Excerpt: Somehow he had expected-- who knew? Shimmery scales in pastel green, soft pink fur, gemstones tattooed like diamonds into shimmering skin. Something inhuman.

He'd never been in this part of the shop before, and if he were thinking at all, he would be scuffing his foot and wondering in the back of his head whether he'd have to clean this up later. But he wasn't thinking. Yuuko's foot was tickling his ankle and she was breathing in his hair. He was burning, needing, wanting, and he wasn't thinking at all.

She pushed him down onto the futon and he had only an instant of clarity before she covered his mouth with her own. And in that clarity he thought, Something about this is wrong.

It was a niggling voice that became a booming voice and finally he pushed her away from him. It wasn't easy-- she was as lithe as a snake, and as hard to get rid of. She hummed a little and smiled at him.

"Make yourself comfortable," she said carelessly, leaning back and rearranging the slits in her kimono to show more leg. Watanuki's eyes struck the long, slender calves and traveled upward of their own accord.

"I don't know about this," he said, adjusting his glasses. She leaned forward and took them from him, and ran one scarlet-painted fingernail down his neck to rest in the hollow of his throat. He gulped. She kissed him there gently, and then bit hard, sudden, and a trickle of blood slid down his chest.

"There is a lot of power in this magic," she said, her voice deepening with desire, and then he felt a little better. This wasn't just Yuuko being her normal predatory self. This was Yuuko being her normal cunning, predatory self.

She pushed him into the futon and began to unbutton his shirt. His vision was fuzzy but drawn to the cleft between her breasts. And then there was no cleft and no surprises and he was somehow surprised to see the rest of her body just as porcelain-colored as her arms and legs. Somehow he had expected-- who knew? Shimmery scales in pastel green, soft pink fur, gemstones tattooed like diamonds into shimmering skin. Something inhuman.

But Yuuko was human all the way through. She bit his ear when she came and then kissed him, leaving a bloody lipstick blur on his lips.

"Your wish has been granted," she said, getting up and not bothering to dress before she offered him a hand, and he rose and stood as partner in their venture-- as equal, not servant, and somehow the entire mess was worth it.
