In the Shadows

Chapter 6

The wind turned colder and the night got darker. Alex was looking around making sure no one was near. I stood by the edge of the lake shivering wondering what was gonna happen next.
"This is gonna seem uncomfortable but you have to strip down to where you only have on your intimates." Alex's eyes shimmered and I felt scared again.
"Is that really necessary?"
"Unfortunately, for you it is. In order to undergo the changes and become apart of the Zaire Ones you can't have any outsider clothing on. A nude body is sacred to the Holy Anastasha. Intimates are the only thing  allowed" I scoffed at him.
"How do I know that you aren't just bullshitting me and only want to see in my bra and panties?"
"Because I have to strip as well"
"That's not a fair answer. You're ego is extremely high and look at you, you're flawless"
"I can understand why you feel that way but it's the only way you can completely change.  Oh and my ego isn't that high" he smirked.
"Fine just turn around and don't judge my body"

As I was taking away the pieces that hid what I hated most I heard a beautiful sound. I was so distracted I forgot how much I hated my body.

"You hear that Natasha? That's the call."
"It's so beautiful."

Before I knew it Alex turned around and I felt so vulnerable. He was also stripped down only into his boxers. He stared at my golden body. His eyes practically glowing.

"Natasha you are beautiful. Don't ever feel discouraged about the way you look."
I let my muscles relax and I felt good. He didn't judge me and that felt nice.
"Thank you Alex, you aren't so bad yourself"
He threw a blue like dust into the lake. A large hole was created in the center and blue orbs flew out around us. I felt their energy. They felt refreshing against my bare skin. Alex reached for my hand and grabbed it.

"Before we go in throw your bag in the hole"
"Why can I bring my clothes but not go in with my clothes?"
"Natasha I already explained to you why" I felt myself getting dragged into another moment. I had to suck it up and deal with the body I have.

"In order for this to work we have to be linked up together by touch. We have to be serious. We can't get caught up with another energy share" Alex's voice was so deep and mesmerizing.
He took me and pressed me against his chest. I felt every inch of tight ab muscle. My ear pressed against his sternum and I heard his heart beating. I wanted more from him. I couldn't resist. I wrapped my arms around his back and pressed harder into him. I kissed his chest and he moaned.
"No Natasha stop we hav-" The feeling was too good to stop. I grabbed the back of his neck and I hauled myself up to him. He held me up pressing his soft lips into mine. Blue swirls and orbs surrounded us. I kept telling myself to stop this was wrong but my body didn't listen. He slid his hand under my bra. He drained himself into me. Spasms came out of my body and my eyes rolled back. I felt carefree and infinite.

As the energy stopped flowing I felt lonely again and terrible because I hadn't controlled myself. My hands scurried to hide my body but it was useless. I looked away not facing him right on.
"Come on its over lets just get this over with" he said sounding disappointed.
"On the count of three I'll throw us into the hole. Hold on as tight as you can. The current is strong and we have to maintain linked until we reach the portal door"
We got into position and we flew swiftly into the hole.
