surprising amount of dexterity when performing the actions through a remote body. But slowly, loops, buckles, and straps came undone, one by one, until Delta had stripped her clone down to her plainclothes.

Grabbing the hem of her shirt—with her shadow’s hands, the real Delta simply leaning back and enjoying the show—she edged the fabric up. A tight, muscled stomach was revealed inch by inch. Delta leaned forward and placed her real hand against it, feeling the soft skin of her own abs there. The shadow flesh felt identical to the real thing, which boded well for other aspects of the clone’s body. She shivered in excitement.

She peeled the shadow’s shirt off the rest of the way, impatiently using her actual hands, then unhooked the girl’s bra and tossed that aside, too. Delta drank in the sight of her clone’s naked breasts, full and round with perky nipples. She palmed them, giving a squeeze, watching the shadow’s chest rise and fall as her breathing grew faster with arousal.

“Fuck, I’m hot,” Delta half-laughed, half-breathed, leaning in to claim one stiff peak with her lips, not caring how narcissistic the words sounded. Besides, it was a thought she’d had once before, back when she’d been piloting Zoey’s body—and thoroughly fucking herself. This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.

In response to Delta’s touch, the shadow shuddered in pleasure. Delta pushed outward with her mind, controlling the woman’s motions, having her run fingers through Delta’s own hair in encouragement. She swirled her tongue around the rigid bud as she continued groping with her other hand.

It was surreal, being on both the giving and receiving end. She could feel the ghostly sensations of her touch against the shadow’s skin run through her own body as she lavished attention onto her. She released the clone’s nipple to duck lower and trail open-mouthed kisses down her flat belly. Hooking her fingers around shadowy underwear, she tugged, revealing a smooth mound. Unsurprisingly, her pussy was a perfect mirror image too.
