Inanna's Awakening, Part 5
#2 of Transformation
Inanna realizes that she doesn't know her body well enough to be intimate with another person just yet, and that her hunger is almost insatiable.
Inanna sniffled. "I didn't think it would hurt so much," she said. The tears ran down her cheeks as she lay on the bed in pain. Not a physical pain, but an emotional one. "I don't understand why, my love, but I simply had to stop you."
"Are you going to be okay, Inanna?" Her friend was truly concerned. "You know I didn't mean to hurt you or scare you."
"I don't know, hon," she whimpered in reply. "It's not you... I can't really explain what it is. I'm horny as hell, but I can't have sex with you right now."
Her friend had already put all his clothes back on and was sitting on the couch across the apartment from her. Inanna was sitting on the side of the bed, still nude, still aroused, but now she was looking away from him.
"Inanna," he said. "Maybe it's your body."
She looked at him, lovingly yet filled with sadness.
"You're not mad at me?"
Her friend almost laughed at her. "You know I'm not angry with you, love."
Inanna smiled a bit, and looked back down at the floor.
"Your body, Inanna," her friend continued. "It could be that because you just awakened a few hours ago that you don't know your body well enough yet to know what you like and what you don't."
Inanna nodded, sniffling again as she tried to hold back more tears.
"You told me yourself," he added, "that your people are much more emotional than humans, and you feel things far more easily than they do. You've already eaten half the food in your kitchen this morning, and it isn't even noon yet."
Inanna closed her eyes and put one hand on her abdomen. "I'm so hungry so often," she said. "I could barely control it in my human form, but in this form all control is completely gone."
"Well, you're burning it up a lot faster than you did in your human form," her friend advised. "Imagine yourself as a teenager again, eating all that food and never gaining any weight. Your metabolism is probably through the roof."
Inanna nodded. "Can you take me to the store, love?"
Her friend chuckled and nodded. "Normally I wouldn't do it on such short notice, but this is an extraordinary situation. Go ahead and put your clothes on and I'll be happy to take you to the store."
Inanna stood, held her belly again, and smiled at her friend. "I'm glad you're not mad at me, hon. Thank you for being my friend."
"Woof!" he said in his usual, playful fashion. "You is an Inanna, and I'z happy to help you."
Inanna groped her boobs and laughed. "Yup," she said. "I is definitely an Inanna... a hungry Inanna. I'll get dressed so we can go."
