When she looked up and met its eyes, for just a second Salene thought it a person, with her first instinct being to cover up, closely followed by the pent up, frantic need that radiated through her body.
But no longer than that moment, for though it had a face and a body, it was not a person. She stared in fear and awe at the creature, its form mimicking a person's, crackling with electricity and magic, the silhouette flickering. As wild as the thunderstorm that raged on. Its eyes locked with hers and her breath stopped. A deep, endless blue that thrummed with power and made her tingle. They betrayed an underlying intelligence that was entirely foreign to her. Mesmerising and terrifying in equal measure. She let out a little gasp when it moved, in fear and some anticipation both, raising a hand towards her as if in a bid...
Her eyes widened as lightning struck, seemingly right over them, the violent rumble through the earth transferring first to the log between her legs, then to her slit still pressed hard against it in need.
She couldn't scream. She couldn't even breathe. Curling up around herself at the literally stunning pleasure.
When she could look up again with desperation and want, she was prepared to beg it for release - to push her over into the orgasm that was building and building just over the edge. But it was still a surprise to see the creature, hand extended in invitation, just beyond the smoke. Deep seated roots of fear threatened to trip her shaking legs as she rose to take it.
Warm summer rains kissed the fevered skin of her arm, pleasantly refreshing and yet titillating, as she extended it outside the reach of the overhang. Every story she had been told rung in the back of her mind, screaming- but nothing happened. No monsters, no shifts of reality.
Just her hand hovering over that of this creature of magic and thunder. Even from a little distance, she could feel the sparks on her hand. A sort of... Goosebumps, only it moved and shifted. A dizzying tingle, running up her fingers, the thrum of power from the creature just barely sensed through the air.
It's head tilted, looking at her standing there still, as if asking silently why she hesitated. Salene paused. Really, she wasn't quite sure why.
And so, she placed her hand in its.
Her eyes widened. It stole her breath away, a thousand little jolts setting her nerves aflame, with each drop of rain a drum to quicken her already racing heart - tiny gasps of air and smoke all to keep her grounded. A touch, inhuman in its ephemerality, ever shifting with the wind, but as solid on her skin as any of the paltry lovers she had ever had. Like candles to the might of a wildfire.
