Attacked by wolves
A small pack of wolves leapt out of the underbrush, growling and quickly closing the distance between them. Alstar backed away until he was up against a large tree, hand raised and chanting. A small blue circle of light appeared on the ground around him. "Get in the circle!" Alstar shouted at Lyra as a wolf leapt towards her. Lyra ran, crashing into mage just in time. She could feel the wolf's hot breath and spittle on her back, milliseconds away from sinking its razor sharp teeth into her neck, before it bounced off an invisible barrier.
Gasping in relief, Lyra looked down. The circle of protection was tiny. The heels of Alstar's sandals were already touching one edge which was right up against the tree. Although Lyra was pressed right up against him, her bare breasts squished against his chest, her own feet were barely in the circle. With only mere inches for her to maneuver, Lyra grabbed his shoulders and pushed herself away as far as she dared.
"Can't you make the circle any bigger?" Lyra asked.
Alstar blushed. "N- no. It's a beginner spell, meant for only one person."
"Well then, can't you shoot fireballs or something to get rid of the wolves?"
"Not while maintaining the shield! I told you I'm only an apprentice mage!"
Lyra sighed. Arms folded across her chest, she carefully pivoted her feet to turn around and face the wolves. The four wolves paced back and forth snarling. With a growl, the largest wolf lunged at her. "Eeep!" Lyra instinctively backed away from the attack, colliding into Alstar's chest. The air shimmered mere inches in front of Lyra's face where the wolf bounced off the barrier.
"I-I don't know how long the circle of protection will last," Alstar said in alarm. "Hopefully the wolves will leave in search for easier prey before then."
"Hopefully?" Lyra asked. She didn't like the sound of that. "Isn't there anything else you can do?"
Alstar hesitated for a moment. "Well, there is something I can try," he mumbled. "I sense an otherworldly aura around you. I can try and draw some power from it to strengthen the shield, but I'm not sure what that will do to you."
One wolf tried to bite at Lyra's leg. It didn't seem like they would be leaving any time soon. Was it her imagination, or did the circle of protection seem dimmer? "Do it!" Lyra shouted with a shudder. She couldn't imagine a worse way to perish than to mauled to death by wolves.
Still, Alstar seemed to hesitate. "I need to get closer to the center of your essence," he said quietly, his breath warm on her bare shoulder.
Lyra had no idea what the mage was blathering about. "Do it!" Lyra shouted again frantically. Alstar's right arm wrapped around her as he grabbed her left breast. "Wha- ah!" Lyra gasped as the mage firmly squeezed her boob. Her heart began racing and, looking down, she saw tendrils of pink mist leaving her body and swirling up the mage's arm. All of Lyra's recently renewed strength left her, and she felt as if she had run miles though a dense forest - again! Her knees buckled and she would have collapsed if Alstar hadn't been holding her up - one arm around her chest, the other around her waist.
Throughout all her mishaps since coming to this strange world, she had been seen naked and ogled by countless people. But until now she had been able to avoid being touched. Now this stranger was holding her bare body in a tight embrace, fondling her breast. Lyra didn't have the strength to fight him, even if she wanted to. She was cold, and his body was so warm against hers.
After several minutes, Alstar released her breast and pointed forwards, chanting. A huge arc of dazzling blue light shot forth, striking the wolves and knocking them back hundreds of yards.
