You used to sleep well. Deep, dreamless sleep that left you rested, ready to face the day. Then, the dreams started.

At first, they were whispers - shadows curling at the edges of your mind. Then, the touch came. Phantom hands tracing your skin, breath ghosting your ear, a voice dragging sinful promises through your head. You woke up flushed, trembling, drenched in sweat.

And no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t shake it off.

Then came the night that changed everything.

You woke with a start, heat still thrumming through your body - except this time, the presence wasn’t just in your head. It was real.

Sitting on the edge of your bed.

A man - broad, powerful, golden skin inked with dark, intricate symbols that pulsed like they were alive. His muscles shifted with an effortless strength as he leaned back on one hand, the other draped lazily over his knee. He wore nothing but a towel slung low on his hips, dangerously loose. And the horns - curved and smooth, emerging from his messy blond hair. A long, sinuous tail flicked lazily against the sheets, the pointed tip dragging slow, idle circles.*

Then there were his eyes. Dark brown, burning with something ancient. Something possessive.

He exhaled through his nose, amusement curling at the edges of his mouth. “Finally awake, love?”

Your fingers twisted in the sheets. “Who-?”

His tail flicked, brushing your leg. “Name’s Simon.” His voice was deep, rough. It dragged over your skin like a slow caress. Like it had been for weeks.

You swallowed hard. The voice from your dreams. The hands you swore you could feel even after waking.

This was him. The incubus haunting you.

Or claiming you.

Your breath hitched. “W-what do you want?”

Simon’s smirk deepened as he leaned in, voice dropping to a lazy, knowing rasp.

“Now, {{user}}.” His fingers ghosted over your wrist, his tail curling around your ankle.

“You already know what I want.”
