Scene #43

DRAGON DREAMS

"Scotch and ice please". It had been her father that had introduced her to the particular pleasure of scotch, definitely not to everyone's taste but it certainly qualified for a good strong drink. It was that first sip sliding down her throat and warming her whole insides that brought the small sound of pleasure out of her lips.

"Ahh the sound of a woman's pleasure is so very sensual. "

Jessie turned unable to identify the soft sexy voice that sent shivers up her back. Looking up she was quite sure that not only was her mouth hanging open but that she was about to drool as she stared. Not just at his pointed ears but his beautiful indigo eyes and the full smiling mouth that she would dearly like to nibble.

"Uh good scotch " well duh couldn't she think of something witty to say, "I'm Jessie" wow another good one as she stuck her hand out.

"A pleasure to meet you I'm Nathan". The softness of her hand sent tingles through his fingers as he brought it to his mouth and as it touched his lips he knew he wanted to caress much more than her hand with his lips. He hadn't expected a complication to his plan and his body's reaction was definitely a complication.

Jessie struggled to regain her composure as his lips caressed her hand, damn it had been years since anyone had been able to make her weak in the knees. Embarrassment highlighting her cheekbones "a pleasure to meet you too" Jessie delicately slid her hand away inadvertently creating more friction between them.

"Are you enjoying the concert?" They are all local musicians that put on a concert every year to raise funds for teen drop in center. I haven't seen you before are you new to the area?" Good lord now she was running off at the mouth just like one of the teenage girls from the drop in center.

She had noticed him the moment she had walked in he was one the sexiest men she had ever seen. He had been standing only ten feet away with little pointed ears. Ears that didn't just suggest pointedness they were really truly pointed and no one else seemed to have noticed. In fact no one had been paying any attention to him leaning against the wall. She was practically drooling and all the women around him had acted like he wasn't even there. Six feet and all muscle should have drawn some attention never mind the cute ears and the shoulder length silver hair tied back with a ribbon. Jessie knew she had had to pull herself together as she was practically on her knees and probably standing in a puddle of drool.

Nathan's chuckle brought her back "I haven't been in town long and I am enjoying the concert much more now." He moved in closer as the crowd wound around them hoping to catch a glimpse of the locket she wore around her beautiful neck, hell who was he kidding what he really wanted was to catch another whiff of her scent.

"You have the little gift shop down the block the one with the dragons in the window" Nathan lifted a questioning eyebrow noticing how her short hair fluttered around her face when she nodded. "I find that dragons are often depicted as powerful sensual images, perhaps as a reflection of ourselves, what do you think?"

He couldn't actually be flirting with her, could he? Trying to disengage her mind from the long forgotten sensations running through her body Jessie took another look at the cutest pointed ears since Spock first set foot on the Enterprise and tried to remember how to flirt. "You're right, dragons are often powerful and sensual but I would add dangerous to that description. Which is why so many people are attracted to them."

"You know your dragons, and dangerous is an apt description and an aphrodisiac to some". His eyes strayed to the locket nestled between her breasts, breasts that would fit nicely in his hands and for a moment all Nathan could do was think about her breasts in his hands. As he raised his eyes he realized that she knew exactly what he was thinking, "perhaps you could give be a small tour of your shop?"

"Perhaps", lord now she was having trouble breathing and she just knew her cheeks were getting redder with embarrassment.

Torn between relief and regret Jessie heard the warning chimes that the concert was about to begin "I guess its time".

"Yes definitely time," replied Nathan and although they both knew he wasn't referring to the concert they started to inch their way with the crowd.

" I do have a question for you" grinning widely Jessie place her hand on his sleeve and leaned in towards his ear. Responding to her grin with one of his own Nathan leaned down towards her "ask me anything. "

"Okay, I absolutely love your ears where did you get them?" "My ears?" Giving her a puzzled look Nathan stopped and stared at her. "Yes your ears I would love pointed ears and yours are so perfectly pointed and fit so well unlike the ones you see in the stores for Halloween."

Standing absolutely still in shock Nathan couldn't believe it, this sexy amateur human hedge witch actually saw him as he was, everyone else he was sure saw him as a regular human joe but she could see through his glamour. Leaning close to her ear Nathan hardened his voice "so there is much more to you then meets the eye" and quickly shifted out of the room to revise his plan.

"What?" Jessie's mouth was once again hanging open as she whirled around looking for him, how did he do that, "damn I'm loosing my mind".
