“You can’t just leave me like this, it’smean,” he whined.
Valac chuckled, kissing his shoulder. “But I like seeing you at my mercy. I like feeling you wrapped in my shadows. Knowing I have you exactly where I want you.”
Julian angled his head back, stealing an off-center kiss from Valac’s mouth. “Get me off, please? Please get me off.”
Valac’s glowing eyes studied his face as a slick finger pressed inside him, stretching him further than the shadows had been. Long and thick, Valac pushed in all the way to the knuckle, pressing against his prostate, and Julian’s eyes rolled back in his head. His body went boneless as sparks of pleasure rolled through him, and he canted his hips back for more.
“Beautiful,” Valac whispered. He moved slow at first, drawing his finger out and pushing back in.
Low, wanton sounds left Julian, sounds he barely recognized as himself. His body was on fire, every languid press of Valac’s finger adding to the blaze. When a second finger joined the first, his limbs wound tight.
“Valac, please, I have to come.” The words tumbled from his mouth in a rush. “Please let me come.” It had been so long since someone had touched him like this.
“I never said you couldn’t, little jewel,” Valac said, his teeth scraping Julian’s hip.
He thrust his fingers in hard, and it was exactly what Julian needed. His back arched as Valac’s fingers pounded in and out of him, massaging his prostate with every pass. A third finger squeezed inside him, along with another generous helping of lube, and the fresh burn sent him tumbling over the edge.
“Oh, oh,oh,” he shrieked, jerking against his invisible restraints as he spilled inside his jockstrap. He’d never come untouched before.
His ears rang as he closed his eyes, his body boneless and spent.
Chapter 20
Valac
Valac stareddown at Julian’s lax profile as he floated in the bliss of his first orgasm. His plush lips were parted, pale gold hair in disarray and eyelids heavy with ecstasy. His face and neck were rosy, and his sweet scent filled Valac’s lungs, stronger than ever. He was truly the most beautiful human he’d ever seen.
He scissored his fingers gently inside Julian’s hole. His climax had helped relax him, and now his body was almost ready. He withdrew his fingers, using shadows to plug him open once more. Julian didn’t react, and Valac wiped the lube onto the blanket beside them and leaned over him, kissing his cheek and temple until Julian opened his eyes and graced him with a smile.
“Still with me?” Valac asked.
“Definitely,” Julian rasped.
“How do you feel?”
“I… feel…” He shifted his hips, and his eyes widened. “Oh. That’s not your fingers anymore, is it?”
Valac smiled. “No.”
“That’s crazy,” Julian whispered. “I had no idea you could do that with your powers.”
He chuckled. “Truthfully, neither did I. It responds to you in a way I’ve never felt before. Like it wants you as much as I do.”
Julian’s eyes blew wide, but his brow furrowed. “Isn’t it just part of you, though? It doesn’t have a mind of its own, does it?”
“No, it doesn’t, but…” Valac struggled to find the words to explain it. “It’s a more primal part. The darkest and most demonic part. It reacts to my most basic instincts, like bloodlust or anger or, apparently, desire. For you.”
Julian raised up on his elbows, and though the shadows still circled his arms, they allowed the movement. This conversation was important. “You’re saying the deepest, darkest, most demonic piece of you recognizesmeas something it wants to—what, satisfy?”
Valac kissed him. “Yes. Whatever has drawn me to you, it affects every part of me. The conscious and the unconscious.”
Julian’s gaze softened. “I know the feeling.”
Warmth flooded Valac unlike anything he’d ever felt. He nudged Julian’s legs apart to make room for himself, needing to join their bodies more than he’d ever needed anything. “Open up for me. I want your body to learn the shape of mine.”
Julian moaned, lowering his head back to the bed and spreading his knees as far as he could. Valac smeared kisses across his back as he used a generous amount of lube and notched his aching cock at Julian’s entrance. The shadows receded as he pressed inside, stretching Julian even further than the shadowed plug had.
Julian sobbed, twisting his fingers in the sheet. “Oh God, you’re too big.”
