I’m not going to last very long,he thought next, gasping into my neck.Gods, Leda, I’ll be lucky to get it inside you.

Then we’ll try it again later. If you want.

His fingers clenched violently in my hair, and he kissed me on the mouth, hard, shifting down to hold his weight up on his elbows as he reached down and freed his cock from his trousers. I used my feet to help him the rest of the way out of his clothes, then he was lining the head up with my entrance, groaning as he looked down our bodies, his weight now pinning me to the mattress. His magic slammed into me again, and I whimpered, feeling so much of him in it, the emotion there caught in my chest and throat.

“Don’t lie to me,” I blurted. “Please.”

It was a strange thing to say, but for some reason, he didn’t blink.

“I won’t.” He said it vehemently, like a promise. “Gods, Leda. I won’t.” He hesitated a second longer, then his voice turned coaxing. “Look at me, darling. Please. Fucking look at me for this.”

I hadn’t realized I’d closed my eyes until he said it.

I opened them to find him staring at me.

The fire in his irises illuminated his face, the light rippling over his skin like liquid gold. He was panting, both of us were, and sweating, and magic seemed to crackle over his skin. He didn’t look real at all. He definitely didn’t look human. I was still staring when he notched into me, then rolled his whole body up and into me in a hard, sensual arc.

“Oh,fuck…”he groaned.

It wasn’t just him.

Gods, it felt so insanely good.

His magic coiled into my chest and belly like a fiery snake, and I felt myself want that, maybe as much as I wanted his body. I opened to him more when his magic flared, winding my ownmagic into his in return. He let out another, heavier groan when I did, and fucked his cock into me a second time.

That time, I felt his magic with it, and nearly blacked out.

When my eyes cleared, my arm was tight around his neck.

I was gasping, my legs clenched around his waist.

He raised himself up on his arms and looked down at me as he arched into me a third time, then harder with the fourth. His eyes looked totally gone as his hands and fingers caressed my face. He groaned again as he found a slow, heavy rhythm, and I felt myself building almost at once. When my fingers dug into his back, urging him deeper, he changed angles slightly and I cried out, arching towards him.

I came apart under him a few strokes later, and felt his shock.

It snapped him out of the trance long enough that he stopped altogether.

He hung over me, gasping, his mind sliding into mine as he felt me come. As I clenched around him, I felt him lose control, that time of his body as well as his magic.

Both things slammed into me at once.

I couldn’t see him at all by the time he came, groaning my name as he fucked me roughly into his mattress, my wrists pinned over my head.

He seemed to come for a long time.

He was talking to me by the end, but my mind couldn’t comprehend any of it. I felt so much relief on him, it somehow brought my heart to my throat. It didn’t feel wholly physical, that relief. I felt him throwing his magic into me, along with his body, and something about the combination seemed to unlock a catharsis in him that ended with him pressing down on me with all of his weight, still gasping as he leaned his forehead against my shoulder.

He didn’t move for what felt like a long time. He gripped me in his hands, breathing hard, kissing my neck, pressing his face to mine.

I thought about the few times I’d had sex before now, the drunken fumblings in parked cars outside human clubs in Overworld, how quickly we’d parted afterwards, and my mind couldn’t even connect the two experiences as being the same.

Whatever this had been, it felt nothing like that.

It couldn’t possibly have been more different.

He shifted slowly to his side, pulling me with him, and his hand began massaging my back, then my neck. I still felt that relief all over him, mixed with a hotter desire that didn’t feel remotely sated by what we’d just done. If anything, I felt the opposite on him.

He leaned closer, and kissed me lingeringly on the mouth.
