Nightmares ; Bonkai

chapter 8

You know sometimes when you're falling asleep and you get into that hazy, drifting state of mind where you feel tingly and a sense of floating? Bonnie could feel a similar electric charge spreading throughout her entire body even in her deep sleep. She could feel the sparks shooting out of her fingers and toes, her breath catching at the overwhelming sense of power that consumed her. She felt as if her hands were outstretched at her sides against the wind, waiting for it to lift her up and blow her away but this force was keeping her grounded, in control. Her mind fogged into dizziness, failing to find a logical escape route over the pleasure that racked her body. She could feel herself getting higher, higher up into the clouds where the static sucked out all of the air - leaving her gasping - and pulling herself out of her dream state.

She opened her eyes and quickly looked over at the outside of her arm, where Kai was lazily grazing up and down from her shoulder to elbow. She looked back in front of her, eyes wide, trying to piece together what is happening to what she was just feeling. He trailed his index finger down again to her elbow and she felt a static charge shoot down to her fingers.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed as she attempted to throw herself hands first out of his bed, his arm quickly snaking around her waist and pulling her back.

"Woah there," he laughed. "You're gonna hurt yourself if you aren't careful."

"I think you're already doing that plenty!" she said, smacking at his hand.

He gripped her tighter and leaned in behind her ear sending goosebumps down her spine. "You don't seem in any pain to me."

"You sleep siphoned me you asshole!" she squirmed to turn herself around in his embrace to beat on his chest; really an ineffective method when you get down to it. He wrapped his arms around her in a bear hug and her hands and face were squished into his chest.

"Technically, yes - I did, but in my defense it's practically radiating off of you! It was just a taste. Besides," he loosened his grip slightly so he could look down at her, "If I didn't know any better I'd think you liked it.

The statement itself on top of the way Kai's sleep voice dropped to an unimaginable low as he quietly said the last line had Bonnie taking in a shaky breath and pushing her palms flat against his chest.

"There is no way in Hell I would ever like your hands on me. And you were stealing my magic!"

His big lazy smile let her know her words had no impact on him. "Now you're just being silly. And I wasn't stealing your magic per say, but borrowing it, giving it a nice kick and handing it back to you.

She replayed her dream and felt the rush of electricity that had her so wound up she couldn't catch her breath, she couldn't feel anything over the tingling all over her body -

"It's a rush, right?" he slowly dragged his hand down her spine. "That flood of power and adrenaline hitting you so fast you can't breathe, can't think about anything except wanting more."

Her skin felt like pins and needles everywhere he touched. She closed her eyes, trying to block out his words and the sensation she was feeling.

"It's overwhelming," he pressed on. "Depending who you're with; If you have the right person and the sparks are already flying," he ducked his head down to touch her forehead with his. "It can be insatiable."

Vivid images of the kiss with Kai in her dream mixed with these new overwhelming sensations were making her physically dizzy, his face starting to sway in front of her. She grabbed his hand from behind her back to stop his movements but he just held onto it, him thumb putting light pressure against her palm.
