The incubus walked down the dark streets, highly comfortable in his human body. His dark, casual suit seemed to meld with the steely muscles of his body. Sniffing the air, he was seeking a woman to seduce and take for his own. He caught scent of one, and his blue eyes glowed momentarily, his long black tail cracking behind him before fading out of sight. He started off in her direction, preparing his dominating charm.

Bella walked out of the restaurant, trying to control her raging emotions. That's the third time he's set me up for a date, and did a no show! She thought angrily. Tears glittering in her eyes, she set off down the sidewalk towards her apartment.
***
He almost staggered as her emotions washed over him. The anger! The embarrassment! The resentment and sorrow! Seasoned with her desire, such delicious emotions. With unnatural speed he caught up to her. He moved up beside her and put on a concerned smile.
"Are you alright miss?"
She nearly jumped off the sidewalk when she heard a voice call out to her, a man appearing beside her from nowhere. "What do you care?" she snapped angrily, the shock rapidly burning off under her rampant anger, and started walking faster, her heels clicking a quick tune on the concrete. Bella did her best not to look back over her shoulder to see if the man still followed. Some guy just randomly appearing and asking if she was ok! Either the guy was trying to pick her up, or he was one of those nut jobs you read about in the paper, killing off women and kids for no reason. A sliver of fear touched her thoughts, and she started walking even faster, trying her best not to just outright run, afraid to look back and see that the man might be running after her. A sharp snap echoed in the empty streets as the heel of one of her shoes broke off, and she stumbled. "Fuck!" she cried out, more surprised than anything.
He almost trembled at her sudden fear. Such delicious emotions! He hurried after her, a flick of his finger weakening the heel of her shoe. The satisfying snap and curse brought a smile to his lips as he caught up to her. He reached his mind out to find hers, trying to sift around her thoughts and stir up her desire as he offered her a hand.
"You should be careful, miss. My name is Eric."
She looked up at him doubtfully, but took the hand he offered, and felt a shock of warmth flow through her. Standing there for a moment, the heel dangling off her shoe, she tried to figure out where it came from. Shrugging, she realized her hand was still in his, although he wasn't gripping it hard. Gently prying his fingers off, she bent down to take her ruined shoe off. The hem of her dark blood red dress hiked up her body as she moved, revealing a good amount of her beautifully tanned, smooth legs. She looked back up at him as she straightened, one bare foot on the cold concrete. Realizing he wasn't going to go away on his own, and thinking he must not be so bad (hell, he hadn't tried anything stupid yet, as far as she could see), she searched for something to say. Her lips parted to say something, then closed. She licked her suddenly dry lips and tried again.
"Uh...thanks. I mean, I'm...well, I know back there, I was kind of rude, and I didn't mean to be, it's just that my boyfriend, this is the third time...!" she rambled on, then stopped mid-sentence, realizing she was telling a complete stranger her problems.
Such a beautiful body, he thought. He almost licked his lips in anticipation. He smiled his impossibly charming smile at her.
"It's ok, you can tell me. I'm often told I'm a good listener."
