Marooned on a jungle planet, Jack daily thanked providence for his only sentient companion, a telepathic shapeshifter named Luna. She was another castaway on this beautiful paradise of a world and after a chance meeting they became inseparable. They spent their days foraging and exploring the jungle, discovering hidden waterfalls and rushing streams, vibrant flora and exotic fauna, all against the backdrop of a variety of midnight-green to burgundy colored trees under a bluish-purple sky. The evenings were filled sharing stories of their home worlds and their backgrounds, and simply enjoying each other's company.
With the help of her telepathic abilities, Luna quickly learned English with a native-like proficiency, speaking it if her current shape possessed the necessary vocal equipment or projecting the words with her mind if not. She taught Jack how to make his thoughts available to her, allowing both of them to communicate telepathically. With no language barrier, their companionship quickly grew into a deep emotional bond. Their physical bond grew as well.
It began with a strong visual attraction. Clothing wasn't functional on a shapeshifter and over time Jack's had been worn threadbare and discarded. Being naked made it easier for Luna to appreciate Jack's trim well-muscled body, and Jack to appreciate whatever shape Luna had assumed.
Casual touches, a hand on an arm or a gentle touch on the back quickly wore down tactile barriers. Quick hugs turned into lingering embraces. An accidentally discovered ticklish reaction turned to tickling matches, which turned to playful grappling, and then to intense, but always friendly wrestling matches.
Cuddling under the stars turned into exploration, arousal, desire and ultimately, surrender. Whether cuddling, wrestling or making love, the feeling of their bodies pressed against each other always a delighted both of them.
Luna especially liked their wrestling matches. She loved anytime she could restrain him and feel his struggles against whatever shape she assumed, whether it was human, animal, alien or just some mythical creature she conjured up for the contest. The friendly competition and exercise would have been enough to make it worthwhile, but she enjoyed it in a way she didn't let on.

One afternoon, after a successful day of foraging, they stopped in a clearing to relax and bathe in the warm glow of the descending sun. After a brief rest, Luna, in the form of a short, stocky, grey, non-descript humanoid, turned to Jack with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Wanna wrestle?" she asked, her telepathic voice tinged with excitement.
Smiling, Jack nodded, "Sure."
"What would you like me to become?"
"Would you be interested in trying something new? Would you indulge me in an old fantasy?"
"If I can. What do you have in mind?" Luna replied, tilting her head in curiosity.
"Ever since I watched jungle movies as a kid, I've always wanted to try wrestling a snake, a big one. I know it's not realistic; real snakes are powerful animals, way too dangerous to mess with," he said, his eyes sparkling with the thought. He formed an image of a large constrictor in his mind and projected it to her, demonstrating how it attacked and overpowered its prey. He continued, finishing his thought, "but I've always thought that wrestling with one that wasn't actually trying to kill me would be fun."
Luna laughed, her melodious voice echoing in his mind. "I thought you were going to ask for something difficult. That'll be easy." With that, her body condensed into a churning blob, absorbing her head and limbs. After a moment, the blob elongated, forming the shape of the massive, twenty-foot python from his mental image. "Is that big enough?" she asked, her voice now a seductive whisper in his mind.
"Yes, but could you make it a bit thinner? I'd like your body to be a little sleeker, so I can get ahold of you with one hand anywhere along your length."
The snake's body thinned, and she asked, "How's that?"
"That's perfect.
"What do you want me to do?
"The idea is for you to try and get me in your grasp, then wrap around me and squeeze while I try to wrestle you off. No biting allowed, though. I don't want puncture wounds."
"You're no fun!" she chuckled. "Is there an end goal?" she asked as she flexed, stretched and undulated, fine tuning her movements in her new form.
"We'll figure it out as we go. How do you want to start?"
Without warning, Luna coiled her body, reared back, and sprang at Jack's head. He deflected the strike, but her momentum carried the first four feet of her body over his right shoulder. He tried to pull her off, but she gripped it with a half coil and started looping her body under his arm, across his back, around the other side and rolled a coil up towards his head. He pushed it away repeatedly, keeping it from reaching his head or encircling him, but it kept him occupied while she brought the front of her body up his back and snaked tightly around his neck. He shifted his attention to the new coil and grabbed it, preventing her from choking him, but in the process, lost control of the one she was now wrapping around his waist.
She completed the coil and wrapped two more around his legs. As he worked on loosening the coil around his neck, she relaxed the grip on his waist and pulled the coil higher, retightening it around his midsection. Facing the dilemma of two simultaneous threats, he divided his attention. He gripped her just behind her head and started unwinding her from his neck while pushing at the lower coil with his other hand and forearm to prevent her from getting it any higher on his chest.
She inch-wormed the rest of her coils higher, moving them from his legs to encircle his stomach and waist, and finished by looping the rest of her tail around his thigh. Using that as an anchor, she started squeezing his abdomen with her body in an ever-tightening spiral. Grunting with effort, he succeeded in pulling her off his neck and pried her off his shoulder, but when he slipped his arms under the next coil to lever it away from his body, she shifted her grip and quickly snaked around his chest. With his arms pinned to his torso he struggled and squirmed, gasping for breath as she squeezed tighter and tighter.
Using all his strength in a desperate move, he arced his arms out and up, managing to slip the coil up, over his shoulders and head, momentarily freeing his upper body. He started working on the next coil, but she was ready. Slightly relaxing her hold, she allowed him to get both arms underneath it as he tried to repeat the maneuver. This time she clamped down, holding his arms while she snaked the front of her body around his chest, reestablishing her earlier hold and more. Breathing became more difficult by the second as she continued tightening her grip around his chest.
Pushing against the coils on his chest with his trapped arms he was able to relieve enough pressure to get a few gasping breaths, but he was still running short of air. Fatigue set in, and with the need to breath becoming urgent, he mentally conceded, thinking, "You win," and slumped to the ground.
Luna, delighted as always by the rough play maintained her hold. Satisfied that her head was behind Jack, out of his view she closed her eyes, partially opened her mouth and tilted her head back in extasy as waves of sexual pleasure coursed through her.
He thought, a with bit of urgency, "Luna, take it easy, I need to breath!"
She thought her reply with a hint of mischief, "I'll let go when you stop struggling." He did and she relaxed her grip, the waves of pleasure subsiding. She laughed as she began unwinding from his body. "That was fun. You put up a pretty good fight."
"Remember, I said 'not actually trying to kill me'."
"Sorry. I guess I didn't realize how formidable that form was until I tried it. Wanna go again?"
Rapidly panting at first, then slowing his respiration, taking several deep breaths he answered, "I'd love to. Give me a couple of minutes to catch my breath and get my strength back, and I'll try and give you a better effort."
"Sounds good. I won't squeeze so hard this time. I'll make it more even, so you'll be able to resist longer," And added, just to herself,
