Succubus
You, uh, having something you need to tell me?
*Oona’s POV*
I sat up, blearily aware of a tickling prickle in my right ear. I reached to itch at it, only to be inundated with worry the moment I went to do it.
I realized Andy was sitting next to me, and I turned to him. He seemed so distraught, so worried, even though his expression was fairly placid. “What’s wrong?”
In response Andy just stared at me intensely. And just as though he had said the words, I knew he wanted me to tell him what he was thinking. I struggled to understand. “You, uh, having something you need to tell me? Andy?”
Andy looked like he was going to start crying in frustration, but he continued to just stare at me. Again, clearly, I could sense that he wanted me to place my hand on his chest, over my sigil Baffled, I did exactly that.
Immediately, Andy’s happiness flooded my mind as he wrapped his arms around me and started rocking back and forth. He was so happy, he loved me, it worked! I was going to live!
Confused I gently pulled away. “What have you done?”
I knew the answer before he said it out loud. “I gave you the seed as you were sleeping. I think it worked!”
Andy’s smile was broad, and the moment I understood, unbridled joy suffused my entire being! It had worked! I was Andy’s mate; his thoughts and feelings were what I was sensing! I threw myself back into his arms, and we embraced tightly, feeling each other’s exhilaration, for what felt like an eternity.
He broke away only to kiss me quickly, tears running freely down both of our faces. “I love you, I love you, I love you…” He murmured into my neck as he hugged me again.
He pulled away. “I was so worried, I didn’t see that you had any tattoo appear. Here, let me check.” I sensed his curiosity as I stood and turned around.
“There!” I felt his finger touching my back at the same time I was hit with a bolt of his confusion. “It’s changing! What does that mean?”
I moved to inspect my back in the bedroom mirror, and couldn’t help laughing. “You gave me a tramp stamp! That’s…” I trailed off as I watched the image slowly, very slowly, morph.
It had been one of the logos for Andy’s band, I recognized it. But now it was a glob… No, a cat! “I don’t know… May I ask what Juliet-“
Andy knew where I was going. “-She has a white rabbit on her side, and the dragonfly on my chest just got darker, but that wouldn’t be right for you.” That made sense; I realized I hadn’t noticed any new images on Andy, but now that I looked, his dragonfly looked completely different.
Andy paused, and I could feel him concentrating, considering. “It must be because I don’t really have a sigil, not one that works for you.” He grinned handsomely. “I bet, in time, it will find its shape.”
I took another look in the mirror, seeing that I literally had Andy’s name scrawled across my back at the moment. Thank goodness it was where I couldn’t see it easily, I’d be incredibly distracted!
Andy snickered. “It is kind of mesmerizing. But I like it on you.”
I smiled through my blush. “I like it too.”
