They had connected almost immediately. The conversation was always so relaxed and comfortable and it seemed to flow so smoothly, like a river running down a steady slope. Nothing ever got in the way. If a rock appeared, the river simply diverted and flowed around it to merge again on the other side as if nothing had happened.
They had both said multiple times that it was almost like magic that they had found each other at all. They talked and shared and flirted with each other as if they had known each other for years instead of only a few weeks.
And, although it seemed perfect, there was that little problem of living in different time zones. She was always ahead and he was always behind. She was going to bed while he was getting up. He was going to bed while she was in the middle of her workday.
They left messages for each other and got them when they were able. They continued to communicate and talk and make each other laugh and smile and yes, even excite each other occasionally.
There were the few times that they could talk simultaneously, those odd, rare times of day when things aligned and they were both free to talk in real time, but they were still not truly together.
Even when they were both amorous and interested, she was in bed, thinking of him, her hands pretending to be his, running over her body, feeling the sweet curves and the sweat that was building on her skin. Stimulating herself in all sorts of pleasurable ways.
While he was just arriving at the office, not able to touch himself or react properly to her ever-increasing frantic messages of desire.
It was both amazing and frustrating at the same time. They both wanted a single moment where everything was working and on the same page. Where they could talk and share and flirt and arouse and stimulate and laugh...together.
But the world didn't work that way and things weren't always so cut and dry. Not to mention, Fate could be a cruel wench.

After weeks of talking and building their connection and realizing that they would be incredible together if only they could get past the fact that they were always going to be twelve hours apart. Even if they were in the same room, she would always be there ahead of him and have to leave before he could catch up. So close and as far apart as ever. Always together and always out of sync, until... one day.

It was one of those wonderful moments where she had woken up in the middle of her night and he was just getting home from work. She reached out and he was able to respond. They talked and teased and shared and were in the process of making each other's day incredibly special, as they wanted to do.
For the millionth time, he lamented how amazing it would be to be there, with her. To crawl into bed next to her. To snuggle into her and feel her body respond to him. His hands running over her bare skin. His lips tasting her body. Just her bare shoulder or her neck or even those lips that he had fantasized about.
She observed that feeling him harden against her backside and feeling his hands caress her body would be more exquisite than any words she could find in her half-awake state at the moment.
They were both imagining being together so strongly and in such intimate detail at that exact moment, that they didn't realize that things were changing around them.
This was the day of the predicted solar eclipse. A full eclipse of the Sun that hadn't happened for a hundred years and wasn't predicted to happen again for another hundred. Even though it was happening out over the ocean, neither of them could see it, but they had been hearing about it in the news for weeks.
At this moment, as the Moon started to eclipse the Sun, darkness started to fall on the exact midpoint of the Earth between the two of them.
Unknown to them, the distance between them started to lessen, drawing them closer together.
They continued to talk, telling each other how they were feeling and what they would do if only they could touch each other.
Their play was taking on a different feel than it ever had before. It was somehow stronger and more effective in stimulating each other. Their breathing got faster and they both started to get more excited than they had ever done before.
His penis was getting harder than he had ever felt it grow in his hand as he stroked and thought of her laying there on the other side of the world, almost naked with her body glistening and her hands between her thighs touching her where he had only fantasized about for months now.
Her pussy was getting wetter and more sensitive as her fingers delved deep inside, imagining his hard cock entering her and taking their place, filling her like she hadn't been filled for years. She was lying on her back, her feet planted apart and her legs bent, making her open as much as possible, her hips lifting as if meeting him and trying to swallow him inside of her body, welcoming him home.
As the eclipse continued, the distance between them got shorter and shorter, and their time difference shrunk.
They were both oblivious to what was happening, so entranced were they with each other's words and voices describing their actions.
Their eyes were both closed and they were concentrating on capturing that fleeting feeling of climax that they both craved so desperately.
