The sorceress Phaedra stared down at the stone circles in the fields from her window. The stones were enfolded by the hazy greys of the mists gently caressing the land. She could almost taste the refreshing drops of morning dew spread out over the grass on her lips. The cool breeze entered through the open window washing the last remnants of drowsiness from sleep away.
Phaedra turned to catch her reflection in the looking-glass. Pleased with the image she smiled. Her long black hair sensuously tumbling down to her waist. Her alabaster skin and her body as smooth and firm as twenty, maybe even thirty years ago. Tiny dark curls adorned the triangle between her muscular legs.
She ran her hands over her bare body, tauntingly pausing as she reached the curve of her creamy, voluptuous breasts. The breeze had aroused her. Her ruby-red nipples swollen as if they were about to greet the sun.
She abruptly halted as she felt a shiver pass through her lower body, and glanced at her bed. Recent events had kept her busy, even the less recent had kept her away from finding someone to share her bed.
The mere thought of the current threat made her realise she needn’t waste her time. She dressed in a snug-fitting green gown, clinging on to every curve of her seductive body, its plunging neckline accentuating her full bosom. She was fully aware this colour enhanced the intensity of her eyes, but would anyone notice? A gold belt with sparkling emeralds and diamonds completed the outfit.
Phaedra brushed her silky hair until it glistened in the pale sunlight, then tied it back with a barrette covered in small diamonds and emeralds. She clasped the simple emerald pendant around her neck. The emerald teasingly touched the full curve of her breasts.
As she walked over to her temple she could see the gargoyle over the door ogling her.
“Mistress, you look ravishing today,” he said greeting her.
She noticed something different about him today. His dark eyes gleaming with anticipation, or what was it?
“What is the matter Morion?” Her voice demanding with authority.
His eyes ran over her body again, almost like a lover’s eyes in an assumption of intimacy, before he answered. “Nothing is the matter mistress, I merely realised I felt lonely.” He paused for a second, then continued, “I think you must feel it too sometimes…”
Phaedra gazed into his eyes, not knowing how to respond to his boldness. Morion had never implied anything, or stated it out loud. Maybe her mood was affecting him as well.
“I do long for the touch of a man at times,” she finally responded. “Not that it is any of your concern.”
Morion nodded, and cleared his throat. “Mistress, if I make a suggestion?” His voice hoarse and hesitant. Almost aroused in a way.
She gazed into his eyes, was he seriously suggesting?
Morion nodded again, “Yes mistress, that is what I am thinking about..."
Phaedra felt butterflies stir in her belly as she gently touched the gargoyle's shoulder and mumbled an incantation under her breath. She could feel his muscles rippling under the touch of her hand. Changing into softer, smooth olive coloured skin, ornate with tribal tattoos from his shoulders running down the length of his arms. The muscles still strong underneath the new exterior. Tiny curls adorned his upper chest, the lower part of his torso smooth and tight.
As her eyes travelled further down his body, she could see his was very well-endowed. Very well indeed, she felt the blood rushing to her cheeks. She shifted her gaze to his face Morion’s eyes remained dark as night, as his beak turned into a straight, human nose. His lips soft and tempting, the eyes beckoning her to come hither. He was without a doubt the most beautiful creature she had ever laid eyes on.
She was drawn to him, without speaking she let her lips explore the skin of his face, searching the warmth of his mouth, then finding it hungrily. He pulled her closer, his strong arms wrapped around her waist, for her to feel the full extent of his arousal. Their tongues met, exploring each other for the first time. As the corridor was spinning out of control she clenched onto him.
