Ecstasy is when you physical & emotional reaches a new height of euphoria. That connection is felt in your mind as well as your body. You feel it in the top of your head, in the tips of your fingers, in the palm of your hands. The waves of pleasure reverberates down your legs and can be felt in the tips of your toes to the soles of your feet. The point of connection is not just physical, it's mental. Cerebral even. People believe only love is required to make love. But true "lovemaking" not only requires love . It requires ecstasy. For Shane and Ilya, in this moment, once love has been openly declared. Once all barriers between them emotionally , and I would presume physically , meaning probably there first time without condoms", they finally get to experience a new level of intimacy . Ecstasy . This explains Shane almost not knowing where to touch, as he is lost in pleasure. It also explains the "Love Drunk" look of Ilya in this moment.
