Nirea didn't want to move. all she could hear was the beating of her heart-or maybe it was Ainikki's- and she was perfectly fine with that. At this point in time she wasn't even sure if she was still breathing or not. All she knew was that it felt disturbingly yet satisfyingly natural to have this woman's body pressed against hers. opening her pupiless glowing blue eyes, Nirea gazed deeply into Ainikki's as she sat up. Her heart beat quickened.
As she moved closer, Nirea intinctually lifted her arms, which she had noticed were hanging limply by her lean side, and placed both hands delicatly on Ainikki's waist, letting the rest on her curvy hips. Everything from that point on seemed to occur in short, slow fragments of time that left Nirea's head near spinning. Ainikki moved onto her lap, her hands wound up Nirea's back. Shivers flooded down her spine, and Nirea tilted her head a bit around Ainikki's as she moved her face closer. The warm bit of air that rippled across Nirea's lips brought on a warmth that enveloped her whole body, and, finally, their lips touched.
Not a moment later did Nirea feel a falling sensation that made her question the fact that maybe she had been in serpent form and fallen asleep, and found herself spiraling into a deep abyss of a violently gripping whirlpool.
When she opened her eyes, however, she saw Ainikki's face just in front of her's, water passing over it. She had been so wrapped up in her she tuned out the sound of the humans closing in. At that point, she hadn't even cared.
Unwilling to give up the tender sweet taste of Ainikki's lips, Nirea tightened the grasp she had around her waste, and pressed her lips hard onto the beautiful creature who lay against the pond's bottom beneath her. She dare not speak a word out loud, but as she clung to Ainikki she vowed silently.
I will protect you.
