That first question was oddly difficult. Especially with my name, I felt like I should answer "djin", but I was imprinted with by the original Kolchak (The Night Stalker) with the "rakshasa", so that got my (unpopular) vote.
My turn-ons *g* include a likeable personality (whether hero or villain), so I could definitely find a likeable fellow who turns into a snake very sexy. But if he's unlikeable? Then ick.
I like my smut ... hot and intense and meaningful (aka within a relationship) and revealing of the characters' personalities and/or goals/issues. I like my smut ... as a nice spice to a story, not as the whole story. In other words, not PWP.
And the Ticky Box RULZ!!!!! HAWT-HAWT-HAWT Ticky Box! *sizzle*
My naga is very sexy and moderately likeable, for all that he eats humans.
“And why is it such a terrible thing to be chosen for you?” Arqam asked as he took a bite of the mango on his plate. He looked all around the richly appointed chamber. “This is a feast no man in the village will ever see.”
Rakesh laughed. "Curious little one. This is a feast that one man a year does see." He carved a bite from the meat on his plate and licked at the blood that trickled down his knife-blade. "My magic is not great but it can extend a single man into a year's food." Arqam paled, thinking the situation called for it.
"And this year, I am that man." He took a drink of the fruit juice in his cup to cover his rampant curiosity.
Rakesh's finger was light on the side of his face. "Indeed. But I have a great weakness. I like to play with my food."
