"Love Of a Goddess"
Xavier sat in his dimly lit room trembling. Shivering half from fear, and half from anticipation. The shadow had visited him every night for a week, it happened the same every night. He would be lying in his bed with the side table light on, and he would notice all the shadows in the room shifting-just a little-at first. Then they would start flowing towards a single point in the room, there they would all build and blend. Finally-once the shadows had stopped twitching- there would be standing the sexiest, most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She would come and lie with him at night. He feared Her coming because She whispered horrible tales in his ears instead of sweet nothings. He anticipated Her coming because She could do things to his body no human woman could. She told him to call her Vedalia. He had looked the name up, and discovered it was an Australian ladybug so he knew it was not Her true name. He oft times wondered why She came to him. What did She truly want? Why would a Goddess visit a pitiful human such as himself? He noticed an imperceptible squirming of the shadows, and all thoughts ceased. He just watched as Vedalia came into being. She was born out of the shadows, but was not OF the shadows. She was tall, five foot eight or nine, it made him ache just looking at Her. Curvy, luscious calves, and thighs, slightly wide hips angled in at the waist with large, well rounded breasts. She had a beautiful heart shaped face with full lips, and a pert nose. He thought Her most stunning feature was Her eyes. She had large, almond shaped eyes they were cats eye gold, and slanted ever so slightly up at the outside corners. She also had flowing auburn waves he thought he could lose himself in.
This night She looked at him seriously. "You have been pondering Me again haven't you pet? It will do you no good I will reveal to you what I wish when I wish, and nothing more." He sighed and lowered his head "Yes Vedalia". He heard her smoky laughter ring throughout his room.
"I rather like that name it is not nearly as stuffy as what I am usually called. I have grown so weary of all these 'titles'." Xavier peered at her from under his lowered lids
"'titles' Vedalia?"
Vedalia sneered, and even that did not mar the loveliness of Her face.
Her tone became High pitched, and mocking "Yes Mistress, No Madam, Right away M'lady, As you wish You Highness, Anything you please Your Majesty." Her tone switched back to Her usual smokey, sensual sound.
