Delphine's duty - Before she'd taken on true shape, true form, true<em>purpose</em>- was to stand watch while her summoner was occupied. To be his true companion, the eyes in the back of his head! That was what, quite literally, she'd been made for...And she could stand watch for hours without complaint. Boredom had never been an issue for her, not before...Her mind clear, serene of all thought except for vigilance - Except now, things were different. Very, very different indeed!<br/><br/>As she hovered in place, she resisted the urge to glance back. Harlan, of course, was a *very* fine-looking man...She'd be the first to admit that. After she'd glimpsed that vision, she had to wonder-<br/><br/>And, at that very moment...A<em>pulse</em>ran through her! Her lips parted, her gasp quickly smothered - Before she felt the *hands* on her, the voice only she could hear...! Delphine's hips made to roll, as she fought down her moan - That same deviant thrill coursing through her!<br/><br/>Once.<em>Once</em>should've been enough...But on some level, she'd been awaiting this-! Her breath quickened, as she felt that groping touch slid up, up and over her luscious curves - Pawing at her, invisible but palpable, her midnight tresses swaying as her robes rustled in time to that hungry touch. A sensuous full-body rippled coursed through Delphine's shapely form, her pulse coming faster, faster, at his words...<br/><br/>Then-<br/><br/>And Delphine's soft<em>"Oh.</em>purred from her lips at last! For a moment, she was silent - Her gaze going to Harlan, for the span of a second...A flicker of distraction interrupting her vigilance! As her gauzy robes played along her long, smooth legs, he'd get a momentary eyeful - Which was likely *just* as distracting to him!<br/><br/>"I-" Delphine began, a warm flush tingling beneath her creamy skin - Averting her own gaze!<br/><br/>"...Merely a breeze, Harlan. Please, take your ease - I shall inform you if danger nears."<br/><br/>Her voice was carefully measured, her slim fingers clasping her staff...Though she couldn't hide the way she'd momentarily looked at him - Her free hand smoothing down her dress!<br/><br/>The pale brunette would turn away, if as nothing had happened...Trying her best to ignore the teasing, tempting *buzzing* that coursed through her...<br/><br/>As she thought - That perverse curiosity rippling through her form once again...!<br/><br/><em>"What *kind* of wager...?"</em>
