STORY EXCERPT

Ever since he’d lost most of his magic, he had gotten into the habit of utilizing crystals to act as protective wards all around his penthouse, but those stones had never failed to shield him from evil intent. Then again, there was a first time for everything. A loud knocking sound on the door pulled him away from his musing, so he dashed toward the door to answer it. He heaved out a huge sigh of relief when Jayden’s face appeared.

“Jay!” he shouted before embracing his lover.

“Hey, Abe.”

Jayden’s voice sounded really strained, so he stepped back and studied his lover’s face. “What’s wrong, Jay?”

“You.”

“What?”

“You’ve caused plenty of deaths in the village. It’s all your fault. My parents are dead because of you. Your parents are killed because of you.”

“What? What are you talking about? My parents are alive and…”

He couldn’t finish his sentence after turning around. The house was burning up, and his parents’ bloodied corpses were lying on the ground. He faced Jayden once again, but his boyfriend was no longer there. Instead, there was an angry mob yanking on his shirt and hair as they attempted to drag him out of the house. He screamed and struggled against them, but they were so much stronger than he was. He tried to call on his earth and water elemental magic, but he couldn’t feel them at all.

No, this is just a horrible nightmare. It’s not real, he screamed inside his head. It’s…it’s an illusion.

The image of the waxing moon appeared at the forefront of his mind. He’d noticed that particular phase of the moon while tidying up his potion ingredients the previous night. Now, he understood what was happening at the moment. This was his third test. The sirens had warned him about it soon after he’d acquired his water element back.

He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, ignoring the painful tug on his hair and shirt as the mob clawed at him. Earth was all about metamorphosis and transformation. Water was all about healing and convalescence. He inhaled a huge gulp of air and allowed it to fill him up. He could feel the air elemental magic swirling deep inside his magical core.

Air is all about phantasm and illusion. This isn’t real, he thought to himself.

He let the warm glow of air magic rise from deep within him. There was an explosion of brilliant yellow light. The sound of the mob out for his blood, along with the pain around his neck and on his hair, disappeared. Then, he felt someone shaking his whole body insistently.

“Abe, baby, come on. Wake up.”

He opened his eyes and gazed at Jayden’s concerned expression. “Hey, Jay.”

“What the fuck? You’ve been mumbling like a maniac since five o’clock and—”

Jayden didn’t get to complete his sentence. There was a melodious ringing sound next to the bed. He and Jayden turned their heads toward the source almost simultaneously. It was a pegasus. Its wingspan was huge. Those wings should have damaged the walls of his bedroom. Instead, they passed through the walls as they flapped up and down. He reached up with one hand and the pegasus floated closer toward him before bowing its head. He wanted to caress the thick mane, but he couldn’t touch it at all. After a moment, the creature turned around and flew away before gradually disappearing.

“Thank you,” he whispered.

“Was that…”

“A pegasus,” he said while locking eyes with his lover.

“Your eyes are glowing.”

“Color?”

“Golden. No, it’s more yellow-ish. Does this mean that you have your air element back?”

He winked at Jayden before answering. “Only one way to find out. Care for an early morning flight?”

“What?”

He ignored Jayden’s question and dragged his lover out toward the veranda. He didn’t even care that they were both naked as the day they were born. He inhaled and exhaled deeply as he climbed over the railing. Jayden followed his lead and then stared at him, speechless and obviously a little frightened. He smirked at Jayden before entwining their hands together and jumping down from the balcony. Jayden screamed out loud, but Abraham simply laughed out loud in amusement at his boyfriend. They fell faster toward the ground as the gravity pulled at them. He stretched one arm in front of him and called upon his air magic. There was an exhilarating rush through his entire being as the magic responded. A powerful gust of wind appeared, enveloping them both in a warm cocoon. Soon, the two of them were floating around much higher than all of the buildings in Manhattan, enjoying the sight of the sun rising up in the east.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

“It is, baby, but you’re fucking insane. Warn me next time before you do something like that.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” he retorted before snickering at Jayden.

ADULT EXCERPT

“Hey, Jay. Welcome home.”

The greeting surprised him, but it also gave him a warm, tingly feeling all over. He liked the sound of it. Even though the penthouse legally belonged to Abraham, Jayden was beginning to think of it as his home. It shouldn’t have been that astonishing for him, though. After all, he had spent more of his time here after a long day at work than in his own bedroom back at the Fortress. He approached Abraham and leaned in for a brief kiss before gesturing at nowhere in particular.

“Did you bake or something?”

“Something. I’m trying out a new scent. It’s called cookies-and-cream. Do you like it?”

“Absolutely. It’s making me hungry, though.”

“For food or something else?” Abraham teased and winked at him.

Jayden smirked at his lover. “My stomach has rumbled once or twice, but I can be persuaded.”

“Yeah?”

Jayden nodded his head. His breathing quickened when Abraham genuflected to his knees in front of him before palming his growing erection and squeezing it. “Don’t start what you can’t finish.”

“Who says I can’t?”

“But the potion—”

“—will simmer for another three hours before it’s ready. I’m sure we can do a lot of things while waiting for it.”

Jayden moaned softly when Abraham unzipped his pants and pulled his dick out. It was almost fully erect now, and it didn’t take long for it to harden to its maximum size because Abraham’s tongue was like magic. Jayden glanced down as Abraham dragged his tongue up and down the underside of his cock. The movement was slow and deliberate, but it made his knees tremble from the exquisite pleasure he was experiencing at the moment. He expelled a loud sigh when Abraham bent down a bit lower and gave his balls a few quick flicks.

Abraham’s next move shocked him to his core. Jayden stared in disbelief as Abraham managed to swallow the whole length of his throbbing cock in one smooth stroke, which usually required multiple attempts to achieve. His boyfriend’s nose was pressed against his pubes. He could feel Abraham swallowing slow and steady, and that resulted in a massaging sensation all around his cockhead and shaft. He gripped the side of Abraham’s head and tried to push his lover off, but Abraham refused to oblige. He could feel the telltale sign of his impending orgasm.

“Baby, you have to stop. I’m about to lose it.”

Instead of pulling away, Abraham sucked on his dick even harder. Jayden groaned out loud as his balls tightened. Abraham looked up at him with those sexy eyes, and Jayden was pushed over the edge. The sensation became even more intense as Abraham leaned back a little, leaving only a few inches of Jayden’s pulsing dick inside his lover’s mouth and increasing the suction. Jayden couldn’t stop himself from whimpering at the incredible feeling all over his body as his orgasm made him shudder from head to toe. He would have fallen flat on his ass if Abraham hadn’t grabbed his ass to make sure that he remained standing.

When it was over, Jayden’s knees were too weak to bear his weight, so he sat on the ground and placed his palms flat on the floor. He enjoyed his afterglow while attempting to calm his breathing down. Abraham chortled in front of him before proceeding to strip himself naked. Jayden admired his lover’s muscular body as inches of skin were exposed for his viewing pleasure. He could only groan when Abraham dragged his pants off, leaving him bare from the waist down.

“Are you ready?”

“Baby, I just came—”

“Yet your cock is still so hard,” Abraham interrupted. “I’ve been missing your hard cock the entire day.”

“Yeah?”

“Absolutely.”

The two of them moaned at the same time as Abraham straddled him and took Jayden’s sensitive cock into his warm hole one inch at a time. It felt slippery and moist inside.

“Fuck. Baby, did you lube yourself up earlier?”

Abraham nodded. “That’s one of the perks of my water elemental magic.”

He couldn’t disagree. Abraham’s mouth was gaping from the exertion, and Jayden couldn’t help but lean in for a passionate kiss. He remained still on the ground as Abraham rode his dick. He was aware that his large cock could tear Abraham a new hole if the two of them weren’t careful during their lovemaking session. As much as he yearned to pound into Abraham, he was going to be patient until his lover’s hole adapted to the size of his hard cock.

“Do you like it, baby?”

“Uh-huh. It feels good.”

“What feels good?”

“Your cock inside my ass.”

“Your ass is so fucking tight, baby.”

“It’s…it’s not. Your cock is huge. Any hole will feel tight for you.”

He shook his head and wrapped both arms around Abraham’s body before pushing the man down onto the pile of their discarded clothes on the floor. It took some maneuvering, as the two of them were still connected with his cockhead inside Abraham’s ass. They both groaned as Jayden thrust deeper, sheathing his dick completely inside his lover’s warm hole.
