"Please, I Dropped my Drumsticks" This is a cute scene from my upcoming novel, "Dark Captives". It was just a bit of fun testing a new character morph design for Gaston that actually developed into a picture. From Chapter 1: As he did, someone crashed full-force into him, sending him stumbling back a few paces to keep his feet. Alexandra T'Kayn gasped when he grabbed hold of her to keep her from falling. Her arms went around his chest as he steadied her. Her voluptuous body pressed sensuously against his and she sighed a little. That did things to him he definitely enjoyed. Her warm cinnamon scent swirled around him and he tightened his arms just a bit more. It was obvious she didn't realize who he was, yet. "Ancestors!" she panted, clearly embarrassed, "Forgive me sir! I am so sorry!" "Mmmm, nice to see you, Alexandra," he purred. She gasped. His smile widened into a grin. "Gaston!" she said in a tight, choked voice, "L-let me go..." "Not just yet," he murmured in her ear, "I want to make sure you're alright." He felt the shiver that went through her body and smiled. She wasn't fighting him. "I-I'm fine," she breathed, "p-please let go of me." "I don't think you really want me to, do you?" Alex stiffened a little. "Gaston," she said, her voice low, confused, "you have to let me go..." "Why?" He smiled at her and was rewarded with another shiver. "I'm only trying to help you. You nearly fell." She swallowed hard. "You... you're my..." She flushed red. "You're..." He chuckled, loving the effect that had on her. Her cheeks reddened even more. "You don't think I should hold you like this because we're adversaries?" Alex gave a nervous, hesitant nod, moistening her lips. Heat suffused him at the sight of her little pink tongue wetting her soft lips. He stiffened, his breath quickening a bit. "I think you like it, sweetheart," he purred. "You have a nasty little habit of being attracted to... ah," he coughed slightly, "villains." Alex moaned softly, beginning to squirm a bit. "N-no... No!" she said, "No... I'm not!" She pushed weakly at him. "Gaston, let me go..." He gave her what he knew was a distinctly wicked grin. He was rewarded with an even deeper flush on her cheeks. "Do you know what I'd like to do to you?" he said in a low, seductive voice, letting his natural Kristani accent color his words. Alex groaned softly. "I-I have an idea," she said thickly. Again she tried to push him away. "Please, I dropped my drumsticks..." Gaston shook his head, the grin never leaving his lips. No woman he'd ever known reacted to him the way this one did. She protested, she fought him but there was something about the way she did it that betrayed her true feelings. Feelings she was definitely uncomfortable with. At least for now. "Alexandra," he said, taking a chance and touching her forehead, trailing his fingers over her cheek, "I think we should put the rivalry aside for a moment. You're attracted to me. That's clear." "No, I'm not," she said. She didn't try to escape, nor did she stop his fingers from caressing her. "You lie badly, sweetheart," he murmured, leaning closer. "But you're a villain," she breathed, her eyes fluttering closed. "I know," he said. --- Models: V4, M4. Custom morph designs: "Alex T'Kayn" and "Gaston VonTesmar" by me.
