Revelation
Daneel's and Xuan's lips parted after what felt like a long, long time.
In reality, though, it had only been a minute, and for that entire minute, the two hugged each other so tightly that it looked as if they had become one.
It was obvious that both were moving on pure instinct: their lips continued to hungrily devour the others', and the titillations that came from exploring something so incredible for the first time made it so that their minds continued to remain blank.
Even after the minute, they only parted because Xuan ran out of breath.
As Daneel was an apparition, he didn't need to breathe, but Xuan was in an extremely weakened state.
Even then, a Peak Warrior was supposed to be able to hold their breath for quite a long time, and that was why the two had managed to forget everything and have this precious experience.
