of his long red hair rippling down his back like some shampoo commercial.
    “Alice?” I couldn’t help but study his face, triangular in shape. It bordered on beautiful with just the slight edge of handsome that saved him from really looking like a woman. His dark eyes, framed by a soft fringe of lashes, met mine without hesitation. Somehow I’d gotten closer to him, just feet away.
    “Like the story. The little girl who got lost in a forest of oversized adventures.” He shifted and closed the distance between us. “I don’t think my ‘drink me’ potion is going to make you bigger than the flowers, but I’m sure I can show you a good time.” He looked to my crotch. “Maybe it will make you a little bigger. Temporarily, at least.”
    His words hit me like a rush of lust. My body tingled and responded, cock hard enough to hurt, nipples taut and sensitive, heart pounding. He wrapped an arm around my waist and yanked me against him. His lips touched my cheek. I should have been pissed that he’d just called me a girl, but none of that seemed to matter while touching him felt like being wrapped up in the earth on a warm summer day. Nothing had ever been so perfect.
    His fingers wove through my hair, which was somehow long again, but weightless. He didn’t try for more, just stared me in the eye, breathing my breath, offering his to me. “What is it you long for the most, little Alice?”
    “My name’s not Alice,” I whispered, afraid to break whatever sort of bond we had. “It’s Seiran.” Would he kiss me? What would he do if I kissed him? Nothing mattered at that moment but how I needed to settle in him. Just like the earth, he was wound completely through my soul.
    “Hmm,” he mumbled, nuzzling my cheek with his bowshaped lips. “Never had one like you. So strong. What do you long for, Seiran?” He repeated his question, my name sounding both foreign and heavenly on his lips.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
    He pressed his hips into my stomach. He was only a few inches taller than me, but everything about him seemed larger than the world. My cock ground into his thigh. A sigh escaped my lips as he gripped my ass. For the first time I realized I wore the same thing he did, just a soft pair of pants with no shirt. My hair was piled on top of my head in some odd updo that left the length of the back to tumble free and loose. I reached out to touch the black curls. They felt like silky darkness and my hand glowed with a pale inner light. What the hell?
I looked back to the red-haired man. “Who are you? What are you?”
    His smile was sincere. He spoke, but I couldn’t hear him. The night from above turned into brightness so harsh it blocked out everything else.
    The sun shining through the window brought me awake like a flower opening for the first time. I stretched, rolled over, and basked in the luminosity of the morning sun for a while. Instead of waking up with a hard-on due to the erotic dream, I felt rested and satisfied. Odd.
    The digital clock beside the bed, though ancient, still seemed to work; it read just after 7:00 a.m. Was it all a dream? Never in my life had I dreamt something so real. I could almost still feel his heat, recall the scent of his breath and the power on my skin.
    What did it mean for my relationship with Gabe if I was dreaming about some mystery man? Sure, the man had been a personification of most of my fantasies, but he’d felt like the earth. That had been his biggest draw, a moonless night with nothing but carefree adventures to be had. I wanted to dream of him again, but feared it. The idea of completely letting go of control to the earth had been instilled in me since childhood. The Dominion taught that the element would take you, force out your humanity, and leave you as nothing but a simpleminded creature to be bent to its will. I’d lost myself to the power before, and the earth hadn’t harmed me. I couldn’t imagine it doing so now, but fear of the unknown
