“It was Jaenelle's voice, but...
She was medium height, slender, and fair-skinned. Her gold mane--not quite hair and not quite fur--was brushed up and back from her exotic face and didn't hide the delicately pointed ears. In the center of her forehead was a tiny, spiral horn. A narrow strip of gold fur traced her spine, ending in a small gold and white fawn tail that flicked over her bare buttocks. The legs were human and shapely, but changed below the calf. Instead of feet, she had dainty horse's hooves. Her human hands had sheathed claws like a cat's. As she shifted position to slip another shard into place, he saw the small, round breasts, the feminine curve of waist and hips, the dark-gold triangle of hair between her legs.

Terrifying and beautiful. Human and Other. Gentle and violent. Innocent and wise.
*I am Witch,* she said, a small, defiant quiver in her voice.
*I know.* His voice had a seductive throb in it, a hunger he couldn't control or mask.”

“*I don't want the body,* she whimpered. *It hurts.*
*Not always, sweetheart. Not always. Without the body, how will you hear a bird's song? How will you feel a warm summer rain on your skin? How will you taste nutcakes? How will you walk on a beach at sunset and feel the sand and surf under your... hooves?*”

“You're not going to answer, are you?" Jaenelle asked after a minute of teeth-grinding silence.
"No."
"Don't you know the answer?"

Daemon growled.”
