Ash
I'm breathing hard as I walk down the alley way that will lead me to the portal back to my world. My cock is so hard and ready it's painful. It was all I could do not to just rip off those tight little jeans, prop her up on the driver's wheel, and fuck her.
"Christ," I whisper, reaching down to adjust. I'm tempted to turn around, walk back to the building her innocent ass sashayed into, and break down her door. She wouldn't be able to say no to me. Don't get me wrong- I don't force women. I've never had to. By the time I've spun her panic into lust she'll be confused, then conflicted, and then desperate. I've done it a thousand times.
What I want to do to her is very different from what I'm supposed to do to her- kill her. Although usually I have no compunctions, the idea of killing her repulses me. I shiver at the idea of the light in her eyes going cold and dead.
Instead, I imagine her eyes lowered, on her knees...
"Christ!" I repeat, shaking my head to dispel the fantasy as I begin the ritual spell that will open the gateway for me.
I am navigating through the drift now. It is a misty space, full of twirling fog that shimmers, laced with flickers of silver, shining greys, and pure whites. For the untrained, this place is death. You need to know where you are going.
The whisps of fog slide around my legs as I think, with single-minded focus, about where I am trying to go. I think about the dark landscapes, lush gardens, and my own rooms that lie within that world. I feel the mists begin to push me in a direction, so subtly that the untrained would miss it.
I feel a familiar sense of spacial distortion. It feels like falling, like losing orientation, unsure of where is up and where is down. I don't try to breathe- I know there is no oxygen. I close my eyes and feel the mists drift past my closed lids and caress my skin like a thousand soft fingers.
Then, there is a re-orientation. My feet feel the firm ground beneath them. I open my eyes to see a familiar sight. My kingdom. I breathe deeply, inhaling the warm, humid air that is scented from the lush flowers and jungle that surrounds my home. Relieved to be able to drop the stiff clumsy walk of humans, I glide forward, anticipating all of the comforts of my home.
My home is built into the side of a cliff, and its caverns stretch as far below the earth as they do into the sky. I perform another ritual spell at the entrance, a gigantic door that blends in with the mossy rock face of the cliff. The charmed locks slide back like butter at my command and the doors swing forward. My home is eager to receive me, it's master.
The heat intensifies as I walk through the grand hallway. As usual, it is full of people, half of whom I don't even know. They fall quiet as I pass them, but I pay them no mind, bent on one goal only.
In the crowd I spot one of my servants, a strange little man who has grass for hair. No one is clear on where exactly his talents lie, if he has any, but he is very respectful of authority and rather timid, both things that are unusual in my culture and things I value in a servant.
"Tip!" I don't have to shout his name loudly. My voice has a tendency to carry well in a room. His head snaps up, and he reaches up with a wooden looking arm to brush some moss and grass that hangs over his eyes in order to see me better. Slowly and with creaking steps, he makes his way over to me.
"M'lord?" his brown dew-drop eyes are wide and afraid.
"Fetch Lietta. Send her to my rooms." Without waiting for him to respond, I turn and wait for the crowd to part before striding towards the stairs. They take me deep, deep, into the earth, so far that the heat turns to cold and the loamy dirt walls become stone.
The entire bottom floor is my private domain. Servants and guests are only allowed there with my express permission. My rooms have a far more ancient feel than the garish gold and overstated carvings that grace the upper floors and cliff rooms. Runes are carved all over the floor and walls, some of them to protect me, others to be commanded by me, and others too old to understand.
As I walk, great stones slide away to reveal my private chamber. I leave it open behind me, knowing that Lietta will soon be here. Firelight throws flickering light onto the carved stone walls of the cavernous room and lights up the silken textures of my bed. I step closer to the huge fire that burns in the alcove carved into the wall and take off my shirt, which is still wet from the rains in that human world. I find myself thinking once again of the way that girl's dampened hair stuck to her face, those full lips that I wanted to kiss, to fuck-
"My lord?" the low, feminine voice is shy.
I turn around to see Lietta standing by the doorway, her head bowed subserviently. I know very well that her timidity is an act to arouse me- for her to play the blushing maid, resistant, like that girl from earlier today, trying to push me away even though her body yearned for me to claim it- stop thinking about her- she will be dead soon.
