Things get intense.

Becca sat up with a start. That was really weird, she was a completely different person (not to mention very stoned) five seconds ago. Rubbing her head, she walked into the living room to see Julie with a puzzled look on her face. "Jules?" She asked tentatively. "What did you do?"

Julie turned to her and stared without recognition. She opened her mouth as if to speak, then closed it again. Looking at her girlfriend's face, Becca was overwhelmed by a sensation unlike any she'd ever experienced. It was Julie, but it wasn't. Her eyes flicked momentarily to the cabinet - long enough to see the small statuette that Julie had placed inside.

They had purchased it during one of Julia's forays into esotericism. It was an ancient Mesopotamian idol, a likeness of the fertility goddess Nanaya. This particular totem was unique in that it appeared to be designed for sensuality rituals rather than fertility. Nanaya was the goddess of both fertility and sexual pleasure. Most rituals and totems revolved around fertility but this one was specifically created to enhance sexual pleasure. They had performed sexual rites hashed together from fragmentary documents in an attempt to deepen their sex life. The results were mixed but it was an interesting experiment.

Now, though, none of that mattered. The creature in front of her was unlike anything she'd ever experienced. To her ordinary five senses it was Julie, but the flood of warmth and longing and animal lust inside of her marked it as something beyond human. The Julie creature extended a hand and made a strange gesture and Becca gasped and doubled over as every inch of her body was flooded with liquid fire.

The Julie creature - no, the Goddess - examined her coolly and brought its hand down. All at once the fire in her veins cooled and Becca collapsed onto the floor, drawing in ragged breaths. It approached slowly, radiating sexuality on a level Becca couldn't have ever conceived of. I'm blind, she thought, then realized that she could see. She was experiencing the Goddess's power with such intensity she was only dimly aware of her ordinary bodily sensations.

Then the Goddess was standing above her and she was shielding her eyes. "Julie," she choked out, struggling to remain conscious as waves of pleasure smashed into her like breakers against a ragged cliff, "you're-"

The Goddess knelt and leaned forward. She braced herself as it planted a small, burning kiss on her forehead.
